Shirt.Woot

I'm gonna be honest. I love the idea of sequel shirts / recurring characters. I'd be happy to see This little guy at least a few more times. He's cute, he's funny, the *concept* is funny (on both shirts)... If I like certain characters or the way a certain artist draws/designs, I will buy *those* shirts. But I can't see purchasing shirts I don't love in order to justify buying the ones that I DO love. No sense in buying a shirt I'll avoid wearing because I always want to wear my other ones.

But I do wish the snowman was a little more animated and a little less realistic.

Huh. I feel the exact opposite. I kind of like that it's more of an "actual" snowman, in that it is visibly stuck in one position, as if it were made, as opposed to a "living" snowman.

And too funny that some of you have pairs that look like my models! The shelter said they were from the same litter, but they look so different (even different length fur! ) I've wondered about that... are yours sibling pairs?

I'm sure they were in the same litter- but they might not have the same father. They might be half-siblings that were born at the same time.

I love the black and white aspect of this shirt!

very expressive ninjas; I like

Re: thin ice

clever, but chilling

Re: sculpting a snowman

didn't catch the original, but like this scene.

Re: Snow Critters

fun...starting to look at dragon art for the upcoming year as well, This is a good start ; )

Re: Snowstar

Re: WARMED HEART IN A COLD WINTER V3

very cool

Re: Unstealthiest Ninja II

Man I love the Unstealthiest Ninja, the original was my first woot shirt! Excellent part 2!

Ditto - I've put the link to this shirt up on all my various social media. It's climbed quite a bit, but it needs to go further to be top of the list by Friday.

I'm hopeful, but realistic here. Please, if it doesn't get Wooted and you choose to get this printed elsewhere, can you let us know?

Ah shirt.woot. A place where artists can express their talent and love for placing thoughts into a picture that people can enjoy. People make the decisions here, which really is great because deserving designs people actually want get printed. And, people can submit their own designs if they'd like, or just think there aren't any shirts that are up to their standards. Users can comment on designs, vote for designs, and talk to others about designs.

You can even start troll wars if you'd like, as evidenced by, well, all these commentors above me who have contributed nothing useful for the other users of the site, who insist on trashing certain designs, and find joy in waiting to see the radical outcry of the other users for their own personal enjoyment.

This design wins. If it were just trying to cash in, there'd be more designs of it all the time and the artist would probably not be submitting it for voting, but instead have their own shirt line and website, with dozens of the same idea slightly altered for sale on there, not woot. If it were considered pop culture, it would have been rejected long ago. You don't work for woot, and only their oppinion matters on this subject. If the idea wasn't original and lacked any good qualities for a shirt design, there wouldn't be this much support for a print, the second time around, and the original would have been reckoned after a short few weeks.

Good luck, there's tough competition out there, don't worry about the critics and control what you can control. That being said, you've got my vote.

Thanks so much! I'm still holding out hope, I'd love for this to print somehow, someway.

Re: Who's ready for a snowball fight?

Psh, rules are obviously for other people. I bet you park in the fire lane too.

Re: Unstealthiest Ninja II

Yay DoOomcat! I'm so glad to see this in the fog. I really hope this wins, you SERIOUSLY deserve more prints. Your characters have some of the best expressions and personalities I've ever seen on woot (or anywhere else for that matter).

Re: Unstealthiest Ninja II

I love it. I got the original as well... Will definitely buy.

veila22 wrote:Resub is up!!!

Voted for the resub! I love music themed shirts but errors in notes always bug me. Usually it's because the designer didn't really know music to begin with. Not saying that is the case here - I think this is an excellent shirt but would absolutely want it with correct notation.

Re: Vivaldi Winter 2.0

I actually voted for a Ramyb shirt. Wonders never cease.

You should do more of this type of shirt and less generic ones.

Re: Winter Playtime

What I don't get, is that this is more or less the same design in the same style as Ramyb's latest penguin shirt, yet he's in the fog and you are in like 20th place.

If anything this one is better detailed and alot less deformed. What gives, cute voters?

Name recognition and fanbase?

awww thank you! Your penguins are great, by the way. I giggled at them :P

This deserves an HM! Please!?

very nice shirt...hidden by its own thumbnail!

Re: Unstealthiest Ninja II

I bought the first one for my 6 year old but it was a little snug so his younger brother took it. My oldest was NOT happy!!! So I've had to promise that if this shirt wins I will buy each of them one in a big enough size! And one for me, of course!

Re: Take No Prisoners
