Spot on, Edgar. I knew this was a great theme for you.

Re: He's totally gonna make it.
I really like the way you did the shadows on the ground, and you somehow managed to convey exactly your title simply through the expressions and postures of the people in the background. You, sir, are crazy awesome.

I don't think that's possible, because the image is already the widest it can be... so he would have to change the proportions in order to make the image larger.

I've always been a fan of your work edgar, the unrealism (is that a word?) of your characters are very appealing and much more wearable then a lot of other stuff on woot. I agree that it would be nice if the design was a bit larger but I wouldn't want to sacrifice the proportions to make it so. in short, awesome job.
PS. Any chance you'll make an "after" shirt? ha cause he's definitely not making that...

Re: He's totally gonna make it.
Gorgeous. Even without text, it has to my mind a really nice ride the walrus of the logic of video games (where one would find a spike pit like that) and a cute, whimsical logic. The facial expression on the biker is priceless. For God's sake, into the fog with it - it's markedly better than three of the five shirts ahead of it.

That was my guess. I haven't seen any of those comments though - I don't frequent the non-shirt.woot boards (other than EBW) because I can't buy anything over there anyway. Well, if I do, I can't have it shipped to me.
Getting off topic though. Edgar, this is my third favourite design in the derby, right after BootsBoots' and my own. I hope you take this somewhere else in 60 days. I still recommend you try Cameesa. You have a group of very dedicated fans; I'm sure you would be an unstoppable force at Cameesa given their crowd-funded system. You've definitely got a crowd!

Re: He's totally gonna make it.
I saw this and laughed. All I could think about was all the dumb stuff my friends and I did as kids. Also, these spikes remind me of the ones from the original Prince of Persia (if any of you even remember a game that old!)

I can't believe this is more than two hundred votes behind 5th place. This is the only shirt in the derby that I voted for. Good luck on the next do-over derby.

Re: He's totally gonna make it.
Reminds me of words which I have always found motivational:
It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal.
The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.
It is not a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled.
But it is a calamity not to dream.
It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal,
But it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture.
It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars.
But it is a disgrace not to have stars to reach for.
Not failure, but low aim is a sin.
