Re: Mission: Find your food - avoid your foe!

The distressing is uneven, perhaps deliberately so. Otherwise, simple and effective. I think I could see me wearing this.

Re: Rise of the Goblin King

too bad this wasn't last week's derby and this placed today, being bowie's birthday and all, it would have been a nifty coincidence.

still hoping for a place next weekend, either way. best of luck.

Re: Deep Thought

I am so disappoint. And yet somehow - refreshed!
I saw the title and started looking for mice as soon as the page loaded. I LOVE Doug Adams' work, and miss the reference. but the other side of me applauds that it really isn't there.
It's just so, like, done, ya know?

penrod--it's a reference to Silence of the Lambs

penrod - but tweaked. 'It puts the lotion on its skin...'
It's pretty, color-wise, but I don't think the comp works. Maybe it's me, but the graphic shapes are too obscure from the lamb/manhole. Just the latter would have worked great, IMHO.

O. Wait. But then it couldn't be wedged into the theme. I get it.
I'm not a big fan.

Re: Lost Forever

this is very slick. love the mobius loop as your medium

Re: Returning Home

nice! this design totally stands on it's own even beyond the contest theme. very cool

Re: The Power of Cheese

Great toon-like panel and comp. I dunno, not sure the borders are too boxy. Though a few more nibbles a the edges...? My only other quibble is with the Minotaur's right leg. It seems wonky to me, though without a larger pic, I'm not sure.
Tip: supply an image tag larger view(s), or a link to hosted files so folks can really get the whole picture.

Re: Internal Maze

GREAT maze. Not so much as a tee, for me. I just can't do it.

Re: A Glowy Maze

Well, I wanted to get on a roll and start entering the derbies every week, but this theme has my creativity stumped a bit, so...

Re: Rise of the Goblin King

Reminds me of DeadFrog's "A Distinct Possibility". Loved that shirt and would by this one too.

Re: BOWIE'S LABYRINTH

I like the idea behind this. Not crazy about the design. I'd like to see any other takes the designer has in the same vein.

This is gorgeous!

I wasn't logged in. I literally logged in to vote for this.

Re: Backseat Maze Masters

I love the scheme color, the idea (in my opinion, the most original so far) and the excelent execution. You have my vote :-).

Good luck in the fog.

Re: Rise of the Goblin King

Dead? Frog? I am reasonably sure I saw you sub under this appelation at least once before, and the art tells. So I'm saying 'DeadFrog'. I think you even posted that you were changing accounts?
So, Mike - as always, amazing. I just wish, Wish, WISH you didn't feel compelled to work on white. I LOVE this and would kill to have it.
On any other color. I have A Distinct Possibility, as well as KDeuce's Sullen. I love them both, but almost never wear them because the white tees are so semi-trans.
Don't get me wrong - the fact that my skin shows through is only a part of the problem. But because of the transparency, viewers are somewhat more attracted. And not in a good way. And it doesn't matter what size/shape you are. White is for wedding gowns. Maybe.
Me so sad.

oops yes it does lol I need new glasses sorry

Re: lLabyrithine Suburbia

You know you will get hopelessly lost when you are told that the address is "just a couple of turns off the freeway"!

I've literally sold and played ceramic ocarinas with the symbol on it. Nintendo does not have copyright on the symbol. Just the game and characters.

This is neat, kudos on making a real maze. I have tried and failed. Off to Failland I go.

LOL, I'm always really happy to know when my stuff reminds people of food. Everyone loves cake... don't eat the kitty though, they don't tend to like that. =D

I had to restart a few times with the maze on this kitty. It seems that getting the patterns to look right and behave correctly just takes a little time to get use to.

Re: The Amazing Zebra Maze

This is an actual working maze with only one solution--in case you were wondering.
Good luck!

Yeah, he mentioned it in the Cryptozoology derby ( I believe that the right one). "There can only be one" which depicted big foot "stalking" nessy.... I loved that design.

Re: Rise of the Goblin King

Thanks for all the fun comments everyone!

I am, in fact, DeadFrog; at least I was. I switched a while ago and then dropped off the map working on school stuff.

Lagbert wrote:I like to use negative space where ever possible, so I made the walls out of negative space. My thought was the walls of a maze on a sheet of paper are black, so the light areas are the potential path.

I figured it was a negative space maze. But, there are still plenty of "outs" following the line you showed me (thanks, by the way). I still stand by my first reaction. Cool idea but would have been better with no way out.

Thank you, kevlar. I am glad you enjoy it

I'll take it! And you may have just mistyped, but the shirt is actually cream color. The bright blue might be casting a color illusion. The shirt color does have a warmth to it though.

fishbiscuit5 wrote:Cute idea! I really like the way you drew the jellyfish in the background and the choice to use pink and teal appeals to my girly side. :D Well done!

thanks, fishbiscuit. I am trying to appeal to more people. Stereotypically put, most my past designs are "guy" designs. I want to change that so I am glad it "appeals to my girly side."

Cool. I am glad you feel that way. I like to be original when I can I spend all week doing generic designs for other people, so when it comes to this derby, I try to stay clear of doing something that has been done before, generic/ bland, or using pre-existing characters to form parody. Sometimes I buckle if I have an idea I don't want to pass up, but I feel that rarely happens.

Thanks again, All !!!

I'll need to wait until the 60 days are over until I can print it (as per Woot rules). After that, I'll put it in my tastictees spreadshirt store!

oh yeah, i totally spaced that. 60 day countdown for worm goodness ;D

Re: Like a Fat Kid Love Cake

So envious of your amazing skill with tooning, Omnitarian. I love all of your characters!

Re: Gut Maze

I so wish this were in color, as a stand alone illustration this raaawwwks! Dayum sister you can throw down with the character. +1, and if it doesn't make it here, you should put some fly color on it and sub it to another venue. I think Tee Fury would like this one. :D

Re: Problem Solved

Ooh my goodness it is soooo awesome and cuuuute. I would buy this instantly. You captured the characters really well here!

If I may suggest a way to fix it to adhere closer to the rules: If you can, join some of lines and make the wall to the left look more like a labyrinth. Wouldn't take much at all, and you can be subtle about it. As it is now though I'm afraid it's going to get the boot for not containing an actual maze or labyrinth.

Re: Mission: Find your food - avoid your foe!

So cute, Jasneko! I like that you went with the light blue shirt too :D.

Really cool artwork Meg, love it!

Re: Help Office Worker Find Stapler V2

Hey, well done on finding success with the resub. It's just as effective this way, imo. :^)

Re: Gut Maze

Maybe the gore is a bit too much for some, because this is a much cooler design than is reflected in the number of votes. Skill. ^__^

I always follow the left-hand wall in games, and that served me very nicely in this maze too. Heheh!

megsck wrote:i dont believe it has to be an exact match of the shirt comp. i think they mean that it has to have the same design and same color background, that is all. i think what they have is fine.

I thought what I had was fine as well.....but no - rejected yet again. A new version is up however. Hopefully it will stay.

Re: minotaur in trouble

I am glad I click on your detail. As soon as the comp came up I laughed out loud, seriously. It doesn't happen often. Thank you this design is hilarious. I wish it was getting more votes.

Re: The Power of Cheese

killer character design! Get dat minotard micese!!!

Re: Rocks Friends Ver. 2

Apparently, placing the words "click" and "vote" in the thumbnail is okay as long as you have the shirt image underneath be the same. I submitted a new version that will hopefully remain in the derby. Here.

Re: Backseat Maze Masters

the coloring and shirt color choices work for me. It really pops. I dig the design and don't want to change a thing. I always dig your work chump.
