Shirt.Woot

Re: Blowing Away

Wow, this must have taken a long time to do. cool.

Re: As the wind blows

Woah that is some smooth line work. It's pushing the boundaries of the rules for this derby I'm excited to see how they handle this.

I agree ... certain Derby submitters have a following here, and they become contenders regardless of what they submit. Cho and TGentry come to mind.

Don't get me wrong, I think they're both immensely talented, but I think if someone who was an unknown submitted either of the designs they submitted this week it would get lost in the shuffle.

I have at least 3 or 4 creme shirts; I love them. Don't speak for me!

Although, I am desperate for an olive one, I have 0 of those. ; ;

I thought i'd give this design a little introduction. I agree with most of you in that this concept has been done to death, however I felt I could bring some distinction by using a more retro steam engine, and highlighting the fact that even with technology - Orville Bogglesworth (the pilot penguin) cannot take off from the ground. For those who are angry at this idea, I can definitely understand why. Sorry to those who do feel this way [in advance], and I hope you will take a look at my other entries now, and what I will be submitting throughout today and tomorrow. Thank you for reading.

I'd like a lil more explanation on the design, Cho. I am pretty sure that u deliberately fitted the burner on the pilot penguin up side down (looking at how the burner is blowing steam from its top), no? Is that the reason the penguin is not able to fly? If yes, then wouldn't the other penguin have to feed coal into the bottom part of the burner?? I'm not sure if the poor penguin would be able to do so. Or maybe there's something I'm missing?

I actually like this version more than the last ...

As I stated in the other thread, I think he has a point.

I firmly believe if an unknown submitted any of the designs he submitted this week, they would get lost in the shuffle, yet all three of his are in the fog.

Cho is more talented than I could ever wish to be, so don't think I'm flaming him, I'm just stating an opinion ...

Re: RoboRaptor (silver)

Yay, I was hoping you'd go for the silver look, now who do we contact about printing this with metallic ink? GMV

I hear you, i agree as well. I like the earth tones, we aslo dont get enough designs on olive which is a really nice AA color when seen in person.

I think if a shirt design is good, it will win no matter who it is.

See: Zenne and Redghia.
(pretty sure Zenne is an unknown, and I knew redghia was pretty new to submitting when lemmings won.. not only won DOMINATED the derby for a few days as a late submit)

Re: Why Can't I Fly, Friend?

Isn't this the same character as

Re: penguins last dream (resub)

I don't think the same artist either...

PURE GENIUS !!!

Wish I could... if this gets no love here, definitely going DBH silver...

Re: Fireflies

m4dcow this is one of the best derby entries so far, in my opinion. Very nice, I really like the modern/robotechno feel you've given this shirt.

I hope to see more pieces like this, and less cartoony cute illustrations. Variety is the spice of life

Re: Cool Sophistication

Very distinguished for a carnivorous creature. Do you think he's just faking it?

Re: Spring Rebirth

sweet baby jesus, how do you do this so quickly?

yep yep! I like that you went with the clean line version but I would have loved to have seen him the way you draw him IRL. Would have given him an organic feel, even if it's just a smiley

Re: Angel

Great shirt!

I told you I'd vote if you moved the placement. You kept your end of the bargain, and so did I.

Re: Cool Sophistication

Jolly good, what what! Tally ho!

Re: Space Bunneh!

LOVE IT!

This is THE BEST shirt EVER posted - PERIOD. Forget all that cutesie sh*t.

Amazingly impressive as always! Nice work!

Re: Get Lucky

I can kind of see that all the dice are visibly showing sevens, but those numbers are always on opposite sides...

HAHAHA @ PROCRASTINATION

Awesome job Zenne. I was wondering what you were going to come up with this week!

Do you really care?

Re: Cool Sophistication

YES!

Re: Poppies grow wild in Australia

Conveniently, this matches my poppy-coloured nail polish I bought yesterday. I guess I just like orange-y red, and I hope you do, too.

Perhaps the strength of the design outweighs the cream.

I have 3 cream shirt.woots and can honestly say that the color looks fine in person. (Breakfast Topo, Pirate Penguin, and Comparative Diagram)

Stop hatin'

KENPARS0NS wrote:Cool shirt! Should be higher ranked...

Thanks.

I love this simple design. I was worried by the thumbnail of it because I was afraid it was going to have cut off edges, but I see that you phased out the lines very well, keeping the image contained but not limited. I'd definitely buy it and recommend it to my friends.

Poor guy must have been up all night.

Re: Climbing vine

I love the art and hate the colour.

Re: Cool Sophistication

Excellent!

This is brilliant I love that the rover is up on a cinder block.

Re: grow

I really like this design, and the color scheme. I'm glad the lines ended in a way that contained the design, but didn't make it feel cut off or limited.
