Re: SAMURAI SHOWDOWN

You got my vote :^)

Re: Split Spirit of Steam v.2

I hate to nitpick, not really, but I see the theme of the shirt is steampunk, but this week's derby theme is the letter s. What on this shirt starts with the letter s?

Re: Falling Snickers

This is a GREAT design. Good job! I'll vote for it.

Re: Soapin' Skunk

This is too cute. As it's skunk mating season in my neck of the woods, I can relate to this. Ha! If only they did bathe! Great design! GMV!

Re: surf, sunset, stars

Watery, firey , starry and huggy...very nice eye4spot!

Re: Spooning Spoons

The faces on these spoons are so sweet!

I feel the same way... how did it drop so far after being in the fog for a while? I really like this one Riffmaster.

Steampunk starts with S. Also it is the two sides of the same person (Split) with the two majorities of steampunk (workers and victorian high class) (Spirit). I focused on ideas and genras that start with S rather than objects and actions.

Re: S is for Storybook

This is way cool. As a literature teacher, I would totally get this. Your characters are unmistakable!

Re: Spine

No back prints? Since when?

Re: Starbucks Squirrel

because titles can't be changed...?

Re: She Sells Sea Shells

I know you said you just colored with what was familiar to you, but this palette works GREAT with a sea theme! Blues and coral-y pinks? Dead-on. This is probably one of your best.

Re: Soaring Scooter

Agree that the scooter needed to come forward and pop more, maybe more angle and details. But this is a great take on a biker shirt, for the - um - slower crowd. Lol!

Re: Starbucks Squirrel

Wasn't expecting this to get rejected over Starbucks in the title. He can just resubmit with another title though I guess.

I mean *I* sure wouldn't want to get sued by Starbucks either.

He might want to give the squirrel orange stripes though just to be safe on the "existing shirts" rule.

Re: Sunset Swan

Cool!
GMV!

Thanks Paigey-g!

Re: Stripper

Rejected? I think the Woot folks have some deep-seated issues...

Re: Starbucks Squirrel

Strange rejection, considering we just had a derby full of band name shirts. I guess I'll keep in mind to be careful about titles... :\

Re: Deep Blue Space

Whoa. Blown. Mind.

Re: Starbucks Squirrel

But, this might be a good time to perhaps make some fixes and try a resub? I don't know, I just hate seeing rejections on stuff so late in the derby. :\ (Sunday counts as late, doesn't it?)

Balloons and muscle relaxers!

Re: Award-Winning Sculptor of Coastlines

I was crolling down and saw the title - ANY D Adams THGTU reference gets my vote!

Fatstrat06 wrote:because titles can't be changed...?

As much as I dislike this shirt, I don't think a title should be rejection-worthy. They just had a derby full of trademarked band names. They also regularly change names of entries if they print.

There was also an entry rejected for being a backprint. I'm wondering if we have a new Rejectionator today?

Thank you! I'm hoping to buy a tablet soon so I can make smoother lines.

Starbucks = big scary corporation.

The rejection reason makes it seem like woot doesn't care that similar shirts exist though, which is really frustrating to me.

"Slarti", to those who know him best. Wow, all this art is making be a bit peckish. Going to go have something that's almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

Re: seven seagulls at sunset

The seventh is a silhouette against the sun...

Re: Set of SG's

Amazingly detailed. I think i might be happier if the bodies were down, or at least there was some context for them being up, like hands holding them up like crossed swords or something...

A tablet-Oh good!!...I will be so happy for you when you get it!!

Don't take your eyes off the prize...the tablet will set you free!!

nevetnod wrote:Nicely done, but I would like this way better without the old man in the picture. The imagery is recognizable enough without him there. Maybe leave the rake in, but not necessary.

Seriously? Hmmm... I really thought of the overall concept with him in it, but it's a layer I could supress and resub. Huh.

Re: satellite

You really nailed this one! It looks super-spacey!

Re: Solo

Ha ha ha a headbanger!! I can almost hear that rippin' solo!

But if you run into two siamese cats who are joined, they may not mind being called siamese twins :D.

Re: Something Quite Atrocious

I agree - don't let the rejectionator discourage you. Learn and come back for more. This was a truly thoughtful and clever design, and well executed. Look forward to more!

The fact that they mentioned the similar shirts probably means they were aware of it and they may have rejected it for that as well. I think you're right in that the scarier reason is probably Starbucks lofty corporate lawer fleet.

Thanks paigeg!

You know, I may have pinked myself out of the running this week, even with the darker side to this design, but I wouldn't change a thing. ^__^

Re: Solo

awesome!?

Re: Soapin' Skunk

bassanimation wrote:Awwww, I love skunklets! I know, I am crazy..but I've always thought they were just sugary cute. I love this one, Jasneko!

I find them adorable too... I've seen many a video of pet skunks and they seem sooo cute! So you're not alone, hehe. Thanks bass!

Thanks curiousme! Wow, skunk mating season. It's funny, I really don't mind the skunk smell. I haven't smelled it closeup, but when driving in a car and other people are complaining about a skunky smell, I don't find it that bad. It's a lot better to me than some other natural stinks!;)
Edit - hey, I just noticed you put this design in your signature - thanks so much!

fishbiscuit5 wrote:Hi, Odysseyroc. I just wanted to pop in and let you know I watched the video on inking that you posted. Thanks so much for taking the time to show us noobs how the pros do things :-) It is generous of you and other experienced artists to share your knowledge each week!

I'm glad to be even a little bit of help. In my opinion, the whole community here is better off if the "pros" help the up and comers. I think it pushes everybody to get better.

Thanks! I'm fairly certain that I am indeed a he.
