Hmm, just went in for 3 Randoms, when I haven't bought any shirts lately (although still checking frequently) so what are the chances of liking them!?! Oh well, couldn't pass up the mystery!

Re: Shell Competition
great design. Love the shading. I'm so glad I bought an olive shirt from woot already, so I know how nice the color is in person! This is a very wearable shirt that says "greed" without saying it so loud that you'd have to explain it to everyone.
I'm collecting beach t-shirts, and this is perfect for going to our (hermit-crab over-populated) beach!

Can you post a larger and less compressed picture of the image? I pulled all these colors out of it in Paint.

Re: Shell Competition
Yep, I checked it out. It's cool. The print file is only six colors.

Re: Shell Competition
Excellent design. A+ Would vote again.
I really like the colors used. It's #1 on the hotness, so heres hoping it can make into the top 3.

On the shirt images .. many artists resize the image using "smart size" or equivalent ... which will resize it, but add more colors and shading so that the image still looks great.

Re: Shell Competition
I would also like to see a blown up version. I do understand that you are only using 6 colors, but I'd like to see your method -- it looks great.
Bravo, gets my vote.

Re: Shell Competition
Based on the current voting momentum it looks like this derby will finish tomorrow at: 1st- penguin, 2nd- pig, 3rd/4th- thief or hermit crab
so, if you like this better than the thief design and voted for both, take back your other vote

Or everyone could take back the votes from the penguins. Sorry cho, but you've won so much and we've had penguins, share the wealth. Let the crab get some love.

I want that hermit crab so much, I actually did this. Who am I kidding, I've done it before...
Please vote for this shirt!!
And I'm not even including the ones that were gifts!

Re: Shell Competition
Thanks everyone for the kind words! I feel bad if you're taking away votes from the other guys. I've voted for 3 of the shirts in the fog and I'm hoping to buy some.
If only the hermit crab didn't have so many shells on his back, maybe he could climb the ranks a little faster... greedy little bugger.

I love the steady, resolute, uphill crawl into the fog. Here's hoping that crab makes you some serious clams, and by clams I mean money.
And by crab I mean skill as an artist.

Just a heads up, check the website on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 1:00 A.M EST when the new shirt goes up. Because if this shirt is in the top 3, its likely to sell out in 1 or 2 hours. So if you wait till you wake up in the morning its more than likely going to be sold out and you'll have to pay $5 more the next day.
