Re: The Physical Impossibility of Death...

Great detail on the tank Spiritgreen, and love the textures - it all works very well together!

Re: The Physical Impossibility of Death...

Might be one of the few light blue shirts I really like.

Re: Bits and Pieces Put Together ...

Hubby & I both voted for this & it's still showing Zero votes & a ranking of 9999th !!! waht's up with that!??? I guess the 'powers that be' don't want to give this design a shot at winning!

The rules for this derby specifically say:

You must title your submission with the name of the Famous Work you're reinterpreting.

Best to re-sbumit, methinks.

Here’s the original, a self portrait by Pablo Picasso. You can clearly see that the same amount of artistry and skill has gone into mine.

Found it.

Similar shirts exist.

Yes, the concepts are too similar in my opinion. It's a bit close to this one as well:

Nice work all the same, but the "nature robot" has been done to death IMHO.

1000 apologies for hefty halftones, perspective impurities, and painted anthropomorphized canine quasimisidentifications. I just like hot dogs. They make mouths happy!

Yep, I did. The title of the original work is Yo, Picasso. It's a self portrait.

Re: Mucha's Zodiac

Mucha Rules!

I tried a few different colored versions, but I really like this simple one the best. 2 colors on cream.

Re: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp

Very Good, I instantly knew the piece you were re-interperating when I saw the thumbnail. Good Job! <3 Gingerbread Cookies

Re: The Thinker

Walmazan your my hero! +1!!!

Re: The Scream

I think this is the best re-interpretaion thus far. I get the same eerie feeling looking at the original work. The awesome part is, I would so wear this shirt. GMV

So... apparently anything with a robot is now old?? I got owned by woot! do you people do all day? Sit around trying to find something that's barely even remotely close to something else and twist your panties over it?

I think it's a fantastic shirt. GMV and I'll buy it if it wins.

Re: Flower Carrier

Just embedding images of the two other t-shirts that have been specifically mentioned.





Though, it seems to me that since the derbies are strictly popularity contests, it's inevitable that a lot of the winners will be similar to each other.

Indeed, if you are concerned more with winning than artistry, presumably you should mine previous winners for your design ideas. (I do not intend this as any kind of comment on patrickspens motivations or art. In fact, this entry GMV.)

Re: The Persistence of Memory

I want this so very very badly!

Re: Dogs Playing Poker

I really like this one; I voted, but for some reason it seems to have sucked my vote up without counting it. It says your entry has 35 total votes in the hotlist, but with 43 votes in the past 3 hours. Is something broken?

Re: Winged Victory

This is really sweet. I can see people's issue with the 'one leg' thing, but I didn't notice it until people pointed it out. I really like this, great work DeadFrog. Your skills always amaze me!

Re: Inspired by The Great Wave

Great design, great presentation.. gmv!

Re: Bird in Space.

I really liked this one in the idea thread, and still do. It's a really cool take and something about this image is really memorable. +1!

Sorry. I forgot that "Yo" is a non-slang word in other languages.

Re: The Mermaid

I really love the changes to the hair, Jasneko! I like this version a lot, very pretty! Also, mermaids are timeless lore. There's so many rich legends about them. Love! +1

Re: The Treachery of Images

nicely done ..i like it - even though i'm aweful at that game ... and the french text is a nice touch

Re: The Physical Impossibility of Death...

Wonderful. Every time I look at it I cant stop laughing.

Always assume conspiracy. They so often turn out to be true.

Anyway, this entry has been re-submitted, presumably to placate those of us with crappy monitors. Go vote for the re-sub.

Re: Bits and Pieces Put Together ...

On behalf of everyone with crappy monitors, thank you for cranking up the contrast in the images.

Re: Tommervik's Robin

Prolly gonna get rejected... that's almost exactly the original, just w/different texturing...

Happy Birthday Kenney!!! Nice design!

Re: Mucha's Zodiac

While you've evoked Mucha's style well, and I can appreciate the subtle colour choices, I'm personally not a fan of the low placement. I'm also not sure I'm quite secure enough in my masculinity to wear such a feminine design.

Yeah, I guess it is more of twisted piece of sod that had the sprinkler on it too long, eh? Thanks, Exohdus!

Re: Irises (Van Gogh)

Ohhhhhh... eye get it....



:D

I think this is really cute! Well done artwork too.

Re: American Gothic

Very interesting take, and nicely executed.

I wonder how it would look if you made your images smaller to represent the full flag, but still keep the gothic texture...

I don't think anyone is trying to claim that robots in and of themselves are off-limits for designs. Woot has printed *myriad* robot tees in the past (I myself own at least half a dozen, including the Dsladek design in question.)

However, the difference is that almost all of those shirts featured their own scenario or 'story', if you will. While they all feature robots, no one would accuse "The Awakening", "Squeeze", "Spring-ATRON", "Onward Robots!", "Bird-Powered Robot", "Almost Human", or "The Power of Giving" of being too similar to one another. (Just to name a few examples.)

The issue here is that this *concept* has won a derby before. (Steampunk Robot + Lonely looking bit of foliage.) Even the comments are eerily similar; if I recall correctly, Dsladek's shirt also drew multiple comparisons to Wall-E and the Iron Giant.

Woot claims to be dedicated to printing new and unique pieces; IMHO, examples like this are exactly why the "Similar Shirts Exist" rule was created.

Re: Dogs Playing Poker

WOW ETHERBRIAN!

Nice work here! love it!

These are also my favorite Dali paintings and I would buy this shirt in a heart-beat! I love how fierce this giraffe looks! GMV and good luck!

Re: Flower Carrier
