Re: The Space Crabs

Infestation of space crabs is more likely in adults than in children. Infection of a young child or teenager may indicate alien probing.

^ first thing I thought of when I heard the term "space crabs".

But the illustration is amazing!

Re: Interplanetary Bunnies

Would have been better if the chibi animal in the background was a dead horse.

When you submit to Woot, they automatically convert it to jpg. If you don't submit in jpg then the conversion really lowers the quality. Here's the checklist:

1. RGB mode
2. JPG format
3. no compression on your end
4. correct resolution (580x580px for the comp, 240x240px for the design detail)

Re: The Space Crabs

I could see this becoming one of my favorite shirts. Way to knock it out of the park.

I don't think "honzo" is necessarily Japanese.

I like how every user with a Japanese-esque username and who joined after a certain date no longer have a valid opinion on anything.

Re: Monsters Of Cowbell World Tour

Exactly what I thought of when I read the Derby theme and this seems to be the only design to have taken the tour shirt idea and ran with it. As someone else mentioned it would be cool for a little logo or something for the front but you have your limitations. Great job.

flibbityjibbet wrote:Unfortunately, I noticed the cymbal placement issue right off the bat hahaha. I can't really vote for it because of that alone. I'm naturally meticulous when it comes to things involving musical instruments.

I think you have so few votes, that if you re-subbed it, you would be just as likely to win. Better to do it now than later!

I understand if you want to leave it as is, though.

Just know that Woot isn't gonna let you change it after the voting ends. Because it's already been voted for and everything, changing it in any way afterwards could be considered a bait-n-switch :P

That's a small enough change that I think Woot would certainly allow it. Remember when Seki reordered her animals in her Amazing Race shirt? That was a bigger change than this one. Also, such a small change wouldn't turn off any of the people that voted for it.

I suggest you just post a revised comp in your first post in this thread to retain the votes of the nitpicky folk.

I live in Canada. I think I know that guy. Joe, right? He's a musical genius when it comes to the cowbell. I have no idea how he can draw such hauntingly beautiful sounds out of it. Joe's work is the very definition of "euphony".

tgentry wrote:Personally I love the name of the band. The designer encapsulates the entire history of rock and roll music in two words, plus goes one better and adds robots and jet planes.

Yeah, it's hard to explain. I like the _concept_ of the name and the idea behind it; I just don't like how it sounds when I say it out loud.

*shrugs*

Like I said, it was just me personally. I'm sure if someone as kickass at design as you disagrees, then plenty of people will like the name

Re: The Space Crabs

I keep coming back to this because i like it so much. I love the colors, the design, everything about it. I will buy one if it prints

papacrazyfoot wrote:I need like a list of rules. I keep feeling like I'm going to get rejected. Anybody have a link or something?

Basic rules are on the submission page. Woot doesn't provide more easily-accessible information, but the community has pulled some resources together. Here's a guide I wrote. The third paragraph links to a set of unofficial rules compiled through observation.

Anyways, still GMV.

That was on purpose. They were shaded before, but it ended up making the text hard to read, so I left them as a solid tone.

Re: The Probable Error of a Mean

I'm afraid that this is outside of Woot's printable area.

Re: Galactic Riffed

I actually saw the guitar first; didn't see the spaceship and rift until I looked at it further.

Great stuff, you've GMV. So much win coming out of this derby.

Re: WWIAFTB

The Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Band is coming. Are you ready for the flailing madness?

Re: The Probable Error of a Mean

I don't know why that line comes up in the comp. It's not there in the print-ready image.

camoor wrote:Would woot ever consider spinning off "KidsShirt.Woot"? That way the usual derby winners could still get printed, and they could go back to printing shirts for adults on shirt.woot

Indeed.

The band name reminds me of a song that my friends listen to a lot. Had to look it up, but I think this is it. Note - potentially NSFW due to language.

Re: WWIAFTB

I'm not sure if Woot will allow the Family Guy reference. Back in the slogan derby I entered "My Favourite Colour Is Shiny", which is something my friend came up with and has been saying for YEARS. It was on its way up the ranks and was rejected for being a Simpsons reference. Having watched almost all of the older Simpsons episodes, I can say that it wasn't, so I suppose the reference came up in a more recent episode or the movie. Sigh.

But yeah - I'm not sure that this will pass.

flibbityjibbet wrote:How is the name hilarious? It's like calling the band "Three Rabbits Floating in Space". Let's be creative.

I can think of a better band name. Threekachu. *shrugs*

Sorry but that's motherflippin' Pikachu.

And if we're nitpicking.. the ear holes in the helmets should have killed the other two, as well. And the dead one doesn't have an instrument. Not even a mic. *second shrug*

Just some carelessness. I don't care who drew this, it would be hated by me.

the name just struck a funny chord with me. i don't know why. i just like the name. i happen to like the shirt. different strokes for different folks. there are plenty of shirts on shirt woot that i don't particularly care for and others that i really like. this one happens to be in the latter category for me.

i like bunnies. and the more different while maintaining their cute, resonate with me (like i love the bunny on monty python's quest for the holy grail---cute but really evil).

That's incredibly catchy. I'm sure I'll leave it on loop for a little while in the background.

The best!!!!

Re: The Letterbrains (resub)

I'm bummed your first one was rejected. It definitely made more sense as LetterHeads. I really love the style of this though. Good luck catching back up!

Re: SKULL BUTTER

Did Woot finally get purple shirts? or no?

Re: The Sex Drugs

i say leave it the way it is!! its great and one of the top 2 shirts of this derby in my eyes B^) i hope this makes it into the fog ASAP!!

Re: The Spitball Ninjas

I'm sorry, but I can't vote for any entry that uses the font Papyrus.

wsgosset wrote:I don't know why that line comes up in the comp. It's not there in the print-ready image.

Line or no line, there is nothing about this that says "fake band" to me. Also, do you have that print going all the way to the side seams? You can't do that.

Clapton and Winwood did... but they seem to have forgotten their cowbell!

I think slhampel meant that the girl in the third panel is wearing her own fanshirt that says "gibbies" along with "fun," "rock," "music" etc.

Demonbuttercup wrote:Did Woot finally get purple shirts? or no?

No.

I also think there's more than six colors.

Re: Gonna Make You Lunch

I dunno... I think this one is TOO dated! I mean come on?!?!? LOL

Don't we have enuff PB&J shirts out there?

Hello!

I have never submitted anything to shirt.woot and I am curious in seeing if anyone would be interested in this design before I put more time in it.

Thank you for your time and any advice/tips/crit.

Re: Avengeful Death

Love the style!

Reawen wrote:For some reason this makes me think of Schoolhouse Rock!

Same here! got my vote!

Re: The Filthy Mudbloods

I love it, I think that Mudbloods is to general to be a copyright but we'll see, woot is never consistent about these things...But fingers crossed!!

monkeyswag wrote:cute seems to fly here. nice cute little creatures you have. gl

Yea I've been getting that feeling for the short time I have been here. Thought I would give it a shot because I could not come up with a decent idea for this derby.

eHalcyon wrote:Completely nothing to do with your design here - your username reminds me of two different characters from two different high fantasy series. There's Icarium from Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen series, and Achamian from R. Scott Baker's Prince of Nothing series. Cool beans.

hoho all this while I thought I had a unique last name. I want to read those books now.

Re: Botanical Beard

Bellissima!

LARGE IMAGE

Ok! Here we go. Celebrate the infamy of Syndi Slain, Tevin Hammer and Rusty Nailze with this commemorative re-issue of the classic "Avengeful Death" tee. Known for invoking b-rated horror movie gore, Avengeful Death appears here, standing atop a mound of conquered zombie flesh.

I made this for my boyfriend Martin who loves zombies. And I love Martin...and zombies.

Please vote if you like my work!
