Re: Huckleberry Finn / Moby not Jane

Yesssss.

I really like this shirt, well done!

Re: Hamlet/Peter Pan

Nice re-do on the colors and positioning. This works much better.
(dude, is that a smudge on the back of Peter's occiput?)

Re: The Family Jules

I hit the 'I want one' button like the fist of an angry god.

Re: Scheherazade's Other Tales

Wow, she could keep herself alive forever with this many stories up her sleeve!

Re: Sherlock of Oz

Nice! I love the expressions on the faces of the flying monkeys!

Re: Sherlock of Oz

Nicely done -- cool shirt! :-D

Lolz, I couldn't decide on just two stories to mash :-)

Re: Jules Verne Mashup


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

Re: Sherlock of Oz

Shoot! I was doing this exact scene!
At least I didn't get much further than the sketch phase. Here's my quick sketch. Crazy similarities.

Good luck you guys!

Re: Jules Verne Mashup

I like the colors, and size of the design on the t-shirt. Goodluck

Thanks, phild3791 :-D

Re: Scheherazade's Other Tales

What a neat idea! And beautiful execution.

Thanks CMD! I like your sketch! Feels like a crime scene. Lots of similar uses of characters in this derby.

I had the exact same idea as another post in the derby.

Thank you very much, Kalari! The drawing took a lot longer than I thought, but I think it turned out okay :-)

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

I like how well this shirt would read at a distance, and great drawing skills!

Vote right back 'atcha.

Re: Hamlet/Peter Pan Redux

After staring at it a while, I realized it was just too dark and grim (as is too often the case). So I cheered it up.

Vote for either, or both!

Re: D.QUIXOTE X FRANKENSTEIN

Yes, the lightning's a nice touch.

(Advantage Frankenstein's monster)

Re: Hey Diddle Diddle in the Book of Life

Arrrgh, I want to utterly love this, because the concept is amazing, the colors work nicely, and the art is great, but I just can't get behind those halftones

also, fyi, there is an "aesop's table" restaurant in Indy.

the fables are mashed up.the characters are from different stories.

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

Very nice illustration! This definitely has my vote, though because it's on white and I'm, err, allergic to things paler than I am, I won't be able to purchase it.

Re: Hey Diddle Diddle in the Book of Life

I feel faintly guilty voting for this, since nothing about those hieroglyphics says "Book of Life" over "any random hieroglyphic inscription," so far as I can see. But... I just... can't... help myself! Must vote! I think it's the Ra dish waving the ankh spoon that did me in.

Re: Scheherazade's Other Tales

I love this. I haven't seen many shirts thus far that I would consider extremely wearable outside the context of the derby, but this one is very nicely done. GMV and good luck.

Actually, the heiroglyphs spell out (phonetically) 'Hey Diddle Diddle'. At least according to this site:

Re: Treasure Island/ The Sign of the Spider

@marzipanapple, thanks marz' that perspective was tricky! I really wanted the ship to feel like it was ploughing forwards.

@DianaSprinkle, glad you like the colors. It's an unusual palette for sure but I think it matches the weird subject matter. ^_^

@jonathan3botts, I did try some more webbing to the bow but it was a little too busy. It was quite challenging to keep this design readable, I very nearly gave up this morning at one point when it was a mess of incomprehensible outlines but somehow I think I found a good balance.

@capedcrusader', thanks and it's suited to a big print. I wish I'd shown it a little larger in the comp. But there's a BIG VERSION viewable now too. :^)

Thanks to paigeg, keelhaulkate and theWanker too for all the support!


Whew! So glad this turned out how I wanted.

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

Def. enjoying the Zap Comics vibe you've kept going this week. Not sure if this is something I'd personally wear, but i can appreciate the artistry that went into it.

I know it's not really Gaiman's 'Merv Pumpkinhead', but I'm going to *pretend* it is, because it only makes this design more appealing.

Re: Scheherazade's Other Tales

love the amount of detail that went into this. great work!

Re: Sherlock of Oz

Cracks me up!

Re: Hamlet/Peter Pan Redux

Oh, nice! The lighter pallette relaly gives it more of a funny, over-dramatic flair. Awesome!

Re: Scheherazade's Other Tales

I like this

Re: Dracula Meets Long John Silver

Poor Long John Silver. Not even the meanest pirate stands a chance against Dracula. Bram Stoker's Dracula lands on Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island.

I LOVE this theme! I just happen to be teaching Treasure Island to my English class right now so I could not resist using it as my inspiration. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did designing it!

Re: Moby Dick/The Bible

Hahaha love it, too bad it got rejected

Thanks!

I just realized Captain Hook looks a little like a pimp. I don't mind--it's just kind of a funny accident.

Re: Moby Dick/The Bible

The question is, Why won't woot go there?

@endangeredomega: hey, thank you! Glad it comes across as wearable ;-D
@skirochester: thx very much :-)
@nyren: gracias! :-)

Re: Resub - MobyDick/The Owl and the grapecat

A resub to fix the whale's mouth a little and generally clean up some things that were bothering me. Please vote again. =D

It's a whale of a tale.

A mash-up of "MobyDick" and "The Owl and the grapecat."

Thanks for all the votes everyone.
