According to the blank box beside your name, you don't have any woots (haven't made any purchases), so you can't vote.

If you did in fact purchase something from sellout.woot, maybe sellout.woot DOESN'T count. I've always heard other people cite it as well though.

You might want to email shirt@woot.com to find out if it's a bug.

I was too scared not to vote for this... :p

Thanks for your help! I will bother them and see what they have to say for themselves.

Re: Sunlit

Your best work yet Jasneko! I like this new style from you. =) +1

Re: I Claim this Sun for GYAAHHHH!!!!!

Love it!!

Now its time to hold our breath...

I thought they looked like sharks, and to a diver you have to admit, the view would be pretty depressing (unless you're crazy like Steve Irwin or the Snake Master). It's like the barrel of a gun, but with sharks - COOL

I really did like it - the perspective was cool, the design was iconic, I just felt it was missing a little pizazz, maybe you could have used another color or two.

This is all IMO from a non-artist, just a woot veteran :D I wish you luck and hope to see you in the fog!

This shirt is so funny. What a great idea!

Re: The Last Day

I didn't realize that this artist also did the recent tornado design which I loved and bought. Kudos!

When I first saw this entry, my first thought was how pretty it was with the half tones and the color choices. The man and the dog added another level of interest. Then, I must admit that I puzzled over the fragmentation of the sun in chunks. Even though this derby is about the sun, I started seeing the object more as a moon. This design is too pretty not to support, so I was able to rationalize it for myself.

I do really wish these forums could be a place to share ideas, no matter how diverse or different they are, without someone going into attack mode. I think it's possible to disagree without being nasty.

Love it

I'm assuming that it isn't, in which case these "hieroglyphics" are equivalent to drawing fancy strokes meant to suggest, for example, Chinese characters - they're not real text, just images made to look like text to the untrained eye.

It might be that hieroglyphics, being pictoral, are simply impossible to moderate. Everyone knows the basic forms of other alphabets (your arab and greek and kanji and the like), but hieroglyphic could just as easily be decoration alone and not text. I don't imagine it'd be an issue unless there was enough set up in such a way as to believe it was supposed to be sloganish or something

That would be an interesting derby theme...hieroglyphic slogans.

This shirt is 100 different kinds of sexy.

It's a shame this is taking votes from legitimate entries.

It would probably degenerate into a rebus derby.

Awesome!

If only there was a ruling body that could some how remove the non-compiant entries from the running!

But you're right.

Re: You Make It Go Away

i really like your design. great job with the coloring as well considering the rules

really really sad to see this one out of the fog. Any other place to buy this design?

And I'm pretty sure we'd all be cooked alive before we got a chance to see anything anyway. But I don't care cuz it looks cool. I need a red shirt badly, and we don't get a lot of good looking red shirts. I just hope it's printed like it looks on here.

What better way to spend the last day than with man's best friend?

It takes light from the sun about 8 minutes to reach us on the earth, so we probably would get to see some crazy fireworks.

you say this sarcastically, as if there are people who actually run quality control on a regular basis.

I mean, there's that one guy who sometimes rejects on a whim, but no one actually does quality control on non-compliant entries.

marmls2m wrote:im really glad to see good taste prevailed

but it didn't!! this shirt didn't make it to the top 3!! how did good taste prevail?? B^) sorry to disagree with you but this shirt was a nice shirt, the only other shirt in the fog that was on par with this was the good morning sunshine the earth sez howdy shirt. the only reason i didn't care for that was kuz o the earth at the bottom B^( the sun was awesome!! if it were just the sun i would totally buy that shirt.

re: the last day

I hope this is in the top 3. Put me down for TWO!! I absolutely love you designs. I look forward to seeing more from you!!

Keep it up! You have a new follower ;)

That was the part I was sarcastic about. ;)

See, this is how I emotionally see the sun. Its a representation of the fact that my skin is the shade of paper. Maybe I should have used melting lobsters instead of flowers

Re: cool summer

Dang-it!! I was totally planning on buying this one! But it fell out of the fog. Bummer!!! Well, I guess that saves me ten bucks.

I am sorry to see your shirt getting rejected like this man, someday there will be the 1 derbie that they will allow this... and i will buy it.

From now on, i am checking all derbies to see for your shirt :D

Good Luck,
Conrads
