Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

This is another collaboration between tgentry and jamescho84. Would make a great gift for fathers day ::hint hint::

Also, please check out our other entry, Green Knight: The Weekend Warrior here Thanks everyone

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

A very well thought out entry, I like it better than the weekend warrior. Especially how the turtle represents slow and steady stream of income, and the rabbits are money just flying away.

I can relate. Though woot income seems to come in spurts, I think that wouldn't make a very pg 13 shirt.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

winner.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

I'd love the credit cards forming green jets zooming away at high speeds, but I think it would be too much. Great job guys.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

Genius. But I hate you two so much.

Calling for a ban on collaborations between top tier woot artists.

Just kidding. Sort of.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

This is way cool! Makes me wish I were faster in Illustrator.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

This is NOT an attack, because I like this shirt, but I thought woot wasn't allowed to print money?

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

This, I like. a lot.

This is absolutely a good shirt. Amazing shirt is more like it. Headed straignt to the top where it deserves to be. Great job guys. I plan on buying this one, no question.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

Great concept and awesome design. I think it's great you're making designs for the people who wanted a Fatherhood derby too.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

Who is this chogentry person? This is awesome -- making it two for two.
Looks like 1's and 5's going in, 20's going out, yeah? That's about right....

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

Extraordinary. In for two of these as well as the Green Knight. Going to be a lot going out next weekend.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

Hot.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

Damn, this is a great bit of design. Fantastic execution of the idea!

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

I would love to be a fly on the wall during your brainstorming sessions.

This is so money! OK, yes, I know that was a bad pun...but I am so in!

I love this design! But didnt the derby rules stipulate that it had to be on a green shirt? Might want to double-check in case you have to resumbit and get it back in the fog.

Oops - my mistake. I just went back and read the rules again. Forget I mentioned it. la-la-la

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

Don't really like this at all, I think it would look kind of stupid being worn by a 25 year old guy ...

i don't understand your logic at all....
This fits anyone that receives or makes money and then spends it.
So to me it seems to fit ages 16 and up (maybe even 12 and up if you count allowances and such)

Oh ...and count me in on buying one guys ... .Great job. My favorite shirt of the derby (and only one i plan to buy)

Good, then buy one. I won't.

The beauty of commerce.

Personally, as a 25 year old guy, I feel as if I'd look stupid walking around in a white shirt with oragami bunnies on it ... regardless of whether the message "resonates with me".

If you diagree, so be it, but that's how I feel.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

Collaborate on 2 more shirts and you guys will own the fog.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

I am also not trying to degrade the awesome talent of Cho and Gentry, but I thought woot didn't print shirts with money on them. I've seen designs rejected just for that reason. Enlighten me?

iris420 wrote:I am also not trying to degrade the awesome talent of Cho and Gentry, but I thought woot didn't print shirts with money on them. I've seen designs rejected just for that reason. Enlighten me?

They don't print shirts with photos of money on them. I believe that was the issue with shirts that were rejected. You aren't supposed to copy or reproduce money, so woot won't put those copies on a shirt. Drawings of money are fine. That's my understanding.

Personally I think it's a pretty unisex design. Origami, tortoises, and rabbits aren't really gender specific (well rabbits are if you call them bunnies I guess). . I don't look at it and say, wow that's a girly shirt. But if you feel that way that's fine.

Also it's on cream not white.

Yeah, given what has been and has not been rejected in the past, you can't print copies/scans/live traces of money, but you CAN draw your own money. This one's safe.

It's even clever enough to have avoided putting any text on the money. Thus it won't be rejected for that either. :-)

You're not alone in your thoughts.

I give credit for the work put into this... but it's not something that appeals to me, nor would I ever wear it.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

awesome work...

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

I'm sure some guys would feel fine wearing it, I'm just not one of them.

Don't take that the wrong way though, I think it's very well done, and I'm a fan of your previous work ... I proudly own the Hamlet monkey.

How perfect that it is a woot shirt...this site is like steroids for my little money bunnies.

+1.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

Very clever design. Very well executed. I should have known it was Cho and Gentry.

I'm not in love with the placement (on me it would go into my armpits), but I may have to get one anyway.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

My gawd... you two should just start on the dailies, so woot can have awesome shirts every single day of the week and really make me go broke!
Awesome designs, the lawnmower knight too! It's one of those things it's so simple but so clever, makes you wish you would have thought of that! Def getting one congrats to both of you!

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

Isn't it supposed to be on a "green (or grass) colored shirt"?

Although, I suppose my [dead] grass is almost this color.


EDIT: Nevermind ^_^

Actually, they say you can use a green/grass shirt OR green ink. This one's fine. :-)

No problem. All is Zen. :-)

Great illustration of a concept. Won't buy it, though (and I wish a green shirt would be offered instead of another daggum putty-colored one on the night this one wins).

Better then the Green Knight. I like.

I tend to agree with most criticisms mentioned in the forum, but in this case I completely agree with tgentry. After attempting to look at this design from different perspectives, I still do not see how a 25 year old male would look stupid wearing this shirt (I'm 26). In fact, in most instances I would argue it is completely appropriate.

Another outstanding collaboration, but personally I'm still leaning toward the Weekend Warrior!

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

hehe, good idea. nice execution. good job. I wouldnt wear it personally, but i guy i knew, him and that shirt GOT IT ON WOOO WEEE!
no, no they didnt. but u could imagine what'd be like if they did...

JustJiggles wrote:Uggh. I used to like TGentry.

I still do. Did he steal your girlfriend? Oh Gentry, you playa.

Only thing that strikes me as odd with this design, is that there are as many turtles as rabbits, and they spaced closer together than the rabbits are, visually implying that the two are the same. For it to represent 'faster out/slower in', visually, there should be more rabbits & closer together, with fewer turtles & farther apart.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

Awesome stuff dudes. Any chance you'd care to expand a bit about your collaboration process? You've both been quite prolific in producing well-executed shirts with great ideas in the past, so I'm curious as to who contributed what. I don't think I was able to look at either of the two Chogentry shirts this week and say "James was responsible for this part, and Travis for that."

Actually there's one more rabbit than there are turtles. If you look at the smaller version on the shirt you can see the extra rabbit, which is the large rabbit in the lower left as well. Interesting point about spaceing them apart though. I think visually it might not have worked as well, but conceptually makes sense.

Thanks Brian. It's funny because we can both see our individual styles in both of these. I think we'd probably just as soon keep it a mystery though.

I'm not a player, I just crush a lot.

Seriously though, I had a lot of fun working with James. He's a nice guy and very professional. If someone has a negative view of him for whatever reason I'd just recommend talking to him. I think you'd find he's a pretty decent person. In fact PM him. A lot. He really enjoys it when he gets 100-200 PMs a day, especially from strangers... ;)

I simply wouldn't walk around in a cream shirt with oragami bunnies on it, plain and simple.

I wouldn't wear this to the bar, I wouldn't wear it to a concert, and I wouldn't even want to wear it on casual Friday at work. I'd feel stupid in all of those situations ... but that's just me.

I still congratulate tgentry for designing yet another shirt that made it's way to the fog. Hopefully it places so that people who like it can snag it.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

Reminds me of my father....he used to fold $$ into rings and slip them on my fingers!

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

Is it just me or are there 7 colors? Or is one of them the shirt's color (credit cards, wallet stitching etc?).

One of them is the shirt's color.

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

very nice shirt, i love the concept...but you two keep making my money turn into rabbits...

I love this shirt! Maybe it's because you used a "green theme" without using a green shirt or some sort of environmental message. Not that I'm against the environment, *giggles*, but it's nice to see something different.

briannyc128 wrote:Awesome stuff dudes. Any chance you'd care to expand a bit about your collaboration process?

Gentry is the genius behind the two ideas. He lined this entry, I did the fills - I lined the green knight, he did the fills. Thanks for the votes and comments every1 we both appreciate it

You should also look at the type of money that's going in (washingtons/lincolns) vs. what's going out (hamiltons)...

Re: It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In

RabidRabbitThugbot wrote:I don't see the Green theme here.

between 520 and 570 nanometers on your visual dial, it's the color of plants, of money, of jealousy, of eco-marketing.

tgentry wrote:Money is green. Also 'green' is money. It's just like anything with plants or frogs on it. They are on topic because they are the color green.

Actually, I think woot has a problem, not your shirt design. Though I don't like the other one (just a robot's opinion). Woot really overuses the "not on theme" argument. If they mean to say "we don't want to print this one" why don't they just say that? This is certainly no more off-topic than many of the shirts still in contention, but is probably more off-topic than several that have been rejected too.
