Re: 1968: Y So Serious? (Resub)

1968: Batman (the TV series) ends its 3-year run, before decades of syndication.

Srsly.

(Resubbed because I flubbed the Design Detail file.)

Re: 1982

Really nice! +1

Re: 1990 Resub

the date looks a lot better like this. it was a good suggestion (can't remember who said it), and you did a good job following it. gmv.

Re: 1989: Insanity

Reworked to make the shapes more ambiguous and changed the silhouette to avoid a potential copyright issue.

Been dealing with a loss this week and let some of my angst out in this design- hope you guys enjoy.

Re: 1968: Food Was Cheap

Even though I'm not a fan of Big Macs, I like the shirt. I'd like it better if it more accurately represented a Big Mac; i.e. the bun in the middle of the mess.



I get it how it wouldn't flow with a jingle, but the representation bothers me :\

Re: 1985 - The Sparrow Escapes

ooop- this design is getting printed over on riptapparel Feburary 29, so has to come down from the derby. I'm sorry about that!

This was taken into consideration. I decided on the birth of the series over the singular game.

Bonus points if you know what the original 1986 rupee colors and denominations were and when cuccos made their first appearance.

@anemality, calebmitchell, nezzer: Thanks! Been trying to improve with halftones since they posted the tutorial in the halftone derby. =)

Re: 1974: It's Alive!

Fantastic! +1

Re: 1990 Resub

Love it!

Re: 1973

Maybe I'm slow...is this the NBC Peacock, or Dark Side of the Moon?
I like it either way...

Dark Side of the Moon came out in 73, and that bird totally dug it from track one.
I think the NBC Peacock goes back much earlier, from when NBC stood for National Peacock Hatchery.

I simply cannot own too many slogan shirts. Love it!!!

Re: 1980

Testing, testing, is this forum working? Hello.....?

So what is the shirt design now? Is it still Batman or just, er, blobs with a bat in the background?

It's ambiguously... unidentifiable now, unfortunately.

Re: 1974: Lucy Discovered

Delightful +1

Re: 1982

1982 - The year Speilberg directed and produced two of the biggest movies of the year!

Re: 1989: Insanity

Ok, a little less ambiguity now :P Trying to find a delicate balance. I hope that woot won't find this to be an issue anymore, he doesn't even have bat ears anymore and the silhouette is broken up- I think this way the shapes are implied enough that they are understandable without stepping over any copyright lines. I don't think the joker's face was an issue in the first place either. Anyway, sorry to keep reposting, hope you guys like it.

Re: 1982

Double Freaky!

Re: 1980

Nice work!!!

Re: 1985 - Snack Break

I love this. I remember when mario came out and this is a great example. love the green background, too. I want one!

Re: 1974: It's Alive!

Great one W.A...."Abby"

Re: 1982: First Contact

this really made me smile. great scene, especially like the famous finger.

Oh gosh. I love this. I didn't even notice it at first, but now...holy. Awesome.

So it's an implied Batman that's not really Batman? Why not just come up with a new idea or take a week off instead of almost-but-not-really break copyright? Maybe this 3rd time'll be a charm.

Re: 1959 The Last Two (resub)

this is history at a glance. love the simplicity and the colors are fantastic. bright colors are so much better than muddy, gloomy colors to me.

Re: 1987

The infamous Bob-Omb made his gaming debut in 1987's Super Mario Bros 2

Re: 1967 - Summer of Love

flower power! right on, baby!

Re: 1973 The Future is Now

Supercool, and totally retro. I like the changes to the planet. I'd wear this!

Well, Thechnically they debut in 1987's Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic... which was converted in Super Mario Bros 2 in 1988... still the origin is 1987.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

Re: 1971-Floppy Diskette

My dad had a TRS-80 with an 8" drive when I was growing up. Ah memories.

Re: 1967 - Summer of Love

I always know there will be a bazillion designs better than my little attempts, but it's fun, so here I go again!

Re: 1982

True story... I was initially afraid to go see ET because I thought it was a scary movie about an alien invasion. Then again, I was 12.

Me too!!! My teens love it! I hope you win!

Cool idea, but why are the letters cut off? That's not how ASCII art is supposed to work.

Either way I still love this design and will absolutely be buying it if it wins

I always thought he was a vulture or turkey.

Or the 'proper' way to kill a Pols Voice. ;3 Hint: It's not arrows.

Re: 1984

I'm going to vote because it really made me laugh!

Re: 1989: Insanity

It's still just Batman. No comment. No transformation. No satire. Most importantly, no fair use. You can't just draw someone else's IP and sell it because you want to. Even woot knows that.
