Shirt.Woot

Re: Pointillizard

looks beautiful!
will it be a backprint ? would make it much more awesome to my mind.

Re: to the sun

Not only probably the best artwork in this derby, but one of the few (only?) shirts that made a serious attempt to address the artistic and political history of Australia.

When studying the Dreaming, I similarly felt a sense of tragedy upon learning that the geography European immigrants seem so intent on selling to the highest bidder is considered a literal avatar of the spirituality of the Aboriginal Australians.

Good to see more shirts making an adult statement.

I'd Want It.

the illustration is really sharp and interesting, I just can't tell what's going on.

I agree Xazy, I just can't figure this one out. |3

Southeast Asia? Oh dear God - is that why they're yellow?

csl312 wrote:I'll second that. Ramyb, when you do non-cutsy animal designs they are almost always great. However I also understand this is a money making venture, and the woot audience seems to crave more cartoon animals. If more people would buy more artistic stuff, then these type of designs would probably be more common.

Gotta agree here. This one is rising to the Fog pretty fast, or so I can see... It's a nice design. :D
I think this and the Darth Vader one are proof that your non-cartoon animal shirts can be pretty successful.

I think they ARE dingoes! The dog that isn't the true Aussie is the Australian Shepherd. ;)

Re: Rainbow Serpent

Thanks for the votes and comments so far everyone!

I'm not a real big on of white tees myself, but after trying this design on a few colors, ended up liking it on white the best; so I went with it.

I have it ready on another color though, and may just sub it and see which does better.

Re: Rainbow Serpent (On Brown)

On a different shirt color this time for all those opposed to the white t-shirt. I like it on this color too, but still give a slight edge to white. I'm curious to see which does better.

Re: Pointillizard

Very nice

I have to admit I completely missed that the foot's coloring was missed in the transfer from the Illustrator file to the Photoshop presentation file. I had unlocked all art, but that small color area was on a locked layer and got missed. Here is a screenshot from the separated file sent to woot:



I apologize for the confusion and really really thank everyone for the great comments!!!

In that case, it's got my vote. Definitely buying if it prints.

Love it, but needs more obvious winter/migratory reference imo.

Re: Pointillizard

Hey thanks for the kudos everyone

I think that it would be nice printed on the back too but Woot doesn't take those kinds of requests for the derby...as far as I know.

Re: Not An Aussie

oh no, not a tail!!!!

Then you haven't seen in the news that in the past year Oz has suffered record flooding and devistating wild fires.

Love the design by the way!

Re: Drop Bears

+1 for the doe-eyed decoy.
+10 for the lunging attacker.
+ a kajillion for the eye-gouger!

GMV!

Re: Drop Bears

cool design, but who wears yellow? No one. I would re-sub on a different shirt color

What about it exactly did you find hilarious?

Re: K.O.ala-ed

Koala Rocket Punch! I love it!

Re: Afrilled of a little rain?

Very whimsical, I heartily approve. Also, frilled lizard = win (especially in the face of a koala onslaught, even if I do like some of the koala designs).

Re: Drop Bears

This shirt is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of the few Australians I've met, most of them warned me of the drop bears. I foolishly didn't listen and my family was devoured on a trip through Victoria. It was only the likes of Crocodile Dundee that saved me... er... that might have just been a dream I was having once.

Shirt.what is about as close as you'll get.

As for the design, it's cute. Not my style, but I know plenty of people who would jump all over this.

Looks like a lion and a grey unicorn....

Re: Marsupial in my pocket

cute·i·li·cious

Ditto.

Re: Danger down under

Is it just me, or does that second kangaroo look like its elbows bend the wrong way?

Re: Aviator Aussie

In full size the outline is not at all as heavy as it appears here.

Re: Moonlit Ayers Rock -Resub.

I chose to resubmit this entry to improve the presentation of the design. Thanks for looking.

Agreed! I had to take a step back for a second to regain my footing.

Re: Buried Treasure

This is stunning - great work!

Lerasi wrote:oh no, not a tail!!!!

I know, I know! I debated for a long time whether or not to crop the tail. I finally ended up leaving it there because it just didn't look right in the illustration without it. Looks a lot less funny in photographs, or maybe if it had been from a different angle.

Congrats, you're the first to notice! I wondered when that was going to come up. ;) This poor Aussie wouldn't win in any doggy shows...

Re: Kookabura

Do you have a higher-quality version of this image to upload? Tis very fuzzy.

My goal for my time on Woot is to one day have a design that surpasses one of yours in votes, Ramy. PREPARE YOURSELF!! *Eyes aflame*

Heh. Just kidding. Very pretty design. I'm jealous of the talent of you and many of the artists on here. Someday, with practice and time I hope to be as good. ^__^

Re: Aussie Spider

Love the colors; hate the creature as it would give me nightmares.

Re: to the sun

Thanks for all the comments, guys!

Re: Bang-a-roo!

great job Lucky!

Re: Shrimp on the Barbie

pop culture reference?

Re: Rainbow Serpent

This looks amazing. I think it gets washed out on the brown.

Aw. Thank you. Regards to the uploading, maybe I can help? What program are you using to make the jpg?

Re: Kookaburra In The Old Gum Tree v2.0

had complaints on the coloring so resubbed on grey with a bit darker colors. I hope this works better. If you want to compare the link in my signature for the orginal is still available.
