Derby #11: Cryptozoology

Hey, this Derby's over. When you're finished reliving past glories, check out what's going on in the Derby right now. It's probably even cooler. Or at least newer.

Derby #11: Cryptozoology

For some animal lovers, the astonishing variety of animal life isn't enough. No, they need to populate their personal biosphere with unicorns, yetis, chupacabras, Loch Ness monsters, Jersey devils, rocs, griffins, Carolina lizard men, and other apocryphal fauna, just to keep things interesting. And who are we to judge them? So in light of the many animal shirts we've sold in the past, we figured it was time to give the pseudo-animals their turn on the sabretoothed catwalk. Everybody get cryptozoological!

Froth: He may be slow but he's also very useless

WE DO EXIST (butterfly, turtle dove, ect)

Stranded Bright and Bubbly Hungry Mutant Bird

+38

This is appears to be traced from an image pointed out in the forums: http://www.fieldscapes.com/sculp-angel.html. Resubmit with a different 'inspriation'

+365

Turns out balloon animals are real and not just a product of my deranged mind.

+50

Very nice design, but it's too similar in essence to http://www.threadless.com/product/281/Loch_Ness_Imposter

+55

Pretty neat...but we can't print that with those halftones

Sweet Metal shirt...where's the Crypto, Mythical or Fantastical animal?

+11

+18

Nice execution, but too generally monter and not enough Crypto, Fantasical, or Mythicness (yes that's a word)

Off theme...although I like that it references the theme.

+12

Ouch...not quite PG 13. Maybe if it wasn't butt related

+14

Woot did a shirt like this and it was a mess

+17

+10

Great shirt, but giraffes are real and so natural selection is a popular scientific 'theory' that is also real

+37

This is a really cool zebra shirt from what I can. Where's the crypto, fantasical, or mythical aspect?

+10

Not ready to print 'ass' on a shirt even if it's technically PG

+18

I don't get this. Nematodes are real I think (roundworms) and this looks like a dog

+21

This appears to be too large a print area. Resubmit a little smaller

There's not animal...legs/footprints are real.

I think this is a Woot reference which is a no no

+12

Same submission that was rejected before. Girraffes with or without necks are not crypto, mystical or fantastical

+23

+36

+12

I think there are gradients and/or halftones, but can't really tell

+118

+34

Use of gradients and/or halftones...also didn't we already have this entry in a previous derby?

+182

+22

+14

Mole Rats are real and choose to stay naked to live life unencumbered

+49

I don't know what they are. I might like them, but I can't tell what's going on.

+24

Aliens aren't crypto...they are real as the shirt suggests

I can't actually tell what's going on here, but based on the title alone I'll assume it's inappropriate

+13

This might be crypto, mythical or fantastical, but I can't tell

+62

Neat, but uses halftones and/or gradients

+26

Bizarre, but not crypto, mythical or fantastical

+44

+19

+21

+27

Hmmm...not crypto, mythical or fantastical

Weird, but not crypto, mythical or fantastical

+12

Hippos aren't crypto, mythical or fantastical

Love the Pucker, but jellyfish aren't crypto, mythical or fantastical

More Rube Goldberg than Cryptozoological
