Re: When Skies are Gray (Resub)

My wife, when she was little would cry when people sang this song at the part where it goes "please don't take my sunshine away."
I love that she is drawing a sun! Great job!

Thank you! I was excited when I thought of it. If you look in the derby thread, there are some different versions, and some people gave some more suggestions that made it what it is now.

Hmmm... I guess I remember 3 rainbow shirts, a unicorn eating one, a fruit rainbow machine and I guess one with some animals in the ocean and a rainbow (seemed less like a rainbow is the subject). I'm sure there are others, but that's all I knew of and they seemed different enough... I liked that this takes the real concept and puts it into another form, but sorry you are dissapointed... (though not totally sure why you are, since I'm not even close to winning;)

yeah, scratchiness adds nothing to this shirt. Maybe if the theme was 'scratchy designs', you could do that again, but otherwise I see no point.

Re: Disowned...

I still find it crazy how Pluto has been banished from the Planet Club.

Thanks for all your support!

This is even better than I was expecting. Very well done!!

Nobody is really acknowledging that little bit of information. Mob Rule states that Pluto is still in fact a planet, despite current Astronomical Repression!

Yes!

Wait...I thought Pluto was a dog. If Pluto is a planet, then what the hell is Goofy?

You know, this reminds me of the Mario 3 sun that swooped down in the desert levels. Maybe that's it.

Thanks Bald Bob. I had no clue about the Kimono thing. I have since been schooled Wikipedia style! Also, thank you to everyone who has voted. I really appreciate it!

I just asked five people and they told me they couldn't tell what was going on without the title.

You may want to consider putting a giant sign saying "SUN" on it.

re: solaris hamstro v2

What, only 13 people like this?
Come on, can't a hamster get a little love...?

Re: Solaris Hamstro V2

The torso of the shirt in your shirt comp is ridiculously long. It looks like it came from the big-n-tall store?

I know this is gonna sound really weird, but there is a small percetnage of the population that really like to TUCK their shirt in...
Isn't that strange?

Just remember, crack kills.

Re: Disowned...

We don't want you anymore, Pluto. Make like a magician and vamoose. Unless the shirt color changes... red or blue or green or pink or white, and you can stay, Pluto.

*hint, hint*?

re: the last day

You know, my first thought wasn't that it was inaccurate. My first thoughts were "that sun looks like an orange being pulled apart" and "how touching, to be sitting and watching the Last Day with your dog"... i guess the design isn't for everyone, but it clicked with my personality. And I consider myself a big fan of science.

I voted for it. And I have a pretty good feeling I'll be able to buy it this weekend, too.

Re: Disowned...

Heh, Mercury's all happy and clueless. The sun melted away its brain cells, mmm?

Re: Under the Aztec Sun

I seem to be fighting you for sixth place ;]

Re: bloody sunday

I have a suggestion to the designer to make this one a little funnier. The vampire should be wearing the typical Dracula cape with the high collar & have white sunscreen on his nose, in other words, doing everything a vampire would have to do to protect himself for a day at the beach... then the sign should show "no Dracula capes"... More irony!

Re: Yay. Sunrise.

This is me to a "tee."

Re: The Last Day

The controversy over this shirt is certainly unexpected... woot never ceases to amaze me. Hah

I'm definitely voting for it though, cool design!

LOL, hopefully having a creepy moon face right below my entry won't scare away potential voters.

*sob
that didn't make it less creepy D:

I'm kinda sad this doesn't have more votes...

Re: Disowned...

If this gets printed, I'll definitely buy one!

My kid would get has axe kicked if he wore this to school!!

re: i r the sun

A mentally handicapped panda? huh
Well, it would explain some of their population problems...

Re: Solar Powered

hehe i love ramyb e-fights, they provide good perspective...

ive been wooting for a relatively short amount of time, and i have bought plenty of shirts.

problem is, there are a ton of shirts I would much rather buy than most of the stuff fogged. and every other derby contains a ramyb shirt. so naturally im going to criticize him.

i think some of his shirts are decent, some of them arent. however they do have a nice polish to them, so props for that.

i have less of a ramyb issue than i have with the voting issue. too many woot accounts are voting for fogged items as if fogged items are the only ones even viable for a win.

dont vote for the fog, vote for shirts u want to buy.

i really wish they would change it so only accounts that buy twice a month can vote, the 1 shirt prerequisite is wayyy too abusable.

im not saying ramyb is rigging the voting, im just saying id rather wear some of the unfogged items.

this design for the derby is meh, im still figuring out how it got so many votes when there are a ton of other shirts just like it, and this one duznt particularly shine.

RamyB's best shirt was the one with the playing cards, and that one didnt win.

i hate you guys.

re: abstract sun

I like this design, its simple and flawless.

Wow! Thank you all for the incredible response! It was quite a surprise to see it was so well received.

xtinaftw wrote:I love it! You did an awesome job making it look like more than 6 colors. I see you used a green though so I'm wondering why the earth is blue and orange.

I tried a several variations with green as well, but the way I was doing the colors, it just looked muddy unless I used to fine a screen and risked making it unprintable. Also many of the pictures of earth from space show more of brown/desert color than green. Plus just trying to keep things simple. ;)

Hmm... there is a similarly. But I would say they are pretty different. Obviously in style, but also that is about a bunch of angry planets rejecting Pluto, where mine is about the Sol disowning one of her 'children'. In mine, only Mars is angry. But everyone knows that Mars is always angry anyway. ;)

xxchange wrote:Heh, Mercury's all happy and clueless. The sun melted away its brain cells, mmm?

Heh... and Mercury figures, being the closest planet, she has nothing to worry about. ;) (that, and she never really got to know Pluto anyway)

trippregan wrote:Nobody is really acknowledging that little bit of information. Mob Rule states that Pluto is still in fact a planet, despite current Astronomical Repression!

Forget mob rule, Illinois and New Mexico both created laws that establish the Pluto is a planet in their states.

Again, thanks everyone for the amazing response. And for those who haven't read it, The Pluto Files by Neil deGrasse Tyson is great book and a fun read.

Cheers,

Dang. I would really like to see a re-sub of this that's derby-eligible. The Zelda geek inside me really wants to wear this concept on a t-shirt.

Re: Sun Hug!

I feel like your cuter designs would benefit more from not having the weathered affect on them!

tgentry wrote:Eeeeasse up MattC. Eeease up. And who are Rilke and Denison?

Rilke: German poet, arguably the best German poet
Dinesen: wrote a very famous short story collection, "Seven Gothic Tales"

Both literary icons in world literature. Both quoted in my sig. because the quotes refer to wine. Both awesome enough to quote.

Re: The Missing Sun...

I really love her face! If I had to nitpick with you, I'd have to say that I feel like the rest of the elements within the image (the flowers, shinies, and clouds) are seemingly disjointed from the figure itself. Maybe it would have been nice to see the flower pattern in her kimono instead? Or even just repeat the lovely flower shapes in her hair into the background with the clouds (those flowers are much nicer than the sakura types floating).

Beware the cream shirt! I learned this the hard way.. hoho.

Re: Sun Hug!

Thanks for the votes and for the great design advice! Criticism is always welcome!
