The Woot works in mysterious ways.

Maybe no one has officially "tattled on this". Maybe Woot doesn't even read through the posts. Who knows.

And that example that someone else posted as similar is NOT. In that one, ET stole the bike and pushed elliot off, in this one, they both crash into the moon, not similar at all. And as for your similar colors argument, it's a freakin' moon and sky, what other colors were they supposed to use?
You all just don't like this shirt and wanted it rejected. Well, you got your wish, now go tattle on the jetpack shirt.

Leahbh - I "FAIL" to see why you are such an avid defender of Radiomode.

If two t-shirt designs look similar at a passing glance...then they are way too similar. Changing the position/activity of the characters is not enough to create a significant distinction.

The original design is for sale on a well known T-SHIRT site. Do you really think people on a website for t-shirt design aren't going to be aware of current designs in THE SAME MARKET? Budi Kwan participates in a TON of t-shirts competitions and sells to multiple sites. Its incredibly hard to beleive that Budi accidentally created something that looks just like a featured design on another site. A more likely scenario is that he saw the design and figured he could change it just enough to pass for different...I guarantee you the original designer would be pissed.

As for other colors an artist might make the moon? My answer is, any color.

P.S. Don't bother responding with your typical defense, "Its just a t-shirt." We've been over that.

Re: Fairy Splat!

I love it. GOOOD LUCK!

Lagbert wrote:Huh? Why would dandelions be grounds for rejection?

Just google, "Dandelion shirts" and you can see why. Also, there have been shirts submitted in a derby by Jasneko that were rejected for this same concept, so unfortunately, the hammer should fall on you as well.

Re: Fail

had a feeling this would be rejected. was hard to believe this had not been done before.

i'm not defending the artist, I'm defending the design. I mostly don't even look at the artists, I vote for shirts I'd buy. But woot needs to use the same rules for everyone. If they reject this, they need to reject the jetpack shirt which has been done on threadless and countless other sites. it's ridiculous. It's stupid and woot s u c k s! I'm getting very close to being done with this site and their "rules". I'm not giving them anymore of my money.

Re: Your Time to Fly

well it seems like this shirt wont get rejected. there are some similar designs out there, but right now im thinking this would be kind of cool to wear, so GMV

and im 100% sure woot has looked at this design, it being in the fog and all. if they havent had time or something they will for sure

Re: Flying Fish V.3 (Watercolor on white)

oooh! This is great Jasneko -- I feel like the style is a little different from your usual designs, but I love it. It has that watercolor effect that is really appropriate for your theme/design. :D GMV!

Re: Sky Fishing

Nice design all the way around, good luck.

Re: Yea, like we'd fall for that again...

Lol, not a fan of the black line around the image on the shirt though.

Cryzabey wrote:Sorry, but a cool back shirt is comparable to a cool fanny pack.

haha yeah i have to agree with that. also, similar shirts exist, so i think this should be rejected so more creative designs can fog

Re: Turkey Take Off!

Lol, reminds me of the Adams Family movie during their play at summer camp :-)

Re: Grandma's Gonna Be Mad

anything in the fog that gets rejected , woot has a meetng about it,so wait till tomorrow cause that serve beer in their meetings, and they last all day. so only one per day. wait.

Unfortunately this may not print here, if it gets printed elsewhere be sure to let us all know!

Re: Flying

If this doesn't print on woot please let us all know where we can buy this elsewhere!

Re: Something I Must Do

The funny thing is--when I first looked at this shirt I thought that the skyfish was coming to save/take away the waterfish. It wasn't until I started reading the comments that I reviewed it and saw the sorrow element. Anyway...still love it. Maybe I'm dumb.

mjl9320 wrote:if the cat was in a superman pose, then yes.

so by that logic this isn't on theme because the fish aren't in a superman pose, nor is the fisherman, nor is the floating island.

as ramy stated it is on theme because of the vague rules of this particular derby. regardless, i still like the design, but you are still an id10t.

atomiccate wrote:i really like the concept and squirrel/flying machine, but i don't care for the tree. it looks like an afterthought and doesn't add to the composition, IMO... but the idea is really cute.

I like the tree, definitely intended for it to be there, but looking at it more I'm considering resubing with some falling leaves and a nest in the top, but I doubt I'll have time :/

Beer! That explains everything. I think I'll go have a beer now. It also fixes everything.

you may be pissed but fact is, this shirt was similar in alot of ways to the other.
Sure the concept was different, but it Had rejection all over it from the start.

which leaps into the vacuum because I loved it.

as for the Jetpack. give it time. it "should" get the boot too I don't see how the rejectionator would miss that one.

It had rejection written all over it from the start? Then why didn't shirt.woot reject it before it became so popular? It's ridiculous allowing everyone to get hyped about it for days THEN rejecting it.

Re: Higher

I based it on the saying "the skys the limit"

Oldyeller89 wrote:vectors/pictures, copyright, text, disregard for the rules etc...

But not everyone did that.

Also, I wouldn't exactly say the shirts are extremely similar to warrant a rejection. ESPECIALLY since that jetpack shirt is still there.

Re: Fail

Resubmit and add some chibi animals, THEN I guarantee woot won't reject it

Re: Fail

oh man, it got rejected?? WHY?????

This design is also about 100x more on topic as most of what you submit which is why you get flak and others don't.

That said, I can potentially see where someone would be coming from saying this is off topic but there's only really one argument and no one has made it. That argument would be that the writeup is prompting for things which are inherently grounded unless they are flying. Plane has to take off, bird has to flap its wings, etc. Everything that is "flying" in this design seems pretty permanently in the air. However, it takes an incredibly about of creative interpretation to get that kind of specificity out of what woot wrote and that position is just wrong anyway.

The fish move through the air. Arguably the island moves through the air (the chimney indicates it does, the fishing line indicates it doesn't). There's plenty of flight here. Saying this isn't flight because the island is floating is akin to arguing that any design that shows the ground isn't about flight either. There is no controversy which is why you aren't seeing any, jabberjaws.

I guess we know what to expect on Teefury in 60 days.....

Re: Your Time to Fly

I'm really surprised this hasn't been rejected yet.....

All aboard the fail train! woot! woot!

Re: Grand Battle of Flightless Birds

I love the illustration, it's witty and well done, personally though it seems a bit busy for a t-shirt.

Re: Leonardo Da Vinci's cat

This is awesome! Would totally vote if I could!
