No, No, Its definitely just stippling, like almost every other entry. In fact, the only reason I submitted this was because I saw that they were allowing any form of art that was composed of dots or short dashes, and not rejecting any entry that didn't blend primary colors to create secondary and tertiary colors.

Seurat was really the only person OCD enough to get pointalism right. I'm pretty bad with color to begin with, so there is no way I would consider attempting to master pointalism in a week.

Re: A Thousand Points of Pucker!

Heather grey just captures the moment in a way no asphalt or blue shirt can.

Re: Ethereal Bird

I wanted to give designing shirts a shot and this is my very first attempt. This design would not be possible without the brushes and helpful guide provided by Zenne at her blog http://zenne.blogspot.com/

That being said this abstract idea is the product of an evening of sketching. I would love lots of feedback, whether it is negative or positive. Thanks.

Thank you to everyone who supported this.

It was a big boost of confidence to see my work soar up to 16th place, after my last entry only made it to 69th. I really don't have the heart to drastically modify this one and resubmit, so I may just sit this week out if I don't come up with something else.

Hopefully I can come up with something you'll like next week. Again, thank you all so much for supporting this design while it was up. I hope I can live up to your expectations again next week.

I see what you mean, after seeing boot's entry I got a good example of what pointillism should look like. This was my first attempt at digital pointillism and while I really like the outcome, I can understand your argument. I'm currently working on a redesign of this one with more blossoms and shading, so hopefully it'll turn out even better

Re: A Thousand Points of Pucker!

Yes please! This might be one of your best chances to win, yet.

It would certainly strengthen your position, and hers, if someone could post some serious, well accepted, works of pointillism that are as you describe. I haven't found anything myself, and I have been diligently trying.

Mondrian is a good example, though the dashes he used aren't as long as seki's (which I don't agree it's pointillism either way...). My point was that pointillism isn't necessarily just "dots."

"The mill under the sun, shows Mondrian’s confrontation with this classical hollandaise theme. The painting reflects the influences of the “fauvism”, and Van Gogh’s painting principles. The mill, appears against the light painted by several superimpositions of paintbrushes. The use of the “pointillism technique” allows Mondrian to dematerialize the form, and the utilization of “fauvism composition” to allow him reach new levels of abstract reality."

Re: firefox

Ok guys remember to focus your efforts on the horrible design we have in front of us.

Re: Salt and Pepper (resub)

My apologies if already answered, but what does the image (well done) represent? I don't get it . . .

thanks . . .

Re: Buy 1 Get 4 Free

Cool design. I like it.

Re: Late Afternoon

I really like it Dr. J.

whoaaa. does it have to be in a square though? :/

Thanks for the feedback, Schenk! I spent a lot of time on the design and I'm glad you like it!

And here is my description of it:

This shirt is good because it is many shirts in one. It never gets dirty and is appropriate for all occasions, including soirees, sporting events, and funerals.

Re: Golden Colors

Thank you all. I always like incorporating math into my art, and I love it when peple recognize it. hopefully this will go better than my first submission...

Re: firefox

I have to agree that the solid brown background makes this NOT pointillism. I haven't taken an art class in 13 years and even I can tell that it doesn't fit the theme. I've been wooting for over a year now so I feel like I've gotten to know the site fairly well. It's things like this not being rejected that make me feel woot is losing all credibility.

Re: Fading Fast

I agree with someone else who said it was a poor rejection. I like your design better. I don;t find the two shirts that similar.

Well, I would hope that Seurat was OCD enough to get pointilism right, or we wouldn't have the technique. And as far as the misconception of only primary colors, he used 11. The point is to form new colors using a limited palette without mixing pains together, not limiting yourself to only primaries.
He did avoid white though, using the canvas itself showing through for that. He also avoided black, as did the Impressionists, because black isn't really a color, it's the absence of color.

And Moejo because pointillism does not require multiple colors at all. It is based on using dots (points) to create a picture. And normally, those dots, when viewed in close proximity to one another, create the illusion of another color. Both of you kids need to go sit in the corner.

The problem is that Moejo is a lot more on, though.

There IS a difference between stipling and pointillism. This still leans far too close to stipling for me. The majority of the "gray" of the rhino is the canvas, not a blending of colors.

I'd need to see detail pictures to comment on whether or not I think there is "blending" going on here, but right now it looks more like three separate colors being used for stipling.

Re: there is no dot

Too bad this is off topic. I really like the design.

Re: It's a sailboat.

The real question is how will it look on a real shirt in person?

Re: firefox

You guys do realize you're setting yourselves up, right?

What's going to happen when this is rejected and submitted on a brown shirt? You guys won't have anything to complain about the actual execution of the design anymore, which is the lines, but even then, there ARE examples of the famous pointillist artists using short brushstrokes.

Re: Sakura Hanami v.2 Full Blossom

a second version of my first entry. This time with more blossoms.

Re: Light is life

It's much better slanted like this than straight in either direction.

Re: point to your heart

You'll always have my <3.

Re: Sakura Hanami v.2 Full Blossom

I like this one a LOT more! Beautiful!

Okay... I'll take a little out of place over craptastic any day! ;)

Re: Falling Toaster

I did not know there was such demand for cute toasters, but I am glad y'all like it. Perhaps a cute kitchen Aid pro 5 series stand mixer will be next?

Re: Ethereal Bird

Strong first entry! The colors encircling the bird give some great movement.

I don't like the brown addition...I liked the whole "Salt & Pepper" black and white scheme...but I am still voting and I would probably still buy it because this is really the only thing I like from this derby. Good work!

Re: Sakura Hanami

Great design. I get tried of all the masculine t-shirts. Pirates and video games aren't always the most fashionable...

This looks like an egg being fertilized...

I doubt it will be rejected at all. But because Adder cannot be here, I felt like I had to say something. I can almost hear him clanging his tin cup against the bars of his prison.

I don't get this. This doesn't look like a fruit bat at all and if this were a vampire bat it wouldn't want to eat fruit. Is this really just making fun of the whole vampire/bat myth? Calling vampires "fruity". Even if this were just a vampire in bat form it still wouldn't be eating fruit. Being that this design is called "Vampire"...I'm totally lost. Can someone explain please?

re: a thousand points of pucker!

i honestly really dislike the shape of the lips. poorly made.
