Re: Inspired by Oliver Twist

I'm diggin' the hat. Every martini should come this way.

This is great, but to me it feels a little incomplete. I think if you would of added a few more background elements it may have set it off the whole thing better. Just a thought. Otherwise, I think it's great. I laughed, then ducked for fear of lightning bolts.

Re: Inspired by One Fish, Two Fish

Absolutely LOVELY, and inspired by my fav tome of all time. GMV, and hope I can order soon!!!!

Re: Inspired by A Wrinkle in Time

I absolutely love this! It's a fantastic visual. GMV, and I'll order at least two if your design wins. Well done.

I am SO SORRY this was such a late entry because it's FRIGGIN HILLARIOUS! Woot might not print this, but I hope you can get it printed somewhere.
Awesome.

Re: Inspired By The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss

Loving it... one up from me!

I see. I think the brush effect might have been better received had it been more relevant to the design rather than as just an added effect. Your illustrations have a strong enough impact and, at least for me, the brush strokes clash with the cleanness of the vector-look. Not saying I wouldn't use them in the future, but maybe you should break 'em out for a more fitting design instead.

Re: Inspired by: Paradise Lost

This T-shirt is hilarious. It must win!

Re: Inspired by Catcher in the Rye

sounds awesome to me!

Very cute!

I like it diagonally, myself. Good work!

Re: Inspired by: Paradise Lost

Numbers are text? Geez. These people are sticklers.

Thanks for the critique. While I wouldn't say that the brushstrokes were an added effect--they were part of the plan for the shirt since the beginning--they were definitely a design decision rather than a conceptual one.

i figured it wasn't. just defending clip art.

Re: Inspired by: Paradise Lost

Ya know....I realize I already praised this but their expressions are what sells it. He is that stereotypical "male" figure - distraught, but too proud to admit he's lost. He's sure he knows exactly where they are, he just needs more time with the map. And the girlfriend has that nagging but sincere look. I think if you would have zoomed in on some detail in the comp and tidied it up a bit, this could have had a real shot. Oh, and maybe if you submitted it a little earlier.

Re: Inspired by: Paradise Lost

This is hilarious. xD I love the concept.

Re: Inspired by Round the Moon

this needs to get back up in the fog i want it badly

Re: Inspired by: Paradise Lost

What an awful pun... but it's too funny not to vote for.

Re: Inspired by: Paradise Lost

Thanks for the laugh...and I mean that in the best way. This is hilarious. I love the way she's clutching her purse.

For some reason I keep seeing the Thing that Scoots:

Re: inspired by August Derleth's The Mask of Cthulhu

Before you attack, I made this purely for my own amusement. Thought it would be fun to do a more dark/surreal design to go in with all of these shiny happy tshirts. I don't really expect you like it or vote it, but if you do, kudos to you.

Re: Inspired By: Flowers in the Attic

GREAT book. not so great placement

I'm not a huge fan of the shirt. But the snake cracks me up too. I think it's the fact that the snake kind of resembles a pile of poop.....or it could just be me.

Thanks much for the praise. First entry ever. Was planning on starting next week after discovering shirt.woot during the wootoff, but i loved the topic. glad some of you are enjoying it. :D

Lemme be wooterish by praising yours and showing great disdain for all the other entries...

Your art is like Miss Universe, and most everyone else's is like the buck toothed, dry cracked ratty hair county beauty contestant with nasty moles and pimples, so I understand how all the other wooters who birthed their snaggled toothed contest entries would be vehemently against a true beauty like your art bustin up their party. They dont like your kind around here girl...

Anyways Im being stupid. Word to your mother.

HEY!

No, wait, you're right.

Zenne, as always, you get my vote.

this really is cute.

Re: Inspired by The BFG (Big Friendly Giant)

Been checking this every once in awhile in hopes of seeing is make a valiant climb to the fog, but to no avail. It is slowly rising in the ranks and I'm still hoping that this underdog will make it to printing...

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=25201]

This is actually kinda cool dude...except the cannon looks like $hit

Re: Inspired By The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe

I dig the style and color choices...just not a fan of the book. I wouldn't wear a shirt around that represented something I don't actually have an appreciation for. Nice job though and congrats on all the votes

Re: Inspired by: Paradise Lost

This is HILARIOUS!! And if this is your first entry, I can't wait to see what else you come up with in future weeks! I voted, and would buy, for sure, because this is a great pun, and one in which a casual observer would "get" as well.

Good luck!!!

[quote]Re: Inspired by The Metamorphosis


I love the shirt. I wish you entered it earlier so it would have a better shot.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=25417]Inspired by

This is great!! Too bad you couldn't also add some sort of time piece PAST the 1970s kitchen cat clock....
But still, really great, and a "buyer" for sure

LOTS of good entries this week!!

Re: A moral alphabet

Well, let's see how quick this one gets rejected. It uses text and it's not on a shirt template.

Re: Inspired by: Paradise Lost

Oh man...I dealt dice (only tourists call it "craps") for several years at Caesars Tahoe...I want this for all my buddies still toiling in the pits.

*giggles*, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I can't wait to see how this plays out and what the next prompt is.
