I'm kind of disappointed this didn't do fantastically, I love this. It's very well done.

Cutest. Thing. Ever. I love his huge eye peering out of the tree trunk.

It's apparent that you put a lot of thought in executing it and you're proud of it. That's good, but the crappy thing is that's all irrelevant if the concept has already been done--even if you didn't know it. I know it's hard to let go of it, but once you found out it had been done, the best thing would have been to not submit it. You're a great artist Blam. There will be plenty more opportunities for you do something awesome again and it be all your own.

You are wise in your ways and eloquent in your language, loopy. Quoting for truth, as this is exactly how I feel. As for you, Blam, I love your work and have voted it up many a time but--while I like this one--I just can't bring myself to vote for it given the circumstances.

And, once again, I'm just kind of ashamed of the rejectionator.

This is the first time I've voted in a derby. I keep coming back to this design. It is beautiful. I think the grey pattern in the background is perfect; it suggests motion and create deeper intrigued.

Hey! You want your eyes to get stuck like that?

I agree. I like this shirt a lot, but after visualizing myself with this shirt on, I'm afraid that it might look more like a fish returning from the epic odyssey rather than embarking on one, especially with the bottom fish's "arms" open in welcome. The title adds a lot of emotion that otherwise isn't conveyed as clearly in the art. But I guess the fun part will be telling the story to curious people. =)

I dunno. If someone asked me to explain a piece of clothing, I'd probably just say that it means whatever you want it to mean. Unless I'm trying to strike up a conversation. Then this could be an easy thing to talk about.

Re: Fail

Somehow it didnt surprise me. The only time I didnt get rejected were the time I didnt have any chance of winning.

Let's see if I can get this someway printed.

Re: Jets

Amazing design and texture. The simplicity is just phenomenal. 5 stars from me!

Thanks Walmazan!

Re: Leonardo Da Vinci's cat

Get in the fog! And Stay there. I want!

Re: The wrong type of wings

Parody? Heck, this is a very well-crafted warning label!

....The first rule of flight club is that you do not talk about flight club.

Let me know if you do, I'd buy it. Obviously.

Re: Red Flew

Very cool image captured in "wild" slashes and strokes. +1

IS there gradient trouble? Or are we seeing smart blending-use of solids grays and black? Can't tell at this scale (or maybe it's at this hour).

Also, wondering, is there a story or reference connected to the image and/or "Red Flew" title?

I know I've said this, but I must say it again.
I NEEDS TO OWN THIS SHIRT!!

....I can not believe that this much awesomeness can be in one image.

Also, it reminds me of this video:

I know it's kindof a stretch, but still.

It's true. With me, every week is pun week. Or at least, pun-esque. =)

Re: Weapons Upgrade

I love this

Hahaha very funny. I like the style fits with the dragons vs. unicorn cliché. And a nice way to use the flight theme.

Madagascar anybody?

I like it anyway.

color combination is epic.

Good Grief, I think I'll stop reading comments from now on.

Re: Sky Fishing

wow, im glad this made it into the fog.

lets see if it stays...

Re: Fantasy of the Flightless Birds

Dude how cool is that?

Re: Lon and Mr. C visit god.

Your art always captivates me and makes me smile huuuuuuuugely!

Currently thinking of Lon & Mr. C and their adventures as polar opposites to Dante & Virgil, and possibly in another dimension.

Oiaoeiaheioeo <3


I want this sososososo much.

I believe it is worth mentioning that this is a Pegasus Unicorn. Alternatively, a pegacorn or a unisus.

....Which is more badass than a just a unicorn or just a pegasus, because it has wings like a pegasus and the horn of a unicorn.

See:

Unicorn:
Note the horn.

Pegasus:

Note the wings!

Pegacorn / Unisus / Unicorn Pegasus:

Note both the wings, and horn!
This makes it twice as good as a normal horse.

This is a quality post

Yes, that's exactly what it appears to be.

Re: THIS SIDE UP

Gotta admit I totally did this as a kid after watching this one Rugrats episode where they used boxes...LOL

This rejected but the no the jetback? Geez, How drunk is the rejectionator during the weekdays?

Let me know, too! I was excited for this.

Re: Something I Must Do

This reminds me of an old Gary Larson Far Side Joke... it's cute.

Re: Stay Grounded

I hope this gets to the top... as many band nerds have said it's a great musical joke shirt

Re: The new guy

I love the color. I have very fair skin and I love cream color against it. I am a huge origami fan, so I would definitely buy this shirt if it wins.

Re: Red Flew

Wow!

I just wandered over here to the derby, and this was the very first thumbnail I clicked on...and voted for.

ZombieGorilla wrote:While I do think it is a nice design, it is frustrating how inconsistent rejections are.

first you have to look at HOW rejections are voted on by woot. first criteria:
* will this make money for woot.
* is this a design by ramy or saki.
* did we pass around enough beer.(after three, vote for thee)
* is my hat on backwards?
* what time is it?
* have we printed this designer before?
* oh god remember derby #59 oh no let it go...pass.

moxie36 wrote:Nice concept, although you may want to show the detail by making the design larger with a small shirt comp in the background, kinda helps. I had a little trouble being able to tell the cat in the tree at first. But made me laugh!

Yeah I'll keep that in mind for anything I do in the future. It's not as detailed as I would have liked, though. Oh well. Next time.

Re: Bats!

I like it. Batman meets Fruity Pebbles.

AdderXYU wrote:So if it's popular, it shouldn't be rejected?

I guess I see why you wanted a shirt called "FAIL".

Are you stupid? I said it should've been rejected ages ago before they let it become popular to save people the annoyance. I didn't say it shouldn't be rejected at all, shirt.woot were just terrible about it.

So yeah, well done for not being able to read then doing a dumb insult?

Hmm I was thinking drakxxx when I saw the thumb on the derby page.

too bad.....i liked this one.
