Hey, you did a fine job on the shark.

Re: Shark Theory

That is true. (And Sharks are not the easiest thing in the world to draw.)
You're holding back on us Jeanerz!

Re: Test Tube Baby

Aw, sorry to see this out of the fog PS. You really worked some magic differentiating it from the original design. Plus, adorable.

Re: Little Scientist

Very cool website Kate! I just checked it out !

Re: Number Nine

Wow, I really like the *concept*, but the end result is blush-worthy. Maybe you could make the gas further removed from the test tube and off to the side? Great idea, though.

meh, i was thinking that if anyone else who is horrible at math has the same thought they would look at mine and then see the edit and it would be answered, and it would give them some small comfort to know that they are not alone in their aggravation against math, haha. apparently a lot of people don't read the comments before they post however. i have always had a problem "reading math" when i say it out loud it confuses me. when i see graham cracker over 2 in my head i say graham cracker divided by 2 which then makes me imagine two delicious halves of a graham cracker.

Re: 5 Second Rule

I love this! :D

Re: Free Fall Test

Thanks everyone for all the support! I'm really happy to see I'm still getting back in the fog after being bounced in and out for a bit. This seems like a particularly tough derby!

@hollywoodjane, sTyLeS, Assassin15, Spiritgreen, sogj, Siax, smirksy, SnowQueenVT, Cantatus, be10der2me, megsck, walmazan, - Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it.

@jasneko and SydsKid - Ugh man the coloring gave me a lot of trouble. I settled on Asphalt because I could use the shirt color for shading on most of the items. But I did try some other colors.

@AdderXYU - Dolphins were a huge part of the book series, they were even on the cover for book 4.

@endangeredomega - LOL, The frog hat design was the first I did. Holds a special place in my heart. I also learned that you shouldn't put words low on a shirt, the word balloon sneaks right under my friend's boob.

As to references I tend to be too coy with them, I feel like I should have pushed this one much more. Sadly most of the changes would have been pretty subtle as well. LOL. I feel a bit weird getting so much dialog on it considering how soft the reference really is, there's no copyrighted characters, no logo, and I didn't even mention it in the write up. Ah well, next time I will really commit!

@Darquis - I would have had to make a different joke then one I did. Therefore it'd be hard to say what the voting would have been like.

@laughalot, jewelwing, and lucky1988 - I'm glad people can enjoy it without needing to know the reference. That whale was a ton of fun to draw.

@BaldBob007 - That's actually hard to know for sure... as the design itself would be quite different to support a different theme or point. I mean if you just jack hammered out the reference and crow bared in something else yeah, I don't think it'd do this well but I don't create designs that way.

@Muppethero, patioplr - Consider the lines as more an iconic representation of the falling motion and not actual air rushing past them.

@jstjred - Radio broadcast =D

I'm vegetarian and don't care for marshmallows so no big loss. I've met vegans who eat s'mores and when I point out where gelatin comes from, they say, "lighten up"! All bets are off when it comes to melty treats...

Re: Reproducing Results

Thanks for the votes so far! Hopefully I will continue to improve my Paint.Net skills. :-)

Doh! Can't argue that. Good call...

I still don't get why you forgot your towel. That alone was reason to avoid voting. (Which is apparently not necessary due to the overwhelming support. Congratulations by the way.)

Ugmonk inspired? Nice clean design.

thatrobert wrote:The way Pi was discovered was precisely the scientific method: mathematicians observed, made a hypothesis, and then either proved or disproved their theory.

If the theme was "science" and not "scientific method", I might agree with you.

True, but this shirt, well executed while it may be, does not detail that method. It is just a number on a shirt. That makes it science at best, and not really the scientific method. It's definitely off-topic, but hey, at least it's well done and not blatantly pandering.

My book comment came as backlash (still) from the LOTR movies where I actually heard a kid say "Man...they totally set that up for a sequel." Then about a year after they were all out, someone made a reference to LOTR, to which someone else replied "Oh, I've never seen the movies, I don't know what you are talking about."

It hurts when great works are reduced to movies, then the book never gets read. Ugh. I'll even be honest, I watched the Hitchhikers guide movie BEFORE I read the book...but did the right thing and went back to read the book.

LOL, the series has gone through so many formats over the years.

You're right I totally forget my towel, I'll just have to remember not to panic. (I'm still sort of expecting to drop out of the fog any time now, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed - ha ha ha ha and there I go, right out of the fog. HEH. Ah well.) Thanks! =]

Re: Albert Funkenstein and The Scientific Method!

Hey guys and gals wanted to give a big thank you everyone voting.
I appreciate the support so much.
I hope it continues.

I don't have the internet presence that many of the other artists have such as RamyB or others which seem to have a strong following since they have been doing this much longer than me.

So that's where your help comes in.
Please feel free to share this design on FB, Twitter, etc asking for more support.
I personally love this design and want it to print if not here... somewhere, and your support can make that happen.

Here's to being a dreamer!

I see your point but this (and many other entries) are showing the results/verification of the scientific method.

Other than that I find the concept fantastic.

keelhaulkate wrote:i actually like the comic style of this. good job

Thanks both of you.
This design was kind of last minute and needed to get the idea out there. I could have spent more time on the layout of the panels and possible shapes of them maybe to make the design for the shirt more dynamic but it still would have been a panel to panel story. I also think the design would be stronger with words "The Scientific Method" beneath and the numbers 1-3 in each panel with the label of "observe" "Test" and "report". also I wonder if it would look better on black or a darker color. I don't know. Thats my own crit on my own work.
Any other thoughts?

Re: Albert Funkenstein and The Scientific Method!

I really love that big bass player in the back (left) he makes it for me. Who ever he is, is now my favorite scientist! Seriously, your artwork is great. You do humans sooo well. This design is very cool.

You have only been submitting for 2 months, but people are going to get to know you.

At 1st Because of your screen name I thought you were female, now know you are a dude! Is Midge in honor of your little kid? Well, keep the characters coming

You know you totally already got my vote . Wish I could hear these guys rip out a tune or two!

I am not a math whiz, but I think this equation is perfect. And, I LOVE that it ends in happiness. If I could vote a dozen times, you'd get all of them!!

Have fun and we will be happy to hear you've arrived safe and sound.

lol thanks. I googled for how to draw a shark. I found a fairly simple looking one and tried to mimic the important parts.

Thank you SnowQueenVT. I appreciate you support. Much love here! Yeah I'm a guy and the screen name has a back story but suffice to say my nickname to my friends is "Midge" short for last name.
I have 2 groups on FB dedicate to my stuff.
one for my designs click here and one for my webcomic bloodhound.
Check em out and join.

and BTW, the bass player is Charles "Chuck" Darwin.

Re: Albert Funkenstein and The Scientific Method!

See what great taste I have? Choosing Darwin?(Whom I know nothing about!)...now I am interested enough to investigate...thank you , I will enjoy that. Your shirt really is great. Yes, I checked out Blood hound VERY cool!!! Very pleased to enjoy your artwork, because it is so very wolverinetastic!!!

Re: Double Helix

seeing this shirt -
I'm now I guess in the anti-ramyb camp. it just follows the pattern he has set if you read through his history here at woot.

if you are using fake marshmallows, you are making fake s'mores, so your at the end of the equation needs to be in quotations, because it's fake happiness, or ""

Re: Double Helix

I'd just like to point out that if I buy a derby shirt, in a week when I finally get to wear it, no one is going to know what derby it was from, what the rules were, and if it was "on topic" or not. If they do, then they hang out at this site more than most parents on Facebook.

Aside from who created the shirt or if it is on topic (because that is shirt.woot!'s problem), I have to ask myself this question: "Do I like it?".

And the answer here is yes.
