The Family Guy movie was called Blue Harvest, so it should count.

For the record, I did this movie design already, as I knew about the theme in advance.

Dibs on Jackass: The Movie...*llo* work in progress on two other movies as well!!

SailorButterfly wrote:Sounds like a promising theme. Seriously doubt anyone will do my favorite movie (the Last Unicorn), but I'm sure there will be some cool shirts!

I won't be online after today until Sunday night. Looking forward to seeing what you talented guys and gals come up with!

The only thing I could come up with for this is sad. I just see a bunch of dead unicorns with one left alive standing in the middle. I can't do that.

Alright, now that I got your attention, I wanted to let everyone in on the concept I'm sketching out right now. I will post some of the sketches in a few hours. I will be doing Dark Knight. I am going to have a battle between Medieval knights with various colored armors that parody the foes of batman. I will post my sketches soon, but any comments or direction (i.e. shirt color design layout/elements, etc.) before I post would be appreciated. I'm thinking asphalt with black colored knight in middle surrounded by purple knight Joker, green knight riddler/croc, tan/brown for scarecrow, Red for 2face.

Thanks in advance.

Darn it, I was thinking of the Dark Knight too. Although I was just thinking of just doing the one knight.

"GoldenEye"

Wow, this theme is just way too tempting. I'm going to be busy with moving to college...but I MUST attempt this theme. =D So many possibilities, I was a little worn out by the boring themes.

IE- if I wanted to do a parody of Deep Throat or Debbie Does Dallas, but the parody is kid-friendly, would it be likely to get rejected just on the source material/title itself? IE- I was thinking of doing a parody of the former by showing a woman sword-swallowing...

is that a sword in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Yeah, that's a cool design. I gave it a 5, but I just can't bring myself to wear a girl's naked boobages, so I don't think I'll be picking it up...

alright! just had inspiration hit as I was writing my last post about animated movies and classic movies. tell me what you think of it. just sketchy, didi it in a few minutes... but the dwarves are going to be in browns and golds... maybe grays. but the snow around them will be the only thing that is white.
inspired by snow white and the seven dwarves.

I loved the lyrics derby. This sounds like it could be fun.

Glad to see Richard Firestorm get a print.

Free ideas for Last Unicorners...I've tried and failed on my illustration career for shirt.woot:

- Grampa unicorn in rocker with blanket sitting by a fire...maybe reading the obituaries

- Line of unicorns waiting to get into something like a movie or concert...what kind of concert would Unicorns go to? or maybe he's up to the ticket window with a sold out sign as you glimpse one just going into concert/theater or something.

-and then there's always a blend of the movie and Last Unicorn song...unicorn scuba-diving as Noah's Ark goes off into the rain

Please forgive the quality of this. I'm away from home and a scanner. Here's a little sketch of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Didn't like my last uni-corn?

Alien could go so many ways. Also, who's gonna snag Requiem For a Dream?

I'll see what I can do anyway.

I hope people think about "classics" from different generations like To Kill a Mockingbird and A Clockwork Orange, to The Big Chill ad The Breakfast Club, all the way to the present! I am hoping for some great shirts!

Of course...it made me a bit hungry, actually. I think it needed to be still on the cob...oh, and of course it was missing the horrified face ;)

I'm some sort of young or something, classics for me are Pinocchio and such. I've heard of those movies, but I haven't seen them. :/

I'd like to think this will be the case; however, it's also very possible that people will stick to what's current and familiar right now ... lousy movies that will have slipped completely from the cultural consciousness in a couple of years time, making the shirts a lot less relevant & entertaining.

I'm almost certain this will get rejected. whether they are dopey, smoochy, grouchy, gilligan, doc, etc, or not, they are still dwarves.

nice of you to keep it to yourself. ;^)

Do I have to? I assumed it was o.k. as everyone else was sharing their ideas.

I assume he was wishing you had shared the theme with him.

And the movie title is... "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves"

Ah, I didn't catch that. I took the Andy route. ;)

Here is what I want to see:
Naked Gun (i really want to see someone do something with this!), Happy Feet, Jaws, Edward Scissorhands, Full Metal Jacket and Dances with Wolves.

It doesn't seem to me like the color scheme of a movie in and of itself could be considered being a distinctive visual element of said movie. For instance, would I be prohibited from using any black and neon green if I were going to do a matrix shirt. Or no red and yellow If I did Iron Man. This doesn't seem like a valid extension of their so called "distinctive visual elements" clause.

Regulatory issues aside, you can't copy right a color - or a combination of colors for that matter.

Anyone else want to chime in? Woot Staff?

I hope there are fans of underwater foot apparel. Comments always appreciated and welcomed.

Here's my work in progress for "28 days later"

Please give me some feedback.

I don't get the movie title - what is it?

I would love to see these movies done with the feel of the movie

Pan's Labyrinth
The Departed
Pulp Fiction (I loved Edgar's parody of this)

Just my personal opinion, but I would rather see something thematic rather than just bad puns.

Das Boot, right? That's really funny.

Iambusyeating wrote:And the movie title is... "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves"

Right - I don't think the design will be rejected just for having dwarves, since they're in the title. To be safe, thethatcher, you should make sure they don't look like the classic Disney characters. I love the idea though! I can't wait to see it finished.

Okay, very rough, posting here to see if I should go with the idea:



Any feedback would be appreciated.

I've been playing around with a couple different variations of this one. my favorite one is seven garden gnomes (not dwarfs, but very similar) covered in the first snow of the season. with a dead/dying garden in the background. (the garden will be very muted, more of an after thought than anything)

Unfortunately, only incidental text is allowed in this derby, and I'm not sure if this would count. Obviously the text is there for a reason, but it might be too prominent.
Any other opinions on whether this would count or not?

Hm. Yeah, now occurs to me that's not very incidental. Oh well. Excuse to be lazy and not do it! Hooray! :D

BITCHIN"!!!

I like old horror movies so I hope some does something with those. It would also be cool to see something like Shawn of the Dead of Hot Fuzz done up. I have no idea how to do any of them (so it is a good thing I don't design t-shirts). There is also Princess Bride that could be used.

I like "The Last Unicorn" too and the shirt at Threadless doesn't remind me at all of the movie.
