The fire guy reminds me a lot of cumsprite.

What really pulls the shirt down in my opinion is the faux sloppy shininess that can only be a mildly subtle attempt to trick ramy voters into clicking. Really not your best work by any stretch.

Must have phoned this one in......

Here's a cool little art lesson, plastic and polished metal reflect when non diffused light shine on them Both the phone and lighter are made out of these materials hence shine. I like giving my pieces dimension, and adding simple high lights and low lights enables this. These practices were being used in cartooning long before Ramy or I came onto the scene and I suspect will continue on past us. I don't however put shiny "spots" on furry or non shiny animals or surfaces like some other artists though.

On the idea, I appreciate your critique, it's valid. The joke has been around since cell phones started to enter into the mainstream and have glowy screens. However after looking for similar use through many sites I wasn't able to find anything similar to this so I thought it fair game as far as being unique was concerned. Sorry you don't like it, maybe next time though

Thanks to everyone else who likes this though. I appreciate it

right, because there's so many tranny's running around out there with a dragon and 6-pack abs... * eye roll *

Naw, Android has surpassed iPhone. And Blackberry is more prevalent than both.

Now in blue! Thanks to Midgerock and Freezo1994 for suggesting the color change.

Re: A Brif History of the Aha Moment Ver 2

Let me clarify, the iphones are the highest as far as single type of phone. There are more android os phones but not of a single type and not all android phones are on the same level or running the same os. RIM is starting to die because they sat on their laurels too long they just recently got phones that could actually surf the web using html browsers. Apple has the most visual prescence and will remain around for a while especially because of the new verizon deal. But like I said I like my Droid X

You people with your fancy phones. Some of us are still on Sprint, with our lowly Palm Centros. MLEEHHHH :P (don't even get a Windows 7 phone over there, daaaaang)

Unfortunate Implications
( I hope)
I have family in NYC and and I just look at this and go nope- wouldn't be able to wear this arround them

Re: Scoville Scale

If this shirt prints, I'm in for three. Love it.

Re: Camping Out Under the Bubbles

Thanks a lot; always appreciate the support!

Thanks for all your comments!

Great holy mother of us all! What forsaken armpit backcountry corner of the world do you live in?!! that people would blaspheme to such an extreme as to desecrate the sanctity of ceviche with katsup!!!!!! No, no, I'll be all right....just need to lie down for a bit.... Got myself a little worked up.

blanked wrote:Did you mean for this to be on the brown shirt? Cause tht is one huge block of color on cream if not.

Too much? Should the shirt just be brown? I wasn't really sure what the rest of the shirt color should be . The brown was placed to let me know how much space the design was allowed.

Hahaha. That's a quote from Anthony Bourdain. Apparently it's a common practice in Ecuador. Sounds disgusting.

Thanks! I think it came out real nice with the shadows.

Re: The God of Fire

Such an evil shirt, what is wrong with you

Re: Bebe Burp

Now, everything about this is awesome except the bird with his tail on fire. Why why why??? Fine, torch some squirrels and butterflies, but the poor bird? I like birds!!

Seriously, this is amazing- the shading is spot on, and I love the trees. GMV!

Re: Meatyor

Poor meatwad!

Re: Scoville Scale

Awesome. I teach this in my Gen Bio class. And for those of you that want a free lesson- the chemical in hot peppers (capsaicin) doesn't stimulate taste buds, they stimulate pain receptors...

Re: Face in the Flames

Rest assured there are no gradients on this, it's all halftones, 5 colors on black. Probably too late to mater, but I wanted to share this.

Much nicer on blue.

If you're wondering about the minute detail of submitting ask someone who has done it

As for the block of color... many feel that is makes a design something between blocky and unwearable.

hunterm94 wrote:I don't understand why parts of the left fox are green and other parts look like a normal fox. Can someone explain it to me?

If you read the artist's post you will see the fox are based on a mythical creature that can control fire. So they are pulling the green fire from their fur, concentrating it enough that you can see fire at their paws.

Re: Heart Burn v.2

It is a bit girlie for my tastes, but I like the largeness of the first better, something about the full shirt design was appealing, tho normally I go for side placements. I think the blue went better too, but that may just be cause I know what the color is in real life.

Re: The Fire Burns Within

really reminds me of the window in The Crow

Re: All Out of Fire

From the Derby Prompt:

"Give us your best fire depictions, fire aftermath, fire-inspired designs. Go!"

I decided to go with the aftermath of fire angle. What's Hell like once the fire is gone? Probably pretty darn cold.

It's been ages since I did a shirt design without using Inkscape, so I thought I would try to do this derby all by hand. It's a bit of a different work flow than I'm used to, but I'm pretty happy with the results.

Comments and suggestions are always appreciated!

Thanks!

Re: Face in the Flames

The face reminds me of the Think from the Fantasic 4 and Hellboy. Nice use of texture on the stone.

I love the design, not really seeing it in the 'fire' category completely though so it won't get my vote for this one. For a more fishy derby, I'd be all for it :p

Re: Baby Dragons Equal Flame Throwers

Haha, love it!

Re: literal fireman

Excellent use of texture! Stylistically, this reminds me of the Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar. I like how you used the trailing flames to add to the sense of motion.

GMV +1

Re: Flame Keeper

Your use of shape and color are excellent, but placement just feels odd to me.

Welcome to the shirt.woot derby. Looking forward to seeing your future entries.

Good Luck!

P.S.: You may want to check out the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP for short). It's an open source photoshop clone. It has a very versatile halftoning system. http://www.gimp.org

Re: Fox Maiden

Would be in for one if i had a girlfriend to give it to. Absolutely beautiful design. I'll give ya my vote.

Re: Marshmellow

Cute overload, love the design though I don't think I'd buy it, its adorable! (If I had kids i'd grab it for sure)

I think it's perfect. So adorable!
