As my marine science friend informed me a while back, Kermit's eyes were actually modeled after cuttlefish eyes.

Also, I would love to see this print, this would be awesome for the friend I mentioned. She loves cuttlefish.

Re: Fish Tacos

I WOULD LOVE THIS SHIRT!!! Wish I could upvote it 10 times! AND I'd buy 3. I never buy 3.

Re: GOLDFISH

Since I have an aquarium full of fish and LOVE the color yellow, I will buy more than one when this prints!!

Re: Aboriginal Orca

This gets my first shirt vote.

Aw, thanks

Re: Uh-Oh

Wish this had a couple hundred more votes

Re: Underwater Galaxy

the fact that this has fallen so far out of the fog, and probably won't print, is just another painful reminder of why I don't come here much anymore

I think Woot should reconsider this one. It was very high up in the votes when I first saw it too. And I'd have bought this one (for my wife).

What a surprise, the best and most creative shirt in the derby gets voted out of the fog...probably replaced by some shirt that is so cutesie and cartoonie that a 6 year old would feel immature wearing it. Excellent design Omar, well done.

Thanks so much! I appreciate your vote! I'm glad the design is doing well. I'm hopeful that it will keep progressing in the derby ranks!

Re: Shipwreck

Solid +1

love the goldfish and bubbles, very strong design. I could do without all the black in the background tho. still voted for it!!

Re: Light of my heart

This is literally my favorite one. If it doesn't win... well, I'll just cry, or something. <3

Re: Cuddlefish

There is nothing I don't love about this design.

Re: Cuddlefish

Oh My Gookie!... I love this and it needs me. :-)

Re: Shipwreck

Awesome job. Love the design and the color scheme captures the mood perfectly. :-)

Re: Electric Jellyfish

Well , I know now , would be great if woot could do a glow ink derby theme.

Re: aqualuminescence

Love love love it! I hope they print it because I'm buying it if they do. :-)

The thumbnail may be hurting the votes on this one. I almost didn't click, but I'm in love with this shirt and want it to print so bad!! I just wish the thumbnail could show more of the overall beauty of the lines and colors on the white shirt.

Again awesome job!! +1

Re: Aboriginal Orca

Fantastic design!

Re: Underwater Sword 2.0

I love it

I think it's a bit too "Field & Stream" for the Woot populace.

eta: Also, "photo manipulation" art is not received very well here.

Couldn't agree more...so often it seems people take all of ten minutes to execute a thought that would otherwise be fabulous, which then is frustrating when someone who had the same thought takes longer and doesn't get the vote because it seems as if they're being a copy cat. I've never bothered to submit a design because I know I'm not up to snuff to compete with this level of quality (just not an illustrator). Hey if it doesn't make it to the top (there's still time!), maybe we can keep our fingers crossed for an editor's choice!

I know that I appreciate a shirt design that has detail to it and work put into the design...so I wouldn't want to offer up anything less to the derby voters. So that's why it's a little late on the entry but it's a design I feel I can be proud of and as an artist that's important to me that I can feel good about what I design for the public. I hold out hope that the fog is thinning and the design is climbing!!!

Re: From Hell's Heart

Yeah, that eye does look just a little too big. Thinking about it, if it was the size of the current pupil, that would feel better.

Aww, the Captain doesn't have a captain's hat?

About the white - yeah, it would lighten up the feel of the comp. On the other hand, if there was a way to make the whale lighter, (after all he was a white whale, wasn't he? or am I mixing things up) it would give a real nice up-front impression of the quote. Maybe use a very dark gray for the whale with light gray highlights? So the overall impression of the whale is still dark in comparison to itself, but it has more of the feel of being a light-colored whale underneath? Did that even make sense? I'm not saying you need to change it for the derby, just some stuff to think about, maybe play around with on your own

vademecum wrote:An aqua shirt, or any shade of blue, would detract from the octobrawl. Besides, red is violent

Good point. What about orange octopi on a light blue shirt? That would be a good combo too!

Re: Octoballoon

It seriously took me a minute to realize the kid was still underwater... for some reason I thought the fishes were clouds and didn't notice the bubbles right away, so I was sooo confused XD

What about adding a snorkel mask or diving mask to the boy?

By the way, BEAUTIFUL color work on that octopus, I love the smoothness, and your color placement does a great job evoking the feel of a hot air balloon too.

Re: Underwater Forest

Breathtaking. I am excited to wear this.

expo01 wrote:Well , I know now , would be great if woot could do a glow ink derby theme.

The only glow ink derby that I've seen was a halloween one.

HOWEVER, there have been glow-in-the-dark daily shirts, so I would totally suggest you submit this as a daily shirt! (https://shirt.woot.com/artists/default.aspx) It's excellent, the design on that jellyfish is top notch. And with a glow-in the dark, I would definitely buy it.

Re: Pizza Kraken!

Oooo, great design and colors! It's a little too large on the shirt for my tastes, but other than that, very appealing! (as long as I don't have to imagine eating squid on pizza)

CUTEST idea ever!!!! I LOVE cuttlefish!!!

Re: Underwater Forest

Ooooooh..... wow.

That is stunning.

agreed. that's what struck me, also.

really, really gorgeous.

This is true...And if it doesn't make it to the top or as you said get an editor's choice, after the allotted time has past I can always sell it in another venue. I've had people asking where to purchase T-shirts of this design all day. I remain hopeful but if it doesn't get chosen here it can be sold elsewhere later.

Thanks for the vote! The support is appreciated! Glad you like the design.

Re: Airport Pickup

Land Shark says, "Candy Gram" (cirrca 1975)

Re: Just keep smiling!

If it was a cat underwater with a SCUBA tank and mask, with a Cheshire cat grin, ready to go after the fish, I think it would definitely meet the theme requirements. What do you think?

I really hope you get to the top because I want this shirt. The shadings are fantastic and the level of detail is incredible. Good luck.

Re: Slightly Salty

I love this one, definitely the most creative!
