I...I don't know if there is anything more amazing than a steampunk octopus. o_O

A steampunk octopus made out of one line?

Re: Octavius

Looks great but too bad it's probably going to be rejected. There's a lot of end lines in this picture. It's not really one line. :c

It only has one beginning and ending. Every "spike" has a negative "bump" or "spike" behind it, similar to the derby winners in the last "one line" derby. If Travis wants to see them up close to verify, I can provide the base file.

Haha you're right. I was viewing it on my tablet. Those tiny widdle notches weren't big enough to see. Disregard, etc.

I thought the lines had to all be 3/8" wide. Am I mistaken? Great piece of work by the way. Nice design.

p.s. nevermind. I didn't realize the rules had changed from yesterday.

How is this not pop culture?

Steampunk is a style, not pop culture, I would think.

How is it?

I love this design.

Re: Octavius

The design is pretty impressive, but he only has seven legs.

The eighth one is obscured by his head, Christian...

Re: Octavius

fun

I don't mean to nitpick or insult the artist, but are the sharp lines around the clock and those that look similar, counted as the same line? Those seem to me like retracing the line or adding new lines. I like the shirt but it doesn't seem to comply with the one line rule.

No insult taken - see my comment from Aug 25, 2012 12:41 AM, above.

Everywhere there is a "spike" or "sharp point", there is (on the other side of the line, right behind the "spike") a "negative spike" or "bump". I realize the anti-aliasing may blur it a little, but if you look closely at each spike, you should be able to see the bump behind it. This keeps it from 'retracing' itself...

Re: Octavius

why didn't this one get into the 2nd change derby. I really wanted one of these. It is soooo steampunk.
