Re: El Prospector Cansado

He was soooo close!!!

Re: El Prospector Cansado

tgentry, are those lines gray or light blue or something else entirely? My monitor isn't helping me out much with this. *giggles* tee-hees!! (Okay, this particular filter change is wild. Funny! Def. better than "jejeje.")

I like this. Not much of an earth tones wearer, myself, but I do like this. GMV! I know someone who would just love this on a shirt.

Re: El Prospector Cansado

Very well done as always.

Yeah it's kind of a bummer but in a way it's also a victory of self control. It's like gambling, there's always people that think "just one more hand and I'll make it all up". I takes a lot of will power to walk away.

It's an earthy blue.

Re: El Prospector Cansado

The man! Tgent, you draw real purdy, like.

Seriously, i love how you can draw and be creative at the same time... somewhat of a rarity on shirt.woot.

Re: El Prospector Cansado

Very nice work.

Re: El Prospector Cansado

Thanks very much Derek! This is actually very different stuff than what I do on a daily basis. It's been a real challenge to adjust to t-shirt compatible drawings from my usual style.

doing a hell of a job of it

This will be the first derby shirt I'll buy (assuming it stays where it is). Keep voting, people!

Thanks! I love that blue on brown. Reminds me of "Decomposition's" colors.

Re: El Prospector Cansado

I love this shirt, but oh my that is sad. The little slumped prospector

Re: El Prospector Cansado

Yay! Derby buddies!

CRUSH: Okay, first: find your exit buddy!
CRUSH:Do you have your exit buddy?
DORY: Yes!
CRUSH: Okay, Squirt here will now give you a rundown of proper exiting technique!
SQUIRT: Good afternoon, we're gonna have a great jump today! Okay, crank a hard cutback as you hit
the wall! There's a screaming bottom turn, so watch out! Remember: rip it, roll it and
punch it!

Go go go!

Yeah, Teej, I've seen what you do "f'realz" and it's definitely a departure. Some of the realistic character design stuff you do is amazing.

I mean, I can chop with some of the best, and I can sketch well given enough time, but to put thought and creativity and skill together in a short amount of time is something I might never accomplish.

My hat, pretty much as always, goes off to you, sir.

Re: El Prospector Cansado

Very nice. Reminds me a lot of Gold Rush! on Threadless.

AlvinPing wrote:Very nice. Reminds me a lot of Gold Rush! on Threadless.

Wow, that one's sweet. I think it's pretty different thematically and stylewise, but I was originally thinking about adding some random stuff in the ground. Glad I shyed away from that after seeing that piece. Mine could be the "Four Months Later" sequel I guess.

wow, very nice, kinda sad too. nice colors, got a lot of brown shirts though.

Re: El Prospector Cansado

great concept, right on the theme.

Thanks! I see you have a thing for gray. Just so you're aware, browns are the new grays in 2008. Unless your British, in which case browns are the new greys in 2008.

Re: El Prospector Cansado

I love that you were able to pull off the design without the use of text. You did a great job on this one.

And no wings either! Are you sure you're in the right contest, Tgentry? ;)

Re: El Prospector Cansado

that just looks depressing

Is this going to be 3 in a row for you?? good job :-)

AlvinPing wrote:Is this going to be 3 in a row for you?? good job :-)

Ha, thanks Alvin. No, I actually struck out in the graffiti derby. And it's going to be really tough competition this week. Sad, grizzly old prospectors aren't an easy sell, ya know?

tgentry wrote:Sad, grizzly old prospectors aren't an easy sell, ya know?

I just took a good look at your sad, grizzly old prospector. How the hell did you manage to draw him so depressed looking! you can't even see his face!

It's all in the sloped spine. Body language can do wonders.

Re: El Prospector Cansado

I love this shirt! :3 I haven't bought a derby shirt in a looong looooong time, but I would very much buy this right now...gimme.

Re: El Prospector Cansado

El Prospector Cansado ROCKS!! (or is it MINES rocks!!)

Re: El Prospector Cansado

I hope this wins *giggles* tee-hees!

Re: El Prospector Cansado

ok, the detail of the snuffed-out fire sold me.
BTW I almost didn't vote on it, because your thumbnail size really doesn't do justice to the full image, but I eventually looked.

Wow, this shirt says so much with so little. I really like it, and it might be my first derby shirt.

Re: El Prospector Cansado

I just bought two of your octopus shirt and I will buy at least one of these. I feel like there should be a tgentry punch card. Buy 5 shirts and get the 6th free.

Yeah, your weird broken finger hand looks like a day at Disneyland.

It's that derby buddy tether!

Your ass better stay in the fog too and then be the first shirt to appear with that ugly trophy and a one in it. I want this shirt!

There are amazingly strong pathos in this design. I hope it wins, definitely my favorite of the derbie.

Thanks for the support!

That's pretty funny. vacuums for him.

can't wait to buy this shirt..

Re: El Prospector Cansado

Looks like I'll be trying to scrounge up $10 for this one... it's my favorite shirt since "It Could Have Been A Giant"

Re: El Prospector Cansado

great idea, i dig it

Re: El Prospector Cansado

Another shirt with a great layout!

Re: El Prospector Cansado

Si se puede!

Re: El Prospector Cansado

Please Vote! The Prospector is soon to get steam rolled by the Love is Dead/Know When to Fold back and forth. Hasn't he seen enough hardship?!?

Re: El Prospector Cansado

Love this shirt. I am a pre-pharm student, so I think it's a great motivator on many levels.

BUT, biggest concern: will the bwaccas foreshorten the mineshaft?

details...details....hope it wins!!

Re: El Prospector Cansado

This is the only one that deserves to be in the Top 4

Re: El Prospector Cansado

how do i vote for this one?

DanStover wrote:how do i vote for this one?

Yes. Please vote. But, you have to have purchased something on one of the woot sites (sellout.woot, shirt.woot, woot, or wine.woot) in order to place a vote. Once you've bought something, you can vote on all the derby entries that you like.

Re: El Prospector Cansado

gorgeous.

very well done.
and clever.

kudos.

Re: El Prospector Cansado

I love the artwork in this... the slumped shoulders, the put out fire, the gold glittering at the bottom... tgentry, you're amazing

*giggles* backed

Re: El Prospector Cansado

Thanks again for all the really nice comments.

My friends that used to say "Another woot shirt, eh?" have started to say "another tgentry shirt, eh?"

Keep 'em comin!

Re: El Prospector Cansado

Awsome GMV

Re: El Prospector Cansado

This would be tremendously more awesome if woot could do gold foil accents!

Good Luck!!!!

renebee73 wrote:Good Luck!!!!

I'm pretty unhappy. I wanted this shirt. This would have been my first woot, so I can't vote, but I would have voted for this one.

Re: El Prospector Cansado

im pretty disappointed. i was really looking forward to getting this one

Thanks. Keep it in mind next time the Second Chance derby comes around. Maybe this summer?...
