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: 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.

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

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!

officeink wrote:Thanks for the vote,I appreciate it! I'm glad you like the design. The design was a little late getting submitted but I've got a lot of hours and work in creating the design. 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

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.

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)

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.

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?
