It really is awesome! I was impressed by it immediately and I would wear it any day. good going.

Welcome Welcome! Make your self at home. Sit back, relax, and kick your feet up (but please take off your shoes first). Stay as long as you want, within reason. I hope you enjoy your stay here and come back soon!

...and yes, I think that this design at 8px per inch would've been awesome (and with more lines of course). =D

This is great. You really got a lot of depth in it which looks cool. Nice and simple, GMV.

Re: Get Your Nerd On

I'm sure over 60% of the participants here at Woot wear glasses. I know I do. This is for our four-eyed friends; to take control of our image and embrace our geekitude. It's also for the other 40% who don't have glasses and wish they did. We're the silent majority no longer!

Re: Inventions of Early Man: Fire

This will get rejected.

hey guys, does it look like the shirt in this?

Cheese and crackers, what the daisy hill was THAT?

Anyway. The shirt looks beautiful. I'm a sucker for OCD design (I do Elizabethan blackwork embroidery for FUN), and this is gorgeous. I'd buy it, and I've voted for it.

it's nice to know other people suffer from my same afflictions! thanks for the vote.

What a coincidence. They called me and asked me to audition for them recently. I should bring them my shirt, try to make a little scratch that way ;)

What for?

My daughter plays the bassoon so I have to ask - what does this saying mean and/or refer to?

Yeah, personally I think it would look a lot better if it were just drawn with a sweet background pattern around it in black and white. I'm really strong on stark color and nobody likes white. I really appreciate the comment. Something for me to think about next derby.

Re: Magnetic Pixel Particles

cool shirt!! the colors are working great!!

Re: Square Woot!

C'mon! Woot isn't text...it's a lifestyle...ha. I don't expect Woot to let this go, but I couldn't pass up the idea.

Much nicer without the frame.

superpope89 wrote:What for?

No text is one of the rules this derby.

Briany wrote:Lines? My dear sir, there are no lines in this piece of work, only the illusion of lines. It has to look like a mosaic or it wouldn't be an ode to a Grecian Octopus . . . It'd be an ode to an Atari Octopus . . . or something.

It may still get rejected for the "illusion of lines." The squares were suppose to be continuous pixels and no lines or spaces between squares.

Addressed: Lines and Spaces

Re: Leafy Design

This is interesting, but it doesn't quite read as "leafy" in color. If you shifted the colors so that they were all shades of green it might look more like leaves. Good luck to you.

you know it will be rejected as soon as they see it...

Not for the text, but they do not allow woot related shirts.....

Why are people voting on this? No offense but I hate this design.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I hope, though, that you don't mind other people voting for a shirt that they like, even if it's not to your personal taste.

illuminator wrote:wow

I know! Talk about a shirt that kicks a55 and takes names. I have to have this! C'mon people, let's get this into the hotness immediately!

Good for her! Bassoons are cool though I don't know many people who play them.

In The Matrix there was a scene that coined the phrase "There is no spoon". Bassoon kinda rhymes with spoon, and since it's a music related play on The Matrix I just went with it.

@ cheese - Thanks! I was surprised at how well it worked with just two colors.

Re: low-rez fork?

A riddle; What does this shirt have in common with bacon?

A: It'spork

Thank you.

Re: Ghosts

That's awesome! I loved that shirt when I bought it from threadless.

itsbeth wrote:Very similar to this: http://www.dieselsweeties.com/shirts/buccaneer-americans/

I asked you not to click on it, jeez.

Anyway thanks for letting me know someone had already done this. Of course, I can't remove it now, but I hope the admins remove it (although I really don't see the similarity, his (hers?) is much better).

You really gotta go out and pimp this design more so it can get in the fog. It's literally the only shirt in the competition I would consider buying.

Re: uncle walt

My senior english teacher would be awestruck.

Very well done.

Re: Screamy Night (resubbed to fix lines)

"Rejected because: Copyright"

I love the rejector. We need to get some beers and laugh about the old days.

Re: blue angel

I like the design of your angel! Good Work

Re: Sunset 3.0

Okay, forget anything to do with starry night - here's a new one that's not based on anything, no photo used as a guide, just a bunch of boxes filled with color. Hope you like it!

Re: A Leaf On The Wind

Heheh... is this a reference to that certain television show that gets filtered as "Roseanne" when you type it into Woot? :-)

Re: Screamy Night (resubbed to fix lines)

Where was the rejector during the graffiti derby?

I'll see what I can do about that.

Re: My Shirt of Discontent

this is a great shirt and, honestly, one of the few gems of this derby. this certainly deserves (at the very least) a Best Loser or an Honorable Mention.

Re: MADE WITH REAL BUTTER AND FRESH CREAM

hahahahaha!!!! WOW!

Re: Sunset 3.0

i really really like this one and personally, i think it blows your starry night entries away. the colors blend very nicely, and they give it a really bold look. gmv, and i wish others would g their v's too...

fablefire wrote:I'll see what I can do about that.

I don't think it needs any pimping. It seems to have trampled right over my poor fox on its way up to the fog. :-)

I dunno. Your fox keeps nipping at its heels. XD

fablefire wrote:I dunno. Your fox keeps nipping at its heels. XD

Heh. Well I won't give up hope. It's early in the derby still, so there's no telling who will be in the final three when the dust all settles. :-)

Re: My Shirt of Discontent

love it! i would wear this daily!
