Are those gradients or just layered inks?

Not a nice design.

Re: Outer Space Fight har har har!

Not my favorite Edgar design, but one I would be happy to wear.

aw, thanks, ramy!

I definitely like this a lot better! I like the changes to color (and shirt color) and definitely placement works better here.

I'm in for one!

Re: Space... between your ears!

How ever thought being empty headed could be so cool!?

They're just ink. It's kind of like a posterization, no complicated halftones or gradients.

Re: Let's Call It A Draw

This is great. I'm guessing it's on heather gray? Sigh... Here's yet another great case for why we need silver or regular gray (though Jaden would trade a kidney to get purple).

Of course you never know with Woot, but if they reject something like this for the derby I think they'd have to follow it up by rejecting all other likenesses (Alien, Chewy, Star Trek emblems, etc.).

The difference is that other shirts are achieving parody. This one might be attempting parody, however, it is not very strong, both in idea and execution. You can barely tell (or at least *I* could barely tell) that there is a stoplight in there. That aside, so what? There's a traffic light and two ships are obeying it. The artist needs to take it to the next level and clue us in on something hilarious or unexpected that happens as a result of this traffic stop.

Example: If you could see Kessel in the background and in the foreground you could see Han and Chewie looking frustratedly at a stopwatch. "Gah! Looks like no new Kessel run record today!" Then you have some defensible parody.

Re: space werewolf

Your art is quite nice. I would werewolf this shirt for sure. GMV.

Re: Great Unknown

yeah......this is good.

would be epic with glow in the dark, but I'll buy it either way.

good job!!

Re: Great Unknown

So...did you do this completely on your own or did you use an original image and them photoshop filter it? It's a neat design, as I mentioned before in an earlier post, but the more I think about it, I really, really hope this is 100% completely your creation and not from some pre-existing artwork/image/render that you didn't create.

Re: What's Really Out There

Turtle + Elephants + World = Terry Pratchett reference. This seems to be so obviously hinting at the Discworld... only the world on the shirt is round. As a big TP fan, I can dig on this design.

Re: Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah....

It's Big Ty!

That and the "tug-of-war" are my favorites. :-)

No, turtle + elephants + world = ancient myth that Terry Pratchett also used.

No! That's my title! :p

Way to rain on my parade... thanks a lot.

I must have this shirt!

You go bear... you get that space honey!

I also instantly thought of esurance when I saw the thumbnail.

Re: Great Unknown

This is the only shirt in the fog of war that DESERVES to be in the fog of war.

Thanks for your concern, and your support! Your hopes are completely fulfilled, I created this design totally from scratch, start to finish. I referenced some photos of Saturn and Uranus just to get proportions for the rings, but everything in my composition is 100% original from me.

And in case there is still any doubt, I created this design in photoshop, not illustrator. So that is why it may seem like I just ripped off another image. Not the case here.

Re: Great Unknown

It's a nice composition, but to me, it looks rather pixelated. Sorry.

Re: Now What?

I think white was the perfect choice! I love this design! GMV

Why? What makes this shirt so special?

Re: There Goes the Neighborhood Again

Excellent illustration. I just don't like the colors used to vote for it. They mesh together or at least on my monitor they look like that.

Goodluck.

Sorry... I'm just a big fan of literary allusions! Mythology is awesome.

And yeah, I want to click I'd Want One, but like I said in the other forum, I really feel like the unicorn's legs could be tweaked to look like they are hanging down more naturally.

Maybe the beam froze the unicorn in its standing state before pulling it up.

Re: There Goes the Neighborhood Again

Here's a detail of the image.

And I am a big fan of Terry Pratchett ;)

To each their own eh?

I am quite glad to hear that! Thanks for the clarification. Sometimes with images it is difficult to know whether the "inspiration" was purely the artist's creativity or perhaps...another artist's previous work simply modified. Anyways, great work, and now that my concerns have been rendered null and void, this shirt looks wonderful and deserves the fog.

Wasn't making a dig at Pratchett, sir. Just commenting that he didn't come up with the idea. Like many great writers, he draws from the rich mythology of our world.

Thanks in advance for checking out my 1st entry this week. I ended up going with the Navy.. mainly because I have never used Navy for a design before... and Woot seems to have a lot of black/navy shirts they need to move (this the space theme).

Yay, you moved the Earth! I assume the moon horizon didn't work out as planned? Oh well, much better now anyways.

Re: There Goes the Neighborhood Again

Go directly to fog.

Re: Negative Space

Awesome idea/title/colors.

I would shrink down the design so that it fully fits on the shirt though. I will be rejected for being outside the printing area since you have the stars actually going over the edge of your shirt comp. Designs generally need to be at least 1 inch from all seams.

Oi! Mosh good! the bottom part is hilarious. i hated this when you posted in the discussion but it totally grew on me. +1

I feel that. It's all good. I just saw the shirt and my mind went straight to Great A'Tuin World Turtle. I guess different people will interpet it different ways. Either way you see it, this is a solid design. I am actually a little suprised by how many good designs there are already. I expected much more out of the last derby, and it seems like this one has already surpassed the last in quality designs submitted.
