She wont keep singing if she keeps that smoking!

Re: In Repair

Our Mighty Feast Gobbles! seriously it's a travesty I can't have all these shirts in the fog =(

Re: Iris

When color was suggested, I'm pretty sure everyone meant 'a shirt color woot offers'.

sorry, they don't have this lovely shade of lavendar, so this will be rejected.

Re: Lunacy

I like the way you used the phases of the moon for this.

Re: White Nosed Reindeer

Honestly the crosshatching is so fine it doesn't feel like "real" crosshatching. To me, halftones aren't pointillism and this isn't hatching.

Re: Squeeze

Squeeze this.

Just a simple artsy design.. atleast vote if you like it. Thanks.

p.s. First entry using a pen pad... my hubby got me one as a surprise.

Re: Ill-gotten Trinkets

Want. little mermaid was always my favorite!

I think it would be so much more visually interesting if the line color was done in the lavender, instead of having this big lavender oval demarcating the space.

I've actually considered doing this before. Got called into a meeting and was wearing a white undershirt. I have sharpies in the desk drawer...

If it prints I can wear it daily just in case.

Thanks for looking =)

Love the idea, but it's kind of only for guys.

It looks like halftones in the form of a line rather than a dot. Completely misses the spirit of the derby.

Re: The Pray Mantis and the Window

The mantis is awesome, but I don't get the boxes? They just seem to be extraneous and distracting...

This reminds me of a Kris Kuksi Sculpture:

unfortunately people will go for this instead of original artistry.. not knocking the work.. just imho hatching is much more than this.

does anyone read? you can have hatching. as long as you have one color

Re: THE LAST BATTLE

You can feel the tension in the air right before the action starts!


good stuff.

Re: party owl

arent' ALL owls, party owls?


really digging the character of this one.

Re: party owl

i love this! lol the expression on his face is the best

Re: Muahahahaha!

I feel when I wear this, I should do dastardly deeds.

Is the use of reference completely outlawed? I changed the tilt of the head, the expression the shape of the eye, added some depth and contour. So NO it's not a "direct copy" It was drawn not traced.

I guess it's up to the judges.

Since I'm giving my unsolicited opinion, a higher placement would be nice too, maybe also scaled down by 10%-20%. ;P

i will check it out, just for you tho

Re: The Pray Mantis and the Window

wow great job on the mantis. but the design would be much better (IMO) without the boxes. maybe a different color too.. im not a big fan of bright colors on black but maybe that's just me. a resub would probably get a vote from me

Re: The Turtle Moves

The turtle is perfect.

you should actually read the rules

Re: I Dare You!!

This is very cute...but needs to be re-submitted on the heather grey template or it will likely be rejected.

Re: Snowflake catchers

nicely done.

Re: Thunderbird

I never seen woot unreject something but....

"They didn't have much at all, really, which is why they invented hatching, also known as cross-hatching (we're calling this Derby cross-hatching so 50 people didn't immediately start sketching cracked eggs before reading this far)."

Hatching is okayed in the themes write up (was only called cross-hatching to avoid confusion, right?). My design, as well as many other, use hatching and not cross hatching. Why does this one get picked on? I see hatching throughout the design.

O well, I am sure you have your reasons...

Re: Warpigs

Beautifully rendered, and the color choice gives it a cool vintage vibe.

JesseBYAH wrote:Really? I have a cream shirt. It's pretty creamy. Doesn't seem too dark or anything... I think the purple would look awesome printed.

Well, in some ways I agree that "cream" looks like "cream" but I have noticed that the shirt comps on woot make it look like pink, and the two I own make it look more like a very light brown.

I still think this would look amazing on it, just not like the pinkish hue implied by the digital image.

ok thank you

Re: Up From The Wood

Beautiful. A cream coloured shirt would have been even better (for me).

I do not understand why some people attack some shirts for not having cross hatching, but they let others slide. plus no where in the rules does it say it has to be cross hatched, just hatched,actually just one color really.

Hopefully it shows well on your screen. You should see the side profile of a woman's face, made out of crosshatched butterflies!

I don't know. A little rotating and it looks pretty bang on to me. I made yours 50% opaque so we can see the original through it.
