And yet "how to draw animals" is totally lazy

Nice.

Re: Inspired by Round the Moon

It's upsetting this isn't in the fog anymore - I do feel that it is better than some of the current entries above it. Vote people!

I'm so that this isn't in the fog.

Re: Insp: The Water Horse

I luv this Design-I'd wear it any & everywhere.

Great book, great shirt. Well done.

This one goes out to BOOTS and how much carp I gave him for his pirate shirt last week. I couldn't help but do pirates and ninjas for this style of book. I've always loved "Choose your own Adventure" Books and if you haven't ever read one... try it out. It takes no more than an hour I'd guess.

There is no text in the book... just blobs. 2 colors (white and black) on asphalt.

Re: inspired by a farewell to arms

Just a friendly tip: You are limited to choosing one woot shirt color for the background/shirt color. But the six other colors can be any of the Solid Coated Pantone colors. Something like 1300 of them can be selected from color set menus in Corel Painter. Probably in photoshop too. Not sure where else you might find them. If the colors you use are not the solid coated pantones, there may be a slight color shift when Woot uses the closest match to print with.

Re: Inspired by Soul Music ( Discworld)

Thanks for the votes people!! Oh and does anyone know why when i change the files to jpg the colours go dull ? any help is appreciated.

Oh yeah, Votes are too.

Re: Inspired By The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe

Simple yet awesome. GMV!!

Not Bad.

Re: Inspired by: Where the Sidewalk Ends [resub]

I really like this one. A bit more colour would have been nice, but i really like this anyway. GMV!!

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=25264]Inspired By

Hmm. Its a good idea, but it could do with some more colour and maybe not using stick drawings. But its still a nice attempt.

Re: inspired by War of the Worlds

Nice idea. My only major problem is that huge belt of brown along the shirt. But its a good idea.

Re: Inspired by The Metamorphosis

very pretty...also, my fav. short story of all time

eHalcyon wrote:Hmm... not sure I'd call it a kid's book. I read it when I was very young, but the thematic content of the book is actually fairly complex. Though it may not have been an "advanced" book in terms of the language, I think it would work well for an advanced English class in terms of theme, plot, etc.

exactly. a quick read because of the language but analysis and discussion of ideas could be well suited for an older audience. also, good for comparison with similar genre, imo. think about the levels of Animal Farm, for example.

morbidly adorable! always love your entries : )

Re: Inspired by How to Draw 101 Animals

In my opinion, this is one of the best designs in the derby and definitely the best in the fog. I'm really disappointed that the trolls have decided to go after tgentry since I think he's one of the most talented designers currently participating (and he made my favorite shirt of all time, Suburban Blitzkrieg). I've been really disappointed in the quality of a lot of derby entries lately, but tgentry consistently has intelligent, well-drawn designs. So please keep up the good work and give me something to vote for.

I think it's pretty clear that wils9745 is a troll, and interacting with him/her is only going to cause aggravation for the other person and amusement for wils9745.

Re: Inspired By Gravity's Rainbow.

sweet and simple : )

Re: Inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar

absolutely wonderful illustration : )

This tshirt quite creeps me out. :p I wonder if anyone else feels the same way.

poinpyu wrote:I really like this shirt but I'm really picky when it comes to a shirt and the drawing style if it relates to anime style because I'm really big fan of anime things. however, the thing that bugs me about this is the face and the dogs and the snake makes it kind of look amateurish.
The thing about anime, it's a spicy topic when it comes down to style/detail and etc. And I think you need to learn the style and concept more before you actually try going for a shirt.
But then again, this is woot, they don't have a lot of stylistic/complicated/detailed shirts.
This is still good though,so you got my vote! llo.

Wowza!!! Did you think you were on a Van Gogh site? The artwork is awesome. Flowing and very eye catching. Complain about the countless ninjas,trees with moon,skyline and koi fish if you need something to critique.
Trust me, many people who do have taste will buy this shirt and make it a success. I for one!!!! She is extremely talented. Perhaps you have some jealousy going on here. Food for thought ;)

magick70 wrote:I have a question.. How do I go about turning in a shirt? I turned this one (Ahabs capture- inspired by Moby beautiful tulip) in without a shirt template straight to woots E-mail addy because for some reason I can't seem to put my design on the "shirt template." My question is how do I go about downloading my picture to the template? Thay give 3 different avenues to which I can but when I submit it, it tells me that it needs to be in a gif , jpes or png format. I converted it to a jpeg format but now the error mesg reads that I need to do it in a pdf style. Again, I tried to do that but no go! What steps or applications do I need to do to submit my work the proper way? I use Macromedia Fireworks to draw but I'm not sure if that works. I'm not even sure if the way I did it works. I see it's on the page but I'm not sure if that's the "second" best way to go. A little advise and help from anyone please!!
With respect,
Michael

Ok.
1.You can find and download a shirt template from this place :http://www.mediafire.com/?3yd332u29xi

2. Im not sure about macromedia Fireworks either, but i know that you can either use Vector or Raster Programs to create drawings.
I recommend using GIMP (Raster Program )is a free downloadable software which allows image retouching and creation among other things. I use it all the time and it can be found here:
http://www. gimp.org/
or if you prefer Vector than you can use Inkscape, another free software program which is much like Adobe Illustrator and can be downloaded from here: www.inkscape.org/
I recommend trying both out to see which one is best.

3. I take it when you say 3 avenues to submit you mean the three fields that say 'Design Detail', Shirt comp and print ready file?? Well i've done a big guide to gimp for those who want to use it so head on over to there.

Hopefully that should sort out the problems.

i'll definitely vote for this.

Thanks Borkerson. Much appreciated. Perhaps yours will attract more votes than mine.

thanks so much.

Awesome design, you would have had me if this wasn't on white...

Re: Inspired by Old Yeller

I love this shirt. The reinterpretation is great and still really clear on the title. I also like that it still has the sort of innocent feel of the book/movie. Hope I get to buy it soon!!!

Ok here is the guide i was on about:

Thanks, Adder and marzipan. Looks like humor is out this week, and furry little animals are in. Damnit, why didn't I get the memo?

Thanks a lot for the compliments. :D I'm really glad you like the shirt.

I've learned quite some time ago that not everyone who offers criticism/critique is jealous though. xD I usually just take things at face value.

I do apologize to you.But to the person with the critique well there is one thing to offer advise yet another to be down right insulting. I would be willing and wanting to finance artists like yourself for a project I am about to embark on. The amateurish comment
showed their lack of expertise as to what is art. People like myself,take notice to sites like these to find and finance people like yourself...and of course others with talents be them God given or through education. It was more than a compliment. I have been watching a few artists ,yes artists ..very closely. I see quite a but to invest in. Do keep up the fine work.

Re: Inspired by: To kill a Mockingbird

Lets see....
Bird... Check
Branch... Check
Splotchy implied violence.. Check
Asphalt shirt...Meh..... But Black works too...

It's a must-have for my pottery class. VOTE-VOTE-VOTE!!!

wils9745 wrote:My point still stands. In this design the artist is being lazy. Is that too "sub-human" for your understanding? Thanks for joining the discussion after it's been settled there, cheif [sic].

Your point stands? Your point doesn't even reach paraplegic status. And for God's sakes, man, using mandatory quotation marks in every post you write doesn't make you funny. You use air quotes in real life, don't you?

So, to sum up: this design is lazy, the designer isn't lazy, in this design the designer is being lazy. You're all over the place. Your words are up here for everyone to read, so I'll let them make up their own minds, buddy (I can rip off Dane Cook, too).

Re: Inspired by House of Leaves

My favorite book of all time.
How do I vote for it? I'm new... :D

I like the concept and the orange is done really well, I just wish the smoke was less, or lighter as it steals visual focus from the orange and machinery.

YES. more chronicles of narnia, please.
