Re: Velociraptors

Ooops, I guess I must have clicked post twice. Anyway, I'm hoping this gets in the top 3

Thanks, sacrerouge ;-) I hope so, too!

Re: Velociraptors

Oh hells yeah!

Re: Velociraptors

This is too otterific for words!

Re: Velociraptors

Gah, I wish your thumbnail was of the black or red Velociraptors. The white one's foreshortening on the head rather bothers me and I think the other two are so much cooler looking. I really like the shirt over all. It's really neat looking. LOL sorry you made the thumbnail out of the one bit that bothers me in the image. =P The way you've drawn the guy's riding them is also great. GMV! Good luck!

I pray to raptorjesus that you win.....you give me hope in humanity

Re: Velociraptors

@thurdl01: cheers :-D

@bluetuba: thanks!

@DianaSprinkle: Honestly, by the time I got around to thumbnail selection for this design, my hand was about to fall off & I was too tired to think straight :-P I may have chosen poorly... *shrugs* Thx for stoppin' by!

@jdeforke: Lolz :-) Thx!

LOL, I have totally been there. I'm just glad people are giving you votes and keeping you in the hotness. I really like this image.

Re: Velociraptors

I agree with Diana, you don't see a 1/10th of the awesomeness until you click the thumbnail.

Very, very cool design! +1

Re: Velociraptors

Oh, wow...very nice work! I love your colors and those raptors are looking mighty evil. This definitely hits a funny bone because I've always joined the "Say no the raptors!"

Are you and XKCD fan? Because that's the first thing I thought of when I saw this T-shirt.

MUST HAVE

Re: Velociraptors

I'm extremely impressed by this. You must have been literally reading the Bible passage this is based on when you were designing it.

Re: Velociraptors

@DianaSprinkle: thanks, chica! :-D

@Spiritgreen: thank you, glad you like it :-)

@YinofYang: thank you -- long live the raptors! ;->

@scionofjubal: why yes, actually... :->

@snmurphy95: *grins* Cheers!

@paulkremer: well, I may've taken some artistic license... :-P

Re: Velociraptors

Yeah, in the fog! Someone should tell that XKCD guy about this.

Re: Velociraptors

I can clearly tell which one Death is, and War is probably the one with a sword - but how are Pestilence and Famine represented by the other two characters?

Re: Velociraptors

The characters are otterific, I just wish there was a bit more shading and depth with the colors. Regardless, this is A+ cool.

Oh, yes, I'm a big fan. I'm tickled because I thought the same exact thing. :D They have been cemented in my mind since Jurassic Park, though.

Re: Velociraptors

@Hammylink: Yes, yay for the fog, indeed :-D

@Darquis: Well, the white rider can be interpreted as "Pestilence" or "Conquest". Per the biblical text, he is given a bow and a crown, and "rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest." (Rev. 6:1-2 NIV) I believe the bow represents plague and pestilence in Greek mythology. The black rider holds the scales, depicting the weighing and measuring of food in time of famine.

@Drakxxx: Thanks! Still workin' on my color skillz. Maybe someday I'll be a color master like CrescentDebris ;-)>

@YinofYang: 'S funny, b/c I like XKCD, but I must have missed the velociraptor strips...? Feel free to enlighten me!

Reminds me of an online comic strip-- Dr. McNinja: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1pbI9lmqIjM/SSO789-aQXI/AAAAAAAACXw/6ac8bPkFP44/s400/300px-McNinja.png

Re: Velociraptors

@megnolia7: Lolz, I haven't checked out Dr. McNinja in aaaages :-D He's always full of win.

I'm usually a stickler about literary stuff such as the order of horsemen (conquest comes before war) or scientific stuff such as the widely-accepted theory that raptors had feathers.

However, this is otterific enough for me to overlook those little details. Hope you get in the top three 'cause I would definitely get this shirt.

Re: Velociraptors

@IraGlacialis: I hear ya -- I debated about both of those issues while I was drawing this... in the end, I went with what worked for me, composition-wise, and imho, raptors are just more badass without feathers :-P

Definitely! Here are some various links to some velociraptor goodness.

Re: Velociraptors

@YinofYang: Lolz, thanks! :-) I'd seen the "no velociraptor" shirt in the xkcd store, but I'd never really understood its origins. I like the math strip best!

Re: Velociraptors

Wish I knew how to vote for this, I wants it made! I wants to wear it. Precious.

Re: Velociraptors

I want this shirt so bad. I'll die an otterific-less death without it.

You cannot vote until you purchase one item from any of the Woot! sites. Maybe this can be your first purchase and you'll be able to vote after that.

Re: Velociraptors

Very Cool I'd wear one right away but I wouldn't call them Velociraptors. Utahraptors or Deinonychus, definitely, unless the horsemen are small enough to ride on turkeys.

This is an otterific shirt I totally hope to be able to buy it soon.

Re: Velociraptors

@warfangle: See jboshaw's comment above, if you haven't already... then vote away! Glad you like my shirt design! :-)

@evilmoxie: Thx :-> Please don't die, shirt or no...

@jboshaw: Gracias :-)

@barbada: Yeah, there's some artistic license at work here. Glad you like the shirt, though, thanks!

I'm new to shirt.woot (and woot in general) - how will I know when/if I can buy this shirt? Because, you know, I kinda need to have it. Like, now.

Re: Velociraptors

@mahgreggah: So glad you like the shirt! :-)

Here's how it works -- Once you, having joined Woot and made at least one Woot purchase, vote for the shirt design(s) of your choice by clicking "I'd Want One" above the design's picture, then you sit back and cross your fingers (and tell all your [legitimate] Woot-member buddies to vote for the uber-excellent shirt(s) you want to win) and wait for Friday.

Friday morning, Shirt.Woot's first place winner will be posted. Saturday morning, the second place winner, etc. If you haven't seen the shirt you want by Sunday morning... *shrugs* So it goes.

If you're lucky, the shirt you want may be granted an Honorable Mention by the Woot deities, and given a second chance to compete in the next Double-Take Derby, or the deities may feature it as an Editor's Choice.. but the odds are pretty slim, honestly. Such is the world of Shirt.Woot.

This one's epic. So. How do I vote for this or something? I'm new here...

NVM, I can't read. Hope this will go for sale though.

Re: Velociraptors

@lorenzvg: thanks! 'Fraid you're on your own when it comes to voting, though ;-)

Re: Velociraptors

At first, I was very confused by this design. I didn't know what it stood for, until somebody mentioned Four Horsemen. So I did what any other person would do..I googled it. =) I must say that this design is quite brilliant and I absolutely love the raptors touch! I also love that you took the time to add in those small details, i.e. the bow, weights, etc. to symbolize the different men. Definitely got my vote! =)

Re: Velociraptors

I kept meaning to come and comment here. This is an otterific design! I sort of wish the one raptor wasn't white, but eh, minor nitpick. This is way cool, I would not be surprised at all to see this place! Great job!

Re: Velociraptors

This design walks the line between ridiculous and ridiculously funny.

clever girl

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Re: Velociraptors

Am I the only one who doesn't know the adjective otterific?

Re: Velociraptors

Oragutan Mating Guide!!! I must have this shirt! There was obviously a mis-translation in Revelations. It's gonna be Raptors, not horses!

i would love to see this shirt come to fruition in some way!!! please, Lords of Woot, make it happen.
