Shirt.Woot

Re: Need for Speed

Does no one else think this too closely resembles the underwater turnpike of Finding Nemo?

jeffreywitchdoctor wrote:Lovely Image..... Just please not on Wal-Mart Grey?

My first thought also. The heather color cheapens every design. And I like the design.

Re: PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT!

So hilarious! The pink hoody on the turtle is such a great touch. No one creates characters quite like you, Walmazan. Great as always!

Re: Higher... than expected

Cool design,I would definitely wear this. gmv

Re: Solar Winds

great style and execution. It will make a wonderful maternity shirt. gl.

If people missed it, it's Urkel from Family Matters and thats the machine that turns him into Stefan Urquelle. To paraphrase Daave Chappelle, 'Where are all these people who don't like Urkel, if you don't like Urkel something is wrong with you, something is wrong with YOU' ;)

You seem frustrated. I PM-ed you.

Re: Tools of the Trade

As a Zelda fan I really like this but the Roc Feathers look like leaves to me. I had to look at the description to figure out what they were. I thought it had something to do with a greek deity at first.

Re: Faster, Higher, Stronger, Pucker

So, I guess I'm gonna show off my noob-ness now. I've seen this character as an entry in a derby before and I don't understand. Is this from something? Does it represent something? I mean, no offense, and I'm really not trying to start a argument or anything, but I think the character looks pretty dumb. And I was and still am suprised it gets as many votes each derby as it does. I just don't get it. I feel like there's something going on that I don't know about.

Re: Solar Winds

Looks nice in the image, but I'm not convinced it will print well with all of those dark-on-black halftones.

Omelets made great can this be more mediocre???
The perspective is AWFULL!!!!
As all the ramy 'designs' is an unhappy animal doing something!
Please. If your gonna be the first one every derby, at least do something with quality.

Re: Fast in my Chucks

voted! I can remember these shoes, from about 1973.

Re: Solar Winds

I do like the colors but this will not print well -at all- here. The white underbase will really show through even if they're perfectly spot on with the registration.

Re: Air Defense

Wonderful texture and great use of the tee as a medium. Voted.

snarkygal wrote:This looks awesome on the screen, but I'm not sure how well it will print. But I commend you on how awesome it looks. The texture is off the chain!

I think it'll print OK, because the halftones are in white and light blue. With the white underbase it should look fine. Woot can do pretty fine details.

Only thing I'd be concerned with is wearing a sheet of ink, cause this one will be thick.

From the first derby, Kenney has been rocking the pucker meme, where he takes a pair of lips and artistically puts them into the theme of the week. Other memes have come and gone, but his have remained for the last two years. And as such, there's a decent fan base.

Here's the first one, all those months ago

I can't stop smiling.

I'd wear it, for sure. The bird high up above in the background is great, like they're both flying

Re: What's for Dinner?

Hahahaha. I love the idea, and the Artwork

Little suggestion, Just I think the scale don't mach between the cat and the owl, or maybe is the perspective!.... but really it's an awesome work!

gotta be honest, I wasn't gonna vote for it. But definitely +1 for an awesome title that made me laugh. I'd even wear it just so I could quote people the title.

Re: Excelsior!

This design has a pretty clear story to it which is simple and fun, but the aesthetic is all about textures- frog skin, ocean waves, clouds, fabric, etc... I hope you like it.

Onwards an upwards,

Thanks guys, I actually took some advice and resubmitted it. I couldnt put too many things on there, but I did add the hand and change the wristy feel, haha!

Re: Awesomer.

Awesome design--however, it is adult in content, and since it's wearable art, it concerns me that I couldn't censor who views it and who doesn't (like children...).

That would bother me.

Re: Zombie Evolution

Great resub, the progression seems smoother.

I'm starting to get really disillusioned with this site... so many cool designs that never make it to print, and then make it into the double-take derby and fail to print yet again.

This has GMV, but let's face it, it will probably lose to a turtle with rocket boosters.

did you know over 50% of manatees are more dangerous than the average manatee?

Re: The Great Heist of Lonely Gary's Heart

I'm in love with this shirt. I wish more people would vote for it.

Is it male or female??

I hope this rises quickly and displaces at least one of the poorly designed graphics in the fog right now. Great job, fantastic illustration.

Re: Solar Winds V2

Here's a new version that resolves the rounded belly issue that someone mentioned on the last version.

Please revote!

true . .but sadly that has picked me off before. Just an insult to injury. :D

Smoothesuede wrote:Raptors are typically the species people look at for clues on bird evolution, I believe; whereas pterosaurs remained unfeathered and even may have had hair-like covering. To the best of my knowledge, a feathered raptor(microraptor) achieved glide-assisted flight long before the pterosaurs(roughly 60 million years before). It would be an odd quirk for a species to evolve feathers, lose them(and gain hair), and then evolve them again.

But I'm not an expert. I invite citation or fact-checking to prove me wrong.

Also, I like the shirt. :D

Thanks for the info. I always welcome a thought out statement instead of hollow criticism Sounds like you know your stuff!

Re: Excelsior!

Yup, I LOVE the textures. No clue how you did it. And I like the extra detail on the whale

Yes! Years of being harassed by Dastardly and the Vulture Squadron has made Yankee Doodle Pigeon salty. He's ready to eat his own guts and ask for seconds.

Re: Lennie

How exactly does this reference the stronger, better, faster theme? This isn't meant to be an attack so I hope you don't take it that way! I just like to know the backstory of my shirts before I wear them, and the relevance of this isn't evident to me.

Re: Good Morning Captain

Definitely one of the best shirts in the derby. Easily. I really hope it gets up there.

Argh, now that you mention it they do look a lot like leaves. My bad. =/ I don't know if I'll have a chance to mess with the image though... but thanks for bringing it up.

Something about it just feels lazy to me, like any ol' chump could come up with this and replicate the art fairly easily given only a few moments of thought.
Just doesn't do it for me... That, and I hate-hate-hate squiggly lines(like those used for his torso/apron), it looks childish and silly to me; not in a good way.

Very sorry.

No need to apologize for an opinion that's well thought out.

However, I think it's erroneous to suggest that anyone could come up with this. Again, that's a superficial view of the art. Not just anyone could come up with something this demented, conveying so much... well... happiness. I can see how it's not for everyone. Hell, if it printed, I doubt it'd sell well at all. But I don't think there's much real merit to the argument that anyone could come up with this.

He's built to be faster, stronger, and better, but all he wants to do is hug. He accidentally crushes things with his faster/stronger build. I was going for ironic.

CityVelo wrote:Is there another way to ground these elements other than those lines to make a corner? It might stand well on its own without those lines. As it is, they're a little distracting... adding a harsh, linear aspect to it unnecessarily. My opinion, of course.

Hmmm, I'm not sure, but thanks for bringing it up. =/ Oh wait, I think I may have a plan for how to adjust that. I just have to find some time to mess with this image. Thanks for commenting.
