Re: Eel Charging Station

Re: Eel Charging Station

Also GMV as promised.

Re: Eel Charging Station

This is great! I want one! Awesome concept and execution!!!!
:c)

Re: Eel Charging Station

Wow... haha, I always come up with a shirt that I'm proud of but then I see other submissions and my hopes are dashed XD

Flawless execution, love this shirt!

Re: Eel Charging Station

this turned out great loop

Re: Eel Charging Station

Hahaha, this is great. Woot should sell more Power Squids the same day as this.

That'd be awesome. XD

Good job, iLoop...GMV! :D

Re: Eel Charging Station

Heh. Nice. Just noticed the power bars.

Re: Eel Charging Station

This woot is always sold out when I come across it. Maybe the shirt will sell out too!

Re: Eel Charging Station

Still good! And it looks really nice on the tee too.

Good choice with the glow, Loopy. I think it looks best this way.

Re: Eel Charging Station

Clever and very well drawn. Good Job.

Re: Eel Charging Station

lovin it

Re: Eel Charging Station

Nice. Whats the price per charge?

Re: Eel Charging Station

This looks great. I just hope it doesn't incurr the wrath of the rejectorator for being too woot related.

So true! I have bought so many of those power squids. Nice work!

Powersquid...that's awesome

Re: Eel Charging Station

Thanks for the votes and comments, guys! I had a really hard time with the color scheme for this one. I appreciate the help I got in the derby discussion thread.

POWERSQUID YES

Re: Eel Charging Station

Awesome Infinity! Love this!

Re: Eel Charging Station

Fantastic original design. Excellent idea, loop.

The only other thing I have to add is that I love your use of negative space in your designs. Quite a few of your tees from both here and TF are my favourites as they are stunning illos, yet feel like practically no ink on the tees. Love it.

Re: Eel Charging Station

I did not know what a power squid was until now. Thanks!

Re: Eel Charging Station

Haha! POWER SQUID! Great shirt for woot. Funny stuff and well done, too.

Re: Eel Charging Station

Thanks for designing a shirt for ME!!!! DH hates the power squids I bought, but I am so happy I have them..

And congrats on your print and FIRST PRIZE at uneetee!

Re: Eel Charging Station

Love the play on the "Squid" style surge protectors. Great creativity. Wish I could think on that level.

Re: Eel Charging Station

Are you in the pay of ThinkGeek?

;)

Excellently done!

Very cute. The power indicators on the sides of the eels are a nice touch.

Re: Eel Charging Station

Very slick. I like the sad one that's trying to make it up to get recharged.

Re: Eel Charging Station

I have to have this shirt. Believe it or not, my cousin invented the Power Squid. His name is Chris Hawker. Look it up.

Re: Eel Charging Station

Very interesting, cool Idea

Re: Eel Charging Station

I would really like to own this.

Wow, I can't believe this fell out of the fog...

Re: Eel Charging Station

How is this not woot related? If I hadn't see the power-squids before on the main woot site, I'm not sure I would get this or find it as funny as I do. Great shirt, great illustration, but I don't think it is within the rules. Unfortunately, I don't see this as any different than putting a leak-frog on the shirt.

You know that these things are sold everywhere right? These aren't just woot exclusives.

Re: Eel Charging Station

Should be first place.

Obviously - there are very few things that woot sells exclusively. My point is, and I can only speak for myself, that I would not find this shirt as funny if not for the relation to the main woot site. I wouldn't know this thing is actually called a power squid. Who know, maybe if I didn't know what this thing was, I might actually find the shirt more clever.

This is just great! Totally want one.

@SpastasticNomadic - Thank you! I'm glad you like the negative space. Oh and thanks for supporting Gamer Mother in your sig! She needs more love like that.

@mjc613 - Thanks for the shout out about Uneetee!

@kinzoku - I'm glad you like those. I was a little worried they would be too silly looking.

@elwayman - That's awesome!

@dsatele - I think the first place I saw a Power Squid was at Walmart. I don't keep up with Woot as much as I do Shirt.Woot, so I didn't even consciously make a Woot reference.

Thanks for the votes and the comments guys!

Re: Eel Charging Station

My Go-goodness. This design. So awesome.

I like the way the eels seem to be captured in motion. The general concept scores as well.

Re: Eel Charging Station

Love how you rendered the eels, very cool!

Re: Eel Charging Station

Come on folks get this back into the fog!

I just don't understand how this is not winning...I'll be so sad if I don't get to buy this shirt.

Re: Eel Charging Station

Really nice. I didn't want to like this. I tried to hate it. But in the end, I still love it. Now I just hate you for making me love it, when I wanted so badly to hate it.

P.S. I love you.

Re: Eel Charging Station

Re: Eel Charging Station

I'm sad that this shirt isn't going to get printed.

Re: Eel Charging Station

I think this one is definitely one of the funniest concepts. Really like the composition, too.

Alas, unlike some others, I regret that I have but one vote to give for this design.

Re: Eel Charging Station

Re: Eel Charging Station

Cmon eels! Really pulling for this one!

Re: Eel Charging Station

This shirt needs to get printed elsewhere ASAP if it doesn't get HM. This design is way better than most of the fog, for sure. I'd put it at #2 or #3 of all the shirts, at the very worst.

Re: Eel Charging Station

Why I'm sad:

It's not overly cute
It's really clever
It's executed perfectly
It's not a concept retread
It's not gonna get printed tomorrow.

UNFAIR.
