Re: Envy of the One Headed Man

I knew this was yours before I even clicked. I like it, +.

Re: At Least He's not Lazy...

He's very Proud and Wrathful!
He's extremely Greedy and Envious!
He's insatiably Gluttonous and Lustful!

Yes, he's a pretty bad guy for sure, but at least no one will ever call him a sloth...

because he's not...

and because he'd KILLthem with his GIANT AXE!

Re: Roid Raging Wrath of the Samurizzle

This is sweet A! I always like your designs. Yours is one of the 2 Woot shirts I've bought for myself. I'm not one for cartoony/cutesy designs myself. In any event well done. Good placement as well.

Re: Corn-fed Lust

Beautiful but deadly. Inspired by 40's era bomber nose art

Thanks, good luck.

Re: Green with Envy!

Yellow Bananas are sooo sweet!...Literally.
Green Bananas suck! Unless you're talking plantains because those are great, especially fried.

My wife laughed when she saw this and she's thinking it will be her 2nd shirt to buy, so let's help it along shall we folks.

i really have to be honest, this does not look like a design that i would be particularly fond of having plastered on the front of my shirt.

Who broke his nose?

Re: Burning Scream of Wrath

I like to see non-cutesy designs get printed because I don't wear the cutesy stuff.
I love you and your design, even if you do hate me!
Annajo you da man!

...or woman as it were.

Re: Greedy Pirate

Best design of the derby. Fit's the theme perfectly and creatively. Clean.

to the unassuming populace this design will be looked at as a hot woman coming out of a candle. unless you really like explaining your t-shirts, and i suppose it would be a good way to begin a conversation, i would pass.

Re: Lust is Like a Flame

Even with everything you said about not being too happy with it, it came out great and looks to win, so congrats on this one. I think it came out great and the colors work great on the shirt for sure.

Re: Envy of the One Headed Man

I like the mountains in the background!!! And those crazy two-headed birds...

Re: SLOTH 3000

I hadn't clicked on the design, so I never saw the robot vaccuuming. It's GILARIOUS!

Re: My Heart is Green With Envy

Nice Jaden! I think this is my favorite of yours. I'd certainly like to wear it.

this is so funny! just the other day i was saying to myself that i hoped i could buy yet another pirate shirt. i do love internet memes dearly, but perhaps next time add a ninja--perhaps the fish could be batting around little throwing stars? also, make one of them a cowboy.

Re: And His Head Swelled With Pride

Not my favorite of your designs, but still a good one. You do well with this sketchy style. You should definitely do it more often.

Re: At Least He's not Lazy...

Hey David, I really like it but you should resubmit. I think you need to have the name of the sin in your title, or it'll get rejected. Hurry. Do it real quick like so you don't lose votes.

Re: ENVY or He looks good but it doesn't mean you will

Speaking of peacocks...
Found this photo in my phone and thought someone might get a laugh out of it. They had the peacock where I worked for awhile, then one day he went away. A little while later a peahen showed up randomly, and a while after that these crazy little babies came. They're going to grow up amazing, but they start out completely ridiculous.

Re: Man's Greed

I like simplicity...and birds....Thanks for the votes!!

Re: Man's Greed

what a deep thought. i really like this. you must be an amazingly smart and attractive man.
really though, I think this is very insightful.

Re: Lion's Pride

I love it. The nose makes him even more appealing to me. I will buy it if given the chance.

Seems like today's shirt title could almost fit here, too. "Dandy Lion"

Re: Man's Greed

0h...and this is my first attempt at a design...so comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated

Re: And His Head Swelled With Pride

digging this guy too, boots!! I like his look ;)

This is the back of the shirt, correct? (I don't see a collar). Then the heart placement is in the right spot. I like the idea.

Nah its copy & paste

Thanks Boots!

Sweet shirt, but as far as the shirt comp and design detail. The gifs you are using are way too big, and your hosing site is most likely resizing them and in my experience, with image shack, when they resize and optimize it looks like garbage. What resolution are you setting these at anyway? should be 72. I think there is a limit of 500k on these, so set them as a jpeg or gif of 72 dpi at the correct size, with jpeg I know you can keep these well under 500k, even at maximum image quality.

84 megabyte? Maybe you mean kilobyte? Unless you are talking 600x600 in feet instead of pixels I see no way a GIF could be that large. The artifacts you mention are from Woot! converting the GIF (84.04 KB) into a JPG (36.78 KB). When saving to JPG, the format smooths out the color changes for a more 'seamless' transition; this doesn't work too well when there are large blocks of the same color and fewer colors in the palette to start with (although it usually works quite well with photos).

Why are you using GIF? It is now only a good format for animated images (Use PNG for lossless archival quality still images, and JPG for photorealism at a small file size) and can only handle 256 colors. Don't submit it as a GIF, save it to a JPG yourself (but keep the original file since JPG is lossy and can create artifacts) that way you have control over what the image looks like and can use a lower compression JPG encoding to eliminate visible artifacts. It would be best to 'Save' to the lossless archival format then 'Save as' directly to the JPG format using the program you used to create the piece, but If by some strange reason the graphic program you're using can't save as either of those formats, Irfanview is a nice image viewing and conversion program.

Using your image and Irfanview, I got:
GIF = 83.98 KB (256 colors and slightly better size than your program)
PNG = 63.66 KB (256 colors and much better size)
JPG@70 = 26.72 KB (35,271 colors and lots of artifacts)
JPG@80 = 33.15 KB (32,132 colors and many artifacts)
JPG@90 = 48.10 KB (26,262 colors and some artifacts)
JPG@95 = 68.72 KB (20,557 colors and a few artifacts)
JPG@100 = 139.05 KB (10,312 colors and no visible artifacts)

Having not submitted any work yet, I don't know if Woot! will change a submitted JPG image, but try using the JPG@100 setting and see if the image shows any artifacts when it is posted.

Re: The Greedy Crow

Like the roots. might have been cooler if it was a reflection in a pool of water, but what do i know. Great shirt, GMV.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=24900]Gotta Hunch it's Envy

Before I even clicked on it I knew it was an rglee masterpiece! I love it.

Re: Envy at the School Dance

Nice riff. I used to spin on my head when I was a lad.

Re: Man's Greed

How sad, talking to yourself....
