That one guy looks way too happy to be eaten by a bear....

I'm starting to think a junior high somewhere gave out voting accounts to each and every one of it's students. That's the only way to explain what gets voted on these days.

That's just, like, your opinion, man.

Re: Night Circus

I'm very sad to see this isn't higher up. It's the only one I voted for and the only one I'd wear. Blast it!

Re: rolling trapeze

I absolutely have to get this for my little brother. He's in the circus and he DOES this! Please print it somewhere, even if it doesn't win here!

Re: I wish...

Don't we all have a wish ! Excellent job ! Couldn't have done it any better ! Good Luck and great work !

Re: The Circus is back !!

Re: Flea Circus!

I really like this illustration. The presentation is a little wonkey with the box on the shirt, but the actual artwork is very cool.

Re: Flea Circus

I love this. It's clever, and cute without being sappy saccharine. I'd like to see this design get some more attention.

GMV, of course.

Re: Can't Sleep, Clowns will eat me (resub 2)

I like the design, but I'm picky on size. Looks like the whole shirt is clown (slight exaggeration). Don't mind me though, I have no artistic talents whatsoever.

Re: Oi! Mosh good!! another chibi is going to win the derby

The chibi needs shiny button eyes and a D mouth to go with its stump-limbs. The clown is actually pretty sweet though.

Re: Take This Job

Tad bloody for my tastes, but the bear's expression is indeed priceless.

Re: Annelid Ring Master

Awesome stuff, that bird had it coming to him/her!

Re: Nightmare Circus

Beautiful. This is the winner! :-D

Re: It Has a Funny Aftertaste...

LOL I hope this one places, I would love it for my son! :-)

Re: Basic Training

POOR KITTY! But great looking shirt, keep up the good work

Re: Fight Fire

great illustration, just would never wear that on a shirt

Re: ready for the show

I don't think I would wear this on a shirt, but the design is very pretty!

Hmmm pretty similar to mine.

Cute though.

Your choice of colors really are outstanding!

Re: I wish...

What I like: the colors. What I don't like: Everything else. I thought the shooting star was a dagger coming out of the elephant's nose. The elephant is completely out of proportion. Another unacceptable design that for some strange reason is in the fog. Compare this to Draxx' amazing design, then hang your heads in shame- those of you who voted for this atrocity.

Re: The Main Attraction

I'm really shocked this isn't in the top 3. It has all the ingredients (well drawn, great colors, wearable, funny elements, creative). When I saw the theme I thought we'd all be chasing this design all week. Hopefully it will have a resurgence.

I'm glad you still spent the time to do 2 other shirts this week, although this one is 100x better (IMO).

Re: Basic Training

There is absolutely nothing appealing about this "design". The tiger has NO expression (how can one love an expression that is not there?), the stance is all wrong, the eye is laem in the extreme, and the overall proportions of the tiger is way off.

Fabulous! Yet another cute animal t-shirt!

Out of curiosity, what kind of "science student" are you? I find it hard to believe that you would care about animal anatomy solely as a "science student", unless you are specifically in the field of zoology. :p Because physics, chemistry, astronomy, and the majority of biology (including the ever popular neuroscience, immunology and molecular biology) students certainly don't.

Dude!! Dude!!! Dude!!!!

Lost for words...GMV

Yeah unfortunately I wasn't very familiar on how to present it. When it said "shirt comp" in the submission page and showed a mini example I thought I was doing it right.

After seeing some of the other submissions I realize I should've gone another way.

Woah, small world. Your design is good too, I like the character of the animals. Maybe we have some type of artist telepathy? Look's like you have the votes, mine included.

skaght wrote:Much like most of my entries here, I get all excited - I think I'm gonna excite, entertain and mystify, then BOOM! I fall flat on my face. :P

This is one of the most wearable shirts that fits the theme in the derby. I really enjoy the designs that are coming out, but there aren't many that I would personally wear.

Your description is spot on with hundreds of wooters. Submit a design, get excited about the first few votes, feeling unsure if blog promoting will be effective or annoying, accept that the other designs are 300 votes ahead.

Re: It Has a Funny Aftertaste...

Thanks everyone!

notnorm wrote:really fantastic concept! I think it would be funnier if you could tell how heavy that stuffed animal is.

Good point! Thanks!

gee2thek wrote:mmmm... Just not feeling this one. Missing something that should make it pop out more...

Yeah, I know what you mean...

I love it.

Re: Don't Worry, I Got Ya...

I don't know.Is it better to fall and probably die, or grab on and..well...die....hmm. That is a bad day at work.

Re: Clownin' Around

If this was done early on, you'd have a clear shot at winning. But, beyond woot, this shirt is a winner in my book. Great art. captivating composition. good job!

*****I realize I'm being really nitpicky beyond what the average person cares about...*****

Now THAT was funny!!!
I always love a blinding flash of the obvious

Maybe you could resubmit without the "choking chicken", and it would do better in the voting. I like it; but, I must agree, I can't wear it as is.

Re: Sepia Circus

Re: Nightmare Circus

Great design, reminds me of the art work from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series, and a little like my all time favorite PC game "Kiss Nightmare Child." Keep up the good work.

Re: Clownin' Around

Really nice work, hope your using that talent for more than woot.

Re: Nightmare Circus

This is extremely well done, gorgeous [in a creapy way] to look at, and I do love the Bradbury book.

I'm just not sure if I would actually wear it or not. I want to say yes...but I can't be sure.
