Sorry, I was unaware of the new heather gray template. Here is my submission on the heather gray texture.
Hope you enjoy.

I like the fuzzy shading, soft colors, and minimalist composition. Successful use of heather is also worth some extra credit in my book. Good job.

Love the tree....reminds me a bit of that movie "Nightmare Before Christmas".
Not crazy about it on the heather gray...I would have preferred a darker color so you could see the moon, lamp, and jack-o-lantern glow a little more.

I agree with other users on the gray color. It makes the shirt look like my grandma would wear it.

Everything is art.

For a theme that provides so much to work with this entry seems almost too simple for my taste. Just my opinion.

I really like the design and the color choice, but heather does not like me. I sweat too much I don't think the design would be as cool on a different color though.

This little guy behind the tree looks an awful lot like the where the wild things are guy! If they had to reject draxxx, then this is just as close as his was to trick r treat!

Re: The Halloween Tree


I think the scroll-tree is very pretty, but I also really like how the design would look on a woman's fit shirt. Too many times, artwork makes us look bloated in the middle and gets lost if it gets tucked in. I like how this would follow a natural shape and not be distorted.

Beefcoat, this is my favorite design of the derby. The tree you draw looks like it's pulled right out of the imagination of a child. Also major kudos for keeping the design so simple and clean.

If there was any doubt of this printing, I'd award you a BLA this week. This is stunning all around from concept, to color, to shirt choice. Wonderful job!

Re: The Halloween Tree


I don't think I've been so nervous for a shirt to print (except when my own are in the fog) for a long time. It's been awhile since I've seen a design I've been so desperate to own. I really do love this and I've got my fingers crossed that this one pulls ahead.

Re: The Halloween Tree


I'm not voting because I'm one of those guys who can't bring himself to buy holiday-specific designs, but I just wanted to drop in and say that this is my favourite entry this derby. I love the illustration, the simple and understated colour choices, the charm of the character (and the pumpkin as well), the way tree twists. It's all wonderful. I really hope this wins because it definitely deserves to be printed. Brilliant work, sir.

Last time I avoid give a BLA just because something's fogged! The extra advertising might've given this the push it needed...

This is seriously THE entry I wanted badly. The tree is awesome, the monster and jack o' lantern nostalgic and the color choices pleasing. You were robbed beefcoat.

Sorry this got booted from the top four. I LOVED this shirt, very adorable (though I doubt that is what you want to hear! lol). I would have absolutely bought this one, unlike most (dare I say all) shirts in this derby!

Agreed, this was one of the three shirts I loved this time, (and the only one to get in the fog.) I voted for it, and really thought I'd be buying it. Beautiful design, and I liked the colour choice too. Damn shame it didn't print.

Agreed. Halloween tree was a much better shirt and it is a hallowoot tragedy that it's not going to be printed.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
That cat in a pumpkin kicked this out of the fog?!
I was so looking forward to getting this shirt >.<
and as someone mentioned above, it does have a "where the wild things are" kind of feel
That cat reminds me too much of puss in boots in shrek >.<
how very frustrating!

This was my favorite shirt in the derby and I'm sad to see it bumped out of the fog. The top shirts (with the exception of the cat) are good designs, but I won't buy any of them. This was one I would definitely buy.
