Thanks Fish, I'm really happy with how this design came out. This is the part of friday where I start my slow slide to 35th-40th place.

Did you ever wind up doing anything with "arms go here"? If you have, it's cool. If not, I might take a crack.

I didn't end up having time, stupid deadlines.

Why was this under a different name earlier?

No way! I have high hopes for you this week. It's a solid design with honest appeal. I have an idea for a design but haven't had time to work on it yet. I may end up skipping this week. There's already so much talent here :-)

Re: It's a Trip!

YES!

Nope, I see John Lennon minus the glasses.

Double standards? If another shirt that is this off-theme and standard makes it in the fog, I'll be sure to say the exact same thing. And you were also justifying this entry, not just pointing out my double standards (if you even really intended the latter or it just made good cover).

Edit: in fact, I did it earlier on the "Hallucinations" shirt.

So, back to your terrible argument that it's ok if everyone else does it too? That's cyclical justification for everyone since everyone else did it.

[MOD: Oh HI you two! Can we get back to discussing the shirt? THANKS!]

See the picture on the left of the yellow woot shirt?

ThunderThighs wrote:Just because you see fractals as "I think of way more patterning, way more color, way more trippyness," doesn't mean everyone else the world does. I agree that it's completely on topic as the derby description clearly mentions fractals. It doesn't say fractals as defined by Adder. I see the fractals growing out of the edges of the limbs.

To tell someone that they are completely wrong in their opinion is pretty arrogant.

Fractals are not in and of themselves psychedelic. They are a part of it. This is still off theme. And opinions are only as good as the evidence to back them up. The image you linked is not at all similar to this entry, because, well, obvious fractals are involved in the image you linked and not in the entry. It's pretty staggering how unsimilar the two images are. Ergo, this entry is still not remotely psychedelic.

Um....your link actually backs up licking Colorado River toads as they do excrete DMT. The only legend part was about hippies.

Its a trap

Re: Round Trippin'

Hmm, really good psychedelic style and patterns, but it also somehow reminds me of Christmas when I look at it. Maybe if you changed the backround color?

Re: Tree Frog

Wow... absolutely amazing.

You do not have to like it..but it appears the staff does in fact think it is on theme.

Like the color contrast on this one

bassanimation wrote:You do not have to like it..but it appears the staff does in fact think it is on theme.

This is less fractal than broccoli. Which, ironically, is also more psychedelic.

There's really not much in the way of the repeating patterns and fine structures that define fractals, nor in the way of the palettes, patterns, and mind-expansion which defines psychedelia. You may have staff backing, but it's not really meaningful because none of this is recursive, which is the nature of the fractal, and again, fractalness is not in and of itself psychedelic. Y'all love to harp on one smidge of the theme and make it seem like it's the be all and end all, but the theme is not "vaguely fractal." It's "psychedelia." And this does not fit.

bassanimation wrote:You do not have to like it..but it appears the staff does in fact think it is on theme.

Now you're abandoning your first two arguments and moving behind someone else?

And no. A member of the staff thinks it's on theme. Last I checked, one person is not equivalent to a ubiquitous opinion of a group of people. But even if the staff did think this is on topic -- or more accurately, they don't care if it's off -- we don't need to agree with them. They surely don't always agree with us. This is both the beauty and the curse of shirt.woot. We, as voters, have the power to do our own pseudo-rejection by not voting. However, time and time again, voters (apparently including some artists) don't care if something is not on theme because "it's so pretty."

Adder has explained why he thinks this is of theme. I will add that it is absolutely generic -- how many times have we seen trees and those stupid sound effect things? So instead of making ad hominem arguments about how I have double standards (proven false), defend the shirt. How is it on theme? The picture ThunderThighs posted did nothing whatsoever to defend it in my mind as it was completely and absolutely different.

Dear Shirt, please go back into the fog. Thank you.

Would you still remember me?

Six colors on grass: Violet, blue, green, yellow, red, black.
(Indigo and orange are done through half-tones.)

I really like rainbow-colored images.

Re: Schrodinger's Cat

I loves this design. Excellent colors, great subject material, wonderfully executed! A+++

Re: Sugar Rush

The design itself is kinda cool - but the shirt color and the grey do nothing for it... How about a bright shirt - and something brighter than the grey in the lollipop?

Incredibly happy to see this over here. Hope it snags a print.

Ha. I hope the same. I love pretty much all your work, but your psychedelic designs are by far my favorite. Best of luck to you.

kylemittskus wrote:Now you're abandoning your first two arguments and moving behind someone else?

Nope. I'm simply abandoning an unwinable argument with people who have no intention of hearing anything I have to say with any grain of respect . It wouldn't matter what I say or how I say it, because if I don't agree with you 110%, it won't be good enough.

Also Thunder has asked us to knock it off. I'll happily oblige, as I respect the staff enough to cool it...
