Re: Arose from the Dead

You two make a good team. Your styles mesh really well together. Good luck to you, it looks like you're well on your way to the top.

Re: Guerilla Gorilla resub

Yay!

Indeed.

I think the issue comes down to too many people taking the stance that "Puns are so popular, everything's already been done!" and not pushing deeper to get something new. When some seemingly obscure puns are still well-covered territory, people need to push even harder, instead of presuming that their piece will be spared solely for the widespread nature of puns.

It may be early to speculate with nothing really rejected (woot is nothing if not fickle), but this could be an extremely brutal week if approached fairly.

Nevermind the fact that the one you linked blows chunks in terms of design quality. tgentry's has more character than that one could ever have.

What he said. It's not a matter of doing what's never done before, but taking something and making it fresh and better than it's been done before. Boots' Assault and Battery is a good example of that. Familiar concept with a new spin.

Better visually. I made no comment on the copyright.

Re: Sperm Whales Make Great Seamen

Oh no you didn't... XD Fffff.. I can't handle this.

Re: Jail Birds

Definitely the best entry so far, in terms of being equal parts inspired and well-executed. I really want to see this print. GMV

Re: Getting The Bare Facts

Whoops...my first time submitting a design without my friend's help. Somehow the submission with the template did not show up correctly although it looked fine when I sent it. Any suggestions on what I did wrong? Thanks in advance.

Re: Melon Collie

Did you know that certain dogs have depressive tendencies?

hahaha, i want one.

Re: Tyrannosaurus Wrecks

i love it!

Re: Arose from the Dead

Amazing!

Re: Sperm Whales Make Great Seamen

these guys are hysterical!

Re: Arose from the Dead

i think that's clearly a trap myself

Re: Box Turtles

Really like the turtles and the placement. Definitely gmv.

Re: Sperm Whales Make Great Seamen

hahaha awesome, GMV. perfect amount of obviousness. doesnt scream nasty like it has the potential of doing, and if someone gets it you know theyre cool. its also manly enough for a guy like myself to pull off.

unfortuantely though i have my doubts it will get enough votes. i only just bought my first shirts today and from looking around in the forums and seeing previous votes and what not im not sure it will, but hopefully im wrong
i want to buy three shirts in this derby, this one, the punch line, and elderberries one and none of them are in the fog :[

i do think it needs a big cannon in the rear though if you catch my drift, and the guy in the lookout can get the binocular thing ;)

BootsBoots wrote:Done!

"Sperm Whales Make Great Seamen"

YES! now everyone remove your votes from this one and go vote on spermwhales make great seamen (and elderberries, and punchline)

Resubbed again, and the nose looks 200% better!

Re: The Beetles V3

I like the insects on this one better than v2, but I like the simplicity of v2 better. The trees don't really add anything for me.

Re: Power Plant

Beautiful. I love the effects & the colors.

Re: Computer Mice

i'm guessing the middle one has cheese, but it almost hides away from the roller on his stomach. plus it'd be interesting if it was a computer chip.

"Anime (アニメ), an abbreviated pronunciation in Japanese of "animation"... is animation originating in Japan."
-Wikipedia, 'Anime'

My shirt image is not an animation, but thanks for the thought there.

Re: Tyrannosaurus Wrecks

drat, a fourth shirt from this derby i want

Re: Backwards Anatomy (Resub 2)

"Some people's noses and feet are built backwards: their feet smell and their noses run."

This is a Resub of Backwards Anatomy (Resub). I completely redid the nose. Now it should look more like a nose.

Hope you like it!

Re: Nose Hares

some damn amazing illustration there!

Re: Tyrannosaurus Wrecks

Best laugh out loud shirt of the derby so far, it has my vote.

Re: Getting The Bare Facts RESUB

My resub does now show a shirt although still not exactly correct. Thank you for any suggestions.

Re: Rugrats

Rugrats.

This is an idea that Bassanimation gave me a few months ago that I'd been working on making into a painting. I'd stalled on the image for awhile until this derby came up. I really happy I was able to finish this version for Woot and hopefully I can finally do the same for the painting.

I hope you all like it.

Re: Chick Flick

AWESOME!!! Even my wife laughed.

Re: Punch Line

this shirt is great, but its fallen to fifth place in my personal rankings now, behind sperm whales make great seamen, nose hares, tyrannosaurus wrecks and elderberries

Re: Punch Line

Why isn't this in the fog anymore?! I can't believe box turtles and computer mice are ahead of this

Re: Brain Food

Okay, I realize that this is a bit silly. But since Woot just printed a shirt where a kid's brain is removed for a jack-o-lantern, I think this should be legal too. IE- there are certain cultures that eat brains regularly. And as satire to a popular cartoon tuna.

Braiiinnnnnzzzz..... in a can!

Re: Play on Words

Thank you all for the lovely comments!

bethlehemstarr wrote:Does anyone else see the number of votes this has?

All afternoon I've seen this as in the fog- but instead of a '?' I can see 3-something-something votes.

Am I delusional...? It's really throwing me for a loop.

Yep. I actually wanted to see if there were any comments about that. WOOPS!

This is a sweet design. I love the idea!

Fat animals just make me sad.
