Well, I had to think about it a while, but finally GMV. I'm not gonna wear it (I'm more a Baha-net-having guy myself), but I have a sister who'll get a kick out of it. Good luck winning!

Sweet- this fogged! Despite my abundance of asphalt shirts and general dislike of zombie designs, I really like this one. Great job, dsladek!

Now you be nice to the octosquid!



I'm not sure which is my favorite, this or the octopus, but they're both head and shoulders above the rest of the fog. And that goes double for coffee-splat... may it rot in pieces.

GMV, and I actually peeled a vote off soundwaves; it's not going back on unless it comes totally to the end and you're still not in the fog, to stomp the zombies... (Who wants a zombie shirt, really?)

I don't feel the way i used to about a lot of things here on woot and I regret being so brash in the past with my opinions. from now on if i don't like a design I simple don't vote on it or bash it. and I leave it at that. only if I have something positive or constructive to say I will post. we all make mistakes, and I am sorry if I ripped on artists in the past for designs I don't like, just because I don't like it doesn't mean others don't like it.

thankyou every one who has voted and commented!

Someone should design a "zombie bunny" shirt. It could be a big seller.

Its a shame to see good shirts rejected, but rules be rules.

I look forward to your future submissions. =D

I love everything about this shirt.
I just can't see wearing it.
Also I dislike the color...
... and the graphic.

Re: Ovaltina, my goat!



Absolutely love it. Not only does it use classical mythology in a not-cheesy way, the relation of image-to-the-text-it-creates is very much not predictable. I mean, it's easy to spell 'beavers' out of a bunch of tiny beavers, but to seamlessly incorporate the text into a logical image? That's a good derby entry.

Wanting is no art...to want rightly, on the other hand, is a great art, or rather, it is a gift.

Re: Juicy



In terms of creative use of elements, composition and colour choices, this is my favourite shirt in the derby. The text is extremely legible even though none of the letters on their own look like they're supposed to be letters. It's absolutely brilliant. The colours are wonderfully bright as well.

The only thing that would keep me from buying this is the text. I don't think I could pull off wearing the word "Juicy". Still, I really like it. If it gets an HM and wins in the next double-take, I'll seriously have to consider buying it for a friend. I don't know which friend, but even so...

Better luck next week, Loopy.

Re: Octospelled



I know this entry got slammed for supposedly trying to capitalize on the octopus that placed in last week's derby, but I like this one much better. The other one was funny because of the old role reversal (octopus catching humans, how mad!), but this one's much funnier to me because most people will just see a huge octopus on your chest. I like the effect of this better. I'm not knocking the other shirt, this one's just more my style.

Does woot ever print more than the top three derby winners? I think about five shirts deserve a run of at least 1000 shirts.

Thanks!

My 9 year old had to point it out for me. "Duh, Mom, 52 pick up!" He and his sis totally want this shirt, so go 52 and make it to the fog!! They will be disappointed if this doesn't make it to the final 3. Please vote! How can you disappoint the children? ..sniffle..sniffle.. Think of the children!! :o)

This is definitely one of the most creative shirt designs I've seen on Woot! I love that the shirt works whether or not you see the words spelled out. Would definitely buy it, and voted accordingly.

I'm sorry, but I don't see anything here that even remotely looks like text other than what is written on the cards.

You can ride with me, or you can find your own path. Don't stab me in the back after I've cleared the way.
