I don't get this image... can someone explain?

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Re: We 3 Kings

Clean and simple. I like it!

Re: Inspired by Winter Wonderland

lyrics

I know there are a lot of Winter Wonderland entries, but I wanted to focus on the "new bird" that replaced the bluebird

Re: Santa, Baby

hilarious!

Re: Inspired by The Cat Carol

Wow . . . what utter garbage. Seriously, woot, we need a no cats and mice rule for the derbies. This has gotten old. The derby is in danger of becoming irrelevant if the same styles and content are submitted week after week.

Alas, there can. Her shirts consistently sell out faster than anybody's.

I mean, they *could* have a slew of robot voters, but they also have a slew of people putting down money for shirts afterwards.

Because the turtle is so low to the ground he is decorating the tree's shadow instead of the actual tree. :D

Still, isn't there gradient issues with this design?

IT'S IN THE FOG!!!!!!!

Agreed

Re: Santa, Baby

This was INSPIRED by the song "Santa Baby"

Re: Inspired by: Let it Snow, Let it Snow...v2.0

The weather outside is frightful… let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Thanks for those that commented on v1.0. I did take your advice and played with the shapes. Hopefully, they still fall within the realm of the printable as far as the line width goes. Also, I added a sixth color, v1.0 has only 5. In addition to the sixth color, I changed the layer order to place the darker colors in the back. That was one of my least favorite parts of v.1. I experimented with navy, it just didn’t work for me, the purity and freshness was lost with darker shirt color.

Oh god, I see it too! Poor notched horsie.

Re: Inspired By Sleigh Ride v.2

Even though the rabbit looks a little bit unpolished compared to the birds, I would buy this in a heartbeat.

Re: Inspired by Winter Wonderland

I like the side placement. You offer something different from the norm. Sure you may have done similar things before, but this is good. You get the picture it seem very fluid. Well done!

Hoping to see this one soon!!

Thanks for commenting. Check out v2.0. Maybe you kind folks will like it better. BTW, I did actually draw each of the 48 flakes. I did delete one on v2.0, it was too detailed to survive the tweak.

can't you guys see the halftones? so long as they are within the point limits, he should be fine. however, a larger detail would be helpful.

kylemittskus wrote:Similar shirts exist. Duh!!!

Add some... uh... polka-dots! Yeah, that should cover it.

It's not the same... it has a pie and whipped creme! JEEZE! XP

This has always been one of my favorite Christmas songs. When I saw the theme, and even though I knew it would take forever, I just couldn't NOT do it.

Here are some detail shots:

Re: Inspired by The Twelve Days of Christmas

Nice job, Loopy.

Nice colors and form.

Re: Inspired by Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Reminds me too much of X-Treme National Park. http://shirt.woot.com/friends.aspx?k=10653

EXPLOSIONS! EXPLOSIONS!

I think this might have been inspired by something other than "sleigh ride"... heh

Maybe he should change the color of the cat to be safe! (LOL)

Re: Inspired by Winter Wonderland

I really like this. And the socks.

BootsBoots wrote:Also, after Christmas you can take a sharpie and write whatever you want in the bubble. "Ni" if you're a Monty Python fan.

You just made this design even more awesome!

Re: Inspired by The Chipmunk Song

MY GOD! Even the chipmunks have long creepy fingers! What is it with you and long creepy fingers?

Definitely, because the apple is what has me worried. But what the heck, I'll throw in my vote and hope it passes.

Definite props for doing your homework and extra props for the Tick reference.

or you could ask. id love to explain it to new people. perhaps i should create an FAQ...

seriously though, if you want to know the history i know, PM me

It also does not successfully illustrate the song. the song states that the cat dug a hole in a snow drift. This is not a snow drift.

Re: Inspired By O Christmas Tree

Def. looks printable to me.

I like the "sweet" treatment you've given this one. I almost want that rhino to have his own shirt, d'aw.

me either.

Draug wrote:The socks kill it for me. D: Otherwise it would have my vote.

I agree, I would LOVE it without the socks

Hengehog wrote:I agree, I would LOVE it without the socks

Ditto. I just imagine people saying "What's with the socks?" and me saying "I don't know."

No, thanks.

Wow! This looks great! I'm glad someone had the guts to take on such an epic song.

Re: inspired by sleigh ride

Actually, the "tiger" pumpkin never printed, right? So no similar shirts exist. Especially not with whipped cream and pie.

Re: inspired by sleigh ride

LOL! As much as I hate this design, I think it would look AWESOME on a little girl.

I have three boys who loved Spicy Meatball, A Clue? and Impostor.

Unfortunately, this garbage will end up getting 1st, yet again shutting a decidedly more deserved piece out of placing. One day people will grow tired of this same schlock. Until that day comes, the rest of us will suffer...

I'm tired of looking at this goofy cat! I agree with you!. I wonder if the artist- and I'm using the term loosely- can draw anything else?
