Re: Buterfly Breeze

soft colors in a soft breeze =) The ultimate Spring combo... except without a BBQ and Beer =)

Re: Mono no Aware

Mono no Aware - an empathy for the transience of things. The fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms floating on the surface of a still pond.

Re: From Death, Life

I see some other snowmen here, and I don't mean to step on their toes but I had already started working on this, so I wanted to finish it.

Re: Nature's Awakening

Nice, especially for a first sub. You have colors left, and my only suggestion would be something daqrk (dark green or black) for an little depth. Your design and your call, tho.

Re: Spring Cleaners

So, the ladybug married a dungbeetle? Lol!

Re: Sakura Samurai

Wow, I would love to own this! Nice job PP

Re: Wake up Spring

Simple, well-drawn - nice! My only other suggestion would be some 'floor' for context; grass or something. Otherwise, the daisies are just floating in space...

Thanks for your suggestion, sunniraindrop! I edited my design and erased most of the solid pink on the flower.. I don't think it'll be enough to make a significant difference for this derby since the competition is tough, but I thought I'd try it out anyways. :]

Here's the second version:

[Edit] Fixing the submission since I accidentally put the shirt template outside the printable area... orz ...

ok, this shouldn't have any more problems... ><

Re: Mono no Aware

Oh, this speaks to me! My koi tatto is wriggling in empathy. But you have colors left - perhaps a splash of water for context, and/or a bit of detail on the blossoms? A little added blue and cranberry would kisk
A$$, IMO.

Re: Spring Air (ver.2)

This is an edited version of my original submission, found here:

The detailed view of the design can be seen on the first post from the original submission (the flower part is different, but everything else is the same).

Thanks for stopping time (again)! :]

Gorgeous. I typically pick one shirt per derby that I really want to win as I'd instantly buy it. This is it this time.

With budgies, as with some other species of parrots, the pattern of coloration isn't a good indicator of sex - especially mutated domestic lines. One determining factor in mature budgies is that the area around the nose holes is generally more vividly colored in males and less so in females. I just wanted the two most common colorations to be represented. ;)

Re: Impressionist Springs

Well, not entirely impressionist. But guaranteed 100% spring.

Re: Impressionist Springs

Note: the flower on the left looks different in the comp. It's a weird effect created by the complex pattern zoomed at different sizes. The Detail photo has the the best representation of the flower.

Cool lighting!

I have got to get better at using halftones.

Re: Maniacal Bunnies

The Maniacal Bunnies have a three-step evil plan:
1. Eat your garden.
2. Subdue you with the cuteness.
3. Take over the world.

Five colors on grass green: black, gray, white, pink, blue

Re: Kill It!

looks to me like the flower is getting flirty and the snowperson on the right is j.e.a.l.o.u.s.

Re: Buterfly Breeze

Very pretty, and I like the subtle pallet. But butterfly is misspelled!

Re: Magnifying Glass Double Homicide

Cute! Would have been even funnier if you'd actually been able to use *glasses* as the maginifier. It' wouldn't have translated as well, tho.

You and me both. I have no idea how to mix colors together. I only know how to take a single color and convert it to a half tone.

LOL!
Oops!
Thanks Paige!

Re: Every Little Bird Must Leave the Nest

Lol! It's SO far down! Not sure the style of the tree and the style of the birds meshes, but I do like this andthe idea is cute!

paigeg wrote:This is so cute, and your style is evident (Yes, even though the ice cream with guts creeped me out, I pay attention). I wish that A, the little guy had a mouth; B, that you had a color left to make that salt into pepper (statement on the American diet notwithstanding) and C, that it was placed higher on the shirt. I really think you are outside the print area. Check your template and make sure it falls within the blue lines on the shirt mockup (that's the Photoshop template I'm referring to; haven't worked with others).

Neat..thanks for the help. To resubmit it with him moved up a little, wouldn't I have to lose all my votes so far though?

Re: Spring Run off

That resigned look on their faces is wonderful!

Re: Spring Wake

As if that coffee will save the bunny...
BTW, one foot has 4 toes, and the other, 5.

I like The Nothing! But I agree on the colors - a quick swap to a new shirt color???

Re: Spring Cleaning

i've got me a sneaker, it's tattered and torn. it's all full of holes and the laces are worn. a gift from my mother the day i was born!!!!! i love it because its trash!

However, I will say the feet of the standing penguin look sloppy.

The penguin is pidgeon toed?

Thanks Tplante!
PS....Watch Out!!! They can kill you!

Re: Stained Glass Spring Scene

I like how you chose to put the design in a circle instead of, say, an actual stained window shape.. I think it works on a T-shirt well and I love the colors! You have my vote.

Re: A Lean Winter

Still sick as hell. But cute, too. If this does get more votes and prints, I'll probably buy. But I won't vote to promote puppy cannibalism, I just won't! LOL!

Ach, you're killing me. ;) I'm sick, darn it! Sick!

But I'm sure you're right. I'll see what I can do....

Re: From Death, Life

Awwww, love it, Eshto! My only suggestion would have been to make the sun solid, and only the rays in halftone.

It looks like you may have strayed outside the printable area.

Re: Boxes and pipes??!

I like how it looks like you used colored pencils.. but like everyone else has said, I'm afraid it'll get rejected for the video game reference.. >< Nonetheless, I like your style :]

Re: The Following Spring...

The humans are dead, and so are the robots!

Spring is the happiest time to be a bird and this year there are so many materials around to build a nest with! This heartwarming design shows a bluebird getting comfy after the impending human-robo-pocalypse. ^___^


Here are some details:







Check out all the fancy details in this BIG VERSION, why don't you? (fixed the link!)


Thanks for checking out this design, please vote if you like it!

But I'm sure you're right. I'll see what I can do....

Omelets made great, feel better! A shirt isn't worth feeling like dreck.
But if you do, I'm only suggesting some subtle lines on the blossoms, and maybe a switch to a blue shirt, or some easy blue lines to drop shadow here and there, so there is a context of water to the eye. I love the design, though.
Again, feel better!

I noticed that after I submitted it... @__@;

I guess I will go fix it .... for the 3rd time..... T____T

Welcome to the New Millenium.

Either that or they were real confused.
