+1 Moby should be white, shouldn't he?

Re: Moby-not Jane/The Owl and the Pussycat

I like how graphic designy this is.

Re: The Family Jules

It's kinda cool, but it's also incredibly faint. I'm not sure I trust the shirt to still look like that after a few washes, especially since none of the lines appear terribly solid/crisp.

Re: Hunchback of Notre-Dame/The Odyssey

Hah - good one. I understood it right away, even without your explanation.

Re: alice's adventures in wonderland/Land of Oz

i like the colors and placement. weel done! GMV!

Re: Moby-not Jane/The Owl and the Pussycat

The face just looks *odd* to me for some reason I can't really figure out how to articulate. That's not very helpful, since I can't offer suggestions or criticism. But! It's still a really beautiful design

thanks!

Re: Alice's Adventures In Wonderland / The Jungle Book

Looks more like "Little Bear" or Bear from Franklin than Baloo.

Re: Treasure Island/ The Sign of the Spider

You got me with that neon green. Fabulous! And the spirate's grin reminds me of Dr. Teeth!

Re: Charlotte's Web/The Lord of the Flies

Wonderfully done I have to vote for this, even if it reminds me of the nightmares I had as a kid when I read that book :P

I just wanted to bring a bit this old book feel.
But I can lose the texture, no problem.
Thanks for the suggestions!

I wouldn't worry about a resub. I don't think it detracts a lot in this instance as it is pretty subtle. And it was just my personal opinion - I know that others love the texture. It's always a gamble ;)

Re: Charlotte's Web/The Lord of the Flies

Rocks, just rocks - and good job of repositioning so the spear is behind. My FAVORITE color shirt, too. GMV!

Re: Tom Sawyer/Moby not Jane

Half the entries contain Moby Di.ck so there was bound to be some duplicate ideas, they are executed in completely different ways in any case.

Jules Verne Mashup(Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the World in 80 Days, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea)

Re: The Family Jules

This is just beautiful. I think it makes a better poster or print than a shirt, but it's gorgeous.

Was totally coming to say this couldn't be printed but it looks like it can be... Good job even though I don't know what books it's referring to.

Re: The LIttle Mermaid/Moby not Jane

I'm devastated. Ariel is going to be so hurt when Ahab and his crew arrive. Look, see - they're coming! Ahhhhhh!

Re: Hey Diddle Diddle in the Book of Life

This is pretty fantastic.

Re: Jules Verne Mashup

Ummm...that opening for the Nautilus is...vaginal?

Sheer awesomeness!

re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry.aspx?id=41336]

I get Sherlock Holmes, but what other classic story is supposed to be depicted here? This doesn't seem like a mashup.

Re: Treasure Island / the island of Dr. Moreau

Thanks to everyone who voted. it would be good to get some feedback/criticism.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=41324]A Tale of 2 Cities of War

At first glance I thought this was an Edgar design, seeing that it was you Jewel, made it all the more exciting. I love this style. Im a huge fan of the facial expressions and their reactions to their current situation.

I'd purchase this instantly.

GMV

So. Many. Whales.

All I'm saying is that (as pointed out in the pre-derby thread) neither book referenced here is in public domain. Maybe the rejectionator won't be heavy-handed, but if they follow the letter of the rules posted - this design will be stamped. We'll see. If it isn't rejected in the next couple days, I will most certainly add +1.

Re: Tom Sawyer/Moby not Jane

Muted, summery colors. It's a nice retro vibe and you can pick out the two references right away.

Re: The Family Jules

I'm no expert on shirt printing by any means, but from what I've gathered by looking at other shirts in other derbies, don't the details of this seem a bit too fine to print very well?

Re: Alice In Wonderland/Huckleberry Finn

Um, no.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=41339]Victor's

Nice work! What's there is well done, I wish it weren't just a head though. It seems so random just being stuck there on a shirt.

Re: Treasure Island/ The Sign of the Spider

I really like the colors you have on this design. They are so eye catching and nice. GMV.

Re: The Family Jules

thanks for the votes & feedback. The drawing was converted to halftones and should print fine. I'll post a close up this weekend. I wanted the style of the design to have that classic, hand-drawn feel. So I put away the tablet and got out the pencil and paper for this one.

Re: Tom Sawyer/Moby not Jane

Yeah!!!

gla3dr wrote:+1 Moby should be white, shouldn't he?

Moby D*ck's alternate title was "The White Whale" and the whiteness of the whale, along with the numerous spears sticking out of his body, add to his supernatural facade.

Re: Treasure Island/ The Sign of the Spider

Like it a lot! The only thing I would have added would be some webbing going out to the bowsprit. It looks kind of weird out there not connected to anything. Nice design though!
