Shirt.Woot

Re: They were delicious

Nicely done. I'm surprised there aren't more seamonsters in this derby.

re: the awakening

this shirt is definitely awesome but i the only one who thinks it would be even cooler if it was some big sea monster (i was thinkin cthulu) instead of a robot? oh well, like i said awesome design anyway, hope it gets printed!

Re: The Mythical Tree Jellyfish

Is it a jellyfish? Is it a tree? Maybe it's neither and you've been smoking far too much...

I really wanted the water to look murky in a sort of psychedelic way. How did that turn out?

Re: sea lion king

Really nice sketchy style. I like.

Re: Hungry? Feel lucky, Punk?

I love the orange against the green. And I'm very pro fish with guns too. It's a good design.

Re: Uh Houston....

Where did you get this idea? Do you have any shame in copying my idea?

Re: Squid yoyo

ahuhu i wish this were getting more votes

Re: Squiddies!

I like the Squiddies... When I first saw it, I thought Seki was probably on crack. Cute squids: one loves his boatie, one poops, one is sleeping. I mean, Ever just think about breadsticks?, right? So, I like it. I think I would have bought it when it was on the other colored shirt, though. You could see the poop better on that one (I mean "ink!")

Re: Uh Houston....

Great design, Toe. And I'm glad you haven't gone anywhere

Is this on Navy?

My monitor doesn't really distinguish between Navy and Black....

Rock on with another vote from me!

Re: The Misfit Mermaid

i'm pretty sure i saw this on family guy a couple nights ago

Re: Steampunk Discovery

You know, I think this derby is creating more great pieces of artwork than most (especially the last), but still in every case there is only 1 that I can see myself wearing. GMV

As hopeful as I am that this will win, it looks like it might not make it to the fog. If not, pleeeease print this through another site!

I am flattered that my idea has been copied for use in this same derby.

Yea, it's a shame too. I have a feeling this could have made the fog, or at least top 7. Please resubmit? Maybe you could think of another way to put stamps on it that are distinct of countries, rather than text? Maybe country flags or symbols, like the eiffel tower for instance... a big apple (for NY), some countries' flags.


Just helping, cause I'd really like to see this one continue.

Designs with large circles over the chest, or with text that's going to curve around them is awkward. A design that just has a picture over one side is fine.

I believe when Iceman made his comment he was referring to DeadFrog's comment about the size of the design:

Thank you, Thorbie.
I'm not expecting it to be a runaway success, It was just an idea I had that I felt the need to execute. Drakxxx's amazing work this week having half frighted me into doing nothing that might ever possibly compete with it.

Speaking of which, I wonder where it is.
I'll have to go look for it.

nontypicalmale wrote:Hey boots, I understand if you ignore this, because frankly... you do just fine and your stuff looks great! there's just a few little things i'm kinda bothered by here. first, the shadow on the big fish kind of throws me off. and also, it feels like the ripples are placed REALLY weirdly. like, the view lends itself to be a sort of "cross-section" which makes the surface ripples appear halfway down into the water. I understand that its a weird perspective, but i feel like there isn't much distinction between water, ice, and air. each individual element looks great however. =]

Again, not looking to be uppity because i could never do this, just offering a humble voters opinion.

Ahh... I see what you mean. I didn't intend them to be surface ripples. It's still a sideview, but they do look like they could almost be surface ripples but the perspective is wrong. I didn't notice that. And I would never ignore a critique. I appreciate them.

And thanks once again for the comments everyone.

Pssst... don't ever watch any David Lynch films. I don't think you'd like them too much.

Re: Sea Ya Later

Great style.

Re: Whales like to mess with subs

This made me laugh. I just wish the whale looked like it was snickering at it's own cleverness a little more than it does. It took me a moment or two to see that was what it was doing.

Re: Under The Sea

I think this is great, D! Seriously, the colors are great and it's a creative idea.

Yup. The episode in which Stewie kills Lois. It was a two part episode. Can't quite remember whether it was the first or second part.

Edit: Although, that was a merman.

Re: Jellyfish

Wow, I am absolutely floored to be over 100 votes so early in the week! Keep the votes coming! I'd love to see my jellyfish make it to the fog! Thanks for everyone's support.

Re: Squid yoyo

I love the idea, but your squid seems very... anorexic

Re: The Open Sea

This is great!

Re: Right Angles

Oh. Wow!

Re: An Island Unto Herself Redux

This is absolutely beautiful. I grew up near the beach and this expresses my desire to be back there more than anything I've ever seen. Gorgeous, brilliant piece of work. Thank you!

Re: Deep Sea Koi Attack

rocketjohn wrote:This is lovely - definitely GMV

Seconded.


Edit:
BTW, I would love to get my hands on your Fireflies t-shirt. Do you have it for sale anywhere?

I too will add that this is beautiful. Very impressive.

Re: Sea Ya Later

Great drawing, terrific decision to use those color splashes for the background. You do consistently great and recognizable work.

That would be REALLY clever

Re: Persona Porthole of Paradise

I like the porthole as a framing element. Very nice!

Re: Jellyfish

You have my vote for the most amusing jellyfish I have ever seen.

Re: Stalemate

Now this is some seriously well-done whimsy.

Re: Jellyfish

I like it! I'd buy it too!

Word on the resub. The stamps could just use symbols of the various countries, like the sphinx for Egypt, etc.

Terrific story here that can be deciphered initially in just a couple of seconds.

Re: An Island Unto Herself Redux

Too good. The only one that is a must buy in this derby!

Win, Win, Win!

Re: Everyone Knew When He Was In the Mood for Dance

Great idea! Love it!

Re: They were delicious

This is great! GMV! My kids would love one each.
