Re: Dance Party


I'm new around here, so I'd like to try to understand the rejection terms better for future reference.

This was actually based on a 3d render I made of a robot toy.

Is the problem that it's too "photorealistic", or is the problem that it's too close to an existing toy, which as far as I know is a generic robot design. Or both?

that sucks man. i'd totally throw a vote at this, if for no other reason than you rendered the toy

Someone better answer soon, Cause I'm beginning to think these things are rigged so only the same few artists get printed

The rules said it had to be an original robot. This one was based on that toy.

Which is awesome and I love this shirt and would love to buy it if it's printed elsewhere or in the future, but it was against the rules of this derby.

But isn't there one based on iPhone and one based on Roomba? Or are those ok because they aren't "really" robots.

Thanks for the kind comments. If anyone else is interested in this, please let me know and I can update you if I ever end up getting it printed.

If this was rejected because it's based on a (generic) toy robot, I wonder why the other design that is based on the exact same robot was not rejected.

That robot doesn't look exactly like the old school robot toy. That specific toy is in fact a "pop culture robot" and is not your design, though the shirt is very nice.

Good luck in the future.
