Obviously you've never heard of parody. May God help your soul should you ever hear the musical styling of Weird Al Yankovic.

Love the concept. Great collab!

I love the design. I was thrown off by the splots around the fox. Wish you'd gone for a white shirt.

Re: Desperate Measures

Haaaa! So adorable lucky - love it!! <3 (Wish it were on another color though so I would buy it, I'm asphalted out).

corrected the link for the nerds guide to unicorn meat shirt. thanks for letting me know

Re: Don't even ask

I LOVE IT and plan to buy multiples if its choosen. yes bunnies are my fav as well along with ferretts, cats, bats and a few birds. If it's so copy and paste direct me to the shirts that are being produced so I can buy it.

it's on theme and I must say its one of the few that put a smile on my face. the others I liked where a wow thats art on a shirt.

Re: Narwhals playing darts

Very nice design and great characters.
Completely original idea & that's more than 1/2 the battle. Kudos!
Mayhaps vary the width of the stroke for curvy cartoon-esque dimension? Of course, that's how I do it, so maybe I'm just biased. ;D
Good work!

Re: Fragile! Not a toy.

Great concept! Love the personification, wearing clothes. :D

This is acceptable. Definitley.

Well, there is the question of whether the artist used gradients or violated the (new-ish) LPI rule ... which I can't tell from this shirt comp, but the close-up of the eye has me wondering.

Re: Oh Ship!

In the 1840s, arctic expeditions weren't always successful. This shirt shows a stranded ship on "Maybe we shouldn't have joined the navy".

Re: Arctic Extinctions

Yes, there were once dinosaurs in the Arctic!

Even if it printed well... it still looks like something you'd get off the rack at an Alaska rest stop shop.

kimos wrote:I love the design. I was thrown off by the splots around the fox. Wish you'd gone for a white shirt.

hmm.. A lot of people like the splots. Going for an ethereal snowy feel. Plus, If it was on a white shirt then not that many people would buy it. White doesn't do well. If it did, I'm a pen and pencil artist by nature and well, I'd do that all the time. As for the gradients, I am wondering if this will be rejected. I'm not sure exactly what qualifies as gradients, and the detail for pencil drawings may be impossible for woot shirts to print. Which will make me sad. I'm not sure how to check the lpi in my drawings to make sure they are up to snuff. If anyway can give me tips so that I don't go to lengths just to make a shirt that barely isn't doable, I would be very grateful. Maybe even a woot staffer, eh?

PS. If it's not acceptable (since it's not going to win right now) just email me.

Thanks for checking it out, and the cool comment, uniique.

this shirt wins in the context of designing something related to the Sierra Club in the sense that it kind of conveys a purpose - these are the animals of the Arctic and the environment they live in, don't you want to protect them? Also, it looks like the styles of the artists ^^.

There I go again, logged in under the wife's account. :P
Still thanks, uniique.

nice job, and I like how it is applicable to artic awareness and artic love :D

Which is why it's so popular with Woot voters!

ramyb wrote:It's really amazing the way that biases can work. Out of the entire derby, there are exactly 2 entries so far that aren't tied to the theme by "animals that live in the arctic." My interpretation of the theme was exactly the same as every other designer that chose to enter, and if you haven't figured out that bunnies are my favorite yet, I will just tell you right now that they are

You stand up to criticism well. Hats off to you.

Re: Outfoxed

We need more votes here!! Out of all the designs this week (many nice ones) this is the only one I really want to buy!

intriguing concept and well drawn., It's serene and seems like it would facilitate contemplation about environmental problems.

Re: northern light

THis should definitely rock the top spot!

I read through about the first half of this thread. Suffice to say, jealousy breeds contempt.

Earlysong wrote:I think most people will disagree with your assessments. I disagreed with almost all of them.

No, most people actually agree with me based off my track record. I vote for 2-3 shirts every derby, sometime 1 or 2 more if there are a lot of good shirts. 9 out of every ten derbies I vote for at least one of the top 3 if not 2 of them (Only hit all 3 twice in the last two years). So, I would say that my opinion is pretty close the the majority of voters.

Wonderful, playful design. Very creative.

Someone's frozen desert is someone else's paradise.

Here's a closer look.

Thanks!

THIS DOES NOT MAKE YOU WANT TO SAVE THE ARCTIC. In fact, it makes you want to see global warming accelerated.

QUESTION MARK

Mods, where are you when it comes to rejecting the tees that most deserve it? This is so far from being theme-appropriate that it shouldn't have last an hour, especially when so many far, far more on-topic designs have been rejected. Why is it that ramy so often seems to be above the rules? That's not cool.

1.) There are no rabbits in the arctic, and those cannot be hares. So even if you are trying to convey 'the arctic' by drawing something that vaguely suggests snow, the rabbits make that impossible.

2.) A vague drawing of snow does not equal the arctic, anyway, as those above me have said. (Julias are always wise, also.)

3.) It's interesting that the VERY FIRST GOOGLE IMAGE that shows up when you search for 'arctic bunny' (or even 'arctic rabbit' - which is NOT the species in the picture or in your drawing) is the picture claim 'inspired' you.

And before anyone accuses me of being a ramy hater - I'm not, and have voted on and bought multiple designs by him. True, I may dislike the majority of his work and especially his most popular designs, but I don't have any issue with him overall because he's capable of great art at times. But this flamboyant disregard for the topic is simply unacceptable.

kawarazu wrote:THIS DOES NOT MAKE YOU WANT TO SAVE THE ARCTIC. In fact, it makes you want to see global warming accelerated.

Noooo! If anything it should make you want a painting polar bear or a narwhal that spews rainbows. But it's also true that can't be good for the narwhal.

Good work!

thanks for the suggestion i will keep it in mind. actually started doing that on this one in the fins but was having issues with the rest of the body so i backed off. using illustrator
mostly for this and dont have a tablet for photoshop so its a little hard at times

Re: Curled Fox (RE-SUB)

Looks cool, but my main concern is how the pencil marks will translate to a print on a t-shirt. It looks like it has way too many values of gray to be able to make the transition. If it does, then great! But I'm afraid Woot won't be able to work with this.
