Re: Migration (resub on brown)

Beautiful linework!

Re: Rockin Robin

thanx for the votes so far!!!!

I think Ballonboy has a crush on an 11 year old girl. Freakin' perv.

I actually much prefer this to the one you had on threadless.

woah tons of great subs what a great derby, glad this one is my first :D

Oh my gosh! I love this to death! Which, oddly, is what this reminds me of. GMV easily!

Re: The Crane Wife

love the design and the song......I give you props for this one

Am still learning the tricks of the trade so much to know about the printing on woot

Re: Pretty Like The Boys

Oh my goodness I want this shirt SO MUCH. Very pretty and absolutely hilarious.

Re: You're So Vain

Because you got the song stuck in my head, I leave you with it. And my vote, of course!

You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Hahahahahaha. Since when has woot cared that its designers respect the derbies? The worst offenders print nearly weekly.

Re: The Leg, Sweep it!

Ahahahahahaha!!
For that, you get my vote!
I would wear this shirt and proudly show off my closet-80's-movie-fandom.

Re: Delusions of Grandeur

this is a great design.....I will buy

joelterrific wrote:Ok, so these are hard ones. I'm not going to claim to not see the common punchline here, but I agree the execution is considerably different. I think of it like two comedians vamping on the same theme, but both put their own spin on it. Of course we'll never know if Patrick sat down expressly to re imagine GL's work (I sorta doubt it. It's not like this idea can't be arrived at by someone with a sense of humor), but I can be relatively sure this isn't infringing on GL's art. As we've said before ideas are not easily copyrightable, the execution is.

All that said, I could see people not voting because they feel like it's been regurgitated. That's not different than someone choosing at a joke they've heard a thousand times.

So sokowa can resub the fishbowl and it won't get rejected?

Thanks for being consistent!

Re: Pretty Like The Boys

wow! Clever and awesome!

+1

Re: Team Esther

So, to sum up we have:
no shirt comp
text
copyright infringement
use of a photo
Off theme (no one mentioned this!)

I'll add gradients to the list- one of the veteran designers can correct me on that if I'm wrong.

Any others? I think this has to be nearly a record I'm pretty sure he's managing to break every rule.

Sadly, the fact that it has never happened before is why you are having trouble now. You have to have made a purchase from any of woot's various sites before you can vote for shirts.

Re: Rockin Robin

THIS IS AWESOMEEEEEEE!

Re: Pretty Like The Boys

Wow, this is great CMDixon. Great work with being super creative, and making a shirt that's kind of gender neutral, no pun intended. Lovely illustration to boot.

"Every" rule would depend on if it has more than 6 colors or not I think.

Re: People Watching

Dude, this is one of my favorite designs in the derby. I'm sad that it's not in the fog . This is really cute TGentry. I would even love to have a print of it someday if possible. I love his face :D

StargateGamingGeek wrote:"Every" rule would depend on if it has more than 6 colors or not I think.

Well, there's always next derby for him to incorporate that! Since he's submitted this awful joke 2 derbies in a row, I think we can count on seeing it next time.
So if he just amps up the color, I'm sure he'll accomplish his goal!

Re: Pretty Like The Boys

This was not what I expected to see when I clicked on the thumbnail (I guess I was just expecting to see a still-life). Its very beautiful, and funny- which is hard to pull off, I think.

Sweet design

xazothia wrote:They already banned video games - try emailing woot with your thoughts if you're serious about it.

There's only three existing-IP parody shirts in the reckoning right now, and only two of those are from Derbies. The fact that parodies haven't been printing since video games were banned is enough to tell me that further restrictions over such aren't really necessary.

I doubt it would make a difference if I wrote to Woot. People love them some pop culture on here. If they want it, who am I to change it? :\ I just don't have to give it my vote.

Re: Stupid Parrot, This is a Black-Tie Affair

leaps into the vacuum that this probably wont print by the looks of it. only shirt i would want to buy this week

mrwednesday wrote:I think people are missing my point so I will clarify. The bird with the worm is about 45 degrees tilted away from the plane of the shirt to give it a 3D look. The shadow, however, is completely parallel with the plane of the shirt. It would be better if the shadow have the same 3D perspective that the bird does.

Darn you, now that you've said that, I cannot enjoy this shirt on the same level as before... Blast.

Still, though, excellent concept. Work on the execution just a bit.

Re: The Leg, Sweep it!

Thanks all. I got this idea at about 1am last night as I was getting ready for bed, and ended up staying up late drawing it. I'm a pop-culture junkie and can't get enough of this type of garbage.

Re: Flipping the Bird

So cute!

Re: Pretty Like The Boys

Not a fan of stark white shirts, but I think this might have to be my first if it prints. The detail on the head and chest feathers is really beautiful.

That said, I would definitely buy it if it were on a darker shirt.

I really prefer the original as well.

In fact, if it prints, I'll buy my first shirt!

Re: Pretty Like The Boys

I love how the peahen is fanning her little tail, trying to show off. =) I love the colors in this design too! Very creative; good job!

Re: Pretty Like The Boys

This is a great concept and well executed.I love the illustration.

Re: Pretty Like The Boys

I like the use of the shirt front and I like the colors, but the paint cans look a little sloppy (drawn not spilled). And where did the white paint come from?

Re: The Leg, Sweep it!

where is the "i'd want 10" button?

What is there to get? You aren't even trying it would seem.
