That, is extremely cute!!!!
As is this shirt, in a different way;)

Livnxtreem wrote:Well being that I have only been a Woot member for about three months I will have to say this is the first Mario shirt I have seen. So I can understand the irritation there. I guess my point was the negativity. I am all about some tips or advice on making it better, but if you are going to whine, complain, and be negative rather than helpful in a positive manner, go take some prozac on your high horse and get over yourself. Life is too short for negativity and complaining.

Well, lol. I guess that was a little hypocritical, huh? I guess I was just complaining about the negative folks on my soap box, eh. CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG! GOSH! That was the point, geez!

Not directed toward you jmmbell1987. Guess the newb here needed to know that there were a lot of the mario prints.

I hear ya, and I appreciate your sentiment. Positivity is a good thing.

I just see both sides, is all. I agree that the complaining can go to far and get bogged down in pointless fighting. But I've also seen designs win that just bothered me, to the extent that I totally understood their detractors and couldn't just dismiss them as being unnecessarily negative. And when that happens for the umpteenth time, I can see how that pushes some into the territory where they just have to be honest.

Re: The Collector

I like this! Especially the faces on the flowers.

Re: Flora in furs.

Oh no! I liked it better before.

Re: How Does Your Garden Grow?

Great detail! I want this shirt. GMV.

Re: The Power of the Chiacorn

hahhaa...this is hilarious.
Random but hilarious.
Was wondering what you would offer to this derby...nice.

Re: a thousand forests is in a single acorn

these colors really pop

Re: The Power of the Chiacorn

I FEEL it. It's taken over me.

Since you are so new here, maybe you should take a look at ALL the shirts that have been submitted to the Derbies and all the shirts ever printed on Woot.

Exactly my point. Why do you think they make designs they know people will vote for? So they can get the MONEY, duh! Smart in my opinion because they could get an easy win just for the theme of their design. Not original,I know, but brilliant if you want the money. Instead of being so critical of the artist who is appealing to the voters and not the critics, be critical of the voters. The voters print the shirts. Can't blame a dude for wanting 1,000 buckaroos. That's all I am trying to say.

I have actually looked at some of the older shirts. One of my good friends happens to own the shirt with the Davinci Turtle from Mario. I have been looking at Woot shirts for quite some time. I meant new as in just recently became an artist on woot and bought shirts. I suppose I haven't seen all the shirts in the bloody archive. Good grief! But as many video game shirts I have seen printed you would think everyone wanted them. I had no idea there was so much hostility toward video game themes.

If you have such a problem with it. Design a better shirt people will vote for instead of the other! Win instead of Whining

I guess I wanted to go for a more "hey I'm in yo' face" design, which kind of came out that way, but it does creep me out.

hahhaaa...if it creeps you out then I would change it. Re-submit! You have plenty of time...
And I will vote without the mouth. : )

Re: Allura Venus

HOLY COW Drakxxx! I love this shirt! I really, really hope this prints, GMV!

Re: The Power of the Chiacorn

I would totally wear this. Not only is it green, it is awesomeness incarnate.

Another winner in my book.

Re: That's just wrong!!!

I like this! Voted.

Re: DON'T stop to smell the roses! re-sub

a-TTACK of the killer tomatoes! ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES!!!They'll beat you, bash you, squish you, mash you, chew you up for brunch and finish you off for dinner or lunch!
They're marching down the halls - They're crawling up the walls. They're gooey, gushy, squishy, mushy - Rotten to the core
They're standing outside your door!

Wow, you DO like this derby! Love all your entries. Congrats to "Cotton" which is doing really well! I like this one and the porcupine one the best though

Re: Surfing the Web

Kdubb...I won't buy this shirt just cause it's not my style. But I want you to know I appreciate the great use of color and tiki-vintage approach you took.

Re: 4 Leaf Clover

It's a clover... duh.

I set a personal record for fastest design on this one. Took about 15 minutes from idea to completed submission... lol. That is worth a few votes right?

jasneko wrote:Hmm.... is this code for something? Thanks, even if I don't know what i means, hehe.

There are a lot of cacti in Arizona.

JesseBYAH wrote:Oh purdy!

Agreed. nice colors.

Re: It's a Cactus with a Fez

It's a really nice design, but the title is AWESOME.

Drakxxx wrote:Gorgeous as always Jewel. The colors are perfect.

I agree. The colors are unexpected, but they work so nicely.

Re: Floral Invasion!!!

Very cool. And I really like it on the navy.

Livnxtreem wrote:You know what I don't get.... is how some people are so critical of something people spent a lot of time on. In addition, they don't vote for the mere fact it isn't original. Like there is some code people "have" to follow. This website is about people having fun making designs and hoping that someone will like it and vote. If they win, it is because it is what the fellow wooters want! I applaud anyone who sticks to there guns and designs things they know will win. Don't get me wrong I love, love, love the originals, I just wish there wasn't so much negativity. Kudos to all the people who are encouraging and constructive rather than critical. I think sometimes people know how to play the system and win the votes! I love Mario and I know many do. Great artwork.

No offense Wugsby. I know you were trying to be positive near the end. I just have bottled up my thoughts on responses like yours and it just so happens you received the wrath of words.

The problem with using a design that's too close to the original without being a parody is that the owners of the original art can sue Woot for copyright infringement. Saying that voters loved it won't be much of a defense. Whether this one crosses the line or not, I have no idea. Woot will decide sooner or later.

Re: Breathe

A tranquil serene peaceful (you get the picture) lotus blossom. Made halftones from the gradients.

Oh I completely agree with you there. But it seems like the people who had a problem with it, generalized video game themes altogether, as well as other popular themes.

Re: Snapdragon

I can imagine florists and gardeners really enjoying this one. Nice work.

Re: Allura Venus

You always draw pretty ladies without making them look cheap. Nice work on this one. It's really good.

Re: My job here is finished

Just a question... Wouldn't it have to have at LEAST some carrot tops or something to be considered under the topic of flora?

Re: Autumn Cometh

This is beautiful - would buy this in a second

Re: How Does Your Garden Grow?

This is totally awesome!

Re: Moonlight Bloomers
