Re: I got hungry

Does evidence of a bug's presence count?

Re: CICADA HEADS UP

Aerodino this is pretty neat! I like the texture that you used. Is it a chalk or pastel effect? Almost looks like it was smudged with pastels.....I like it!

Sorry to say, but, imo, you lose the fine detail especially around the face. I don't really like it on those options. I am a tiny bit curious about the light blue, but, it may be best on cream after all. I can't see it on the lemon at all.

Re: One in a Million (Redux)

Kind of reminds me of static on TV (ahh! ant battle, the black team is winning, no, the white team is winning).

Re: SPIDER WITCH

Absolutely gorgeous! Not only do you get my vote, but I REALLY want one. Thanks for posting your initial sketch.

Re: SPIDER WITCH

alright every one Im going to go with creme. and I will be adding other colors. it will be up later tonight. so come back and revote please

dsladek wrote:alright every one Im going to go with creme. and I will be adding other colors. it will be up later tonight. so come back and revote please

You got it. Good luck!

Re: SPIDER WITCH

okay...cream sounds good!

Other colors of ink too?

I really love the monochromatic look of the design. Personally, I'd love to see the cranberry ink on the cream shirt.

But, you are an awesome illustrator as we've seen in the past.....so you'll definitely have something to WOW us. Can't wait to see what you submit. You'll have my vote for sure!

Re: Ruined picnic?

Please vote for me... my goal is +30... I am so close!

Yes, me too. Behind you all the way.

Oops, that's me. Woot sometimes arbitrarily logs me in under my old name. Gah!

Re: Beetle VS Frog II

Trippy! Gmv.

Re: What you can't see can be the scariest thing

Oh sure, you see legs. Harmless legs. But what is it that you cannot see? Is it more dangerous? Or harmless. Let your imagination fill it in... A shirt for dark rooms.

Re: Wright's Dragonfly

Very nicely done, as is your other one. Voted for both, of course. I have been a longtime fan of FLW, too. It's also nice to know that if yours don't quite make it to the top 3 here, eventually they'll be available on your Cafepress site.

i thought this would be more appealing to voters than it turned out to be, why?
confusing? ugly? gimme something!

I like the colors, Chris, but, just not sure what's going on in the design.

Re: Beetle VS Frog II

nice resub - very unique!

Oh no! Too many colors... will resub soon!

Sure, "42" must be serious enough for an elementary schoolish t-shirt design, yet you're far too serious (and apparently too mature since "comedy stops at grade school) of a person to actually try to understand what you're referencing.

He only reads his own type. Which i'm sure could fill a rather lengthy set of encyclopedias.

this is the problem with the derbies. People will throw anything out that might possibly resonate, and I betcha anything people are voting for this largely because he slapped a 42 on it. If that is somehow more worthy of printing than some of the work lingering below the fog, I guess I need new eyes.

Re: Beetle VS Frog III

Yikes- sorry for the resub, but I had forgotten to change one of the white colors to the cream color (i.e., I had too many colors)

Re: How the universe works.

you've been doing some definitely different work lately, Edgar... I didn't notice any of your shirts as yours until I clicked 'em.

This is really pretty cool right here. The derby is definitely better for having you in it.

Re: Khepera

Really cool design. I like a lot of the designs here, but it's rare that I see one that I really, really want.

It looks nothing like Grow, liar.

toe2254 wrote:this is a really great design, whether you created the filigree yourself or not. filigree is extremely tough to do and if someone feels they can do it better themselves they should put their filigree where their mouth is and show us.

Taking care of children is extremely tough to do, as well, so by your recommendation, I will ship any children I may have off to someone more experienced than me. They will raise them, and I will take the credit when they turn out well-adjusted and successful. The kids will love me, as I will be their father, and more so when they see I entrusted them to a better parent.

Or, better idea, maybe I shouldn't have kids if I'm not willing to put in the effort myself. Just like people shouldn't design if they can't put in the effort themselves.

Re: Scarabian Nights [resub -- not blurry?]

Dude, your Scarabs are amazing. Got my vote!

Re: Seasonal Dragonfly

I showed this one to my wife and she absolutely loves it. The use of color to represent the seasons is great.

They look similar, but they don't look identical.

Re: Flight of the Panda-Bee

Yeah, the clouds have an awkward placement. especially if you're a woman. But, do like the panda.

Re: The Killer Bees Are Coming!!

Veeeeery interesting.

I don't know if you have a larger, non-artifacted image of the design, but if you could stick it on photobucket or something, and post it in the thread, it might help your vote count. Always good to see something interesting from someone new

Re: Mehndi Butterflies

Love the design. The placement's to centered for my tastes, maybe to the right, but great design. Got my vote.

Re: At Last We Meet . . .

Love the mantis, not so hot about the beetle, but great concept and design!

Thanks Webfoot. I'd love to say that Cafepress is a good 'runner-up' to not being printed, but I'd be lying. Given CP's prices, it's tough to sell enough shirts to break the $1000.00 payout here. It's another form of exposure, I guess. But, I've sold more 'gifty' items on cafepress than I have tshirts.

I may decide to create a spreadshirt store too now that they have increased their printing options. It'll have to wait until I'm back with all my old files on my computer.

Thanks again for the kind words and the votes. This one's never been in the hotness, so I don't know if it can move up any further by Thursday.

I really don't like it as light on dark at all. I'd try it on cream, personally. good luck - you can't please everyone! but heather grey is not apparently a good choice for non-distressed images

Amazing design, perfect placement, and colors. got my vote.

Awesome! Now back to dueling... how many steps???

Re: 42 Honeycombs

I wish the design would cover a little more of the shirt space. But it looks great!

Aw man... the quality is all low...

Re: Maroachra 20X6 (on Red)

Great design! GMV

Re: Beetle VS Frog III

This isn't a design that I would personally wear, but you deserve props for the artwork itself...truly fantastic!

L O L thanks Silver!!! I wish it had gained a bit more popularity, but there are so many good entries this week, that I'm not surprised where it's sitting. But it's still doing ok.
