Shirt.Woot

This is my favorite shirt in the whole derby. I just love the colors and the overall feel of it. GMV

Good luck!

re: why so gloomy, little sad sack?

Awesome!

Thanks guys for the comments and votes! It is greatly appreciated.

Yeah, I see him as a flour sack. Maybe he is related to a pillow. I do think it is funny that he has little dog or pig ears. The belly button was an after thought.

My Mom used to read Sad Sack comics when she was a kid, so I am sure that is where she got it.

Once again, thanks for the support!

On a side note : My band played a great show in Raleigh, NC tonight. It is now 3:11am and I am going to bed.

Thanks guys.

Instead of underwear - maybe scales to play up her mermaid qualities (they can be shades of blue and green). Then you can keep the green water swirls and fish since it will be clear that they are just green water swirls and fish. Just a suggestion.

Re: Music Blues

I see a face - is that deliberate?

I keep looking at it, and a small part in my brain is screaming, "They're so cute" while another part is just becoming depressed. I think it makes an interesting shirt and I can't believe there isn't one that is smiling! The shapes are pretty neat and diverse too.

haha I will make sure ONE is smiling - no need to worry

Re: Welcome To Blueland

Re: Blue Moon

The aura around the woman, particularly the shading it leads to in hair, is simply magnificent.

Re: Van Gogh's Witching Hour

Another awesome design, Truffle. It's like Voldemort meets Van Gogh. Lots of fun..hope it prints.

Re: The Blue Screen of Death

I fixed the colors please vote for this again if you did before

Re: Night of the Blue Eyed Lemurs

wow, Travis!

the eyes really sell this design!

Great job!


(voted)

Re: Blue Orchid

For some reason, the swirls on and around the bird remind me of the PS2 game Ōkami​. I have the same criticism about the foreground being far more attractive than the background. Wish they complemented each other better. Whatever that means. However that could be done.

Re: Depressed? Have a Cupcake.

I think one thing that would have made it better would be to make the left arrow go down then suddenly curve right, and the right arrow go right and then suddenly curve up, better emphasizing the process.

Or maybe not. I dunno.

Re: The Old Blue Whale

very nice, best in derby

Re: Feeling Blue, Sailor?

Jewel, the blues must make you happy as you have put forth some gorgeous work for this derby.

Re: Blue Cheese?

I love the mouse's expression ... like the existence of blue cheese is making him have to reevaluate life as he knows it.

Mine gets rejected, yet this one: http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=34992 does not? What say you?

That is valid point mister! I say simplicity is perfection at its best! and I don't think a shirt can be simpler than this... err, I meant more perfect than this! (while sticking to the blue theme) I say give me my I'd want one button cuz you clearly got my vote!

Re: Lonely King of the Garden

I really love dandelions and this is my tribute to their silent roars.

Re: Blue Green

I like the colors, especially that shade of green on the navy. We're you thinking about making the blue more vibrant? That might look ok too. Really nice textures and really pretty illo, Marz.

Re: The Old Blue Whale

So odd and intriguing. Best of luck, you definitely have my vote.

Re: A Clue?

Heck yes! Best one yet in my opinion.

Using the programs can be tough at first, but once you get the basic stuff down, it isn't too bad. Check out the links below for some rules and tips.

Here are the derby rules.

Here is a Woot post on basic derby design tips.


If you have anymore questions, just ask, and myself or someone else will help you out.

I tried that first...I just couldn't get it to look like it flowed with the design that way. Plus I kinda like the minimalistic arrows and smileys in contrast with the more realistic cupcake. : )

I certainly hope the arrows are legal, seems like I've seen arrow designs before not get rejected (as if that means anything). But, like another user said, they aren't something that can be typed w/ a keyboard...so... *crosses fingers*

Re: Blue Orchid

I can appreciate it's inherent presence, but it does not stir me to emotion or purchase.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Re: Color to your world

perhaps we have just witnessed the hatching of the elusive Ice Chicken.

Re: Dance of the Deceased

Would be a blue day indeed if this entry slipped into the fog permanently. This would be my choice for my 'day of the dead' shirt.

Re: Blue Oxygen

...ugh, molecular orbital theory. please, god, no.

I can see you got a good grasp on making characters though, as your monsters facial expression is definitely amusing. It might also look better without the weapons, and if you made all the eyes dropping a little tear.

my first thought when seeing this was "beholder?"; i wasn't really all too sure.

mrwednesday wrote:Nice. Is there a reason it looks more like a beluga than a blue?

i think a reason is because it's got its head bowed down in a reverent, thoughtful, deep position

btw, this is BEAUTIFUL. i love it very much. and, as "The Whale" (nickname), i would love to have this.

re: a clue?

AHAHAHAHA!
I'm so voting for this.

Re: B is for.....

Got to agree on the bananna...not real obvious what it is.

this is gorgeous

hookemhorns212 wrote:Totally not an accusation...Just an observation that I have made in this last year of being a wooter.....

I believe you said, SSDD, which means you saw a shirt that was similar to this shirt, and I believe that is an accusation saying that this shirt is a playoff of another shirt. So, if you are going to say that this shirt is a playoff of another shirt, post proof instead of blatantly saying something. :D

Re: Blue Moon

A ramyb shirt I actually like? I don't know what to do with myself, I think this is the second? kudos ramy, the feel, and the balance actually work.
