I don't know what will happen, but I don't doubt you for a sec. Time will tell.

Thanks guys. Even if I don't win your kind words have inspired me to keep trying. I'm new and I'm THRILLED that I have a handful of votes.
Thanks again!

Glad to hear you are lurking around, keep it up. I hope that I produce a shirt wins AND that you'll buy.

Re: B-Dawg

Woof woof! B@dass tat

Re: friends

You got my vote! very nice.

Re: friends

As has been said before, this is an excellent illustration. Personally I wouldn't wear it but props to anyone that would. I'm just too conservative I guess! Good luck on placing!

Re: Born To Die Again

I like the design, but not the white shirt.

I'm flattered to be compared to Jimiyo :D But he's in a whole 'nuther league above.

I tried to get him here for the derby, since it really suits some of the work he does. He posted a design in the derby thread but it doesn't seem to have been entered.

Can't say I blame him for not entering, though.

re: weapon of mass disruption

Beautiful design. And is that a ... tattoo gun at the bottom? Awesomeness from terrific Wisconsin.

And shame on your guys for trying to get a high res pix to steal. Bad Wooters. Bad. *shakes finger at bad Wooters*

Um .. where's the tattoo element?

Re: Pays the Bills

Not sure how wearable this design is but I applaud your efforts.

I'll be interested to see if this one survives. I don't think I've seen any solid rejections that would give precedence to rejecting this design, so I wouldn't call it rejection bait.

kasey - congratulations on the fog, and good luck!

Is there any way this gets rejected? What would it get rejected for?

I'd wear it :D lol

Re: Weapon of mass disruption

good stuff.

I wasn't exactly sure where I was going when I first started doodling this design, but I liked how the ink felt like it was flowing to the bottom of the letters. From there it was an easy leap to have it flow between the letters. I also wanted to pay homage to the classic "tattoo banner" style.

Overall I'm pretty happy/proud of how this turned out, even if hasn't gotten many votes. I'd certainly appreciate any feedback that folks are willing to give. Thanks!

One uses ASCII, the other unicode.

SpastasticNomadic wrote:I see your point. I happen to be wearing Cho's Treacherous Waters today (one of my few good random purchases) and the colour palette looks similar to me with the lighter and dark blues, and enough white to make it pop in places. I like the muted, subtle feel to the design; however, and it's one of my most complimented shirts. I think the addition of black to Drakxxx's might help it stand out even more, as well. I can see, though, where it might be too muted for some.

And for my random thought of the moment - I'm craving pistachio pudding.

I think I do recall some disappointed comments regarding loss of detail on Treacherous Waters, but I'm not sure. If it does print, I'll be interested in seeing how it turns out.

Woot's been known to be extremely strict with their "PG-13" rule, which is sometimes more restrictive than "G".

Also, the designer specifically mentioned "some crazy unknown reason", which is always a risk in the derby.

Umm, well now. I'm pretty sure we all were trying to get a larger detail picture to make sure it would print properly, as there are a lot of rules surrounding whether a shirt will screen print well, or if the design can even be pulled off.

Skuls and Roses are the most common tattoos, that is what this is, only as would appear for lego people. It is a parody of that type of tattoo.

Re: Stars upon thars...

YOU CAN'T REUSE ENTRIES??? WHY NOT?????

oh well...

dankstick wrote:Thanks for looking and I want some tater tots now...mmmm

Unrelated to the design - I read that as "taser tots". Awesome.

jenovanomusuko wrote:"No one has anything to say about this design."

me neither...

As a lego fan I would definitely get this shirt.

re: not so awesome

The irony you may be going for is lost on me as I have seen not just a few large, scary men with some childish tatoos. The fatness minus clothing kindof makes me puke too. That should come as a compliment, unless you were going for a hot-looking fat dude.

Just for your info ... that blob thing in the back is a gravitationally inclined female on a daybed.

You have 24 hours to remove a design. You can leave up multiple versions of a design if you want, but then you risk splitting your votes.

Re: Live Caged and Complain

Still not something I would wear, but I think this is my favourite in the derby. Great concept and take on the theme.

Re: Acherontia lachesis III

So if I had this one removed, would everyone go vote for the other one? There's probably a lot of duplicates so it would be a wash.

Re: Child Cruelty

I think it's hilarious. I love the series and I've been going through it again these last few weeks (I own all the DVDs).

My only nitpick - the airbenders don't get arrow tattoos until they master airbending.

Voted anyway, and would probably buy just because I want an ATLA shirt.

Thanks! I've always wanted to try out that game. Everyone seems to be playing it.

re: thrift-i-ness rocks

Only an Dr. Clayton Forrester wouldn't get this tattoo.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=33754]Fox

Papyrus... Will that font be on the shirt?

Re: TattooTs - Foo Man Chu

Looks like your design detail doesn't match the shirt comp. I'm afraid that the blurry shadow thing you're doing (on multiple entries, it seems) is rejection bait.

Or anyone with nipples at all.

Ehal- My style is so recognizable, huh? ALAS. ;_; Well, maybe it's a good thing, we'll see.

Some quality in your line work, I think. I'm not sure, really.

Maybe it's just because I know you so well.

It's really hard and painful to get one removed, isn't it? ;^)
