While I was taking pictures of Reading Rocket Ship (see above), I thought I'd get a couple of the other two shirts I also received recently.
Haunted Housework:
This looks just as cute in person as it did in the mockup! The details are so great. I still lament the lack of glow-in-the-dark ink, but I might get some fabric paint and remedy that myself. This is definitely my new Halloween shirt.
In the Library with the Wrench:
I know it's a bit silly to post this one, as it's no longer available. It came out really well though - another terrific kevmazan collaboration! I don't love the brown shirt color, but it's perfect for this design. (This is not only my first brown woot shirt, but also my first non-gray one!)

[repost from shirt's thread:]
This shirt printed beautifully. I received it this morning and wore it immediately. For females interested in the sizing conversion: I usually wear a WL and I purchased the long-sleeved t-shirt in a MS. The shirt is a little big; I'd say it fits more like a WXL. I will definitely have to shrink it in the dryer upon washing.
A couple of pictures follow--one of the fit, one of the detail. The detail image is most accurate as to colour.
Buy this shirt: it's gorgeous!!

Thanks for the pics!
Thank you! The hoodie is theoretically arriving some time today, so I'll get photos up as soon as it gets here and on to me.
{{Edit, update: I posted my hoodie photos in the holiday sale thread.}}

Sissy Sea Fight turned out fabulously. If you [right click, view image] on the photos, you can see the shirt detail in all its many-pixelled glory.
The colours are a quite a bit warmer than the photo shows them to be--more aqua/turquoise/soft teal, just like in the design mock-up on the sale page. The photo has weak colour just because I had to give up on trying to get a well-coloured picture with proper lighting.
Because gods forbid that I attempt to put clean clothing down on a non-haired-up surface to take nice photos without any of my cats demanding to be part of the endeavour. After this photo he just sprawled himself right across the shirt and insouciantly stared at me. I MEAN REALLY NOW C'MON. Harrumph.
Anyway.
BUY THE SHIRT WHILE YOU STILL CAN; It is an absurd, fun, beautifully-coloured design, despite the seeming lightness of my photos above.

Nyan's Dream:
You can resize the image. Put img=wxh in the first tag. Get the properties of the shirt, and then divide both in half/thirds.

I received Pirate (space)Ship today. It's beautiful, though surprisingly somewhat of a small print on the WXL. I know women's shirts get smaller prints, but I can't say that I've ever before noticed the difference between sale-page mockup and the printed shirt like I do here. It's not much of a criticism, though, since the design itself is still great. It's just not as large and like-three-wolf-moon-type-shirts-but-actually-cool as I expected it to be. Hells, I even ordered a size up because I like my large design print shirts to be a tad oversized so that the design drapes nicely over the chest. Sigh. Wait, I sound like I'm unhappy with the shirt--I'm not! It's a really cool shirt and I am happy that I purchased it! I think I may wear it on my next outing to the Planetarium, even. Well... maybe not. That'd be a little on the nose. So I'll just wear it normally. But proudly! Because it's a great, dreamy, romantic design. Oh, shut up, goldenthorn.

Heh, naw. I don't think that's it. This one was still on AA, which is why I bought it. But see? The size of the design makes the shirt look a lot bigger than it is, right? It's the kind of art that demands a lot of space. Kinda odd. Heh, I do know the problem of design-size perception is on me and my expectations, though, and not on woot's print team. I think. Right? Tell me I'm... wait, I'm not sure which is right and which is wrong in this shirt opinion brainspace of mine. Arrrrrrghhh. Damn it, I've got a VI to kill and a universe to save from Reapers. I don't have time for this ish!
