Ok, thanks. I played around with it and so far I can't get it to look truly recognizable. My perspective is closer to horizontal than vertical so it kind of "blobs" together. I'll try to play with it some more though.

Clever design!

How do we know these GPSs aren't already doing this? It is suspicious that they keep "accidentally" sending me through the worst parts of town, isn't it?

Re: We're all Devo!

It also seems like some kind of explanation of how this represents de-evolution might be helpful. ^_^

Re: We're all Devo!

if this was submitted as a daily and it was un-devo related without the hat i would buy it. dont think this will make it past the rejectioner though.

Re: Deva

Good combination of W-T-F and simple color choice.

Petrochemical Hydrocarbons are our closest allies in the race to de-evolution. METHANE, BENZENE, 1-BUTANE, CYCLOHEXANE, DEVO

Re: feed the human slugs

Edgar and DEVO
A match made in shirt heaven

capedcrusader514 wrote:Thanks, I appreciate all the comments. I think it will survive the rejectionator as I see the shirts quite different. The similar shirts rule while certainly applicable I believe was put in place as a way of deterring shirts that are similar in both design and idea to other shirts. This shirt and the one mentioned use a similar object, certainly, but have different pieces, colors, execution and are used to display different ideas.

Again, thanks for the comments.

I hope you're right, CC - it'd be a shame!

Re: Monkey Suit

Love it! I like how the monkey looks like he's having a serious business-related conversation. GMV!

JesseBYAH wrote:Oh man! That sucks! Personally, I think that if you get a shirt printed at woot, woot should automatically give you a freebie of your own shirt. That just seems logical.

They do, they usually give you a code for 3 free shirts for the artist. If you don't get the code and you have a print, always email the staff and they will help you!

Re: Too Much TV Melts Your Brain

Lovely work. The scaling from left to right almost looks like a power dome, too. Bravo.

bassanimation wrote:Thanks you! I wanted to make something that conveyed a message, but I wanted to avoid overly depressing imagery. I don't know how well I succeeded, but I tried my best.

You did a great job. It has a sort of cold, sci-fi feel about it, but not to an off-putting extent. The color scheme goes a long way to that effect.

Re: devo monster

I find it disturbing that Love, Education and Future are included in the list of bad things.

Re: Whipped into a Frenzy

You are in a class of your own. A+.

Re: Deva

Great job! You took a chance skewing the logo for perspective. They have been very picky this derby.

megsck wrote:this is an awesome idea...but im still (like many others in this derby) am not seeing the de-evolution.

There could be a hat on the sprue...

The clothes could have been the "Kim" suit we saw on TCR....

I had read that it was ok to warp the logo onto an object or space as long as you didn't alter the logo's color or lines. But then I saw someone say you had to have at least one that wasn't warped. I'm not sure how it's working at this point, but I was (and still am) prepared to accept a rejection if they chose to do so.

YinofYang wrote:Phew, I'm so glad to finally see this submitted. I was worried that you weren't going to enter the derby, but I'm glad you did. You two did such a nice job. It looks terrific!

Thank Drakxxx for that. I was all "It's hopeless. Lets trash it!" and he was like "No no, we can save it! CLEAAARRR!!"

Re: Couch Potato

Do you know that this will be evaluated not only by woot voters, but by Devo as well? Why weren't you embarrassed when you posted this?

Re: Don't Shoot

Monkeys are creepy.

Re: feed the human slugs

I'm glad Edgar did a design for Devo, they are both super odd in different ways, but it's an awesome combination nonetheless!

Ahhh I see. I've never been printed. I was just throwing in my 2 cents for Lucky's sake haha

No, I'm pretty that person did not realize it was sarcasm. I am no sure how you could think otherwise.

Re: Scratch the Record

LOL, our dogs are next to eachother. They will be buddies! Come on boy, come out of your cone of shame and run with me!

i think it is because that is has changed a little bit young people see love differently, education for some of them is not so important any more, all they want now to be as movie stars, football or over sport players... And in this way future is in danger.

Re: WORK AND PLAY

It's really good. I love the details.

Re: Devostation

As always awesome work +1

bassanimation wrote: I read an article recently about how kids coming out of college and high school right now are totally lacking in empathy.

I also read somewhere that people who read fiction tend to be more empathetic. Probably something to do with seeing things from another perspective.

Anyway, nice illustration. The colors and floating nature of the hair almost make it look like they're underwater. I love the symbolic nature of the bubbles too.

Re: 3-D(EVO)

Cool way to make use of the blue logo. Did you intend to reference the disastrous 3-D concert?

Re: De-evolution of the individual.

definitely GMV, Chad. This is pretty offical!

Re: WORK AND PLAY

You two should honestly start an design agency together. Between the two of you, you have more illustration skill than most people would know what to do with. Your styles realy mesh well. You two would rock at general ad work, books, maybe posters... I bet you could make a decent attempt at it anyway. Just a thought.
GMV as always.

I do not know whether to be happy or sad about that..lol!

well woot shirts are pretty awesome. =D

As for ties being phallic, I was told a tie was simply a guide for those who need a little help finding their way, they could just follow the arrow.

That is all. Thank you. Nicely done Professor Skek.

Thanks KtC! Funny story. Interesting thing about being a professor is I don't have to wear ties anymore. As my students could attest, I've been known to wear a Woot shirt to class.

And to everyone voting for this design, I truly am grateful!

Re: The Weight of It All

This is great! I love how the colors really pop. GMV I hope it prints!

Re: feed the human slugs

Always awesome... I love the slugs. This looks so much like a concert T-shirt. If they pick this, I certainly hope they ask you for some art for the back where they put the concert dates/locations!

Re: What We Do

I removed it and fixed the logo color and some other things.
I'm still learning to comprehend fine print.
