Shirt.Woot

I don't think rabbits perspire. They might have sweat glands in their lips, so I hear.

I see it now. Thanks!

It's a Doctor Who reference, anyone who would want this shirt probably recognizes it. The doctor travels through time and space in his TARDIS, which appears as a blue police box, that's why there is a constable in there answering the phone. He went to the wrong police box thinking it was his TARDIS.

Re: Fur Kills

Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments and support. It really means a lot to me. You all have a great taste for art ;)

Re: Paper Hugs Rock

haha! this is so good!

Re: Um, can we sit elsewhere?

Awww. I love how uncomfortable the white kitty looks.

llamassassin wrote:All Navi really wanted was someone who would listen....

Yes. Constantly, without concern of poor Link wanting to look at or do something else, she would shout out "Hey!", "Look Here", "Link"

Master Chief did good.

Re: Do You Feel Better?

Not sure how they managed to do that, but that would be EXTREMELY awkward.

Ok! Thank you.

Well, the way they are positioned is pretty awkward...You try it. :P

I like how embarrassed the inky squid looks. Poor fellow...

Re: Wrong box, doc

Just so you know, as a Doctor Who fan I got the joke right away. GMV.

Same. Immediately understood. Hope to be able to get this for my girlfriend. GMV

Re: It's not what it looks like

I assumed what made this awkward was that the hotdog didn't commit the murder, but has the "blood" all over him for some other reason...

Personally, I'm kind of a fan of genericsmith's take on it too. Xp

GMV although I'm curious how the background would look on the shirt (I wish it faded out a bit more gradually).

Re: BIRTHDAY WISH

Well done; I really like the colors you used. GMV

Thanks man. I couldn't really think of anything to do for this theme. Luckily I had a late idea, although it would have helped if I would have had it sooner.

Potty humor is 99.99% auto reject. Only time I've seen a tad bit of leeway was during the doggie theme.

I agree with you there...if there's a race, why are they both wearing medals? Ah, heck, it's not worth trying to critique...

Because one is a gold medal, and the other is a silver medal for first and second place respectively.

I usually like ramyb designs, and although this one is cute, I was extremely deterred by the fact that when I first saw it, I immediately thought of his argyle hipster turtle.

Way too similar for my tastes.

How about you shut it, make a better design and push Ram out? Good god, every week I look at the field in these derbies and guess what; Ram's designs are clean, humorous if not over played, and what we expect from him. I don't know if there is a more beat on designer on this site.

I don't see it as hate of ramyb (in most cases), but more as artist frustration. Every week there are many designs exhibiting far more skilled draftsmanship, far better color sense, far more thought, wit, and heart, and even, at times, more cuteness (ex. walmazan, of whom I'm an unabashed fan). Perhaps ramyb's designs simply meet a happy, comfortable median between those variables, but just because his designs are more popular, that does not make them "better" than true excellence in the derby. That would be like saying McDonald's makes better food than a 5-star restaurant, or that Ke$ha is a better singer than... well, anybody, I guess. I can't speak for all the other voters/artists on this site, but my point is that ramyb should continue to design and submit whatever he likes, and I hope he continues to do so. I just wish that we as a community strove to ingest more filet mignons than Big Macs.

Oh fiance? Congratulations!!!

They're party animals. Especially the chicken.

Dancing outside your shell...
a variation of think outside the box.
I like it!

Sporks are just awkward anyway. ;)

Re: Paper Trail

i thought that it said in the rules that if you are using illustrator shirt.woot would prepare the halftones from gradients? no?

Re: I'm here to rescue... uh...

I've always preferred the dragon to the knight. After all, who has all the gold? Plus can you imagine what a knight smells like after wearing that tin can all day? Like Darth Vader's face, that's what!

Beautiful hamburger design in background, yes!

missmelis wrote:LOVE the drawing style on this.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it!

Trying my hand at a bit of cuteness; a variation on the bull in the china shop. I'm quite pleased with the Highland bull - he looks like he'd rather be out somewhere knocking back a troughful of whisky than attempting dainty chat with that cow with the flirtatious eyes. The top-heavy inverted triangle composition and the contrasts between the big and small should convey awkwardness. And there's some experimental half-toning in there - which is an awkwardness for me!

Re: Alaca-OOPS!

Surprised this doesn't have more votes. You got one from me.

MMMMMMMM...I do love me some filet mignon.

Re: Bee slap

It is indeed an awkward moment, but I think it would be much better without the red square in the background.

Re: tweet tweet TWOOT

Very nice use of color. I think the elements of the design are a little too large for the shirt. The branches could be smaller, and perhaps more intricate as they reach across the shirt. You could add leaves to the design, while still staying true to the graphical style. Also, I only see two colors being used. You could make the musical notes WHITE to draw attention to the main focus of the design.

But still, a very good concept.

Re: The Cave

The theme is "awkward moments" —I'm not sensing anything awkward about this design.
