Shirt.Woot

Re: Don't cry over me.

Great illustration! I'm not sure I can wear that shirt color, but I like your style.

Re: Cloudy...chance of rain

Everybody feels blue sometimes...

Re: The Old Blue Whale

It appears you took a page out of Edgar's water color book, huh?

I think I like this shirt. A lot. And for that: VOTED.

This is an amazing shirt! I love the colors, I love the idea, the drawing is perfect for the theme! It's all so wonderful.

I want this shirt.

You should move the thumbnail. I had no idea what it was supposed to b. It looked like a tornado, or something.

how is it rejected, it doesnt say it?

And the opening line of the derby description seems to justify simply featuring the color blue: "Are we talking about the color of light with wavelengths of roughly 440–490 nanometers?"

I don't see how something can be "about" the color blue other than simply featuring it. C'mon woot, you set yourselves up for a wide-open, free for all derby where the only real limitation was the shirt color of choice.

Likewise, this line pretty much confirms the same the same thing: "And whether you interpret the word "blue" in the subject matter, or make your design a study in the color blue, is up to you." If "I am become death, destroyer of worlds" was acceptable as an interpretation of a quote (and I was fine with that, for what it's worth), than this should be allowed to stand too.

And if this ISNT fine, for that matter, there had better be some damn brutal rejections coming with it.

Re: Cloudy...chance of rain

I like this one alot. Minimal and full of feeling. Good job. +1

Did you forget whom you were addressing in the middle of making this post?

Re: Night of the Blue Eyed Lemurs

Really cool design. I do very much like the highlighting you've done on this piece and how you utilized the colors to convey not only light and shadows but depth as well. Also a very nice job of integrating the design into the shirt.

Indeed. Pretty much any design that isn't a play on something with blue in its name (blue whale, blueberry, etc), that doesn't feature sad characters, or that isn't clearly constructed around blues music would probably have to face rejection. And there are quite of few of those, including three of the four fogged designs.

Thanks. There are some really good tutorials out there on halftones. Just google it. I haven't looked for them in a long time, but maybe someone nice will come along and give you a link to one as well.

Re: Dance of the Deceased

I am broke as all hell right now, and if this prints I will definitely be picking it up for ten bucks. However you seem to be getting ultimately screwed lately, so I'm not getting my hopes up. You are getting my vote though.

I will also never understand what woot considers on or off theme. They are so inconsistent I've just given up.

;.; we were only given three choices, this is royal blue or whatev it was called, the navy was too dark and baby blue is too light (to mez anywayz)

its still real simple but ill votes for you anywayz! I love rainbows

Re: Blue Moon

I LOVE this. GMV. I would love for it to print.

Re: Blue Moon

Looks like chicken scratch on a shirt. DNW.

This goes perfectly with my major, so I think I have to vote for it.

Re: Blue Orchid

Bow chika bow wow....

Re: Night of the Blue Eyed Lemurs

Excellent job.

Ugh... why on baby blue?! Baby blue shirts just don't work with me. Love the design and would be all over this one if it wasn't on baby blue. Obviously some elements would have to change, but I'd love to see another version of this one.

It's nice to see somebody using the blues theme and not using JUST blue which I'm finding rather boring in most of the designs. Some of them are really cool designs, I'll give it that, but it wouldn't hurt to add a touch of another color.

Re: Cloudy...chance of rain

I wish it were a little smaller, but still a great job. +1

Don't think I'd wear this really, but I really dig the art work. Quality work for sure. Love the water color feel.

Big smile! Thanks, Reawen.

Blueberry pie... Blueberry pie!!

No text this week though.

Tons of tutorials on just about every program you would you use to design a shirt. I am not nice enough to link the exact one you need, but there you go.

Re: Big Blue: Resubmission

That outline isn't really on the shirt, right?

And also I think the design is a little small.

Re: Big Blue: Resubmission

I dig it! I like simple designs with classic t-shirt placements. Very good job.

AdderXYU wrote:I like how you took your generic glowy triteness, and melded it with your regular concept of overdone mythology, combining it all into a totally unwearable product. You always push boundaries.

Yet there seems to be an audience for this...

Personally, I don't see the appeal of this. You can probably do better than this. But for this design (I don't like saying this), but I agree with Adder.

Re: blue nuggets

I never knew the nuggety goodness were actually whole birds. So tasty!

Re: Don't cry over me.

Great work! The only part I don't like are the steps going up in the background. They seem to crowd the girl. +1

Re: Rainy Day

Good job. I didn't see the original, but I like this one alot. +1

Re: Riding the Cosine Wave

I like it. Yup, I do. +1

Re: Earth Juice

Amazingly good job on the illustration! +1

can you do halftones on photoshop elements 6? or do i need a more updated version?

Re: Two Great Blues - V2

I like this version better. Good job! I have tried to do crayon designs in the past, and never good the right feel. Yours looks just right. +1
