I'm crossing my fingers for this to be your week. This is AMAZING. I am trying to cut back on the shirt-buying, but if this prints, I'm totally getting it. Good luck!!!

Thanks for the kind words everybody. I've got my fingers crossed that one of my two currently fogged designs prints.

Re: Balloon Race

The colors make for amazing atmospheres in both your designs this week sir.

I got my fingers crossed for you all week man. Seeing you place in one of these contests would seriously make my day. It's been long overdue.

Re: Balloon Race

I'm also happy you decided to post this - my favorite of yours this week. Already got my vote Just love the colors.

Re: Balloon Race

Yay, odroc!

I wasn't going to mention your two in the fog, 'cuz I'm superstitious like that (kineahora), but others have done so before me, so I guess I can give you a teeny-weeny little congrats.

Anywho, this particular design is *just gorgeous* and luminous. I'd buy it in a heartbeat and I don't even have two $5s to rub together. ;)

luminous and lovely.

Re: Balloon Race

Nice concept, but I dislike the messy execution. I also worry about having this much halftoning across a large area of a shirt.

Re: Balloon Race

I definitely like this one better than your other, glad you posted it. I like the sketchiness of the balloons, probably more than if you'd cleaned them up.

I like the line work, reminds me of the head/tail light trails you see in nighttime shots of traffic. The background really adds a nice amount of depth.

Re: Balloon Race

Re: Balloon Race

I'm on the same boat as a lot of people here. I think the design looks really neat, but I would love to see how it prints first. Still, I support you getting printed, so hopefully you still win. Don't be afraid to buy me stuff with your woot money.

Re: Balloon Race

I think this is going to look great when it prints. Here's why:

1. It's sketchy so registration could be horribly off and it would still look good.

2. The finest most detailed lines use ink rather than the shirt color, so they will be crisp. If fine detailed lines are created using the background color, the inks in the surrounding areas will bleed into the fine lines and damage their crispness.

3. Woot wouldn't have set down new rules for halftone unless they felt they could consistently produce that level of halftones. odysseyroc knows his stuff, and there is no doubt in my mind his halftones are in spec and on the money.

I'm a hot air balloonist as well as an amateur astronomer-type, so it would seem that either you're cosmically tuned in to the stuff I am, or you're a nerd-targeting stalker. Either way, good work.

Re: Balloon Race

Re: Balloon Race

Dude! You are rockin' this style. GMV, and fingers crossed!

Re: Balloon Race

Loving the design, but not really sure I'd be able to wear it per say, a little too 'much' for the shirt front. Still really cool! (If you had an animated version it would make a sickkk android live wallpaper)

Re: Balloon Race

Ah I wish it was on asphalt, I don't like the colors with the black as much, too striking for my tastes. Even still I would buy one...
