Re: Civil War

These gentlemen are battling each other in a game of 'War". Hope you like!

Re: Civil War

EXCELLENT!!! The detail, the color selection, everything.
One of the true oxymoron shirts out there, and one of the few that can be worn without explanation.

This is funny and one of the woot shirts on here that I might buy but it is kind of childish looking. For something cool check out dsladek's "Civil War".

we have NEVER had anything LIKE it here!
gee willikers i cant WAIT for this to print.

Original? Shirt woot has had tons of tree shirt designs. This is just another one done differently.

Re: Civil War

Gorgeous! very well done.

Re: Civil War

Late entry. Civil War. The deadliest of all oxymorons.

Re: Civil War

wow, this should be a steady climber.

Re: The Sound of Silence

In Space, No one can hear you SCREAM.

Re: Slow Cheetah

i don't think slow cheetah is an oxymoron anyone uses, nor does this design invoke any sense of speed or lack there of.

Re: Stop Motion

How do you make diamond shaped half tone - super cool.

Re: Girly Man!

Hehehehehe!
I think this is going to be my new sig!

Excelant use of colors!

Re: The Lone Pear

well besides the text, ist also grossly off topic.

Re: Expect the Unexpected!

I love this one!
Don't see how it fits with the theme on this Derby, though...
You still GMV. :-)

Re: Cat Fish

This cat certainly doesn't mind getting his paws wet, probably because he doesn't have any!

Actually, he looks a lot like a cat I used to have, who'd quite happily jump into the bath with me!

Re: Killed with Kindness (2)
Class...

A stone cold killer a with a rainbow gun. I think I will order both the shirt and the gun...

Re: Repulsive Attraction

The oxymoron is "repulsive attraction." If there is an attraction there should not (maybe even CANNOT) be repulsive. UNLESS you happen to be a magnet about to be dropped in a junkyard compactor. As attractive as that bigg magnet is, it's just repulsive to think of your fate!

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=20433]

This deserves to win. Nothing comes close for this theme. The sheer awesomeness of it should override any rules/rejections.

Re: It was a mercy killing...

Fantastic shirt, love the design and idea.
Good stuff, I'd buy it.

Re: Long-distance Relationship

I agree that making the shirt color match the sky would improve this--you could then finish out the edges of your streetlight's illumination...you would lose the boxed-in look, which I have noticed woot voters tend not to like.
I'd love to see this one reworked, and resubmitted to a future Derby. :-)

Re: Little Jumboshrimp is Sleeping

Like the well-known oxymoron, little Jumboshrimp is the cuddly but ill-begotten love-child of Jumbo the large touring circus elephant from Africa and a sea-creature whose name does double-duty, referring both to several species of crustacean and to the diminutive members of the human race.

5 colors on a Kelly green shirt.

Besides it being a popular RHCP song title, the idea is that no one thinks of cheetahs as being slow, usually most pictures, and artwork are of either cheetah's running at lightning speeds or sleeping.

I also didn't want to beat a dead horse into a ground using common oxymoron. I don't want anyone to accuse me of stealing their idea.

Re: Open Code

Hee!
Funny, but appeals to a limited niche audience...plus the numbers might be considered more han incidental text...you GMV for geekly humor...

Re: Pour My Heat Out (Red Resub)

I like the change!

It's bizarre and I love it.

cainja1 wrote:(Almost) an exact resub with a different name. No rules against this yet. Hopefully it will do better this time! Thanks for looking!

Well let's see...

This is EXACTLY the same from what I can see. (ie., there isn't enough of a change to be resubbed, especially so soon when the other derby was only 2 days ago. Oh wait... I saw 1 droplet removed from the bottom XP nope, still not enough. ) and woot, as well as Joel, frown on resubs as a general rule. And I agree with spryte. You should check her list of rules.

And "pouring one's heart out" isn't oxymoronic. An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines two usually contradictory terms in a compressed paradox, as in the word 'bittersweet' or the phrase 'living death'. Your phrase isn't contradictory, nor is it paradoxical. It is, however, an idiom: a phrase or grammatical construction that cannot be translated literally into another language because its meaning is not equivalent to that of its component words. Examples, of which there are thousands in English, include: follow suit, hell for leather, flat broke, on the wagon, well hung, etc.

Re: Beyond Infinity

It will likely get rejected. Woot considers the infinity symbol text--which means this design has more than incidental text. r

Re: Hell's Angel

Just another entry to get the hang of my graphics program.

Anyway, beautiful work, gmv.

Thank you. Yes, it was.

You bet your sweet butt it is. Wait... but he inverted the colors! Totally original, I take it back.

Thank you for the easily misconstrued comment! Ha-ha!

Don't worry. Soon after the picture this image is based on was taken, the bird invested in some scuba gear. They live happily on a reef near the Bikini Atoll.

Amazing artwork! Very unique.

Re: Happy Camper

The lighting of the tent wall is fantastic! I saved this to remind myself of the halftone technique. Great color combination.

snarkygal wrote:woot related

How so? It's a FedEx joke, nothing to do with woot. Woot doesn't provide the service or have anything to do with it other than use it. You can use smartpost yourself, as far as I know.

edit: they even listed it as an obvious example of an oxymoron in the contest description. That pretty much makes it on-topic, doesn't it?

Re: Some Serious Fun

Wow, this is very good.

Re: Civil War

I see a foggy future for you.
