Shirt.Woot

Re: The Awakening

The nipple pinching is what sells this for me.

I LOVE Optimistic Courtship; bought it immediately upon release.

My significant other just ordered me Imposter.

I think this shirt is a huge disappoinment. What is the point of it? Blushing, smiling, and squealing chibi squid bouncing around and doing things that a real squid would never do?

-50 to respect D:

I'll still check out your future shirts because I love you as an artist, but this shirt has no point, in my opinion.

This is what you wrote to me during the double-take derby:


"If I posted nasty, snippy comments on every shirt I believed was doing better or worse than I personally felt it should, I might have as many posts as you do, anyway.

I can only hope that through my pleasant comments, and possibly less pleasant debate with those trying to make trouble, I will someday have as many posts as you."

I guess you did just that here, but yet you don't like others giving their opinions of what they like and dislike. Also, on nramen's Motivation shirt last night, you did the same thing. Practice what you preach please or don't preach.

"now"?

I am confused on how this is in the fog. it absolutely makes no sense? The design that is. Is it cold? Worms are for fresh water? Why would his feet be dangling in the water? I guess you have ALOT of friends to call up and vote for you.

Or I could write legitimate opinions and criticism as opposed to just mindless anger? I could understand your thinking I was a hypocrite if I'd said something like "your art style is horrible, Seki! Your shirts are bad! Leave shirt.woot!"

Logic wins over a lack thereof every time.

And it is at least a little bit strange that you've memorized posts I've made.

sundbe10 and SpastasticNomadic as well, thank you for your kind words. i secretely hoped this one might have a shot at fogging, but alas, you just never know with these derbies.

Re: A Rare Occurrence

Narwhals, octopi, and even the occasional loose seal come out for this rare occurrence. Please enjoy.

Re: Attack of The Sea!!!....and friends.....at night!

Re: The Tables Have Turned

Unfortunately it wasn't until I'd finished the design that I realized that two others had already gone off the same idea. And I have to say Boots executed better than I did.

Just didn't have time to get it finished promptly.

Re: Stalemate

Great job. GMV... that's if I had purchased an item so as to have earned a vote.

I'm a little jealous - we had the same theme - but you definitely executed better. Loved the Dr. Sues style.

I don't wear many white shirts either...but it looked best on the white...sorry. Thanks for the comment!!

Re: Fish Farm

Chicken of the sea, sea cow, sea horse, catfish... As a child, my imagination ran wild with these lazy naming conventions; and today, I realize just how many sea creatures have land animal names attached with "sea" or "fish."

I wasn't really happy with the lack of detail on the barn roof and some parts that I had missed earlier, so I hopefully fixed those small details. I like how I drew the chicken T_T

Re: Over the Sea

GMV for being so unique...good job!

Re: Otters Are Jerks

Not trying to be a tool here but how is he using a snorkel AND an oxygen tank?

Re: what lies beneath

i don't know about this one...the whale bugs me..i don't think it looks right

Thank you! <^_^>

Re: Stalemate

Boots, you have such a querky style. It is instantly recognizable! I really like the girl's face.

Re: The Open Sea

I loves me some negative space

Re: The Open Sea

Looks like you will be getting another $1000 this week. But you really earned it with this one. Excellent work!

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=28551]First Merfamily Moments

That's pretty darn funny! I really wish it was executed cleanly so it wouldn't get rejected.

This idea is gold. If it doesn't win or if it gets rejected, clean it up and sub it elsewhere.

edotson1 wrote:It says no text this week...why are there shirts with text up?

There's no text on this shirt... And rest assured, any shirt with text will be rejected.

re: im on a boat!

I'm on a mother fragging boat!

Re: Mermaid 2

very funny. just wish the shells weren't so bright...

Re: She is Raining

resubmitted this

Re: Jellyfish

very nice! GMV! hope it wins.

Re: Message in a Bottle

I love the mermaid, but I feel like the design is unbalanced. If she was more curled around, maybe with the bottle in a more central placement?

Re: Off and Away . . .

This shirt has won my heart!!! It is not only beautiful and artistic, but it is also quite silly in a fantastic way. I love it.!!!

suburbbum wrote:this is stupid

agreed.

Re: The Awakening

Very interesting. Not sure about the size of it on the shirt, but it is surely original.

Re: Eel Charging Station

Haha! POWER SQUID! Great shirt for woot. Funny stuff and well done, too.

Very cool, this broke bloke wants one.

Hahaha, I don't know you, but I was entirely thinking the same thing. But how dare you call me a bloke ;)

Re: CMYKill (Resub)

Is the shirt black or grey? The image looks black, but the model's make it look grey.

Oh, and I love the simplicity! Maybe not a shirt I would wear, but GMV!

koopadaisy wrote:I love the illustration, but the size and placement doesn't work for me. Nice work, however.

I agree 100%. The drain is too far away, and the eye keeps being torn between the two images rather than taking it in as a connected piece. I love the drawing though, go steampunk!

goldenthorn wrote:Ahh, so your opinions are "legitimate... criticism", but those who express opinions contrary to your general state of approval are just exhibiting "mindless anger?" I... see.

I believe your understanding of "logic" and "lack thereof" could use some further schooling.

Nor is it strange that heartluce has "memorized" posts. When one has engaged in a discussion with a person in the near past, one will usually remember having that discussion. The beauty of the net is such that one can go back and easily find that exact, written discussion in less than 10 seconds. THE INTERNET! IT'S MAGIC.

Edit, add: Also!! Please--your first post, to which heartluce was responding--tell me that was satire. That was satire, right? You were being subtly satirical? Because... just... if that comment was serious... WOW, talk about "logic" and "lack thereof". Do you realize that Optimistic Courtship and Imposter also have absolutely no "point" according to your vague criteria for a "point"? And that they show anthropomorphic animals doing things that those animals never do?! Consistency is usually the main criterion of non-hypocrisy. Sort of the definition of it, actually.

Bravo goldenthorn! Yes, through the magic of the interwebs I actually looked it up. Took less than 10 seconds as you said. Thanks for your words :D. Appreciated.
