Re: Fantasy of the Flightless Birds

That is one valiant looking Kiwi.

Re: One Flight Per Customer RESUB

How dare you change this yeti to a polar bear and resub this. This is totally disrespectful to the woot community.


All kidding aside, this is no different from what seki did when she resubbed her tiger in pumpkin design.

Re: Lon and Mr. C visit god.

YES, it looked like it was you.

A shirt for the escapists.

Re: Your Time to Fly

I don't care how many other jet pack shirts are out there, I WANT THIS ONE!!!

Re: A Prickly Landing

cream?

ah.

Re: You ever been in a cockpit before?

Instead of reworking my Air Derby entry I decided to envision Otto's war service. In Airplane, Ted Striker flew in "the war". The planes looked like P-51 Mustangs to me, so that is what I used for Otto's... and decorated it to suit his tastes. Click here for a big version.

Re: Cheese Cracker!

too cute for me, but details are well done per usual.

Re: You ever been in a cockpit before?

By that grin on his face, I'd say he's just been inflated!

...and don't call me Shirley.

Like the shirt very much, and could instantly tell it was modeled after a clip winged spitfire. One thing though, P-40 is nicknamed the tomahawk or Warhawk. The P-51 is refered to as the mustang.

That aside, keep up the good work. Its great to see an awesome plane being submitted in this derby compared to the 1000s of bird tshirts that have been submitted.

Re: Dogflight

This gives new meaning to "dogfight," awesome!

In for one, though I almost wish we could see his face...

Re: Flying

This is great! I really hope the white line work shows up on the heather gray. You could barely see the smoke plumes on It Came Out Of Nowhere after it printed.

Re: A fly flying a dragonfly.

Re: You ever been in a cockpit before?

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!! I love how it's changed from the air derby.

Shirley made me crack up. :D I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

To the fog, please!

Respect +1000.

"Best font in the whole world" = intense laughter.

This is significantly more similar to the "I Like Candy" resub than the "mai pumpkin" resub.

If seki had resubbed with a different animal maybe. The equivalent to sekis resub would be if he just recolored the yeti brown to make it a sasquatch.

Regardless, seki's was rejected for similar shirts existing. This wasn't rejected for similar shirts existing, so all it has to do is not be similar to the game which it already wasn't and definitely isn't now.

The idea that penguins are coming to the north pole to get chucked by a polar bear is actually much more hilarious than the other anyway. You can see it on the polar bear's face. He's thinking, "Will these damn penguins just go away, no amount of fish is worth this."

Not true. Seki never addressed the issue that got her first design rejected: that it featured a cat in a pumpkin and thus was similar to existing shirts. The issue here was that there exists a flash game that involves yetis throwing penguins. Changing the yeti to a polar bear solves the problem. Similarly, there'd have been no issue if Seki had chosen a non felidae creature to replace the kitty.

Re: unnecessary precautions

I am not sure if hanging equals flying...

Re: You ever been in a cockpit before?

my reading of this has the noose made from a seatbelt. presumably one in an airplane.

the implications of this are tasteless at best.

Rules are rules, folks. What you want can't take precedence over the rules.

Re: One Flight Per Customer RESUB

The bear compliments the scene much better!

Rules that probably won't be enforced until monday, leaving this to fill up space in the fog, even though there were already plenty of examples of other shirt designs floating around before derby submission even began.

sigh.

I like the design. I'm just wishing for woot to be better about this.

I am SO sick of cute animals..

Funny thing is, this shirt is, for all intents and purposes, adorable. Not in a beady-eyed, cloying way, but because it's clever and that whale is so full of happiness that it gives me warm fuzzies.

Re: Cheese Cracker!

I really like this. The colors are wonderful, and the design is both cute on the surface, but also has some great little visual touches that really make it pop.

this shirt is so cool! who are you billratio?! you rock!

Ill be uploading a larger image in a bit.

Thanks for checking out my work.

Re: Flight Of Jatayu (Brown)

Cranberry is the pretty clear winner here, should I leave this up or take it down?

Re: Death Rain

haha i like this. GMV, but further consideration will be needed if it does print before i buy it

Re: You ever been in a cockpit before?

hilarious!

Actually, the yeti never throws a single penguin he hits them with a big icicle bat as they fall down on him from a cliff above his head.

Re: Fail

haha well it sure is a strict filter then. it was not a swear word AT ALL

i do find it ridiculous that the TMNT shirt linked got rejected for being a video game reference. TMNT is a cartoon, not a game. probably does exist some game of it though, but thats really thin. will be interesting to see what the reactions on this shirt are
