Oh wow. This is making me seriously consider doing some... scientific testing... to see which of my 10 cats would most tolerate wearing t-shirts. and then turn as many of them as possible into walking jetpack cats.

Great fun!

I think I love what you leave unsaid even more than I love what is on the canvas.

Both of you are correct

Re: Your Time to Fly

I would buy this in a heartbeat, it's a wonderful execution of a great (and popular!) theme. My steampunk friends would buy this in droves.

I do fear it may be in danger of the rejector :{. But that aside, fan-tastic job. I love this and would buy it in a store for sure.

Cats in jetpacks = X-treme!!!! (and, awesome!)

Re: fly

This is pretty neat.

Re: A Prickly Landing

I know it would end in sadness...bug I want to snuggle those cat-cusses... :D Glittering Mule Vicodin!!!

This is as good as a Jay-Z song!

Not remotely.

That's like saying Hamlet and Macbeth are the same play, because they both involve a crapload of death, murders of kings, and shakespearean english.

Re: Weapons Upgrade

This was a fun illustration to color. Alternative names include "Blazing Angel" and "the original blue angel." Hope you enjoy!

How about a pucker Icarus?

Re: Your Time to Fly

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

Re: The Joy of Flight... almost

the video is funny! pm'd you.

lol, awesome! And 10 cats too!!
In that vein, there are probably lots of cat halloween costumes on sale right now:D

The kiwi have the look of unfinished sketches that just sit on the shirt and blend into the background while the penguins pop out and are clearly distinct even with the scratches of blue showing through.

edit:

I think part of the problem as well is that the silver really blends in with the blue which may be making the blue patches seem larger.

i agree with this. i think the idea is epic, and the drawing in itself is fantastic. i think its great how your drawing has a certain sketch element to it so although it is a cartoon drawing, it doesnt look too cartoony and cutesy. those penguins and kiwis look like theyre badasses.

unfortunately what mrwednesday is saying is spot on, but if that could be fixes somehow this shirt would be perfect.

Re: Please fasten your seat belts, and remain calm....

so good, simple and clever!

and a design with a necklace on it is a clear reference to bejeweled.

Seriously, you guys need to get out more. The differences between this design and the game are staggering, despite the similarities.

I was waiting for you to chime in on this since you usually jump on people on people who you feel break the rules, and you're usually more strict than the rejectionator. I figure if you don't think it's a reference it's probably ok.

Re: Dogflight

The dog's teeth make me laugh. Nicely illustrated.

Re: Weapons Upgrade

Very nice! GMV

Re: When 3 Little Pigs Fly

This have a potential! I love the idea!

Re: Escape Hatch

Any visitors have any concrit for this entry before the derby closes up?

-------------------------
(To be printed on the shirt back—any way to get the print region higher on the shirt?)

An escape hatch (a la PJs and longjohns) that reveals an escape hatch (from the mundane realm of groundwalkers)...

Re: One Flight Per Customer

This design made me laugh

In regard to the controversy, I never heard of yeti sports so I checked it out.

The way I see it is that the Flash game has the penguins as the unwilling victims of the yeti. In Robbie's design, the penguins are initiating this event, even paying for it, and are dressed up and excitedly await for their first experience of flight. The intention is clearly not referential.

I hope the design survives so I can buy it and wear it!

Good luck, Robbie!

"O well, who wants to live forever? DIIiiiiive!"

Frickin sweet!

Re: Weapons Upgrade

Cool design! Is the plane based on the P-40?

Re: Makin' Bank !

Is Jayne in the sirplane, tossing the money?

Re: fly(ver.2)

ok you really are asking for it with this version.

Re: Fail

this is pretty cancellation i think. im pretty sure ive seen ET crashing like this somewhere before too, but i couldnt find the link.

Although it looks very simular to the P-40 Mustang, it is actually based on the British Spitfire. Thanks!

Maybe you're thinking of this one?

It's what I first thought of, but they should be different enough in concept. I'm not really a fan of pop culture shirts in general, however. Probably because I never get the joke. :/

Finley4 wrote:Oh they ran into the moon. That makes total sense and is hilarious because it's funny when people run into stuff. The reason this is getting votes is because, like Pavlov's dogs, some people have been trained to laugh whenever the Internets show them a picture with the word Fail on it. Too bad the Fail isn't on the shirt since that's where the votes are coming from, not the dated and weak E.T. joke.

Sure is you being a grumpy old man.

Regardless this shirt is awesome.

Re: Flying

I really hope this prints. It's neat.

Re: Flying

You are awesome ILOVEDOODLE!

Re: Fail

The design is well-done, but this is a tired reference.

Re: Grand Battle of Flightless Birds

I still disapprove of the jet packs. The cross-sectional area should be reduced toward the exit.

Re: Cheese Cracker!

Skilful texture work in there - and I particularly like the spiral motif in the tail and the ear, picking up the spiral pattern on the rocket
