Shirt.Woot

Agreed honestly. I set Link on the side as more of a joke that I didn't even plan on doing but just did for fun and only submitted because no one else had done one. Despite its voting success I much prefer this design.

nooooooooooooooooo j o e. Joe never lost in the show. not cool not cool. woot I know you watching 520 of us wooters will buy this one if not more. Do the right thing woot.

I'm sorry to see this shirt didn't make the fog. It definitely deserved it and I was itching to get one.

Kudos on the awesome work though.

Alas... the idea did not come to me until tuesday night...

Congrats on top 4

If this shirt ends up for sale, I will most certainly buy it (pending if I have money).

Frankly, I think the explaination of the interpreted tv show title is fine. It is a reinterpretation after all...it doesn't have to be an obvious reinterpretation of a firefly.

Also, I won't be buying it solely because it is a reinterpretation...I would buy it because I think it looks nice. I don't care if people look at the shirt and don't think "oh, is that a reinterpretation of the tv show firefly?". Frankly, I've never even seen firefly, and I'm perfectly happy with it not being an obvious reinterpretation. I just like the shirt, plain and simple.

You're joking, right?

Re: Inspired by Firefly

Love the colors. Love the design. Love the placement. very nice design.

Re: Inspired By Mythbusters

see.. this shirt is a good example of the problem here.
Its in 5th place.. some hate it.. some love it.. I hate it so much i love it.. i think..

But you have a shirt like firefly.. that is likely to win and be made.. people voted for it because they liked the artwork.. or the tv show.. but will the buy/wear the shirt?

whereas this shirt got fewer overall votes, but Id bet a greater percentage of those who voted for this shirt WOULD buy it..

The art-first types around here are costing woot a lot of business...

Agreed. This is the only shirt from this derby I was hoping to buy.

Re: Inspired By Mythbusters

Please submit this somewhere else after you're free from woot's legal mumbo jumbo. I really want to wear this.

re: inspired by: time warp v2

This shirt is wicked awesome. I would definitely buy it. It was only defeated, because it split it's own support with a V1 and V2. Please make it an Editor's Pick. -murphyspub

I agree. Definitely make it an editor's choice. It's freaking awesome. I would buy it in a heartbeat. Not only would I buy it in a heartbeat, but I would buy TWO in a heartbeat. And show all my friends, so they would buy them too. :p

Re: Inspired by Thundercats (take 2)

I really like all of Ramy's designs. I don't know why they are getting Gigli (2003) on so much. The cute animals are perfect for t-shirts, especially shirts people would purchase. There are much worse shirts that make it through derbies than these ones.

It was definitely a traffic builder for the blog too.

Re: INSPIRED BY GI JOE

Dang, I would have bought this one. Better than the top 4. I love GI Joe and coffee.

Re: Inspired by The Amazing Race

Personally I disagree with a lot of the comments out there. I mean this is a particular style. I mean if the animals were drawn more realistically I feel like it'd take more than 6 colors to make it look nice. Whereas, with a cartoony feel the same concept can be expressed just as well.

I feel like this shirt has a very awesome concept. In my opinion, the way you drew it doesn't seem that static to me at all and I can tell that they're all racing. If people understand the story behind it, then this race is very amazing in its own right.

And about the comments addressing that it's the same people who win all the time. That's not true. There's a reason that certain people win. Sure some people like sticking with the same choice. But it all depends on the appeal of the shirt AND the actual design. Sure there are some extremely detailed and artsy shirts also running in the derby but if a lot of people don't love the concept as much or can't see themselves wearing it then that might explain the lack of votes.

At least that's how I vote. I don't look at the artist's names so much as how much the shirt itself appeals to me and if I'd really wear it.

So great job, Seki! I absolutely LOVE this shirt. I love the Chinese Zodiac and I think that your take on this concept is absolutely adorable. I am definitely in for one if it prints! Good luck!

I think of those 520 of us, many want more than just one. I would be in for 3

I second that.

Re: INSPIRED BY GI JOE

Good run, You deserved better, this probably would have been a sellout too. I hope to see it in the future here.

I definitely loved the chinese zodiac scheme (although i believed the chicken was a tad behind, but nonetheless...)! Good job!

Re: Inspired by The Amazing Race

This totally reminds me of Fruit Basket! I love it!!

Re: Inspired by The Amazing Race

I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT!!! It fits the story perfectly- How the mouse cheated by hitching a ride w/ the ox and then just jumped off in front when they got there. I WANT IT!!! =D =D

Re: Inspired by The Amazing Race

I love cute animals and will buy them every time. Also, cute animals aside, the design is amazing! I will be looking for this one this weekend!!

Great shirt. Wish it would have won. Just curious - is that a Cylon and C3PO or am I just going robocrazy?

This was my favorite in the derby. I really like your style lkackman. I'd buy that sloth shirt of yours if it wasn't 21 bucks.
