NOT A VIDEO GAME REFERENCE!

TMNT were comics first, then cartoon then game then movie!

Bad call imo.

Re: A Dangerous Concoction

hey ramyb, could u put a jar of mayonnaise on blue or red for the next derby entry?

id rather vote for that than this.

at least then i could say, this is a jar of mayonnaise by RAMYB. and i would be proud.

im being serious.

I see that the thought bubble is somehow ambiguous. The intention is that the panda tries to justified eating the egg by arguing eggs are not chicken.

I could not find the not-equal-to sign anywhere in all my computer fonts and had to draw it manually. And I see people got away with arrows this week. Personally I think arrows are more qualified as "text".

Hey, thanks for pointing that out; the JPG is from a slightly earlier version before I caught the two slightly different yellows.



This is what's in the final ai:

Pantone Red 032 C (Vermillion)
Pantone 2415 C (Purple)
Pantone 361 C (Lime Green)
Pantone 276 C (Dark Blue)
Pantone 309 C (Dark Cyan)
Pantone 115 C (Lemon Yellow)

(on black)


EDIT: Rejected anyway... Dang.

Re: Iron Chef

You're missing a shirt comp, so this won't get far. It's a clever idea, though, and is a pop culture reference that actually qualifies as parody.

Read through the derby rules and resubmit, please

Re: Almost Too Complicated

gmv! noodles first!

Re: Here I Come Warhol!!!

I absolutely LOVE this shirt! If it doesn't print you have to find a place to print it cause I really REALLY want it. I would definitely buy one.

Re: Forbidden BBQ

Even if this didn't suck, the black outline wouldn't show up on a brown shirt.

Re: Flame Broiled

Love the linework, great choice of colors and funny. Who could resist? This should be soaring up the charts. GMV.

Leahbh wrote:You knew would be.[sic]

Hmm, not really.

This is just my second derby. I wasn't sure what to expect. People interpret rules differently, and I was on a different end than the woot judges.

No biggie, I'm learning.

Re: Soul Food - resub

I very much want this shirt! I love the colors and I love her expression. For the pyro in all of us ;)

Chances are I didn't jump into a cauldron of green goop and summon a fire dragon while doing it either. Do you realize how moronic you sound trying to state that this is a perfectly commonplace way to cook soup or anything else for that matter? Crawl just a little bit out of ramy's ass and you might be able to see the design a little better.

What we have here is a witch, with a spellbook, casting a spell. There is no food in the design, implied, imagined, explicit or otherwise.

The best shirt in the derby as usual. Great job! GMV

Re: Maybe Mommy Won't Notice

Great shirt. Awesome design, I like shirts that use more than just the middle of the front. The shading is great, and the character is very expressive of the situation, i'd buy a few!!!

Re: The eggs have gone bad!!!

I like your style a lot!

rosekirby wrote:When I look at this, I don't see a jellyfish. I see the cauldron looking at its reflection and seeing itself the way it imagines itself. I love it!

I love your take on it! That makes it way better.

Re: Resub - ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

Changes:

Moved to the back of the shirt.
Added the microwave plate.
Shirt color now royal blue.

Ahhh, the childhood memories of putting marshmallows in the microwave...and the thrill of having them battle it out with toothpicks.

Re: Resub - ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

Oh, and don't eat them afterwards. Just a friendly suggestion

Where is this "new version"? Anyone care to share?

BTW, nice execution!

I am sorry but I dont get the reference. Is it from a movie?

Nice color choice. But I personally will not wear this shirt...

grldollies wrote:Over all I like your design the best of all (foot fixed of course), so many are just too gross. Thier is a difference and a fine line between thoughtful provocative ideas and twisted thinking gone amok!
One thing that may help make the design pop a little more – is to use a little heavier black outline mostly on the dragon & his back scales, wings ect. So. . . that the green is better defined against the green shirt. Also you may want to think about putting it on a medium blue shirt, a better contrast.

Thanks for the compliment and the suggestions. I think this late in the game we'll probably be leaving it, but we're in a constant state of learning.

A lot of those suggestions will help for things to think about in future derbies.

One of these days we'll hit the right derby. Until then I suppose it's just a matter of practicing.

Not arguing your point against you, but why haven't you posted this complaint on other designs that do the same thing? You seem to be so determined to police the theme and a little bias, why are you only arguing this in here?

Your technique is superb. Beautiful border and gloss!

Maybe it should be smaller on the shirt? I am not so sure about the composition.

You can appeal the REJECTED. I suggest you do b/c you should at least get the chance to see how many votes you would have gotten.

Great design. Clever and well executed.

That is true. I didn't want it to be any more than a shadow. The snake is pretty sweet when you see it up close.

Fair enough that it looks terrible. It doesn't even work well on a shirt. But hey, I just taught myself inkscape a couple weeks ago. This is my third design (the previous two REALLY sucked). I hope my next one only "half leaps into the vacuum". And someday maybe "mostly doesn't suck". Yankeebird, it is up to you to keep track of my suckiness factor.

yankeebird wrote:Even if this didn't suck, the black outline wouldn't show up on a brown shirt.

Also, you should rate the comparative suckiness of my peep shirt ("Are you not entertained?").

Haha. I am amused by your word

Great design though. I would definitely buy it if it is on a different color shirt and the root part is better executed.

But they are so delicious when they are cruchy. Nom nom. =D

Definitely not a video game reference. Everyone knows the game was made after the series. Pointless rejection.

The only time I ever saw them demutate into normal turtles was in the video games to show 'death'. Did that ever come up in the comics or series? I don't remember

Re: Vegetarian Dilemma

Vegetarians don't have a problem with eggs. Vegans do but vegetarians do not.

I like the shirt though.
