The text here is NOT incidental sadly.

If you get it printed elsewhere let me know b/c I know some chem people who would love this shirt.

Thanks for the headsup.
OK, I thought I was good with it-
What does incidental mean, exactly?
I thought if the text was part of the design, like a letter on a plane or a compass rose or something like that it was fine.
And yeah, in the future, I'll probably print most of my designs, so...

* Penguins with jetpacks is clearly a reference to the Club Penguin game by Disney.
* ET has been in several self-titled video games, such as "ET" on both Atari and Playstation. ET crashing is clearly a reference to the Atari version of ET being so bad it crashed the entire video game industry for a while. (Look it up.)
* A jetpack is clearly a reference to the game "Jetpack" released in 1993 by Software Creations, or to the game "Jetpac" released in 1983 by Ultimate Play The Game.
* Heli-packs have been featured in the Ratchet and Clank video game series. Clearly, that can't be allowed.
* An origami crane is obviously a reference to the game "Minagara Oresu DS Origami" by TDK on Nintendo DS.
* Flying whale and birdS? Clearly a reference to "Die Fail Whale", at diefailwhale.com, which features both birds and whales.
* Rodent strapped on a firecracker? Hasn't anyone played "Rocket Weasel Game", playable at flasharcade.com? It features a very similar rodent strapped to a very similar firecracker rocket.
* Birds flying? A lone tree on the left? Clearly a reference to "Duck Hunt", isn't it?
* Blue birds singing on a electric wire? Obviously referencing the classic "Singing Bird Game" on funflashgames.com.
* A floating land mass? Does this look remarkably like the floating continent from Final Fantasy VI (FF3 in the states) to anyone else?
* A boy floating with red balloons? Hasn't anyone played the NES classic, "Balloon Fight", which has boys floating holding red balloons?

Therefore, in the interest of fairness, Woot must reject nearly ALL of the top contendors for this derby. They are all clearly video game references.

Your welcome.

Well done!
I know it's already rejected but for the future can we not just appreciate the art submitted and let the rejections be done by the rejectionator?

Incidental means that your design can't be dependent on the text to work. Like all rejections, it's fairly arbitrary, so you may or may not be rejected.

I had no idea whatsoever that it was your design, until I noticed you responding to comments about it

Good job, I love seeing something new from artists week after week.

Aw yay, I'm glad you checked it out. I'm not trying to be sneaky but I tend to get that a lot... =D

I have found my new favorite shirt.woot artist.

Re: A Prickly Landing

This is cool because it's so simple, yet very expressive. I love the line weights you have going on.

Re: Flying Pucker

+1

Just to remind everyone:

Thank you so much, I use a brush pen for all of the thick lines. Very useful for getting line weights minus some of the problems regular brushes have. No ink bottles to spill over. =P

Hmm... I think that's a stretch for this one, I've always seen the element symbols as self-contained designs, so it'll be interesting to see what happens...
Thanks for the input!

Re: Flying Fish V.2 (Bottom Placement)

Version 2 of flying fish with a bottom placement.

Feedback and votes appreciated.

Thank you!

I'm a sucker for cats, and this is using kitties in a fun and different way... Nice job!

Heh, she's making fun of my taste in music... it's actually a reference to a Miley song. (too much references!)

Heh heh, I loves weird kitties... for example here's an image I drew of a cat puking kittens. I also did an image of a mouse that lives inside of a cat.

Re: Flying Fish V.2 (Bottom Placement)

This one is more dynamic than the other version. I like it.

Re: Something I Must Do

So long and thanks for all the... fish?

Great colors in this

Re: Flying Fish V.2 (Bottom Placement)

Ok sorry, once more...

Version 2 of flying fish with a bottom placement.

Feedback and votes appreciated.

Re: Your Time to Fly

I'm in for one.

Re: Flying Fish V.2 (Bottom Placement)

This does look a lot more interesting than the previous version. The fish really looks like he's "flying" now, and it's great that he's larger on the shirt too.

Ooh. I like this much better.

Re: Grand Battle of Flightless Birds V.2

I was quite pleased with the design, so I decided to work it out with some differnt color edits, based on some of the suggestions I received on the original.

I switched one of the grays out for a second brown color to help bring the kiwis out in their full glory.

If you were on the fence with my original, perhaps this version will do the trick.

Heres the 2 compositions for comparison:

ORIGINAL:


VERSION 2:


and here is a link to a large composition of version 2.

Thanks again everyone.

Re: Flying fish

I was thinking of doing a bottom placement anyway, so since it was suggested a few times as well, here it is:

Re: Flying Fish V.2 (Bottom Placement)

Re: The Joy of Flight... almost

Heheh, this is really cool! Love the expression of the birdy!

Re: Flying

Whoa! This is really nice! Nice work!

Re: Your Time to Fly

this is unoriginal, reject this

Re: Cheese Cracker!

Very amusing and really awesome! I like how that shoelace is used!

Re: Time to Fly, Little One

This reminds me of those "My Magic Pony" commercials...

everything definitely has more definition.

love it and GMV

Re: Flightless No More

Hahaha, I bet outer space will be their final forntier!

Re: improbable flight

This one probably won't make it off the ground.

Re: improbable flight

Did you know that octopi have six arms and two legs?

Oh good! Thanks xazothia.

Thanks theinvisible, glad you like it better!

Re: Grand Battle of Flightless Birds V.2

I like the original better. The new more saturated colors push the ship too far into the foreground for me. The other one has a better atmospheric perspective.

xazothia wrote:Did you know that octopi have six arms and two legs?

Thanks for the great link. I did not know. I needed more legs here to show what a pain the shoes were anyways. I also enjoyed face palming the forehead with a leg as opposed to an arm.

Re: Given to Fly

This is an awesome concept, very original. I love that the colors of the hang glider are so bright against the grey. I do not like the heather grey shirts very much normally, but I do love this and I would buy it! GMV!

Re: Flightless No More

Oh man, adorableness, and I am always a fan of your work! I would definately buy this! Is it on asphalt? I think the navy would have been a great choice as it would have made the blues very rich, but heh, either way. I am not one to mince on shirt colors. I love it, gmv!

Re: Flying

coool. i really really like this.

odysseyroc wrote:Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm so slammed with deadlines right now, I don't know what I was thinking on the first one. I took a nap, went out to dinner with my wife and then it all became clear to me.

heh, sometimes that happens... a litle time away, and then 'bam!'. Great job with it, I didn't really like the original, but this one looks super.

Btw, I saw you commented on my Flying Fish V.2, but I ended up resubmitting (changed the comp a little), so please check it out again!=)

Re: Red Flew

This is a great addition to the derby, it's a design like no other here. Even my boyfriend, who is extremely picky, likes this shirt (and voted!).

HalfWheat wrote:I think it's funny that people are arguing where yetis and polar bears live, but are blithely accepting penguins with goggles, scarves and helmets.

Part of the charm of this is the nonsense factor. As far as the rejection, I can see the logic. If so many people were reminded of the game, then it's probably enough of a game reference.

Polar bear's good. Panda would have been even more incongruous.

Myself, I think a few people were reminded of the game and were very vocal about it, resulting in other people looking up the game. I'm a netaholic, and I've never even heard of that game until that thread; it sounds like it's a piddly little flash game, I don't see how that can even factor into a contest like this.

Yes, that is a cat behind him. i should have put a little close up. glad you noticed it though!
