I would wear this. Pretty cool!

Re: Wall Pixels

Damn good work here. Wish there was more color.

Re: Wall Pixels

Thanks for the comments! I wanted to keep it pretty simple like a true damask wallpaper would be, so that is why I went with one color. I will say, each pixel was lovingly placed by hand. Option+drag for hours. ugh.

THANKS AGAIN!

well it PAID OFF. this is gorgeous.

Did you do half and then mirror, by chance?
As mentioned in the forum last night, will they be picky about the word pixels in the title? I sure hope not.

honestly, i didn't reflect it. I know that I could have, but it seemed like a fun challenge. It wasn't. HA!

Thanks for the support, all!

Why would they be picky about that? That's anal retentive even for woot (though lately, woot has been incredibly lazy about any rejections at all, so even less reason to worry).

My question and worry, as normal, will be printing. These are very close colors... at least being a one color design will make any color changes that might occur in printing less of a hassle, but if they keep it like this, there may not be enough contrast to even see the art.

Re: Wall Pixels

Good looking shirt. This week I think there were quite a few looking pretty rough. I really appreciate how you used the parameters to make something cool and unique. I don't mind clever but at some point some things are a little silly.


Re: Deconstruction

Re: Wall Pixels

I do like this, but I'd like to see one printed to see if the colors show up correctly.

I'm not sure what most people did, but I believe lots of people made a 64x80 pixel canvas and then filled in the individual pixels with the pencil tool. Selecting "resample image: nearest neighbor" when sizing up to the print sized pic makes the image larger without distorting the separate boxes/pixels of color.
Throwing that out there. It'll be helpful if you're planning on working on another one, or helpful for anyone who has yet to submit something, but wants to. It would've cut down on a ton of option-clicking, but then so would reflecting the image... I'm not knocking the methods to your madness though, I have my own masochistic tendencies to attend to. Plus there can be a tremendous amount of pride in not taking shortcuts.
Congrats on being fogged, cheesesandwich.... (mmmmmmm... cheese sandwich).

Re: Wall Pixels

This is really nicely done Cheese. It almost looks like a cross-stitched or needlepointed design. It's very wearable. I like the blue on blue as well.

Re: Wall Pixels

I like this, but I think that it might look better with the colors switched.

I totally agree. Some of these shirts are just too "out-there" to wear--too bright or too cartoonish. This one is subtle and almost sophisticated, as far as T-shirts go anyway. I hope others are inspired by this one.

Re: Wall Pixels

It looks velvety on my monitor, too bad woot can't print that!

Re: Wall Pixels

Awesome EXACTLY the way it is. GMV for sure.

HA! you really did it. Thanks for the comment.

Re: Wall Pixels

Thank you all so much for the wonderful feedback and compliments! I am glad that there has been such a good response to this shirt. It was inspired by my love for all things William Morris. WM was one of the artists who first got me interested in design when I was a kid. If you don't know his work, check it out.

Sincere thanks to atarango, klswoot, BSmooth357, chicnoir, goredbirds101, BumperK, ChrisRisse, ya2sabes, TAYLORT5 and trumpetgal!

Mmhmm, a lot of shirts these days are trying way to hard to be funny or bright and explosive. It's really good to see some design and art get back up on the fog, keep it up cheese.

Re: Wall Pixels

awesome!! in for two if this wins :D

Re: Wall Pixels

Loves it!

gambit07 wrote:awesome!! in for two if this wins :D

Thanks so much.

I really like it!!

My only concern is that it will turn out like Treacherous Waters. That was a beautiful design but the colors of the design and the royal blue of the shirt were so close that the design was all but completely lost on the shirt. I think that shirt makes me the saddest of all of the ones I have because it could have come out so great I would hate to see this turn out like that.

But then again, the contrast of a damask fabric can often be subtle, so maybe this will work perfectly Hope so!

Re: Wall Pixels

Ok... so this is going to sound pretty stupid... but I need to ask. Is this going to be on the light blue shirt with the darker blue print? I mean... it's not going to be on the dark blue right? Just wondering

I made this little color comparison to illustrate the shirt color (royal blue) and the ink color I choose in my file (PMS 280). I hope this helps clarify/reduce concerns about the design printing well.



Thanks for looking!

cheesesandwich wrote:HA! you really did it. Thanks for the comment.

Cheese and crackers, what the daisy hill was THAT?

Anyway. The shirt looks beautiful. I'm a sucker for OCD design (I do Elizabethan blackwork embroidery for FUN), and this is gorgeous. I'd buy it, and I've voted for it.

I am so thankful for all of the wonderful comments and votes this week. so... KEEP 'EM COMIN! HA, but seriously, thanks to everyone who has voted.

Re: Wall Pixels

clean, simple, and pleasing to the eye... a quality missing from a lot of pixel designs, even fogged. I think this accomplishes the removal of the harsh edges produced by pixels by getting the viewer's eyes to ignore them. Great job.

Wow, thanks a lot. I appreciate your comment and I really like what you have been doing in these derbies.

Re: Wall Pixels

i am new to woot, and i was wondering where you get your tshirt model... how it looks like someone is actually in the shirt?

Agree 100%. I already commented, but this is definitely one of my favorite Cheesesandwich designs, and my personal favorite of the derby. PLEASE VOTE!

I can't seem to find the thread, but Cho had posted a template with real t-shirts. Anyone know where silverice86 can find that?

All I did for mine was get a picture of someone in a blank tee and made a clipping path around the shirt in photoshop. nothing special really.

Wrinkly shirts.

Keep in mind that the file is 604x643 and thus should be resized to 600x600 - otherwise your uploaded image will have artifacts and such.

Excellent design!

Re: Wall Pixels

Wow, this really is a close race. The next couple of days are going to be interesting (aka unnerving).

Thanks for the votes so far, and if you haven't voted... consider it? THANKS!

This is my first post.... ever. This design is so hot you made me break my quasi-vow of silence. I really hope this one wins, good job!

Thanks. You rule. It looks like (literally) a couple votes separates 3rd, 4th, and 5th places. If you guys wanna wear these wall pixels, vote it up.

thanks gambit. I am freaking out over here. maybe some troops will rally around the shirt overnight. I would settle for a three way tie with KLS and Fable. I really, really would!
