Re: They got loose...

Love it, GMV, even if the box is kinda...wonky.

Finally, feedback! I've been wondering what people think of this juggling design. Thanks

ramyb wrote:I love how your opinions change from week to week, because we do the same work all of a sudden again, but last week I was degas by comparison. But that aside, your question is very cleverly crafted, building in the assumption that you want so badly for everyone to make, which is that I'm not an artist and that I'm only in it for the money, which is obviously not the case. If that were true, why would I give two seconds of thought to comments asking for change? I feel that my entry last week is evidence that I care about defending myself as an artist, but more importantly, it may surprise you to know that I spent several hours longer on my entry this week than I did last. Just because it's not in a style that you like, doesn't mean it didn't take time. You can hate on it as much as you want, but I most certainly defend my execution, and also believe that I spent plenty longer on it than I "could have."

Umm... a good example of you not caring about the quality of your work would be how you often submit 2+ quickies to the same derby instead of refining one. If you have time to submit 3 designs then we shouldn't find anything wrong with the first.

And you and sek have the EXACT same style. Although I will give sek credit that they sometimes pull much more interesting compositions (instead of the rectangle at the top of the shirt).

Thank you Adder for actually calling them out on this.

Which really isn't saying very much.

Re: GRILLED PORK CHOP

LOL

Oi! Mosh good! I HAVE TO HAVE THIS!!!

Please win or send it somewhere else.
I hate how randoms don't have a chance versus the known people like sekiyoku/ramyb/boots/tgentry/infinityloop/ the famous people. =(

That's not to say that there's NOTHING else out there similar to this, alas, there's little room to be unique anymore So I wouldn't be surprised if there were other things similar out there, but please don't assume I deliberately copied something, cause then I'd be bummed.

I'd be curious to see this other drawing as well. I think http://www.shirtderbystats.com/archive.asp is what you're looking for if you want to wade through it all, lotsa entries!

I was sad this didn't print, as I will be when yours don't print this derby....sigh.

I'm glad to hear that the geek reference wasn't totally lost. Thanks!

Travis, excellent stuff. I love how you used "cool" colors for hot fire

Re: The OTHER side of fire breathing!?

I like it. laem subject that Woot picked anyway!

Re: Take This Job

I like it a lot...... GMV!!!

Re: I wish...

Love the design... must get for gf if this wins

Re: Fight Fire

oh. wow. that is absolutely incredible!! I'm not a fan of the circus theme, but this is the only shirt out of all of them that I would actually wear. Good job!!

Ah that must be the one the other folks were referring to. Didn't see it since i didn't participate in that week. Eh well. I guess they are kinda close. Not the first time either one of us sketched something like this i suppose. Do what you will woot, (not like this design is going to be in danger of 1-3rd)

Re: Cotton Candy

im scared those cotton candies might eat me instead!

Re: Circus of Fire (RESUB)

This looks really cool. Voted.

Doubt it. Unless, god forbid, there's an all-pucker derby one of these days.

Wonderbunny wrote:I own more cranberry colored shirts then any other color x2.

Really?? - I think that falls under the heading of more information than I need to know! lol - just kidding. Personally, I find the design unique and certainly fascinating; but the color is still a problem for me. I question its wearability. I didn't have the chance to see it on the white, I wonder how it looked?

I concede that I may be in the minority on this one. It's obvious that many people are in love with it on cranberry and the design is so strong that it has a clear chance of winning. Early congratulations to the artist for the powerful artwork and perhaps the winning design!!

Yea they are pretty hungry in pink.... hee hee get it?!? OK I am a nerd. Whatever. I would have totally worn this when I was growing up, kinda 80's childhood... oops I think I just showed my aged.

Re: The last show

Great stuff! I love the colors and the character design. First vote for you! ;)

Re: Free at Last!!!

I must say the green and yellow fur is rather attractive... I also have the sudden urge to evilly pop the balloons.

Detail shots:




Last minute entry. Mostly just because I've not entered in forever. Also wanted to enter something 'not cute'. So, I hope I've accomplished that at least..

I know the placement is kind of weird. Not sure how else I could've done it, so if anyone has any critiques please feel free to hand them out.

Lastly, circuses that make animals perform are ones that need to be SHUT DOWN. And since I haven't seen too many 'against the circus' entries, I made my own.

sonotthereason wrote:It's so adorable! Just wish it wasn't on yellow...sigh

I totally agree! I'd probably buy it anyway, though.

Re: Flea Circus

thanks folks!

Re: The Greatest Show on Earth!

This is so energetic! Everything you do has such detail. It's a pleasure to look at each and every object/action you put into your work.

The horrors

Re: Nightmare Circus

Abso-cottonpickkin-lutely baddass!

Re: Basic Training

Love the concept, but I agree that the anatomy/stance is pretty wonky. The tiger totally has the frame of a large breed puppy (lanky forelegs and paws that need to be grown into). I could also do without the blank eyes, but I like the mouth.

Re: She Breathes Fire

The halftones look great! Sweet color!!

Indeed. (I'm not necessarily for PETA, as I don't believe in throwing paint buckets on random fur-wearers or going to any other ridiculous extremes in order to prove a point...but I am most certainly for animals.)

@ thembfarm - Wow, that's kind of crazy (no offense). I took Molecular Bio, Biochem, and Immunology classes at the grad school level, but I don't think I ever worshipped E. coli. :p

Re: The Popcorn Juggler

Thanks for all the comments you guys !

I'm sorry to those who don't like it on yellow. I don't really wear yellow myself but I thought it fit well with the design. Not really sure why.

Re: I stepped in an unfashionable color

Brilliant! I really love it...I dunno where I would wear it but I love it. GMV.

Re: The last show

I love the elegance and tone of this design. I'm glad you included the detail shots. The emotion on the ringmaster's face is worth a closer look!
This is easily one of my favorites this derby.

Re: I wish...

I wish... this shirt didn't remind me of a crappy Disney wanna-be. bleh
