Re: How a Kitten Works
Just adopted two little adorable kittens this week, so I have kittens on the brain
Seriously, they melt me into a pile of goo...but it's rather scientific, if you break it down.
Thanks for the feedback in the cyberpub!
Edit: Here you can find what will be the final image if this prints. 2 small changes: added forgotten whiskers, and eliminated one accidental bg blob.

Seriously... I thought paw pads were cute on cats. On kittens? It's a whole new level of teeny cuteness.

Re: How a Kitten Works
I can deal with cuteness for the sake of mockery. Yes, that works.
And BTW - I think this works for puppies, too!
Re: How a Kitten Works
Needs more donuts!
Re: How a Kitten Works
Your design makes me think of this comic, which describes the effects of kittens quite well.

Re: How a Kitten Works
Adorable. I don't know if I like green that much though...
Re: How a Kitten Works
Very nice. It's too cute for me to wear myself, but I have a younger sister who would absolutely die for something like this. So consider it sold.
Re: How a Kitten Works
so cute!!! :D
Re: How a Kitten Works
So cute Jan, excellent work like always!

I posted some options in the threads before the derby but didn't get any clear forerunners, and offsite some people liked this one. I myself really like this shade of green - kelly green! I hope it will grow on you;)

Re: How a Kitten Works
I'm allergic to grown cats, but something about the difference of the dander in the fur makes me NOT allergic to kittens!!!!
I went and played with my friends 6-week old kitten the other day and it was so fun! Yay kitties!

I gotta tell that to my relatives that say they're allergic so they'll come visit the new kittens - "you probably aren't allergic to kittens"... who can be allergic to kittens?

Re: How a Kitten Works
I just realized that this kitty is missing whiskers! I didn't notice it before, but now that I do, it's kind of bugging me...
cat thing wrote:I just realized that this kitty is missing whiskers! I didn't notice it before, but now that I do, it's kind of bugging me...
Ackkkkk you're right. I kept thinking 'remember to add the whiskers after all the colors are done' (wasn't sure if they would be white or black), but then I guess I got caught up in the text. I haven't submitted the print-ready file yet, so if it were to win, I will add some small whiskers (not enough to change it significantly, but at least so they are there). When I get a chance I'll add them and post it in this thread so you can see it.
Re: How a Kitten Works
Cute and funny, but how does this design not violate the "minimal text" rule for this derby?
Use minimal text. We don't want to deny the comedy potential in labeling your diagrams, but we don't want a shirt with your senior thesis on microwave radiation, either.
I love it! Does it have to be on green though =(
Re: How a Kitten Works
very true descriptions, nice job!
Re: How a Kitten Works
@The Tim - Thanks, glad you find it cute and funny! I'm hoping, since this is basically a diagram, woot considers it in the diagram labeling category, not the senior thesis category. I had a version with less text but this version is funnier I think... hopefully this is safe now, because otherwise I would have resubmitted the less-text version.
@rinoa1025 - Glad you love it! I really like this shade of green, hope the color grows on you.

Re: How a Kitten Works
Careful Minimum text.. GMV
Re: How a Kitten Works
Mehh, WAY too much text for me...
Re: How a Kitten Works
This is my fav of all your submissions...I was going to do something similar except about how evil cats are. I love cats (and kittens), but sometimes they are diabolical little things.
Re: How a Kitten Works
@gr3ygoos3 - thanks.
@animuson - I can understand. I usually don't use text, but I thought it worked here.
grrlmarvel wrote:This is my fav of all your submissions...I was going to do something similar except about how evil cats are.

That reminds me of this, which I find very amusing!
Too much text in my opinion.
I don't feel like it expresses how a kitten does
More what it makes it up and what it has.
Well drawn and well done though! ;D
----------------------------------------
oh for the love of god...
Re: How a Kitten Works
Lurrr this is sooo cute! I wondering if I'd see a design like this, and I'm glad it's you, Jasneko! I think your style really shines here. :D Great tee, gmv!
Re: How a Kitten Works
Don't kittens say "meow"?
Re: How a Kitten Works
Besides not really seeing "how a kitten works" (it's more of a picture of a kitten with arrows showing its parts), this far and away violates minimal or incidental text. This design does not exist without text.
Whenever I'm feeling emo and sad, I go and look up super cute videos of kittens or otters or penguins on youtube. If this wins, all I'll have to do is wear this shirt to feel happy again
Re: How a Kitten Works
@lolcommunism - It's more trying to explain how a kitten works.. (unsaid) to make you fall in love! Glad you find it well drawn and well done, thanks!
@palookaboy - in a good way? or a bad way?
@bassanimation - Thanks so much! Kittens have been all I've been thinking about lately, so this came to mind pretty quick:D
@kylemittskus - Kittens say lots of things... Mew, meow, purrrr, brrrtt! Though I feel like at the kitten stage, there are a lot more mews than meows;)
@adderxyu - see first post to lolcommunism... and this is labeling a diagram (not a thesis), as they said in the rule about text, so hopefully woot is ok with it. I tried other versions with a different presentation, but this seemed to be the preferred one.
@lovengrey - I do the same thing when I'm feeling down - go to cuteoverload.com or just look up cute animal videos on youtube, hehe. Awww well that's awesome that this shirt would do the same thing!
Re: How a Kitten Works
must have! so cute and true! =)
Re: How a Kitten Works
This is adorable, but wow a massive amount of text. Also, I read "tilted" as having a double t, and I was confused for a moment or two.
Re: How a Kitten Works
This is super cute. A little heavy on the text & that seems to pull away from the kitten. But as a cat lover it's GMV. :D
Re: How a Kitten Works
@rockefoe - Glad you agree! Thanks =)
@arilvdc
@stargaziey
Glad you find it cute! I know it's a bit of text, (and usually I barely use text, even when permitted), but it seemed to be a stronger design overall with it. Thanks!:D

It is not labeling a diagram. It is labeling a regular cat. And the labels don't say anything about working, and the cat is not doing anything. Your excuse that "the cat is working on making us love it" is otaku-theme-validation weak.

But you love the tardis shirt with more text and no explanation at all of how it works.
Both of those should be tossed out of the derby.
Re: How a Kitten Works
I'm pretty sure this is a Fox or some other creature in the canine family.
Re: How a Kitten Works
GMV, but if you don't hit top 3 here; I STRONGLY recommend subbing to humane/adoption societies....might be the new poster kitteh!
Re: How a Kitten Works
Very, very cute! I work at an animal shelter, so you got my vote and I'd have to buy this to wear to work, if nothing else.
jasneko wrote:@palookaboy - in a good way? or a bad way?
Sorry, but bad way. Is that expression ever really used in a good context?
Re: How a Kitten Works
@adder - I've been interested in the past in 'the science of cute', and thought it worked within the theme... the breakdown of how each part of a cat works collectively to win you over (hence the text), and would make an amusing shirt to some, especially with all the cute discussion on here. Sorry if you don't agree.
@Hektikshok - Definitely a kitten
@Mishvmd - Thanks very much! Do Humane/Adoption societies take t-shirt designs? If you know who or how, please let me know. If not, I was thinking if it doesn't get top 3 or an HM, perhaps I can submit it to goodjoe and set it up to donate to the rescue organization I just got my new kittens from.
@creativev8tion - That's nice you work at an animal shelter! Thanks!=)
@palookaboy - Actually it's funny... I've heard it used in situations when people are so overwhelmed by something cute it's ridiculous and they nearly can't cope
Re: How a Kitten Works
My kitten fits this exact description. Voted!
Re: How a Kitten Works
Got a lot of friends who are voting for this one, Jas! -cheers for the kittay-
Re: How a Kitten Works
good to see u back here buddy
@groov3time - I bet quite a few kittens do. The nice thing about kittens! Thanks groov3time!
@bassanimation - sweet! Thanks Bass and yay kitty peeps!
@icymallard - Thanks icy.
Re: How a Kitten Works
woah this is a really cute shirt!! and it totally describes what my cat does too... i swear, she knows how cute she is and she's not afraid to use it! ^.^
Re: How a Kitten Works
Perfect!
Re: How a Kitten Works
Yeah, now that I look at it, it does have too much text. But, some of it could be taken out; like the "tiny tail" and "button nose". Those are the ones that seem unnecessary and, if removed, would make the design seem cleaned up.
Azurett wrote:Yeah, now that I look at it, it does have too much text. But, some of it could be taken out; like the "tiny tail" and "button nose". Those are the ones that seem unnecessary and, if removed, would make the design seem cleaned up.
Probably too late for a suggestion now, lol. :P
Oh, how I want a kitten.
Re: How a Kitten Works
Huh, they left off the fact that a little bit of meat tenderizer and you have a DELICIOUS meal for two!
Re: How a Kitten Works
@kaikitsuki49 - Thanks! Seriously, cats are born with these parts that just collectively have incredible power, hehe.
@Jedigreedo - Sweet, thanks=)
@Azurett - Hmmm... yup, it is too late now, but you're probably right, perhaps I could have at least eliminated button nose for a bit less text (though their button noses ARE so cute!)
And, if you want one - you should adopt one There are soooo many kittens in need (especially right now, kittens tend to be born now) that are abandoned and orphaned and need homes and people to love them and care for them like you!:D
@matheuct - ack! First off they are much too small to be a meal for 2.
And second - Public announcement: keep your kittens away from mathuect!!!
Re: How a Kitten Works
Just wanted to give a big thank you to everyone who supported this design! I have no idea if it's going to place or not but it's been great being in the fog the whole week, and it feels even more special because the design was inspired by new family members as of last week

they're adorable.
Re: How a Kitten Works
You know what this design needs? A big rejected stamp for violating the rule of not writing a thesis on a shirt. I've got to agree with adder that without the text, this design is just a picture of a cat.
Re: How a Kitten Works
Can anyone explain to me how this has not been rejected yet?
Normscoffee wrote:Can anyone explain to me how this has not been rejected yet?
If I was a betting man, I'd bet its because the woot rejectionator/moderator is probably a 15-year old japanese girl who loves all things cutesy and shiny.
Re: How a Kitten Works
I would buy this in a heartbeat
awww man... i wish this would of won!
