Shirt.Woot

mrwednesday wrote:That's not a concept because it's not in the design. This is one thing you and ramy miss quite a bit. When your shirt has a concept that means that anyone should be able to see it without reading the title or some bs justification you're trying to present to excuse the fact that this is a direct lift of the tons of "cats in jack-o-lantern" shirts. It also means that most if not all should be able to see the concept themselves.

I completely agree. What's even worse is that Seki has pulled off shirts with concept (as defined above) in the past. For example Imposter is a shirt with cute animals for sure, but it also has a concept that anyone looking at it can get without needing any kind of elaborate back-story. In fact, I looked at that shirt, chuckled because of the concept, and then made it my first Woot purchase. I really don't understand why Seki chooses to go back to the same cute, concept-less, designs despite being able to do something with more thought behind it. If the shirt somehow showed the "debate" that "may drive the viewer into madness" via an illustration of the viewer/carver then maybe arguing that this shirt has a concept would be justified. Without an illustration of the back-story, this is just a kitten in a pumpkin (which, as others have pointed out, has already been done time and time again).

Plus, why'd you have to make the title all cutesy-wootsy with Lolcats speak? It's just kind of gross.

AHAHAHAHA This is so awesome!

If only it glowed in the dark.

Re: Were-Pumpkin

Awesome art and concept, but the layout made me think it was supposed to be looking out a 4 panel window...

Re: Candy Corn Vs. Pumpkin

I really like the style...but it doesn't work. Both sides would have to deliberately NOT take the win/block in order to get this configuration, no matter who went first.

Sorry. I hate that I'm 'that person' who can't see past this.

Hey, I don't want to get rejected for using a copyrighted character. Let's say that it's "Gertie" wearing her "cowgirl boots," please!

Re: We Carves People

Good works as usual boots. I also like the changes and putting the scalp in. GMV

But the worst part is that if this doesn't get rejected I'm sure it will continue to be fogged. People obviously don't care and want the OH JESUS CUTE and don't care it's been run into the ground, or whatever the hell goes through one's mind when they vote for something like this. Or someone is getting their rocks off by voting for this and 'fueling the fire.' Look, I am a girl and I love my share of cute fuzzy things and lord knows I have squealed at my share of real kittens and puppies and baby animals and whatever the heck else but it gets OLD.

Either or. It still bothers me.

Super-cute Seki! I'd totally buy one for my GF.

GMV!

You don't have to wait you know - just go to the internet and search for "kitten in a pumpkin t-shirt". You'll be able to get your GF the same shirt right now - they're all over the place.

No, I agree. There are better ways to illustrate a tie/lose in tic-tac-toe then deliberately losing.

Re: RAWR! WE'RE MONSTERS!

Love it. Will buy it if it prints. The bats are a big plus since I live in Austin TX.

Re: Darn! Now we'll REALLY have to phone home!

Great as usual... I want one

Damn, you're right...maybe I will resub it later with a more plausible match for experienced players...but for kids, this happens all the time. ;)

Again with the name calling. It's really a shame people on these forums don't have any manners. Personally, I blame the parents.

Re: Zombeh Kittehz

If you take your kitty and pick it up so that they are walking on their back legs, they actually look a lot like this. The zombie walk, the eyes, the way their front arm-legs stick out. That isn't mean, is it?

Re: Nice Costume, Kid!

I love the thumbs up! it brings the whole thing together giving the ghost a purpose. also, it makes it very funny. i would def want one

One can only hope.

I love the concept!

Re: Trick or Treat!

My good friend jaynova came up with the concept.

Re: Ghost Stories

it reminds me of the bears one...but it's still hella funny

Oh KaseyFleming why do you rock so hard

Re: Ghost Stories

unfortunately because that bears shirt did just print, they might reject this.

I really like your drawing, but putting it in panels make it a little overwhelming. How about drawing the pumpkin transition in slow-motion like how some movies do it? Might be hard? But maybe it'll work?

anyways GMV!

Re: Darn! Now we'll REALLY have to phone home!

Hahaha...So which finger is E.T. throwing up there?

Re: Trick or Treat

A flaming bag of natures goodness, or a hand full of candy.... the choice is yours.

With the two pumpkins though that might not work. Since the last panel is sort of centered around the fact that pumpkin #2 turned into a were-pumpkin and killed his friend.

The pointer, of course. We are a respectable family establishment, here. Besides, E.T had four fingers. He doesn't have a middle one. ;)

Re: Vampyre

Happy Halloween everyone!

You don't mess around with this candy corn. Based on a 3d model by Chris Culpepper. Used with permission.

I don't get why the kitten isn't smiling. It's Halloween, shouldn't it be happy?

Actually, no - this is totally possible - i thought i remembered playing it out in my head:

1. Candy corn takes top right
2. Pumpkin takes the middle (thinking he is clever because he got the middle)
3. Candy corn takes bottom left
4. Pumpkin takes bottom right
5. Candy corn takes top left to block the Pumpkin and guarantee the win.
6. Pumpkin takes top middle, while cursing with the knowledge that on the next turn candy corn will win with middle left.

This is the trick I used to use all the time to win. Candy corn just legitimately outsmarted the pumpkin.

I will give you the benefit of this one but that is what it looks like at first glance. People aren't going to play that out in their head. All they'll think is: That's weird. They lost on purpose.

^ Agree!

Re: Demon Kiddee

I always laugh when I see little kids dressed up as monsters. This is in tribute to the kid inside all the tough guys and gals.

I'm disappointed how the colors show variations in the samples, here’s the list. Pantone Black 4c, 5467c, 411c, 433c, 504c, and 4485c. Shirt color: black.

Re: fangstival

I love the colors on this. Very good job. GMV.

Re: Vampyre

I really like this but it initially took me a few moments to find the outline of his face instead of a ton of bats. I knew it was there, just had to look for it.
