the level of distortion in "Aimier" is internally consistent; the distortion in ramy's entry here is not. basic cartooning 101.

Thanks, guys! I'm glad you like it!

Re: Late for school

easly my favorite artist on the site!

Re: Cell Division

Well, incidental text or not, I think this is another one you'll have to explain to everyone, since they won't know the name of it. Did anyone get it within seconds, without looking at the title? I didn't.

Re: Tree of Knowledge

This is amazing! +1

Re: An Apple for Teacher

First truffleshuffle I've liked... that little witch just made me laugh out loud... And the text makes it funnier, without being essential, which is pretty smart.

Re: On the Way to School

What I always love about your designs and characters are their expressions. Very personable (if that makes sense?) Love it! +1

Re: The Pythongorean Theorem

Digging the chalk style. :D Nice!

Re: stay in school

Never disappointed when I see your stuff!

Re: School for Cats

This = 100% true

Re: Substitute Teacher

i sink it is a pointer, not a light saber... see the joints, like one of those expandable metal pointers?

There's one sitting on the bench, two up in the trees, and one on the sign.

Or Jedis or even small kids since he is a substitute. But I agree, it feels like it is missing something. Sure he has an apple and a chalkboard, but it doesn't scream school to me.

Re: Stationery Evolution

I love the idea The only thing I would say is it's hard to tell it's a slate board,maybe because the chalk is to large?

ahhhhhahahahaha! GMV!

Re: You shall not pass (the 5th grade)

Poor little demon, just before entering school property, he realizes the truth. That he -SHALL-NOT-PASS, the 5th grade.

6 colors (+ halftone lines) on Royal Blue

Other than that, looks amazing, love what you did with the colors!

Yeah, or maybe a part of the bus missing where the fish who are trying to catch the bus should go.

Still pretty though.

Re: School for Cats

Glad to see you made it in the fog! And that you went with the blue

Re: An Apple for Teacher

I think that you should change the dress to make her look more like Snow White -- it's pretty much only the witch and the name on the blackboard that makes her Snow White right now. I think the shirt might look better in a different color, too. Cranberry, maybe?

Re: Book on Tape Worm

Tape worm, funny!

OMGOMGOMGPONIESOMG PONIES! that this got rejected while other copyrighted characters get a 'by'. Seems that the Rejectanator is a bit biased. I'd totally by this shirt. A couple weeks back a Futurama shirt, which broke the rules of that week's woot contest won, despite many, many people voicing that it violated both rules.

Double standards much?

tgentry wrote:The numbers themselves are pretty meaningless as far as message goes and seem to fit with my statement in the pre-derby thread about text on a chalkboard. We don't want to outlaw formulas and such on a chalkboard if they're needed to, as an example, place the scene at a math class. A design might actually rely on that text to give it some context. A guy doing math at a chalkboard doesn't make sense unless there's actual math on the chalkboard. As long as that text isn't providing a message beyond providing some context, we're not worried about it. The numbers here are in that category.

The single thing that did give us pause and took a lot of consideration was the long division symbol, which actually is supplying quite a bit of the message to the design beyond just random math on a chalkboard providing context. Is it or isn't it incidental text? If we use the usual yardstick for "what constitutes text" questions in the derby, it's not even text at all as it doesn't appear on our keyboard. That's basically the tipping point in favor of leaving it in. If it were something as simple as a % instead of the long division symbol it might be a different story, but even then it might still fit under context over message.

Given the pre-derby allowance of generic formulas and such that might be required for context, the fact that the one thing that goes beyond that is arguably not considered text by our usual standards, and the general feeling on our end that we're not looking at a slogan or speech bubble joke we're allowing it. Hope this helps explain our reasoning and stem some of the flame war that will inevitably occur for the next week.

I disagree but it's not worth arguing. I think the cell looks like a pickle, so this isn't something I'd vote for anyway. I like the Ramy's Vader shirt. I'll vote for that one.

Re: Modern Day Alphabet

Re: Dog - Gone - School

Thank you for viewing. Please Vote.

Re: Honor Rollers

I like your chicken bus. That sounds like a pick-up line but it's totally not.

Re: Late for school

'A' grade work Spiritgreen. You can have a smiley stamp and some fish food for your little friends.

Re: Tree of Knowledge

I just keep seeing that trunk like a traced hand... that's not a criticism... I like it... just can't unsee it.

Re: Aerodynamics

This says a lot with a little walmazan. I'd definitely give it more than an 'F'.

And that just sold me even more that I must have this shirt! I loved it as just Cell Division, but throw in a Douglas Adams reference and I can't say no. :D

Re: teacher talks funny

Uhhh...Can anyone explain this to me? I feel like I'm missing something.
