There's a cat... its made of pixels..... i think it 'can has' that mouse.
What else do you need!?

I almost submitted my bee that looks similar to this in the insect derby back when. I put him in the pixel derby and he didn't fair very well. This shirt is full win! Though slightly less than the kittybean ;)

Re: Oooo Shiney!

I don't know why so many people seem not to like baby blue shirts? Even if you don't it works perfectly with this shirt since it gives it that sort of night-timey feel which a real burglar would use anyway I just don't see why so many people dislike the baby blue and white? Anybody know why?

I think most people feel that white is too plain. Also, it's easily stained. Stainability is also an issue with the baby blue (to a lesser extent) as well as creme and lemon. Other issues with baby blue (from what I've read) are that it's too common and that it's a girly colour. I personally don't think it's girly though.

Re: End of an Era

I still love this shirt. It has just the right amounts of sadness and cuteness and simplicity.

Re: Pixel Collision

This is an outstanding shirt. It ws easily the best shirt in the Pixel derby, as it embraced the concept and made the best possible use of indiviudal pixels. I would buy this in 1.3 seconds if it were available.

@lunartan -- thanks!

@narkus -- thanks again. I hope that one day it can be added to your impressive sig.

@JustJiggles -- thanks to you too! There have been some artsy designs of late (as opposed to cartoon art), but I think this one is still somehow different. Fearing that it wouldn’t go over well kept me from entering it earlier the first time - instead, I wasted time on another design that I never even entered....

@Booperelli -- Um, let’s kill off the tiny part of you and keep the rest. (Did that come out right?)

@Webfoot08 -- Glad you still like it. It got nice reviews the first time around, but I really had no idea what to expect the second time. So far so good!

@Whisp125 -- A positive comment on one of my designs will always be “doing it right” in my book. :-) Thanks!


Thanks to everyone voting for this design. Thursday seems a long way off right now. It’s hard to watch -- but even harder to stay away....

Re: Summertime

if it doesn't win this time, I'm going to be very upset.

Re: this shirt

How exciting that this shirt gets another chance!

I hope it wins, I really love the ingenuity of it. Like I said before, cubist bird's nest is so cool.

This and Rocky Raccoon and I will happily be wooting once again.

Go RedGhia! FTW!!!!

Re: El Prospector Cansado

Oh! Didn't see this gem!

Please make the win!!! El Buscador quit too sooooon!

Re: Bambi Tells Me Things

PLEASE make it to the fog!!!!! Gaaaah! I love this shirt so much!!

I would buy this elsewhere, also.

So heads above the rest. So wonderfully done.

Re: energy harvester

I'm serious in saying that I'd buy two shirts. I really, really like this design. The simple color scheme, the highlights being a more luminescent shade of the shirt's color, the concept itself, the fact that it looks like it's both harvesting and at the same time protecting the plant...

Actually dsladek, if this doesn't win the shirt would you mind if I printed a copy and hung it on the wall of my apartment?

This shirt is great! I love it, if it doesn't get printed with woot. I hope you'll print it elsewhere.

Re: this shirt

Every time I look at this I like it better. So glad it's in the fog!

Re: Summertime

It's great to see this climbing up the charts, it's a total favorite of mine. Cool design based on a cool song!

Gahhh I want this shirt!!! Drooled over it the first time, and it looks like I will again.

Re: Starcraft a la Creme

i would vote fo rthis if there was a different shirt color, something darker would look better i think

Re: Bye Bye Bluebird

It's really too bad that all the gripes from gentry's latest birdtree had to happen the week before this derby. This design is elegant and powerful without the pander.

Re: The Summer-ai

Damn this shirt is awesome. I'd want this the most out of any shirt this derby, which is saying something considering how quality they all are.

I want this so bad! It just *has* to make it to print. Vote people, vote! Please!

Re: El Prospector Cansado

Sorry to see this drop off the top 4. I like the subtleness of the design a lot.

Someone needs to put a stop to llo-Cats and the people who use llo-Cats writing.

Thanks, Sleemo!

Re: Rocket Rodeo

Um. Ah. Can I get her phone number? Maybe?

Shigwarm wrote:This would have been perfect for the Pixel themed derby!

Yeah, unfortunately there'd only be room for maybe 2-4 MJ's with the large pixel size. The shirt wouldn't have been as funny...

tgentry wrote:Ha, sorry KM, I doubt it would do much good. I think it's the prospector's lot in life to be the perennial loser.

Oh come on tgentry! Don't quit now... you've almost hit gold.

Resubmit! My whole family wants this shirt. My five year old has been describing it to everyone.

Thanks so much for the support!

Re: Sweet Dreams Are Made of These...

Thanks to everyone who has voted and/or commented. This shirt is a personal fave of mine. I appreciate the love.

I don't understand how this didn't get printed the first time through! It is absolutely hilarious, and the only shirt in the fog right now I will even consider! I would LOVE to have this shirt!!!

Re: Inspired By Rocky Raccoon By The Beatles

I think this shirt would appear to be nothing more than a raccoon dressed up in western clothes to 98% of people. It needs some kind of text reference to the Beatles. As is it seems like just another furry animal shirt trying to be cute... or is it? :P

This is really adorable =)

Re: MINE!

I still want this shirt so hardcore. Since it doesn't seem to be doing too well, Woot, you need to make it an Editor's Choice!!! And don't forget woot staff, I know where you live now.

Re: Sashimi Hunters Woodcut

I preferred the colored version much more, but this is still a great design, and I hope it gets back up in the fog.

zuniteton wrote:As will I

Same here!!! <3 it

Re: El Prospector Cansado

I think this shirt is a likely Editor's Pick. At least, I hope so because it deserves to be printed.

Re: Pixel Art Straight from the Brush

Thanks for the votes on this one. Not too shabby given that it came from the pixel derby. Looks like I received 110 in that derby...so this time....I'm shooting for 111.

Thanks again.

Good luck to all the foggers this week. Really great designs up there!

Re: Inspired By Rocky Raccoon By The Beatles

Wow, Cho, I didn't fully appreciate this the first time around. I'm glad we're seeing it again and am happy it's in the fog. Best of luck for it staying there. I might just have to lift my no brown shirt ban.

Re: this shirt

Glad to see this one getting so much appreciation again. Hopefully it will remain in the fog where it belongs! Good luck, red.

Re: energy harvester

Good Luck DS!!! I hope that both of your designs get printed. Your work is so incredibly well done and you have had enough close calls to go quite crazy. I hope that this derby will be a nice bit of relief for you and will encourage you to continue to make designs. I look forward to see more designs by you in the future. Even though that means that I have to work harder if I hope to compete.
