Green or olive would have seemed too verdant and taken the focus off of the sprouting greenery, and while I considered brown, I think the black outlines would have all but disappeared.
Just my reasoning for the color choice there.

Yeah, it's the best the choice, it just feels less integrated into the background than usual. To be honest I initially was thinking that she was emerging to spring so it didn't make any sense why it would be gray but I realized I had the myth backwards.

I think it's mostly due to the stark lines on the cave mouth. Either way I'm glad to see it in the fog.

Too bad these penguins don't look like any species that actually live in Antarctica.

Re: Persephone Emerges

It sells the transition from the underworld to springtime quite effectively. Hmmm it's very restrained but I like this a lot. :^)

Good luck taninniver!

Re: Spring Lover

Whoa... Did you halftone it in CMYK and then pull separations? That's pretty cool.

Re: Persephone Emerges

I really like your style, and I love Greek mythology!! Got my vote, definitely Good luck!

They don't look like halftones because of how graphics programs treat pixels when they're resized. It's why woot's mockup of today's print (the 8-ball) looks different from tgentry's original derby entry.

Then = WOW. I am no artist, so my eye says photo. Thanks for clearing that up.

Why is the penguin eyeing something to his left suspiciously when all the action is to his right?

Re: The Chalice

Cool idea with the tree...but not a fan of vertical designs. Good luck!

Re: A walk on the spring clouds

Regardless on whether or not this was actually made with brushes.. all it looks like is a compilation of photoshop brushes.

Re: Spring Break-Out!

Is reminded of Raisin Bran...lol.

Re: Spring Bear

Since I am a bear you get my vote.

Re: Spring Bear

Haha, took me a while to figure out why this was titled Spring Bear...I feel dumb, lol. And I think the "Woodman" would've had a better touch to it if it were rounded a little. Like make it look like the beavers rounded the segments a bit.

I don't know, just an idea. Good luck!

Re: Raptor among the Robins

Cute little raptor with those humongous eyes.

Re: A walk on the spring clouds

I think it will print too muddled. I don't dislike it, but there isn't enough delineation between the clouds and the other images (deer, etc.)

Re: Raptor among the Robins

Did you look at the theme?

Re: A walk on the spring clouds

Yeah, I wish there were less clouds and more animals and or plants...

Re: Spring Cleaning

Haha, cute.

Snowmen don't have toes! So I think you're ok :P
Nice job.

Re: Raptor among the Robins

While the take on the theme isn't traditional I saw it right away. Robins/nest/eggs == spring time. The raptor is just something extra

cuz I want one..

Re: Springtime Baseball Genie Wish Championship Fall

I am a HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEE baseball fanatic and I would LOVE to see a baseball printed tee at Woot!! :D

Re: The Cutest Zombie Uprising

It is spring time. A time for renewal. A time for rebirth. A time for reanimated corpses to walk the earth.

You have to have purchased a woot thing, and then when you log in you can vote!

Re: Silent Spring (Resub)

Sorry to resub so quickly but I was not liking the black outlines on the bird. I feel much better now.

Re: Springtime Baseball Genie Wish Championship Fall

Thanks for the comments you lovely people!

And will probably fog while other more-deserving designs will be left out in the cold. (forgive the pun)

Thanks. I had science and physics stuff on my mind when I read about the Derby. The bouncy kind of spring came to mind, and, voila. The product.

Re: It's That Time of Year Again

LoL! Omelets made great I want this!

Re: A Peculiar Discovery

Like warhawk mentioned, there's some serious problems with the eyes in those penguins... Neither are actually looking at the plant. The one on the ground is looking up while the one standing is... uhm... looking in two directions at once. And neither direction is towards the plant.

Oh... the one laying down looks like he'll have a hard time getting up... seeing as his feet aren't attached to legs... just a long torso.

Every April, the Wildlife Gaming Commission gives a handful of permits to lucky hunters. The Flip Flop is an elusive beast. Known as a pest in some areas, they are connected with frequent foot injuries of the locals. Flip Flops like to attach themselves to a human sole during the warm seasons. They are prone to randomly detach from their host in the most inconvenient of times. Most normally when the host is in the middle of crossing a busy intersection.

Re: Raptor among the Robins

Haha.. I feel this belongs in an R Derby. The eye looks just a tad big, but maybe it's as surprised as we are.

Re: Spring Cleaning

Awesome! Hahahahahaha.

Re: A Spring Owl

great job on the face. looks very good.

I second that. And very nicely drawn. Cool style .

Re: Sakura Samurai

Man.. I could use a brown shirt. Definite buy if it prints.

Re: snail picnic!

Awww! Reminds me of the snail from Strawberry Shortcake

Re: Spring Showers

Always liked the idea that rain leads to flowers...and there are lots of tulips blooming right now.

Re: snail picnic!

Snail looks like he's got back hair.. lol.
