Re: Hen-na

This is beautiful. I hope I get to buy one of these.

Can I get the Indian Indian shirt. I want one I have a couple friends that if they have a baby this will be the end result. I simply want to support their union while at the same time make fun of them.

Re: Charming!

I really enjoy your style and sense of humor. +1 for this shirt and hopefully I'll be wearing it soon.

Re: Hen-na

Very nice. I have a feeling this one will have legs. +1

Re: Gandhi's hope

What?!
It isn't a photo, its been hand drawn based on a charcoal drawing I made 5 years ago. At least let me send you the print file so you can see.

Also, it's not a celebrity, he has been dead long past any copyright statute of limitation.

Re: Unfair Advantage

The bird on the far right has the best expression. Disbelief and contempt. Well done.

Re: Henna Gold

5 colors half-tone (looks like a gradient) highly detailed henna design on a brown T-Shirt.

Hope you like it. Comments welcome. This is my second submission ever.

Here's zee BIG VERSION.

And this is great - beautiful work, and so quickly! Hands hurt much? Eyes crossed?

Thanks for clearing it up. I did not know that about the plant.!

It would be sweet if I was able to do this overnight, but truth be told, I've been sitting on this illustration a while, and waiting for a good chance to use it. The original head took forever to finish, and then I had to scan an assemble in chunks.

Glad you all like it!

I don't see how this is really relate dto "India." For that matter, it's vaguely racist.

Re: Rub My Belly

Re: The Beautiful Patterns

hoping this captures the beauty of henna as unisexual and intereting as possible. thanks for voting!

As much as I am tired of all of the elephants in the derby, when I get henna done next, I WILL have my step mother use this design template to do my hands (its beautiful!)

Re: Elephants

This is beautiful and so intricate!
I know these concerns have been raised before on designs with far less detail... How well can woot print it without losing the detail and how many washes do you think it will take to destroy the design?

Re: Shiva, Destroyer of Worlds

rejected for 'religious figure'. i had thought that rule was for abusive content with regards to religous figures. seems mega restrictive. like paranoid corporate restrictive.

Re: Henna

I knew I wanted this the moment I saw it in the thread last night. So gorgeous. GMV for sure, I can't wait to wear it.

Re: Textiling

Nice one, Jas!!

Re: I Hate Mehndi

But he does love alternating layers of pasta, ricotta cheese, meat, and more cheese.

Hmm, you're right....V2 shortly!

But you still didn't address points "A" and "C."

Re: Elephants

Favorite elephant

Re: Bengal Tiger

You did a great job on this. GMV

Re: Sacred Om v2

Lets meditate... "Ommmmm!"

Not as cool and meaningful as the original, but I still like it a lot. The circle design kind of looks better on the T-shirt, but I would still prefer the Om symbol... Oh well. Enjoy!

Re: Windows

Friggen clouds. Clouds are friggen...gah. Wicked. O_O They look so life-like!

Oh, and the silhouettes are cool too...I guess... :D

Perhaps, but they were pretty clear about the rules at the outset. You probably went a little beyond a generic figure with the inclusion of the necklace of heads--that's the thing that makes one certain it's Kali. If you redid it without the skulls, it might pass muster (disclaimer: I don't work for woot, so of course that's no guarantee).

Re: Lotus Dream

I love it! There is a lot of thought in such a simple design. Very appealing.

i don't think they were that clear. just says "religion, and just playing nice in general". i don't feel this piece is mean by any means. shiva, destroyer of worlds. that's what she does. plus there's at least one other sub that's clearly that same god that hasn't been rejected. anyway. just feeling a touch hot after working all day yesterday and all this morning just to get smacked with a rejection.

Re: Henna Peacock

AWESOME design!!!! I seriously adore this shirt and would love to have one to wear.
Please vote for this so that woot will make it!

Alright, the guy isn't good looking, it's not my fault :p . He is pretty awesome though.

Re: Fractal Mehndi (resub)

Resub w/ larger placement, if this gets a big positive response I'll delete the other...but can't quite force myself to delete my first design that's made it to the fog!

Re: Peacock Henna - Version 2

Duel entry, drawing by greystone9, Illustrator work by me.

Re: Elephants

Simply wonderful.

amreli wrote:Hmm, you're right....V2 shortly!

Ok, second version w/ bigger placement now up...if it gets a good response, I'll pull this one down.

Re: Peacock Henna - Version 2

So pretty! I love the colors!

This is gorgeous! GMV

Re: Unfair Advantage

The expressions are great! I definitely love the martini, too.

They announced the rule in the pre-thread (it wasn't on the rule list where it should have been). I don't like when they do that since it pretty mean to do to us artists. Sorry for you lost time, and I hope you can salvage this design or use it somewhere else since it looks great.
