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 ;)

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?

Recant your previous statement TGentry and resub for the next derby. Or else...

Well, for one, there could be a riot. But other bad things too... bad bad things.



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.

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.

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....

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: 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.

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.

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

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...

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.

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

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!

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: 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.
