Re: Forest Fantasy

I think RPG day in the forest is going to be interesting @_@.

I had this idea and really loved it, so Im taking a shot with it here. This is my first real pop cult entry, so I feel a tad sinful about it ^^;. Also, bunnies. Im sorry guys! (runs away making Zoidberg noises) Woop woop wooop wooop....

I am pretty sure this is Cait Sith.

That's a dragon and not a Chocobo? My eyesight IS bad.

Re: Forest Fantasy

My mind immediately went somewhere dirty with the carrot sizes.

Please, please, please make this a shirt. I created an account just so that I could comment about how AMAZING this shirt is.

Re: Forest Fantasy

Awww I love the dragon!

Re: Forest Fantasy

His carrot will pierce the Heavens!

Re: Forest Fantasy

Bunnies are my kryptonite. Adorable execution and a hideously adorable concept. So good!

Re: Forest Fantasy

Buster Carrot FTW!

Re: Forest Fantasy

The two mini characters are so wonderful it almost makes me sad to see those 'woot bunnies' again

Re: Forest Fantasy

I'll stay up to 1 am to get this one. Come on fog...

He's not supposed to be anyone in particular. The idea I had was sort of an eastern fantasy meets western fantasy. In western style fantasy rpg, there's usually a guy who is the 'king' or 'lord' that everyone's serving. Even at places like ren faires, there's a guy who is the king. So that was sort of the idea here. ^_^. In hindsight I might should have made him a knight ^^;. I just always think of the really loud, boisterous kings from larping, heh.

Thanks so much for the votes and support!

Re: Forest Fantasy

This is classic.

Re: Forest Fantasy

if this goes to print, it will be the first shirt i buy on day 1....HANDS DOWN!

Re: Forest Fantasy

Id buy this shirt even if it were just the chick Chocobo. That's freaken adorable.

He's a Chick-a-bo! :D:D:D

Thanks so much everyone!

Re: Forest Fantasy

i can't express how brilliant you are.

Re: Forest Fantasy

Lol, are you temping for Ramyb?

I actually don't mind the lack of nose here.

Re: Forest Fantasy

Ahhhhh! YES!!! PLEASE let this print! LOVE your designs bass :D :D

I totally thought this was a Ramyb from the thumb.

I've no idea why these chibi animal designs dominate derbies so hard...maybe because the derby voters are predominantly middle-aged women? That's the only thing that would make sense.

I can honestly say that I have seen TONS of guys wearing cute animal designs that have printed on Woot. Perhaps they're just more popular than you think?

Yup. I rarely see girls wearing any Woot bunny shirts. It's often college aged guys. Most of the Woot shirts I see on girls are the more art-heavy designs. Trees. Girls love trees! Boys love bunnies? The universe is a mysterious place.

As for the design of the bunnies themselves, I was going for a simple, readable look for them without being too close to Ramy's art. Sometimes I feel a simpler character is necessary if you're trying to show a joke or concept clearly. It was my way of making the bunnies sort of general while still being cute or appealing to people. Sometimes I make my characters too cracky and it turns people off. ^^;

Re: Forest Fantasy

Love, love, love this shirt except for the shirt color kelly green. It's a tough color for most people to wear.

I hear you. Not everyone can do the green tees . This is actually the grass green though, which is easier to wear than the kelly green. That one is pretty vibrant. I think I only have one kelly green tee, from one of my first derbies!

I love the green! More green,less ashtray gray.
and as a "middle aged woman" I hardly ever wear adorable bunnies, but I will wear these!!!

I like the shirt so much more after the explanation- I thought it was all a FF thing that I didn't understand, but I am all over a east vs west RPG battle :-)

Re: Forest Fantasy

Love how quick this made it into the fog! It was up easily 24 hours after posting. Had my vote when I first saw it and will buy on day 2...when bass makes money on every shirt

Re: Forest Fantasy

Super cute characters Bassanimation! I want to pet all of them!:D

Re: Forest Fantasy

If I got this, I would have to sharpie in bon-bons on their heads. Then they would look like the bunny-moogles from Final Fantasy XII. :D

Re: Forest Fantasy

speak softly and carry a big stick. er carrot. :3

Re: Forest Fantasy

Thank you for all the comments and votes, everyone!

Re: Forest Fantasy

1st for sure. Good job, Bas!

Thanks Rads, but I think I subbed far too late for that ^^;. If there's any chance, maybe 3rd, but I was pretty late. If not, the bunnies shall role play in the forest of my hard drive forever! Huzzah!

i dunno. You shot up pretty darn quick. And from the comments, people seemed to really dig it. If it doesn't print it was definitely the derby favorite.
Tonight will tell... Best of luck!

Bunnies are Pagan-symbolic for procreation.
College guys have sex on the brain 24/7.
It all makes perfect sense, while being totally sad at the same time.

Re: Forest Fantasy

4th place? :<
Does this mean I can never purchase this awesomely adorable t shirt?

Re: Forest Fantasy

I'm so sad that this shirt got 4th...I really wanted to buy like 10 of them. Have you got it up on any other sites?
