This alphabet IS the Latin Alphabet. I don't think you can get more latin than pure letters!

bah, i hate when that happens, everythings working out, you got six colors, and then BAM, oh no i forgot about the line drawing.

just use the shirt color instead of the black outline and resubmit! its a great design.

Agreed. I'm a bit amazed at all of the cutesy designs in this derby, as there's nothing really cute about cryptozoology.

But I love this shirt. I really hope it prints.

Re: I Told You It Was Real!

black and white on blue

Re: OWLMAN

you're a cross hatching fool draxx, your linework is beautiful, and i love that the owl looks like he's a moody teenager, uncomfortable with his weird body. =) great job!

Re: Thunderbird Colab

this is rad, my dad loves t-birds (the car) so i might have to just get em' one of these if it prints. great colab you two! +1

Re: Tacos de Chivo

great drawing seed, and sweet color job odessey! my favorite part is how hungry that goat looks for that can =) nice job!

Re: The Reflection

very pretty design, i love the mood it sets. and the placement is great. nice job all around! +1 from me! =)

Re: Yeti and Sasquatch Together at Last

really nice....I'm not a huge fan of your designs usually Patrick - they are always very good, just not what I'd wear - but this one is fantastic, well done!

Re: The Reflection

Some of your best work.

Re: My First Cryptozoology Mix and Match Book

A cryptid has to find out it's origins from a reliable source. For an unconfirmed creature a mix and match book is as good as 'Where Did I Come From?'.

And now I feel the need to inform you that do to the Earth's spin the planet isn't perfectly round. It flattens at the poles and bulges at the equator, its just hard to notice from the surface of the planet ;)

Re: My First Cryptozoology Mix and Match Book

Oh wow, this is excellent! Wonderful idea, and it looks great as a shirt. I love the illustrations inside the book pages. otterific. +1!

It does say "6 colors on asphalt" in the comp under the title. I think he should have resubbed it when I commented about it a couple hours into the derby. Color issues aside, his artwork goes over the collar and even onto the tag.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you're enjoying it! It's good to see that the mood of the piece is coming through.

Re: Thunderbird Colab

This is SO beautiful!!! Amazing, you two! Wow......

I am fairly sure that is just as nitpicky as stating that punctuation isn't text.

Re: OWLMAN

Wow. Fabulous. So pretty. So moody. I love it.

Re: Thunderbird Colab

I love this! I'm also really enjoying all of the recent collaborations, it's nice to see people coming together to create cool stuff.

LOL I heard girls have it pretty rough out there. I talked to another artist who made the leap from my school to move out there. She said it was a trial every day to not want to buy a flamethrower and torch all the hot chicks around town.. Hahahaha!

Re: Akkorokamui-san

nice design. imo the submarine placement could go a little more to the side. it would then slightly resemble one of those alligator or polo shirts.

I was wondering if this is in any way a Decemberists reference? They have one song called Shiny, and another that mentions a will-o-wisp. If not thats cool too, I just thought it might be.

I am actually unfamiliar with that band. They any good?

I chose Will-O-Wisp because I remember it was a creature card from Magic. I use to play that game with my brother in the early/mid 90s.

Honestly, I have no clue were the phrase "Oh Shiny" originated. I just know people use it when they see something appealing, valuable or simple shiny. When I read, "...sometimes said to recede if approached" off the wiki page, I needed a motive for someone to follow it. "Oh Shiny" came to mind fairly quickly (the image on the wiki page probably helped with that). However, if the Decemberist were the first to coin the phrase "Oh Shiny," then yes... I am unwittingly referencing them.

Glad you enjoy it.

Re: Tacos de Chivo

I dislike the halftone shading on the wheels, inner shack, and shack door, but that just a personal preference. However, your characters are sooOOO appealing that I have to vote for this!!!

Nice concept too. Good job!

Re: Kelpie Love

I tried to make a heart...

Re: Real Fake Science Proves It

Cool concept, and great use of a cream tee. :^)
