Re: Cupid's Arrow

That's a really well drawn body.
Are there really only 6 colors in there? If so, I'm impressed.
How did it look on a different color?

I actually thought it was an ass with a non-species-specific head attached.
If you can say "penis", I can say "ass", right?

Re: Heart FAILure

Just a funny idea I had. Any suggestions, tips, or complaints are always welcomed.

something looks a little wonky with his face to me. everything else is gorgeous though.

Re: Is THIS what you were looking for?

PRICELESS!! I absolutely love this. What a wonderful job sokowa! GMV hands down.

Re: The King and Queen of Hearts

Clarinerd, Sakleehop.mjc613, cgj5361 and Gil212 thankyou for your nice comments.

You got a lot of nice detail in this design, and the composition is quite cool.

thankyou Drakxxx, but I deserve a kick for that booboo- sigh

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=39292]Squid

I think it's amusing, nice illo...but more an octopus than a squid. Sorry. Squid heads and tentacles are quite different from what's shown. Still voting, but the naming bugs me.

Re: I swear I didn't eat the truffle

Oh so cute and you do food so well, I was going to do a box of candy and thought of you, knew you'd do it best, and you did!

Re: Heart FAILure

Maybe have it bonk itself in the head with the numchuks? That's what I would end up doing.

And is it that Richard Simmons' hair that I spot? ;-)

This shirt is the cookie imposed where Edward's heard would go, as well as the belts he always wore around his torso.

That's very clever. I didn't get it at first. I'm glad you commented and explained it.

Re: Monster hug!

Oh so cute.I love the little kid with his big ol' monster.Adorable.

Re: Hangin' in there

Move up, cute little monsters. You deserve more love and votes. I really want to buy you.

AdderXYU wrote:I could post a shirt with a gravestone and one black heart over it

No you couldn't because it would require you contribute something other than unwanted, unqualified discourse.

Love Parrotworks.

Re: Hangin' in there

Do you print your shirts anywhere else, btw? Or put your monsters in kid's books? Cuz they are fabulous.

Thank you.
I got extra color by using a checkerboard cross-hatch technique.
The grey pants/tights are a black and sky-blue hatch.
Shading on the torso is brown and "flesh" hatch.
Lips are red and "flesh", which gives them a more manly look.
So the colors are
1 yellow
2 white
3 brown
4 red
5 black
6 "flesh"
on a baby blue background.
I didn't try any other background colors. I wanted a blue sky. I could have tried the royal blue, but the whole image was taking too long and the baby blue looked good, especially in the eyes and wing shadows.
(I'd wanted the pants/tights to be black, but it was frankly easier to draw contour marks where there would be shadows than where there would be highlights, so I decided to "half-tone" them and they came out a nice gray color.)

alas, i can't wear baby blue. still gmv.

Thanks Rachel! baby blue and red just seemed yummy to me in the wee hours of the morning....I still like 'em

Was the name inspired by a early-1980s hit by the group Yes?

Re: The King and Queen of Hearts

Whoa SnowQueen, this is NICE! And Snowy! And Queeny! and very wearable! GMV!

Re: Love has no age…

I like the charcoal. I think the green would have overpowered the graphic, even though green and red are complementary.

Re: Is THIS what you were looking for?

This is very clever.
I really like your style.

Re: CMYK Heart

Never designed anything CMYK, so I thought I would give it a try.

Re: The Tell Tale Heart - RESUB

love it even more the second time around!

Great job. Turned out great.

Thanks Kneusha! Like I already said, I love the heart doing what it wants in your shirt, so true!

Re: Cold Hearted

AWWW! I LOVE THE PENGUINS!
I really like the design of those little guys.
Although it's sad that the lady penguin is turning down the guy penguin.

niccamarie wrote:Question for experienced derby artists: I'm realizing now that I see this up that I should have made the thumbnail zoomed in so you can see the notes. Is it possible to resubmit just the thumbnail file?

I like your concept. You're right, this needs close-up. I think you have to resubmit the dang thing, not for absolute positive on that. Or you could put a big image on photobucket or some other place on the web and link it from here in your comments.

Read through the "community" section, upper right of your page. Check out the topic heads, snoop around. There's a pretty good amount of useful info there, if you're willing to pull through the weeds.

Re: My Heart Belongs To You

i like the drawing--but why are they is such rough shape? they've been fighting?

Re: CMYK Heart

love it! the pixel unit itself is so gorgeous! gmv

radharose wrote:Hi, this s my first ever entry in a Woot Derby, I hope you all like it, and vote for it! Since the theme is hearts/love/whatnot, I thought I'd do a design about something I absolutely love: peanut butter with chocolate! Best combination ever. Period. :P

Best of luck! This is my first time entering the derby as well.

Re: My Heart Belongs To You

Very cute!! Are they zombie kids??

SnowQueenVT wrote:SAKLEEHOP, you have been busy!!This is my favorite I love love love it!!

Thank you SnowQueen - praise from Caesar is always flattering. I wanted to make a more abstract, unisex design given that one of my others speaks more to the ladies. Plus, my favorite color is blue...thanks for looking!

Re: You Set My Heart On Fire (And It Melted)

very nice drawing! tells a story.

kneusha wrote:love it! the pixel unit itself is so gorgeous! gmv

Thanks, I did intend it to have a pixel art effect too. One thing I did not intend, but is a nice effect anyway is the slightly embossed look from far away.

Re: They Beat the Same

regardless of copyright issues, I like the idea of the shirt, my complaints are more superficial, as I thought the grinch's heart grew two sizes too BIG that Christmas morning when he saw all the Who's in Whosville singing.

and it's on heather grey, and I don't like heather grey. I don't even mind the reference to Link, that was very tastefully done.

Re: Shot Down By Love

I would have bought one or two but only if shirt has the design not the title "shot down by love"

Re: Why Didn't We Think of That?!?

Clever!! I really like your style!
Best of luck!
