Re: Delusions of Grandeur

excellent!

Re: Rockin Robin

Robotwaste would love to own this shirt.

Wooters are a fickle bunch, and their art tastes differs so much from sites like Threadless.

Hopefully you get this printed soon.

Re: Giiiiizzzaaaaards

excellence as always!

Re: My Collection

beautiful illustration!

Re: SPLAT!

Heh, this reminds me of a piece I did of some hockey players for a client once. One of the players was getting plowed into the plexi much like this. Nice

Re: Taking Flight

This is my absolute favorite of any I have seen in the derby! Great, great job! I really hope this makes it...

Re: Flight of the Great Horned Owl (resub)

First shirt in a while that I would seriously consider buying. Too bad it's not in the fog.

Thanks Lucky, didn't you have an entry in this derby? What happened to it?

Re: Bird Watchers REVERSED

Why is this not in the fog? I loooooove this shirt

Re: Crassowary

It is shockingly tragic how few votes this is getting. I really hope you sub elsewhere because this is a definite print. Jadenkale would know better than I, but this seems like a shoe-in at Ript.

They have shown time and time again they are in it for the money. But can you blame them? woot makes it so easy for the system to be abused.

if the only easy way to "Win" is to use the "cheat Codes" then why Try it the correct way?

I'm not calling anyone a cheater. I just want the Lifeless turtles, bunnies, mice, and Penguins to stop, and i'm not the only one.

like said above. the Artist holds as much if not alot more weight as the Art does. people see the names and mindlessly vote.

No facts have been presented. You are in the minority of people who want the cute stuff to stop. That can be proven by sales - you know - the facts.

Shirt.Woot has made me realize how many of the same shirt in different color combos/main meme exist on the store shelves. And occasionally one of them still shows up/wins here.

Have to agree. Although this is a nice (albeit, likely temporary) departure from his norm, it is still the kind of generic stuff you can pick up at any of those stores.

The wing proportions might be a little off, but it's not a big deal. Certainly not a buy for me, though.

Ramy, I know you can do better than this. I'm not holding my breath, but if you balanced out the chibi dreck with some better caliber stuff, it would sure be appreciated.

I think Jaden has mentioned though that Ript can only do 4 colors right now so it'd have to be tweaked a bit. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: The Original Recycler

Our Movie Genre, I love it! I'd buy one! Maybe even two!

Re: Independence

Does the woman in the pic come with the shirt? WOWZERS. +1 for the design and +1000000 for the model.

Re: European Swallow

You get my vote for the reference alone. Nice work!

Re: The Birdhouse in your Soul

I can't see this winning, but if it does I'd buy one for my wife. She loves that song. Vote for you!

Re: Flight Academy

I predict that this entry will gain 1st place honors and will be high on the reckoning chart for weeks to come. Great execution and original take on the theme, tjost.

Oh yeah... and...

Tough I respect that a lot, I'd be fired if that were my job.

Very true. I had forgotten about that. I'd be very surprised if this didn't get an HM and if it didn't print then after all that time maybe they will have moved up. If not I think Tilteed might also be good. They seem to be very welcoming of wooters.

Re: Don't Call Me Robin

All right, Batbird it is...
And I'm wearing your Elmer shirt as I type this. Glad to see you back, James!

You mean I might knock Binge out of first place ;) Honestly I can't believe that shirt has been as wildly popular as it has been, I thought it might get some good chuckles and have a good chance of printing but I'm as shocked as anyone. Thanks for the support.

Re: Don't Call Me Robin

I really like this James, but one thing that keeps catching my eye is that the caped robin looks much bigger (ie fatter) then the other two, is this a hidden stab at chunky costume wearing fan boys?

Re: Penguins and Waffles, Together at Last

I don't think I get it, but I still like it. gmv.

Why would you be shocked? It's epic. And I bought 6 of them after they had been reckoned. I was happy to give you $12 ;) This won't bump Binge, but it will give it a run for its money.

On a side note, I just thought you should know that my son was told by his school teacher that he needed to change his shirt because it contained a 'definite reference to alcohol.' He went to the principal and said it contained a 'definite reference to milk' and that he 'didn't know that his teacher drank shots of alcohol with her cookies' and was told by the principal that he could wear the shirt whenever he wished. Which is all the time...

Re: Argyle Formations v2

Ok I know this won't win especially subbed as late as it is, but after looking at my first version I kept getting too much of a holiday type design which I didn't mean. So here's a little recoloring (yes I know that the birds/crows will fade into the shirt, but thats kinda the point) Hope you guys like this one better. Thanks

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT IS HILARIOUS! You made my day with that one!

Nice job.

European swallows don't look nearly as sleek as the barn and tree swallows.

Oh good, thanks TKKenny!

bro3of4 wrote:This is actually the first I've seen of your work, and I'm pretty impressed. I think Adder was saying the roundness of the halftones doesn't work with the rest of the piece. It doesn't mesh well with the vertical and horizontal strokes in the composition. I think crosshatching would work much better, especially if you make it look as if it was pine needles or hatched leaves framing the work.

Yeah, after some thought I think I agree with Adder too. There's just some things an artist doesn't think about themselves until someone else points it out. Ah well. Thanks for your input!

Thank you! Yeah, it's too bad. I'll just have to keep trying.

heh neither could I, but I hope the graphic might still appeal to people that don't know the song. That said, I'm still surprised it's getting as many votes as it is;) That's nice you'd buy one for your wife!

Sorry if I ruined the movie for anyone with my comment, but I felt as though it should be said.

In the movie, yes she turns out to be exactly that. BUT.....the actress playing the part is STILL an eleven year old CHILD. Thus, the perv label.

Good question. I was thinking more he was puffing out his chest - though I don't think that came out too clearly. Thanks for yours and others thoughts on this.

I have been looking into other shirt sites to try, and I very much appreciate the suggestions!
Woot really is pretty hit and miss.
I'll very likely be saving this design for something else in the future, but in the meantime, thanks to those who appreciate and support it!
It's you guys who keep me ever looking forward to creating my next design

Hi All,

Attached is a design I came up with... it's shown on two different background colors.

Let me know what you think before I submit it to the derby.

Thanks!
Brandon

Check out my t-shirt design!

Re: Argyle Formations v2

The more subtle version is better (not as busy with this colorway!). I'd also be down for a one-row argyle...

Either way, love me some argyle!

Re: powered by coffee

I actually kind of like the larger, centered design. It lets people know, 'hey. I like owls. And coffee. So what? Wanna fight about it?'

Re: Pretty Like The Boys

Yay for fogging!

Re: Argyle Formations v2

I like it...
