Wait... there are special pencils for lefties and righties? That explains all the smudging whenever I write...

what's not to love this shirt features 2 of my favorite things.... Vegetarian food and a Dragon...what would make it prefect would be a kitty curled up some where!! hahaha I do love this design and am giving it a vote

a nice simple design...very nice I'd buy it so guess I'll vote for this one too!

hahahahahahahahhahahahahahhah
funny great re-invent of a book title

And I don't think he's particular fond of dsladek either.

Hi eHalcyon,
Wasn't mentioning it to win points with him, just a bit of catharsis. Boy that needed a snip badly, it felt like I was writing a book. Which reminds me: Good luck, Boots.

I'd AGREE!

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=25382]My Turn! - Inspired By

This is my third Derby entry here at shirt.woot.

All the little fasteners are waiting their turn. And finally, the little screw gets to go for a ride.

that's the truth it's hard to say which one I like the best..this one is a neat design, also love Phantom Tollbooth, "Target Audience" inspired by "For Dummies" books, and the simple yet clever design of How to draw animals...plus lots of other...can't say I like the one fish two fish...
dragon shirt are cool..fish shirt...not so cool

any way great shirt!

I adore this.
The cycle of drawing is a really cool touch.
The somewhat cliche irony of a rabbit reproducing is not lost either :]

I'm sad and once again disheartened to see people vote carp like this into the fog when amazing artistry (like Draxxx's design) slips down the list.....shameful.

I think it's cute but there several other shirts that are better

Re: Inspired by The Giver

Very nice design. I would definitely pick this up if I had the chance. +

peppersagooddog wrote:the background element you added does make it much more interesting i think, nice placement as well.

Agreed. I think I'd have made a hexagonal instead of square arrangement of circles, to echo the inner structure of each one, but it's quite lovely as is.

JenDupre wrote:Very pretty, but I would have 2 purple and 2 pink flowers. There were Christopher, Cathy, Cory and Carrie. And I think it's a printed too low on the shirt. When it's tucked in, you miss most of it.

Seconded on both counts, though the fact that one small flower is wilting so makes up for the color issue. Maybe it's just the POV flower that's pink?

I like the design and composition a lot. Only trouble is, I think I'd be too creeped out by it to actually buy and wear it.

SydneyB wrote:Hmm, Frodo looks like he is being crucified....

BTW, Lord of the Rings is not a book title. It is the name of the Trilogy.
1. The Fellowship of the Ring
2. The Two Towers
3. The Return of the King.

Actually, it's far more a single book than any other trilogy of my acquaintance. Tolkien wanted it as one book, but it was just too big, so the original publisher split it up. It's not as if there are proper beginnings and endings at the internal breaks.

In another sense, it's six internal 'books', which are generally printed two per book-shaped-object, but I have a seven-volume set (the last is the appendices...)

[Also, crucified? Totally appropriate for a Christ figure....]

Re: Inspired by How to Draw 101 Animals

I have a feeling this will fog. Artists everywhere will want to wear this to parties as a perfect conversation starter.

Re: Inspired by the Hitchhikers Guide series

YES!!!

Re: Inspired by How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci

Immediately after I submitted my first version, I thought this one would look better. My other idea just didn't come across the way I wanted. The first version really needs text to work, I think...

Agree, this version is better, coming out of his head.

voted for!

Re: Inspired by Herb, the Vegetarian Dragon

Why another version of this? I don't notice a difference, but I voted for them both, all the same

Re: Inspired by The Giver

wow, another great design, Boots!

Looks like they came from the Island of Misfit Toys....

Re: Inspired by Harold and the Purple Crayon

This is awesome - one of my favourite books as well (still is)! I'd buy it even though I stay far away from white shirts - it's perfect.

Re: Inspired by How to Think Like Leo

Don't think I'm a big fan of the box, but other than that I love it. Great idea and great illustration(s).

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=25380]Inspired by

Great illustration. I love the brown.

Re: Inspired by Herb, the Vegetarian Dragon

Got my vote too. It's a really cute idea and you did it so well!

Re: Inspired by: Oh, the places you'll go!

I couldn't tell how good this was from the detail image! I almost didn't click, but I'm glad that I did. The sticker with the Seuss hat is a really nice touch.

dances wrote:Full title is Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah. I really like the way this turned out except for the cream. Oh well, I hope you enjoy.

I think this works exceptionally well on the cream.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=25279]

I love the irony. Great shirt.

I have to vote for it just because I love the book series so much.
The shirt is pretty nice as well.

Re: Inspired by Different Seasons

i haven't read this book, but i like your shirt design. very nice colors and interesting detail! i would wear it

No, but they do dream of unicorns.

Thanks for the votes everyone. For those of you not yet convinced you like it...you do.

Fetusy! I like it.

Re: Inspired by PUCKER

Can't you come up with anything else? You do the same thing every week! And no one likes it. Try something different!

Re: Inspired By Moby beautiful tulip

this appears to be a blue whale, while moby was a sperm whale... so people may not get the title you are alluding too.

DeadFrog wrote:Thanks for the votes everyone. For those of you not yet convinced you like it...you do.

I don't. As byrbwr said, it's boring and unoriginal. Pointless paint effects won't make me vote for it unlike 90% of the rest of voters, nor do I want to explain to people why I'm wearing a lion, witch, and wardrobe on my chest. Because it's like the title of the book, get it?!?!

BootsBoots wrote:Great illustration. I love the brown.

Thanks BootsBoots. This one was fun, I'm ticked I didn't get it in sooner, but that's the way it goes...

Re: Inspired by How to Draw 101 Animals

I don't get it...nothing really seems "re-interpreted" to me about this, and using a drawing book as your illustration frankly comes off as a little...lazy.

The pencil looks like you pulled it off of Vectorstock or one of those other royalty-free vector illustration sites. If its not, pretty good attention to detail but I think it might have been better spent coming up with a more creative execution or idea.

BootsBoots wrote:I couldn't tell how good this was from the detail image! I almost didn't click, but I'm glad that I did. The sticker with the Seuss hat is a really nice touch.

Well, I'm glad you did click. I was trying to think of what to put for the detail and decided on the balloon. Also, I put the Seuss hat likeness there so that people would get it quicker that the image is a depiction of something Seuss. Thanks for the comments, but with only 4 votes, I think you're probably right about the detail pic.

Re: Inspired by Eclipse

I like the design........but Twilight has got to of been one of the worst books I've ever been so unfortunate to read in my whole life!
Wish this amazing design could of been based on something equally so

Re: Inspired by: Oh, the places you'll go!

Here's a larger pic if anyone is interested.
