Giraffes are very oddly shaped. The more you look at them, the weirder they are.

Re: Impressing the Ladies

hahahaha! LOL! I really enjoy this! Congrats!

JadenKale wrote:Perhaps it's not the same idea, but if you look at the sunsets on the top, it's the same shape. He basically tossed a gradient on the new one and trimmed back the rays from the first piece. It's pretty much the same as the one from the summer. It's a sunset silhouette reflecting over water. It's not EXACT, but he's reusing the idea he did only a few months earlier and printed with last time.

I'm going to have to side with those who are saying they aren't the same design. Ramyb tends to reuse general ideas over and over and over again. So yes, both designs are spherical and located on the chest of the shirt. But that doesn't mean that he just rehashed the Aztec design and slapped on a new name. Ramyb just uses the same few formats because he isn't really that creative.

There are plenty of legitimate faults to many of his designs, people can't go out of their way to make up something to complain about. Because when that happens, then all the blind Ramyb supporters can point at all the complaints, even valid ones, and say that we're just trying to bash on Ramyb.

Re: Main Attraction

Very cool - I just wish he didn't look like he had cataracts in the preview - hopefully less creepy in print?

Re: Sunset Serenade

This is awesome, Spiritgreen, I especially love the feeling of depth you created. +1

Re: Silly Lion Tribal Mask

this makes for a really cool shirt. I would totally wear this! +1

Re: Whack-A-Meerkat

awesome! +1

Re: Serengeti

Well,you would get thrown out for a violation of theme,but this image would work alot better without anything directly representational (i.e loose the giraffe,tree and stuff under the tree)

Re: Double Bubble

One "happy hippo"

Re: Caged

A delightfully quirky concept and well-made design. Always such a lovely sight here at woot!

Re: Lapwing sunset

You certainly brought a contender. Beautiful.

Re: Ambush

Love your design. I hope that you print.

Re: Threads

This is awesome - I hope you follow blanked's advice and resub with a corrected thumbnail because it will definitely gmv!

Yeah, I hear they can actually be pretty angry buggers. This one is soooo cute though! GMV

Elvis's favorite.

No, seriously. How do you think he ended up "Fat Elvis"?

Re: Dark Continent

I like the shirt, but is the name racist?

Re: The Collector

vervet monkeys really are sneaky little thieves!

Re: A Walk In The Park

Thanks for the kind words Spiritgreen, walmazan, uniique and Andy47240. It's always great to have compliments from fellow artists when trying to gauge whether a design will strike a chord with the Woot audience.
The idea was spontaneous, but putting it together ended up being more involved than anticipated.

Re: Silly Lion Tribal Mask

This is fantastic - and I love your backstory, midgerock!

Re: Impressing the Ladies

This is SO cool! I saw some of the comments on this in the pre-derby thread - your changes are subtle, but added up to a strong improvement, I think!

reganrabbit wrote:I love this, reminds me Charlie Harper's stuff. GMV!

You're right - I don't think I would have been able to put my finger on it, but it is very Charley Harper-esque! Cool design; GMV.

dooomcat wrote:Well... considering the size relations are off and male lions don't generally do any hunting it's not meant to be 100% accurate. I did find a picture of a meerkat eating an elephant shrew while I was researching this so I do believe it happens.

I figured the meerkat was just planning to push the little guy out of the way and steal his (bug) lunch! ;)

I'm not surprised - the detail on this is AMAZING!

Re: Main Attraction

Wow... this is so striking! Like other commenters, I probably would have preferred it on a different color, but still, it's really cool.

Re: I Got You!

Hahaha... adorable!

Aaaand zebra bucking in 3, 2, 1...

Re: Whack-A-Meerkat

Aaaawww... that poor li'l meerkat is so cute and oblivious!

BootsBoots wrote:That's Teddy on the wall.

I THOUGHT that looked like TR, but I didn't realize the allusion in the shirt title until after reading this! Nice one!

Re: The Hunt

Wow. Just... wow.

Hahahaha. This looks like a comic strip. +1

Well executed. +1

This is wild, I dig it! +1

Totally bizarre and hilarious. +1

kaelynangelfoot wrote:It reminds me of the Marc Ecko logo

That definitely had a play in the design structure,

Re: A Walk In The Park

Totally totally randomly awesome. Randomness by itself is meaningless, but combine it with a rhino and hippo and it moves into the realm of incredible incredibleness. Next time I find myself standing on the back of any animal as I ride out of the sunset I will salute you.

Re: Unrequited

nice!
