Turns out, they were already in love with the thread version and rose against the big moon version.

Sorry if I'm getting confused, but I thought you'd accidentally used both versions in this resub. I figured you were intending to go with the small, high moon as people seem to prefer it (I do!) but the larger image still shows the original, low, big moon.

(Maybe they don't have to match? I'm not clear on the rules - but I thought you guys *meant* for the two images here to be the same but had made a mistake. I was only saying it to try to be helpful. ^_^)

Re: oh the huge manatees!!

oh i cant stop laughing! GMV! GMV!

Re: It Came For Cotton Candy

Simply and brilliantly wonderful! I could rave about this design for paragraphs!

The beautiful line work on the Capitol building, the fun and simplicity of the monster, the texture on the cotton candy, the use of the Washington monument as the stick, and the absolute brilliance of giving us just the outline of all the attacking military vehicles and men, which makes it a definite and noticeable part of illustration, yet leaves the focus exactly where it should be - the monster!

I am simply blown away by this, spiritgreen. It would be a crime if this isn't available Friday morning.

PS - This is also the only illustration recently with falling bombs that isn't trite and overdone.

Re: oh the huge manatees!!

Crazy drawing. Really crazy colors. File this under 'so crazy it might just work'. :^)

Re: It Came For Cotton Candy

Great illustration. You just keep cranking out quality work, week after week.

thanks! I first sketched it LAST August, and always wanted a green glow around the manatees and in their eyes. The ground...mebe not so much. ;^)

I appreciate you. So you know, I haven't slept at ALL and everything is becoming extremely amusing so that wasn't meant to be taken negatively.

The thumbnail image has to match the shirt design. All they care about is the design ON the shirt. You see people do a low opacity version behind the image. Drakxxx does it on most comps. This was intended to show the detail of the bottom and then the ghosted image of the moon at a low opacity. Drakxxx sent me the comp just to see what I thought and I liked the idea of a close up moon. SO, I delayed him and made a version similar to that. We debated about which to go with and wondered what headaches would ensue. Yep. Haha. Oh well. Vote for "Duck and Cover" when it hits. Only ONE version of that coming out :P

And you know, as long as you all are saying "liked better", that's cool. At least it's not "sucked less".

Re: I Bet It's Better There...V2

I definitely like this version better than the other one.

Re: So this is how it ends

Wicked design, especially the colors and the cosmos effect behind the fighters.

Really nice. +1

Re: The Very Last Drop

Cool to see some Wotto magic in the woot derby!

Re: Zombie apocalypse

Oh, gawd, rofl. This is hysterical! Very nice, Naolito

Re: The four Horsemen

Omelets made great! It's Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein and Hillary Clinton!

Re: The Very Last Drop

Your design is rather intriguing, I really like it. I also love the placement, good choice.

Re: Unexpected Error

Heehee, very nice illustration. I'm all about the firefox there. ;)

There is no excuse for that.

Re: Oops!

Simple yet creative. Also...orange?! I need an orange shirt.

Re: Killer Saturn

...and it never needs sharpening!

Re: The Last One

Impressive artwork as always, Deadfrog. As the others have already mentioned, beautiful colors and the design just keeps drawing you in further. Lovely!

Re: The end of the world series

Walmazan, if I am ever a famous celebrity, I'm going to make you my personal clothing designer. I can see it now...walking the red carpet in adorable tees, and everyone will swoon.

Ok, maybe not everyone would swoon, but I would totally act like they were. Love all of your designs, this one is for me! ++++++1

Waves of fury!

Re: I Bet It's Better There...V2

*Clapping* Gorgeous work, truly. I really like the colors you chose for this. Here's hoping it will print.

Re: So this is how it ends

Ah, I love the colors, nice job. I also dig how they're softly illuminated.

Don't forget your little insult on the way out. :D

Thanks for the votes and comments. This is my first woot derby entry

Re: oh the huge manatees!!

This looks really great, although I'm not a huge fan of the green on the ground. I like it around right around the manatees, but not feeling the rest of it.

...do you think someone from SyFy might see this and add it to their mutated/genetically altered "insert animal/insect" movie of the week? The thought makes me giggle.

Re: The Very Last Drop

What a great illustration. There's so much to look at, lots of interesting little details. I really like it.

I'm worried for you about your design placement, it appears to be outside the template area that woot allows.

You got my vote, if your design gets rejected, you'll get it again! Good luck!

Re: The four Horsemen

Oh, my god...that's just evil. I'm shuddering at this very moment.

Re: DoomsDay By Shark.....like wtfudge!

Ahaha, nice! I love sharks and after watching Shark Week, makes this even funnier.

Re: The Fat Lady Sings!

very gotterdammerung

truly the immolation of Brunhilde

a Wagnerian Epic of a shirt

Re: The four Horsemen

Now we know what was in that purse - weapons!

Re: death by bird

This isn't really the end of the world; it's more like the end of one life. Narcissists always confuse the two.

Re: I Bet It's Better There...V2

I think the moon should be somewhere in between and I liked the clouds from the rough drawing. The black and white version is great also and could totally work on a white tee. The colors almost seem to take away the impact for me.

Thanks fivedoorsvt - I was showing that placement as an alternative to front and centre so I hope they don't reject this on that basis. I might cry ;)

Re: It Came For Cotton Candy

Looking good, SG! You did a great job. I only hope that when aliens DO invade, all they'll want is cotton candy. If they want all our chocolate, we might have a problem. :P

Re: Tweet This!

It's really funny your dad believes that. I remember reading a couple blogs here and there, where the author believed that Twitter will be the end of our world. Cute and funny, nice!

Spiritgreen wrote:Super illustration, specsmachine!

(And high-five for a fellow destroyer of the Washington monument. :D)

Thanks, Spirit. I like how consistently clean and polished your look is. (I'm guessing mostly vectors?) It doesn't hurt that your ideas bring a smile to my face on a regular basis. Your style is infectiously envious. I abandoned vectors on this entry just because it takes me TOO long. Your ability to put out such quality work in such a short timespan is amazing. I definitely tip my cap to you, and throw a vote your way.

Re: pandemonium

I'd like it more if the white was actually filled in white.

Re: The end of the world series

Very similar to a t-shirt I own, except that its a dinosaur with a tree trunk bat instead of the earth.

Give us your best take on the end of it all

The design looks really cool. But this shirt shows post-apocalypse, not the actual apocalypse.

The placement wouldn't be a problem with the common man's basement rig. I don't know about how the commercial machine thang works, though. Either way it's good, and placement is easily remedied.
