Re: They're playing a board game

The turtle is missing a leg, I can't see it, but I know it's missing a leg!

Re: They're playing a board game

Think what you will, but this is an awesome parody and is on topic for the derby. It's well executed and is dead on with the shading. Most of all, it's true.

Re: They're playing a board game

My brain just Nooooooooing exploded.

Re: Pandemic RISK

I love this concept - it's really awesome. But I'm really amused that the dude in the middle appears to be scratching his forehead and his nether-regions at the same time. Juvenile, I know. But it's amusing.

Re: They're playing a board game

I also think it would be better without the words, but still it's very good.

Re: I Haven't Got a Clue

So this is what's going on inside the prism for Dark Side of the Moon. Love it!

Oh yeah? How many more years will that take you think?

And the cyberbully comparisons from some people are completely out of place. If Ramy feels uncomfortable he can just leave, this isn't high school. He's not some poor innocent victim here, he's worked VERY HARD to earn his reputation and the disdain of his peers.

Re: They're playing a board game

Is this Ramyb submitting under a different account?

Unless there are holes in the brim for the ears. You see that a lot when someone tries to be cute and put a hat on a horse or dog. But I agree, it makes it look "off"

I feel like the shadows are off in some way. It makes the cat's arm's look odd and very two dimensional.

Speaking of two dimensional, the hat on the middle cat is lacking something that would make it feel like it is sitting more on the cat's head. Right now, the top hat looks like one of those old felt board cut outs or almost paper-doll like. It's too distracting to me. It's kind of an amusing idea actually, just the execution is lacking.

It's actually a fair representation of the contrast effect from that type of intense one direction lighting. Look at photos and movies (pretty much any old school cop/spy interrogation scene) that have the same kind of lighting in them and you will see the same kind of effect. I'll agree with you on the hat, though I'm not sure they could have made it more 3 dimensional, and stayed with the overall art style.

I can buy that but I think what's throwing it off is the curved light rim over head and then no curved brim on the hat.

first I want to say I didn't do this design but I want to provide some insight as where this design is coming from. I'm using inductive reasoning here since I don't know who actually designed it or their true motives but I think this is a response to the design that is currently in the fog which is a veiled passive aggressive slam against the artists which took part in this collab. To the outside observer this may look like an infantile design making fun of the design and the artist in the fog but I think its more of a reply, tit for tat. If the fogged artist hadn't posted that design I don't think this design would have been created in response.

Re: Pawns of Camelot

Can't express how much I LOVE this! Hope it prints!

Re: the gathering

Although this is awesome, and a magic player myself, dose this qualify as a board game?

Re: They're playing a board game

Only thing that bugs me is that there are two different shades of green light green and a darker shade and for me it was hard to notice the three different colors, but I love the picture.

mrmeh wrote:Hey? Who's to say I'm not hard working? This took me two hours. (well spent, I might add)
And to clarify my intentions- this has nothing to do with the conversation in the forums or with the content of Ramy's work.
I'm just sort of bugged by people waiting till thursday afternoon to see what is in the fog and then making an amalgam of several designs or copying another.
Same composition, same game but devoid of content. I know- it's nothing that would hold up in court, but it's a little shady all the same.

Just passing by to say that I'm not MrMeh (just in case) hahahah as he/she said that this was a response to Ramy's waiting to see some work in the fog (and linking mine) to make a similar design. Anyway, I have to say that I really laughed out loud when I saw this design. The point of dominating the world and spreading t-shirts everywhere is just great hahahah Thanks for those supporting Pandemic Risk (that didn't take two hours for sure ahahahha)

Re: King Maker

I love this weeks derby and had to create a submission, so I created a shirt for the dreaded King Maker. This is my first derby entry so please let me know what you think.

Re: The Final Stand

Awesome entry. I have been in that situation before and it sucked.

Re: moops

Love it, one of my favorite episodes!

Re: Clueless

I like this one much better without the smiley faces. Clue is my all-time favorite board game! GMV!

Re: Trivial Matters

I love the "smarty pants" glasses on "pi"! I'll be buying this (on AA I hope), I don't care if they're sitting on some attention getting body parts. It's too great not to own.

Re: I Haven't Got a Clue

I need to own this shirt! This is so great, I really hope it prints!

There were rules and an actual game?

Re: They're playing a board game

lol, now that is funny!

Re: A most civilized game of world domination

Why are the cats not fat? That would at least make sense instead of being random animals with random human attributes. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how this design has any significance otherwise.

Re: They're playing a board game

I am sick of woot for this reason. Why can't you make a design you like rather than creating negativity.

Re: They're playing a board game

I must confess I found it amusing...

Also, I was kinda surprised and disappointed to see ramy's design rush to the fog as usuals, as if nothing had happened.

Re: One Game to Rule them All

So many game of thrones references... but this is the best, most original one.

Not to change the subject, but that collab was a little slice of totally awesome. Was like the threadless challenges of the past, but here at woot. Would really love to see that as a theme- collab (designs must be done with another artist).

Re: They're playing a board game

Y'know what gets me? The pieces on the board are little t-shirts.

That seals the awesome. Imma vote for this one.

Re: They're playing a board game

This is inspired.

I'm surprised the weekday rejectionator hasn't popped in to send a message yet.

Congrats on luving your own design! Maybe next time if you follow the rules, others will luv it too!

allsaints wrote:Seriously? Grow up. This is pathetic. No one wants to come here to watch grown ups act like entitled 5 year olds. It's amazing how a discussion over a well founded issue has devolved into this. The derby isn't your soapbox, keep this in the forums. You have an issue with an artist, present your arguments like a normal adult in the appropriate place. Stop insulting artists who have worked hard to present designs for the derby by begging for attention with this garbage.

Lecturing always works better if you use your real account. Why should anyone listen to a day one whitesquare?

Awesome. Grew up loving the game, and my kids grew up on the show. Hope it makes it back to the fog (primarily to knock out one of the THREE cat shirts.)

Re: Darkest Timeline: The Game!

Nice, great design. Like the felt goatee on it too

Thursday?

ETA: were this not a message, it could easily print. easily. That said, what's to stop every artist here from following this style for easy money?
Exactly.

neuropsychosocial wrote:Oh come on, y'all, don't do this. I realize the high road isn't as amusing, but we can't encourage Ramy to mature as a person and an artist, and then pull [another] immature stunt like this.

Well, to be fair, this stunt was pulled after this stunt. Ramy chose the low road after the encouragement to mature as a person and an artist.
