Re: The real reason they're the primary colors

Wish this design was a winner... would have made an amazing shirt... hilarious... lmao...

Aside from winning first, second, or third, getting editors choice or honorable mention, I can't think of a more prestigious award! (There... isn't a more prestigious award is there?)

I'm grateful people like it, and deeply honored that you (and other people) have found the shirt merit worthy.

I've never gotten a best loser. Or any of those other things for that matter. Wooters hate me.

Re: School is hard

I think this is my favorite entry.
Wishing HM thoughts your way!

Re: What makes them so popular?...

Stupid cupcake with her dumb iphone. That turnip reminds me of a skeleton! This is cute. I kind of wish the placement was a little different but really, it's quite funny and cute.

Actually...it's not so much the placement as I wish there was something differentiating them a little more. Or that they were a little further apart. But honestly, I really dig it.

Nah... They don't hate ya. You're just Pre-Famous! When you're the next Ramy... I can tell everybody that I voted for ya way back when.

THEY'LL be all like, "Right, Whateva!" and then I'LL be all like "Tell 'em Striker138!" and YOU'LL be all like "Psh... who are YOU?" and I bet SOMEBODY will be all like "OH... SNAP"

... Sorry ...

I'm just lucky to be teaming up with a graphic artist in the family. Without them I'd be nothing... Certainly not a "Best Loser"

Besides... You just need the right subject and POW right-outta-tha-park!

Re: The Delinquent School Of Fish Of Horror!!!

Very cool, although somewhat frightening.

+1 to the scary fish!

Panel 2: In fear, knowing what's coming, boy grabs hold of his desk for dear life (incidentally dropping the paper in such a way that we can see the failing grade). Girl, seeing claw pass by overhead (with motion lines to show it's not done moving back yet), looks back to see where it's going.

Panel 3: Claw has grabbed boy and dragged him back out of frame so quickly as to (a) elicit symbols of pain and/or swearing and (b) cause girl to drop her pencil (complete with cartoon-figure eraser with arms) in shock and fear.

Title: Girl realizes she needs to work her tail off, or else it could be her getting dragged away next time.

MadamAtom, thank you so much. Woot can't be a total loss if there's at least one person willing to give designs a little bit of thought. You were spot on, which really makes me wonder what lives these people who couldn't understand this must lead.

Time to buy stock in helmets.

Well, I seemed to have lost my other olive shirt, but I still have high hopes for yours!

By the way, I received my Some BBQ shirt today. Looks great!

Re: Anywhere But Here

Gorgeous picture. Engaging design. GMV. I would absolutely wear this. It's also very germane to my life right now.

Re: Check Yes or No

You're on a roll. (At least I think so.) I was feeling disloyal to Anywhere But Here because I was digging this shirt so much. Then I saw you did them both. Way to go, X Tina for the World!

Bob - Glad you like the wood grain. I want to do more with that.

I don't think I've seen it anywhere either. I simply meant that it seemed like something I would see at Threadless...it has a Threadless-y vibe to it. I'm still saddened it didn't get more votes.

Re: Class Time Used Effectively

Again, thanks for the comments! Looks like there is a new contender in the Fog.. :o Even if I don't get printed, I hope to put it up on a different site later since I had so much fun with this entry. :3 So if anyone has suggestions/thoughts about where I should get it printed, or how I should do this (anything at all) all comments would be truly appreciated!!

As soon as I can get it printed, I will post the link in the next Woot Derby submission I enter (My website is under heavy construction at the moment :x).

Thank you, everyone, for your support throughout!! Regardless of the outcome tomorrow, I had fun and will be looking forward to the next derby topic... >3 tehehe

You get a big, fat "Pffffft" for that comment. Out of all the nice comments you received regarding the design, all you could do was pull out the negative about a few people (including myself) missing the reason for the claw? Lots of us liked your illustration style and the colors you used, and many stopped by to say that, so I'd say it's not a total loss just because we all didn't totally get the concept initially.

Re: Friends: The Real School Supplies

Wow that pencil sharpener has a lot of eyes!!! 0_o Crazy stuff!

I agree, it's not a total loss, which is what I said. I truly am glad that people like the illustration style, but it worries me that other people choose to write replies on the internet instead of think. Worries me in my pants.

Re: High School: The Arcade Game

I absolutely would have bought this if it hadn't been rejected. I love this movie. ARGH on incidental text!!!

Denver Airport has large paper airplanes on the ceiling. That might be the one you're thinking of.

Re: The Chemist

I have to ask...why doesn't he have any hair? Is it because he's like got like a Charlie Brown or Caillou thing going on? Or did he blow it all off?

I thought that too. Him and the kid behind him.

Aha! Thanks for the explanation: )

Re: He catches sight of himself in the mirror...

I love this one so much! I am a newly graduated/certified music teacher and this shirt really speaks to me! I wish it was higher in the votes. I guess there just isn't enough band geeks out there!

Re: Off to school

I had just commented on your marching band shirt and this is the next shirt that caught my eye and it is yours too! You have some good stuff for sure. I would totally buy this shirt in a heart beat. Very nice.

Re: That Was a Long Time Ago

I hope this'll be printed elsewhere. love it.

AAWWWHHHHH.....

I wish this one would print. Then I could buy it (and hope to get it to wear in time for Halloween!)

can someone explain the whole incidental text thing? i'm sorry but this site often looks as though they reject anything that gets brought to their attention regardless or not if there's a legitimate concern.

Re: That Was a Long Time Ago

Your the man TG!!
I love it.

Incidental text is text that doesn't "make" the design. That is, you could lose the text and it would still make sense. In this case, the whole design is BASED on the text - the numbers 6, 7 and 9.

As an example of incidental text, consider a bottle of glue. Now you wouldn't need to have the words "glue" on the bottle and it would still make sense, so that text would be incidental.
