Shirt.Woot

I think you've tapped into why the vitriol spills over so frequently to sekiyoku and ramyb. The cutesy animals are pretty much all the same, but it seems to be what wooters say they want. Personally, I find most of them too childish and really repetitive, but I don't think I'm the target audience. Although, as a developmental neurobiologist, and former Genesis owner, I did have to buy the Shh shirt.

I appreciate the talent that it took to figure out the shading/texturing and half-tone techniqes to make these interesting shirts while being constrained to a six color scheme, I sure as hell haven't figured that out yet.

Anyways, you're right. If the people like chocolate ice cream, forget the stracciatella, just give them what sells.

While a lot of them really lack solid artist mastership, I do at least see creativity and a level of risk and trying something different. They have the ideas but not the professional skills. I honestly thought you were the same person that just took 3rd with Basic Training. Same color shirt, MORE animals, SAME eyes, same backlighting. Its sad because people seem to be eating it up over and over. And as business goes, as long as they demand, you supply. Maybe thats why this style is being over done.

But seriously, and this isn't just you but this sparked it but people should look at the latest winners and say "I'm going to do something different". I know it wasn't absolute that Basic Training won until today but seriously. This looks like the sequel. Like the tiger's tail lit the circus ablaze and the fire spread into the local zoo where all the animals are now running for their lives. And you know, maybe thats a good thing Maybe a whole group of friends can have a different shirt from the series and tell a story to those they pass as they walk side by side. I don't know that anyone care or agrees but thats my stand. I think the design is great as an original but its like a summer of nothing but slasher films or having the same meal 60 days in a row. Its just too much.

See a sai? Most hopefully will get this quickly. A sai is the weapon you see on the shirt. The small turtle is seeing the sai. Ok, do you CSI now?

This is a re-sub, has cleaner lines and is less copyright-infringey.

I'm keeping it simple with two colors. I love the turtles and CSI. I entered another "meh" version of this take in the derby for more hardcore turtle fans. It is really obscure for those who haven't watched it in years.

Is it a play on the pronunciation? "See a Sai"?

Cute!

Re: Inspired by The Amazing Race

This is a nice concept and placement, however, I think it would be much more appealing if not done in the same tired style. The colors work well though, easy on the eyes.

If I'm wearing any of the jeans or shorts I currently own, I have to tuck in my T-shirts, or the nickel in the steel button gives me a rash. Not all steel has nickel in it, but I have no way of knowing beforehand whether a piece of clothing will affect me or not. (At least jewelry tells you if it's hypoallergenic. Clothing doesn't.) So some of us don't have a choice--which stinks, because some of the lower placements here and elsewhere look really cool.
