Re: Everything I Need

Re: Class Time Used Effectively

I can totally imagine myself wearing this shirt to school. ALL my teachers yell at me for doodling, and at the end of last school year I had a folder an inch thick of doodles. This also happens to be a beautiful shirt. GMV, and if it wins I'm buying it.

I like this but I think it would've been better without the pig.

Re: Check Yes or No

This shirt was cute, but you've done better.

i like this.

I like the boy's big head.
One thing I would change is the sky... it's a bit too much a blob of solid ink for me... would have been nice if it was a halftone or done differently somehow. Or even, made the building color the shirt color. Just thoughts!

I appreciate the comment. I'm still pretty new at this whole "shirt designing" thing so the feedback is quite useful.

I'd like to hear other peoples thoughts on the sky color issue and ways to fix it. Should I leave it as is or should I resubmit it (although I'd lose my 7 beautiful, beautiful votes).

THANKS!

Re: Just concentrate... yeah right!

That's pretty darn awesome. First Derby shirt in the fog I'd want to buy in quite some time ...

Thank you. I wasn't sure how everyone at Woot would take this one because it is pretty different than the usual Woot style, but it seems to be doing fairly well.

Thank you to everyone who has voted, and to all those who will vote for it in the future.

Re: That Was a Long Time Ago

Beautiful. Your color choices are always lovely. I think this is my favorite palette from you.

Re: This Be Difficult

HAHA sick!

So many shirts this week that are really good. As a teacher at a school for students with ADD and dyslexia, there are a number I would love to wear. And I am getting ready to teach Geometry and Physical Science so there are 5 in the top 7 or so that I really, really want. HM's, I hope.

weak. barely has anything to do with school.

Re: That Was a Long Time Ago

This turned out really cool, T!

Re: I'm Outa Here

My favorite this derby. The colors, the details, the linework, the 'gradient', the everythiiiing ~<3

Re: Everything I Need

Brilliant. I love it!

Re: The Chemist

I believe I have found the shirt for my father for x-mas...this is awesome!

I see a pencil, Pi, engineering, oceanic biology, and a kid writing in a notebook. All of these things make this on the school topic. If this isn't on topic, neither are two of the other three shirts in the fog.

Re: That Was a Long Time Ago

Re: 789

But it explains why six is afraid of seven.

windflies wrote:That looks disturbingly similar to what I wore for four years of my life.... Colors and trumpet included.

Haha really? I wonder if it was a common uniform (and school colors!). This is basically a drawing of my own marching band uniform. Our uniform was AWESOME:D

I didn't play trumpet though, I was in the pit - mainly the xylophone and some other percussion.

re: wishful thinking

Love it lil hairy brother :D. The coloring is great leave it be.

Re: A Hellacious Lot.

Congratulations to mshepker for correctly guessing all eight characters in the shirt on Aug 22, 2009 at 7:24 AM. Thanks so very much to all who participated. You made this derby so much more fun for me, and it was great to read your guesses. Many of you were very close and had some really great guesses for who they could've been! It just so happened that I had specific people in mind. Anyways, here are the answers by number:

1. Judas Iscariot - Betrayed Jesus by identifying him with a kiss, and accepted a bribe of thirty pieces of silver to do so. (Hence the money bag).
2. Incitatus - Emperor Caligula's favorite horse, who lived the life of luxury. Caligula is noted for trying to appoint Incitatus (his horse) as a priest.
3. Caligula - Known for his cruelty and insanity as an emperor. He was self-indulgent, slept with other men's wives, made his palace a brothel, frivolously spent money as a ruler, and all sorts of other crazy things.
4. Jack the Ripper - A serial killer in London, England noted for his most gruesome and vicious killings of at least five women.
5. Elizabeth Bathory - The legend of her is somewhat similar to that of "Dracula". The stories of her depict that she lured young women to her home to work as servants and then killed them, so she could bathe in their blood and stay young. I believe this was later found to be untrue, but she was responsible for a multitude of tortures and murders of servant girls that she kept prisoner in her home. (The mirror and rag soaked with blood were in place of a bathtub, as I couldn't put that in there!)
6. John Wilkes Booth - Assassinated President Abraham Lincoln in the Ford's theater.
7. Vlad the Impaler - known for impaling his enemies on pikes, and there they would hang for hours or days until they died a slow and agonizing death. The number of his victims ranges from 30,000 to 100,000.
8. Lucifer. I'm sure you're all familiar with him.

Anyways check these people out on wikipedia if you're interested. Their stories are intriguing in a morbid kind of way. Thank you again to all participants - you guys really made this so much fun!

Re: Or Else

OK, so boy gets his homework/test back and sees he got an F. Girl sitting in front of him is minding her own business. Boy tosses the paper up and slams his arms down on the desk in disgust thus drawing the attention of the girl. Meanwhile, a giant mechanical claw starts to lower as if to grab the girl. Then the claw just disappears apparently without having done anything. The boy leaves his paper on the desk, gets up, runs behind the chalkboard and starts swearing, and the girl looks back to see what's going on and she is so troubled by what she sees (what does she see?) that she drops her pencil.

And the title of the entry is "Or Else".

Erg.

I've looked at this entry a thousand times and I still can't figure out what the heck is going on here. Please tell me what I'm missing cuz it's just making my brain wiggle and I hate when that happens.

And don't be afraid to embarrass me by pointing out something obvious that I should have gotten without an explanation. I know I'm not hip. I won't be embarrassed. OK, I might get embarrassed, but at this point I'd rather be embarrassed than confused.

this is adorable, having multi hands is awesome.

Thanks binkdrop! And thanks for all your suggestions from before - they helped!

Re: School is hard

I really like the glue monster. : ) Cute concept!

Re: Look Sharp

I wish when I sharpened my pencils they automatically got some awesome shades and the ability to speak! :p Cute idea, made me laugh.
