Re: The Impatient Aviator

Life's too short!

Sure, you could sit around waitin', pupatin', inflatin' your butterfly wings. Or you could take a leaf out of this bug's book, and follow the scientific method to get yourself in the air where you belong right now. ^_^


Here's a close-up detail:





Thanks for checking out this design, please vote it you like it! It's six colors on asphalt. View a BIG VERSION here.

Re: The Impatient Aviator

This is so insanely clever. +1!!!

Re: The Impatient Aviator

another well done submission for you spiritgreen.

Re: The Impatient Aviator

This is really fun! Definitely got my vote!

Re: The Impatient Aviator

Thank you!

Btw, the equation is for calculating the lift coeffecient of a flying object. :^)

Re: The Impatient Aviator

very cute! im glad to see that if something goes wrong and he gets stranded somewhere, at least he'll have plenty to eat.

Right. ^__^ The problem with this guy was stopping him from eating too much of the glider before take off.

Re: The Impatient Aviator

That is one happy caterpillar! Especially nice job on the leaf=)

Re: The Impatient Aviator

Fantastic character and colors as always. Love his expression!

Spiritgreen-

I have no idea how you get so much life into your drawings, but dang, do I want to hang out with them.

That caterpillar is basically having the best time ever.

Adorbs.

Re: The Impatient Aviator

Awwww, such a fun design! Does the formula mean anything in particular? I sure wish I was science/math literate.

Re: The Impatient Aviator

I like this and the caterpillar is really cute

Re: The Impatient Aviator

I'm digging this one. The caterpillar is very cute.

Re: The Impatient Aviator

The leaf texture is pretty great and the caterpillar's expression just makes you happy!

Re: The Impatient Aviator

so cute!

Re: The Impatient Aviator

Totally adorable.

I click for this one!
Love his face, just full of the joy of caterpillarin' and maybe not even knowing what comes next!!

The directional arrows on the graph paper remind me of something I learned in high school(couldn't tell you what, it was a long time ago!)

If they print it, I will buy.

Re: The Impatient Aviator

Love it! so clever!

Re: The Impatient Aviator

Thank you everyone! It's your votes that are keeping the little guy airborne. :^)

Re: The Impatient Aviator

It just had to be a caterpillar, huh?. That just make this piece so funny. I dig it.

Also, the leaf is really cool. I love its design. Well done!

Re: The Impatient Aviator

Hmmmm... Not quite as "scientific method" as I'd like it to be, but more on topic than most others, and I can justify how the SM could have come into play here.

This is really cute, and I usually don't like "cute," but I'm voting for this...

Re: The Impatient Aviator

Dam. Out of the fog. I will now take off my happy panda face and put on a sad panda face. Im not a science-y person, so this derby isn't for me overall, but I did love this one.

Muuuuuuuuu pouty face. }:x

Re: The Impatient Aviator

Thanks, bass'. Tough competition this week!

This simple design has done well to get as far as it has. I'm too fond of the character & the concept to give up on it though, I'll try to figure something out in the future. ^_^

Bummed to see this one fall out of the fog. That's a great looking caterpillar.

Thanks T', I appreciate it. :^)

Re: The Impatient Aviator

This one's so cute. I would definitely wear it!

Re: The Impatient Aviator

get back in the fog lil' fella
such an otterific job you've done on this Spiritgreen

I'm new here, this is my first derby; am I right in thinking it ain't over til it's over?

L'il caterpillar still has chance yes???

Hey. :-) Only the top three shirts get printed.

It's not over until Thursday at noon, so if you have a few (hundred) friends who like flying caterpillars he may still have a chance. ;)

Re: The Impatient Aviator

soooo cute!!!! *squee*

Re: The Impatient Aviator

Congrats on making it back into the fog SpiritGreen. I love this design. He needs a good updraft of votes to fly high enough :D

Good luck!

Re: The Impatient Aviator

This is fabulous! I love this so much that I took back all of my votes except this one.

Re: The Impatient Aviator

Thank you. *^_^*

Spiritgreen wrote:Thank you. *^_^*

I really hope this gets printed!!

Re: The Impatient Aviator

I keep checking to see if this has made it to the fog yet - amongst others I really like this week. But no love

Ftr, I find it a clever design.

Disregard this post.

Re: The Impatient Aviator

Great design, but you got the arrows wrong. Wind has to be traveling faster on top than on the bottom for lift to be achieved, curved arrows on top, straight arrows on the bottom.

Re: The Impatient Aviator

I made sure the wind lines were more curved above the flying machine. It's not a perfect construction but it's just about working! :p

Re: The Impatient Aviator

Hey, your design is floating around on tumblr because it was up on 9gag:

http://9gag.com/gag/39076

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see credit given to you. Look into it, perhaps?

Cheers!
