Shirt.Woot

dibs on puckering monkeys and penguins and zombies and sasquatches!!

Uh oh... zombie-wildlife-ninjas... monkey-zombies... unicorn-eating-zombie-monkeys...

Let's see how many Ligers show up.

nice topic.

Ligers are real! Now a flying Liger could be a way to go.

The shirt gods have blessed us all with what will be the kookiest shirt contest ever!
Does American aperrel have a purple shirt?

I'd be willing to put money on the likelihood of rampant livetrace abuse for this coming derby. Seems like it could be fun one though (assuming I come up with a legitimate idea) .

For those in need of ideas, check out wikipedia's massive list of cryptids.

What is livetrace? I'm using v5.5 of Photoshop.

What a great derby topic to get duneboo back. I predicting a duneboo sweep of the fog.

Livetrace is a really cool function built into Illustrator CS2 and forward that essentially vectorizes photos for you. You can set the number of colors, accuracy, etc. The effect is similar to posterizing an image in photoshop. Previous to CS2, it was a separate program called Adobe Streamline.

I mentioned it because what with the contest being hybrid animal type things, I can image we'll be seeing a lot of heads of one thing pasted onto bodies of another thing. Livetrace facilitates that sort of thing with minimal effort on the part of the designer.

Where can i get a list of what American Apparrel shirt colors woot accepts for designs?

Thought I would quote a dragon.

I think that we will be suprised by the veriety of entries this week.

Check this thread for a template containing the available shirt colors. The print-ready file should be no larger than 16" x 20" and should be 300 dpi. This template is basically for the 600x600 pixel shirt comp image.

DRAGONS ARE REAL MAN

Does this mean we can get SeaChimp for $10 again

I'm considering passing on doing a zombie this time. I'm also considering no longer making a zombie design as my first design from now on. I think I could have done better in this last derby with a different design, I just didn't have time for more than one. And the one I did only got 100 votes. If I ever place in the top three, I'll go back to making zombies my first design.

You realize this will be a huge letdown to a lot of people. Just because we wouldn't wear a zombie shirt doesn't mean we don't enjoy seeing your designs. But alas, the point is to win over the majority, not just please the few followers you've gained. ; )

Damn, I've already sold a ton of Spider-Pig shirts.

Well it's a semi-cryptozoology shirt. Can't use it again.

Damn. I had my votin' finger all ready for a zombie unicorn. Now I'll have to wait for a puckering harpy or something.

ahhhh ;-)

Spider Pig is one of those super incredibly original ideas anyway.

As the name implies, I'd love a bucket full of dragon entries.. ok, maybe not zombie dragons.

epic lulz!, oh, I know, I was just being "that guy."

I tend to do that a lot

edit: decided not to be an a-hole.

The only way this theme could be better is if the top 7 were printed.

Also, if I was the entire top 7
