I'd actually love to see this as a desktop wallpaper, hah!

How is it not? Cauldrons are commonly used to cook things, as well as the heat applied at the bottom of the cauldron.

This is awesome! Mac n' Cheese eternal! Zombie noodles walk the plank!

Re: Bagel Bears

Who knew? Bears and I have more in common then I thought! I love bagels and cream cheese too, haha

Re: cute feast

Hahahaha, this is excellent. I love the evil rabbit's yellowed and broken teeth!

I like the way the lightening really stands out against the darker, more muted tones.

Re: The Creation

That cake looks yummy, but talk about a bad hair day.

Re: It Tastes Deadly

I like the little details like the frog in her hand and the spiders on her cauldron handle and under her stool. Really nice touches to a cute design!

GMV, and money if it wins.

Re: Zombie's Lament

Too bad about the other similar designs. This is a really great illustration!

Re: And two eggs slightly beaten

heh heh heh, I like it

Re: Desperate Times

pretty hilarious. I think it's oddly shaped

Re: Hot Date

hahahaha, I love that the left one is wearing a bikini. This is really well done!

Thanks. Coming from you I take that as a huge compliment. I really dig your work.

Re: Whip It Good

The idea was much better in my head...

I wish he would resub. It'd make a great shirt and I'd definitely vote for it, and probably buy it, too. I usually like your designs, but I wouldn't consider wearing this one as it is now(crass).

Re: The Essential College Shirt

Ok, i just graduated in may and I had no flipping clue you could actually do this. watching the films is wronf with me.

Nbr8sGirl wrote:Nope, that's pretty much what you always say about Ramyb's designs.

Actually, I did forget something. The design doesn't make any sense. As someone stated earlier, the only way this makes sense is if the witch is cooking herself. Applying heat to something is not cooking unless the end result is that someone is going to eat the end result. Is the cat going to eat her?

There is nothing going on is this design that has anything to do with cooking. So to speed the discussion to the point where the rabid ramy fans still try to defend his designs lets just skip to the part where you say, "I don't care that it isn't on topic, I'm going to vote for it anyway."

If you would still like to pretend it's on topic answer these questions. What food item is in this design? How is it being cooked? Who is going to eat it? I would love to hear the nonsense people can come up with.

Keep in mind there is absolutely no room for ambiguity in the write-up for the derby. They want designs about foods being cooked.

Re: Whip It Good

That's not enough whipped cream -- you can still see the pie.

No animals were harmed in the creating of this shirt. The artist does not endorse cruelty to animals in any form.

However the bunny does need to go.

Re: Spite

Out of curiosity, Why are there four knobs on the front of the stove when there's only one burner?

...just wondering ;^)

Re: A Dangerous Concoction

I can see halftones in the steam/smog, but the woman in there looks like she's a gradient instead. Is she a teensy-weensy halftone? Can Woot print that and have it work? -seems awfully small to me.

Re: The Pie Tells the Truth

The game Portal and "Cake is a Liar" has tainted all pastry and bake goods design everywhere.

I could have called it "I like to make pumpkin pies" but that would be boring. I thought, "Hmmm, my pie would never lie. It would only tell the truth of yummy goodness that is the pumpkin pie."

True, if any of us had a piece carved out, we would not be smiling. But we are not pie and those guys enjoy the pain. It is a fetish for them.

Thank you all for the support, comments and votes! If you like it tell others!

The new Pearl Jam is interesting. The New Muse is . . . lacking newness

Technically, you are correct. However, that use of the word is no longer accurate due to colloquial use and perversion. That would be like trying to use a word like "find" to mean "provide." While that used to be an accepted use of the word, (see Moby pretzel twist Ch. 13), it is no longer applicable.

If you were to make a shirt for a theme of "Finding," and depicted a person giving another person something they needed, it would make no sense because language constantly changes.

Besides that, I think this is a miserable shirt that will print terribly.

Atsu wrote:Good idea, but it isn't portrayed/carried out very well. Just looks like cannibalism to me.

I'm sorry to say this, but I hope someone can pull this off a little better. Would definitely be in for one. :]

(Oh, and you spelled "Soylent" wrong on the image and thumbnail)

Yeah I know, didn't mean to.

I've never seen the movie, just a clip at the end and they never show people actually getting ground up or anything... They just magically turn into green post-it looking things.

While I agree that a touch of gold, and subtle differences would be great improvements, the thing that really kills it for me is; wasn't the original a horizontal piece. Changing it to a vertical makes it just a bit to far removed for my taste.

Re: Let's bake a cake!

Is this whole cake plan really a good idea? I mean, really, if everyone jumps in the bowl, are you going to jump in the bowl, too? The answer: Heck, yes!! The cake is great and good and nutritious. [The cake is a liar!]

Re: Spite

Very nice... Totally got my vote!

Thanks for your support as always Mister Drakxxx!

And, spoiler alert for Studio1172...I do NOT have creepily long fingers, maybe a little slender but for the most part average:p

I have to admit this one does seem like self-parody at this point. Although if it’s intentional, that almost makes it better...


...almost.

Re: tonight I dine

Awesome art (love the colors), but I'm too much of a Turtles fan to want the Shred-Head to be winning.

Re: More Meat Please

Sigh. I like dishes with all of those meat products in them, but you made the animals so cute, that I don't want to see them in the frying pan. Pout. Can you put them in a different design?

Re: RE-SUB: Early morning tragedy

I like it a LOT better now

Re: Bagel Bears

@lindab - thanks! With the eyes, is there anything you'd particularly like them to look like? I was trying different kinds and this seemed to work the best on these bears.. all black looked scary, all white looked dead, white with black pupils looked toooo cartoony dopey, finally this seemed to fit the rest of the design the best.

Thanks scruffyduck! And I like your username;)

truffleshuffle wrote:Who knew? Bears and I have more in common then I thought! I love bagels and cream cheese too, haha

hehe yup. Me too! I was craving them so much when I was making the design and all night when I was trying to submit it! Unfortunately I'm out of bagels. I think I'm going to have pita and cream cheese now that I'm back to thinking about it!

Re: fresh roasted

Make the kid french, put it on a mocha colored shirt and call it French Roast.

I also think it is nice as is.

Re: The Pie Tells the Truth

Video game reference aside, it is still just a piece of food.

There is nothing cooking here.

Re: tonight I dine

TMNT is also a video game in addition to all the other forms. I don't think this would be considered a video game reference. Sure if he had done it with 8bit turtles and shredder then it would have been.

However the biggest issue is whether or not it will have a copyright issue (Shredder). I am not sure if it will, but you never know what the REJECTED stamp is thinking.
