I too love your style you are very talented, and I hope that in some way you are using your talent to earn a few $$$. KEEP those beautiful works of art coming!

Maybe my lack of knowledge of the book is a downfall here.

If you get a chance, read the book. You will understand what this image really means. Stellardig

Re: Inspired by The Grapes of Wrath

It;s great - I love it!!! What about a lighter background? Say sky blue or even white?

Thank you Boots Boots! I'm glad you like it. I love your designs as well. Keep up the Great work and Thank you again. Stellardig

If you print your art somewhere else (please!), let us know!!!

Re: Inspired by Soul Music ( Discworld)

Love the colors, but gets my vote purely for being a discworld book. What makes this particularly awesome is that it looks like a really frickin cool shirt even without knowing anything about the derby or derby theme or woot.

It's a woot shirt from Nov 20 2007.

Re: Inspired by Alice In Wonderland

You must have been high when you made this shirt, but it is sweet

Re: Inspired by Alice In Wonderland

Pretty frakking sweet, I hope this gets made

The Narnia books pioneered an entire genre where kids travel through some object or place (wardrobe, treehouse, dragonscale, enchanted cave, medicine cabinet, head trauma) to a magical land where they learn life lessons and become more grown up without losing their special belief in magic. While C.S.Lewis may have created the worst genre ever, you have to respect the books.

It may be the 2am talking, but I found that ridiculously hilarious. XD

Re: Inspired by The Scarlet Letter

I just realized that there aren't any gradients on this. You just spaced out the lines wider at the top. Wow.

You're a genius. Pure. Genius.

Wow, such hurtful language and I don't even know you. Don't be all upset because Obama is in office and not another stinkin Republican. AND you probably voted for Bush both terms, which doesn't say a whole lot about your character. But lets not get too political. It's just a joke, a bit of humor. Lighten up ol' chap! (That would be your que to remove your head out of your arse.) I don't go around bashin other people's artwork and humor despite my own ideals. Should try and work on those people skills, maybe turn the computer off for a bit and get some fresh air for once.

Re: Inspired by Alice In Wonderland

This is a cool design! However, woot only prints 6 solid colors, and I count at least 10 here. Also, the idea for this derby is to re-interpret the "Title". Using content from the book that is not a part of the title, is also grounds for rejection.

I'm not trying to be mean. Hopefully this comes across as helpful so you'll be sure to be safe from rejection on your next entry.

This is Funny!

A very thoughtful shirt. Very well done.

Perhaps skeptical or questioning.

Re: Inspired by How to Draw 101 Animals

Regardless of any factual debate about the flaws or merits of a design, some people just don't like the design. Getting into a back-and-forth debate with them about why it is good or bad is not going to change their opinion.

I respect the artist's skills and integrity and I probably would have also responded to any criticism, particularly if it was unwarranted. But I think after one or two posts I would have let it go. Ultimately, the work speaks for itself; it gets votes or not and gets printed or not.

BTW, I think it's a great shirt.

In Cold Blood was written by Truman Capote. There is a movie about it with Phillip Seymore Hoffman as the author, its a great movie

Re: Inspired by the Call of the Wild

Beautiful design. I love the woman, she is quite striking--breath taking even. I also love the elvish glyphs, though apparently there have been mixed reviews about this. It's not wholly in theme with the movie, but it appeals to me and that's what ultimately makes me buy shirts!

I love flowing things, so I don't care if I have 20 shirts with some kind of flowing thing into another. It's a style pure and simple and there are tons of us out here who like it.

I do wonder how the colors are going to show up on the asphalt shirt, but hey I like ghost flames on cars too, so subtle works for me. I hope it wins so I can see for myself how it all works out!

Again, beautful. I'll be buying at least two if it makes it to the top!

Not my style of shirt, but this would sooo rock as a full size poster!! GMV anyway though, because my daughter would love it! IMO the artwork is nothing short of amazing! Great work!

I had forgotten about this book somehow. Great idea!

The tally of what's wrong with this entry so far looks like this:
1. No text allowed.
2. Not on a shirt comp.
3. Copied and pasted clipart.
4. Photo (woot does not print photos).

Sorry dude. Wooters are a cruel mistress, sometimes, but the rules are stated (somewhat) clearly.

Re: Inspired by oby beautiful tulip

Interesting that this isn't rejected yet, between the celeb faces and the gradients...

Re: Inspired by Old Yeller

Thank you all for your nice comments!

Re: Inspired by: Slaughterhouse-Five

Gotta love the Tralfamadorians.

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

Love it!! GMV!!

Wait, so the dog has assburgers? is that why he's got his face all clinched up?

Re: Inspired by Under the Volcano

Oh how did I miss this one?? I love it. When I was little we would use the couch cushions as tiny little islands or stepping stones to move around the room. I would by 2 for my kids.

No, the dog does not have Aspergers. I am just a bad artist.
Seriously, I hope no one that you care about has Autism.

Re: Based on Fast Food Nation

I like the fellow on the shirt. However,for some reason, I don't
Find him all that fat.

Why can't I vote on this shirt? It's good and I want to vote for it!

Thank you so much. :D

I'm more used to drawing poster-type things, still trying to make the transition. xD

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

I second that e-motion.

this shirt is so cool! i really hope it makes top three

I like that you called him a fellow. And he's not fat, he's portly.

Re: Inspired By: InkHeart

Not Bad. I kinda like it. GMV
