Re: Helium: Octo's Great Adventure

sokowa, back to the fog with you! I do love this design. That expression on the octopus is priceless. Best of luck. Hope you're back in fogland when you return.

Re: Carbon: Where Diamonds are Formed

Awesome design! I love how it's morphing out of the carbon!

Re: Plutonium: Shiva's Plaything

Where's the third eye?

Re: Gold: Pucker's Tooth Replacement of Choice!

Everyone knows gold is the coolest fake tooth around. It tells people, not only do you get in fights, you can afford to replace your teeth with gold!

Thank you for your consideration and have a nice weekend, folks!

Re: Plutonium: Shiva's Plaything

It's kind of haunting. Very interesting.

Re: Tin: Safety First!

I'm glad you changed the guy in the background. I saw the original last night and his shadow looked strange, but I didn't get a chance to comment. This looks great, sokowa.

Thought this was pretty interesting...

From Wikipedia:
"In both film and television shows, such as The Simpsons, plutonium is often illustrated as a bright green luminous substance similar to Uranium glass, or sometimes in liquid form. However, elemental plutonium does not glow unless there is a significant amount of it decaying and emitting blackbody radiation, and even then the glow is bright orange rather than green."

I thought this would be a pretty cool idea. It's supposed to be an atom of plutonium being used inside your chest for energy under a see-through enclosure. Little tubes branch off dispersing energy with wires/circuits to add some detail.

For the science people: There aren't the correct amount of protons and electrons (94), but there are the correct number of energy levels (7). I thought I'd take some artistic license and leave out a lot of them because...well, 94 electrons and protons is sort of a lot to deal with and would make everything WAY too cluttered.

I decided to stick with a white shirt because the glare on the top left of the main ball is actually the shirt color. I may submit it on a different color if I get enough feedback to justify the changes.

Re: Plutonium: Shiva's Plaything

whoah.. if I thought this would show up on a shirt, I'd be first in line to get this. The colouring is amazing; perfect. Great art, but I'm not sure how it would print. =(

See, I'm not sure if that's a problem or not. I asked in the main derby thread yesterday if the design itself would have to be linked to the element, or if the title was all that was required. I think you're right that it should be tied to the element, but I'm not sure what woot thinks about that.

Chris - the art is great. I'm still not sure why you haven't been printed yet. Don't give up!

Re: Radium: the Watch of Ra

Beautiful Toe! (You did that gorgeous scarab that I loved so much a few derbies ago, right?) Love the details that you've added and how you made the design glow. Wonderful work!

Re: Helium: Octo's Great Adventure

My favorite of your entries this week! You always do such great expressions.

Have fun in Chicago!

Clever! The necklace did it for me... GMV!

Re: Iron: Iron Man

llo, I loved that toy when I was little.

Sozen wrote:llo the desription made me laugh

Okay, I'm confused about where to see the description. I know there has to be one typed in, but I can never find it.

Re: Lithium: Mood stabilizer in early sodas

It's so delightfully fizzy!

Re: Argon: Noble Gas

Argon is such a pimp...royalty, nothin'!

Re: Tin: Safety First!

Awesome!

SUPER AWESOME! Love it. Shouldn't it be aluminum though? I'll still buy it though...

Re: Plutonium: Shiva's Plaything

That looks absolutely amazing. Not sure why Shiva is used, but I think it works.

I think this would print well. Even dark colours seem to print ok on black. For example, sundbe's Human Genome Project had dark browns on black that turned out fine. Hmm.

Re: Seaborgium: Failed Experiment 106

I like how this is awesome even without knowing it involves an element.

toe2254 wrote:as an added bonus if you lay down outside wearing this shirt with your head pointing due north and place the tip of a pencil or straw (whatever you have handy) on the grey dot on Ra's cheek, the design works as a sundial. never worry about leaving your watch at home again!

Leave my my watch at home! I'm wearing this shirt everyday--that sounds so much easier than looking at my wrist.

Re: Plutonium: Shiva's Plaything

I think it would print beautifully. I can't wait to order one!

Re: Iron: ic

Took me five minutes to figure it out. I want one!

The description Sozen was talking about is probably your title.

The description you type in when you submit doesn't appear on the site. My guess is that it's mainly for Joel (the rejectionator) and helps him decide if something is on theme or off topic.

Re: Seaborgium: Failed Experiment 106

love this design, needs more votes so i can purchase it!

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=20919]Hydrogen:

Nice! Such a simple concept yet so darn funny!

mck367 wrote:Nice, I like it. Wasn't element 106 the one where the young chemist published fictional results due to its innate instability? Is that what the title refers to?

106 is Seaborgium, which is the pun for this design.

Mito - phoenix next time. Phoenix.

Here's hoping one of your designs takes off this week.

Re: Promethium : Prometheus. Fire throughout the ages

This design is to illustrate how fire is so essential to our being, that the ancient Greeks made up a mythos all about how man received it. Today, it's still important; even scientists drew from that mythos when they were to name Promethium. Note the gear on the right side of shirt.

Re: GERMANIUM: the flowering infector

Must explain: This is an absolute pun - geranium/germanium. Germanium is the plant that grows all germs.

yep, that was me. yours turned out fabaroo, glad to see you coming back around to this style.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=20979]Sulfur: Fire

i'm new to this so I thought I'd just post to my own design. Hope everyone likes it.

Buy 7 so you can always have a clean one. Ra would want you to.

Re: Carbon: Dating since 1949

Now that's funny!

I do know you from somewhere - ironic, isn't it.

Wouldn't you have a Fe +2 on all corners of the wheel to make this a ferrous wheel?

Ahh. Absolutely brilliant in all aspects then. Amazing stuff sir.

Re: Seaborgium: Failed Experiment 106

Seaborgium was the result of a daring adventure into the elements of the deep. It came to life through a nuclear reaction involving fusion of an isotope in the waters of the coast of Californium. No one expected what happened next!

Thank you for visiting our entry. Seaborgium is a collabrative effort between mitohapa and myself (brydesign). We really enjoyed the team effort through a two hour time difference, instant messaging, and never having met before! Mito has a terrific style and when I came up with this concept I knew it would be a good partnership. Hope you enjoy!
