I love it! My first wish is Zoltar for the win!

This is fantastic!

I'm sure it's too late to get this in the fog, but I hope the powers that be will reward it with an Honorable Mention.

Re: 1989: RIP Salvador Dali

Just got back from the Dali museum over in St. Petersburg, FL. Going to have to wear this shirt when I got back next month.

Other designs rejected this derby with Pacman and Star Wars references.

• 1983
  
• 1977 - Dark Side
  
• Munching Ghosts Since 1980
  
• 1980 - Pacman
  

We all hate to see our favorite designs get rejected because of little issues.

Thanks for explaining. Sadface.

I would think a real <2 month old would probably come up with something better.

Re: 1981

Any specific way to vote? Or do you just click on the pic?

A bit more blurred in the edges, and maybe a more round shape, and I'd consider buying it.

Yes I agree, I saw that when I was doing the shirt placement but I wasn't sure how I could fade it out without losing detail. Hmmm

I was wondering this too haha, I remember before seeing this very intricate design I think it was a white fairy or something, but from last year some time... I had originally erased in a bunch of places to create a really cool scratched effect but I looked at the design and was like I don't think this is going to work since it was so intricate and difficult so I changed it. It's rather hard to do a galaxy it seems! But I suppose of woot can't run it it will get rejected but it didn't yet so I don't know. We'll see thank you for your input! Does anyone out there have the minimum pixel amount?

You can only vote if you have ever bought something from any of the Woot sites. Sorry! but they are in the middle of a big sell off.

Re: Knighteen82

You know Woot doesn't offer orange anymore?

Yeah. Bummer.

I think Woot recommends 30 lines per inch max... but since I'm probably wrong, check these guides they have in artists' resources :D

Thank you!!!

Thanks for the advise!!! I got so caught up in trying to figure out the halftones that I lost sight of a lot of design elements >_<
I'll have to make sure I pay attention to things like this next time, though.

Re: 2001 Identical Twins

I was into the minimalism.

PITCH!

The design itself could stand to be a little smaller on the shirt, but I'm in.

Please note the similarity to the roof of....

Re: 1966 Beetle Revolver

I think I forgot to mention orange. So the print colors are magenta, orange, day glo green, black and light blue

As another '87 baby, and a cosmology nerd, this is pretty awesome. Well done!

Just entered the Derby with my first Woot ever.
Shirt.Woot is full of inspiring design. I'm addicted!

Re: Bicentennial Baby! 1976

I wasn't born in 1976 but sounds like a great party! And it was a good year for me, too!

haha your parents trapped you in a strange dark void full of snakes and weird floor physics?

edit: er that was in response to something on my entry...

Re: 1969 One small step for man

Nice!!

My mom found out she was pregnant with me the day Elvis died.
True story.

Re: 1966 Beetle Revolver

How are your gradients achieved, i.e. Did you use halftones?

Thank you Sombrillo!

Hey this is my first entry. I did not us halftones. Am I in trouble? I can easily convert to halftones if needed.

The worst thing that will happen is that it might get rejected. Unfortunately, the derby closed at noon, so it's too late to resubmit it.

Make mine Tacos Al Pastor and a large horchata.

Re: 1986: An ASCII Odyessy

This is, by far, the best design in the contest (imho). So being in 10th place is sucking. How do I get one of these tshirts if it doesn't win?

j5 wrote:Make mine Tacos Al Pastor and a large horchata.

I don't think I've ever seen a truck that makes Al Pastor on a vertical spit. No spit, no Al Pastor. Damn, now I want some proper Al Pastor.

Re: 1960

Almost a week and nobody made a Yakov Smirnoff joke. So here I go.

In Soviet Russia, shirt wears you!

That's all I've got. (I never said it would be good!)

oops. well it was a close call between orange and red.

so where you see orange, see red instead.

i'll have to update the old templates i'm working off of too. thanks!

yeah, I've usually gotten it from the big aluminum tray full of al pastor and pineapple bits. I like to think it had been on a spit at some point in its life.

Damn, now I want some rabanos and lime.

Thanks! There's always a chance it could receive an Honorable Mention, and make it to the next Derby of HM's. If not, I may try to submit it at another site.
