Re: Gas is up and my paycheck is gone.

That's pretty awesome. I hope it doesn't get rejected because it contains text. Perhaps if you had the fuel icon and an icon for a wallet instead.

Can't afford to fill up the tank anymore. Oil companies profits are at record levels, yet the price at the pump keeps going up. Greed at its finest.

Remember "Animal Farm"?

Well, some T-shirts are more equal than others.



The other comment I would like to make: it's cute, but unlike the Waterhorse knock off, it's so extremely well executed!!!

gmv, fo sho.

Where to wear: the bank when asking for a loan
Where not to wear: Honeybaked Ham store asking for a spiral cut on rye with honey mustard.

This unlikely band of (mostly) furry woodland creatures have come together to rid the Middle-Arbor of the legendary plastic happy face ring, injection molded by Sourpuss in the land of Taiwandor. Seventy thousand or so rings were cast, but it was Sourpuss’s greed for power that lead him to cast the one ring -- one ring to rule them all. The ring bearer, a lowly chimpmunk, has been charged with destroying the ring in the molten polymers whence it came.

Ok, a parody -- beyond greed for money is the desire (greed) for power, even absolute power, as is the main theme of LotR, and it was a movie poster of the same which inspired this design.


Yeah?

YEAH!

I will probably resubmitt it. Go me for not reading the fine print.

Re: The Tycoon of ICE

Maybe those open pit mining penguins have medical benefits, life insurance benefits, 401k and long term disability benefits. As well as collective bargaining.

He just might be a rich, entrepreneurial penguin instead of a greedy robber-baron penguin.

I mean, this is the 00's. And those diamonds might be moissanite. You never know. Just because el jefe doesn't dress like Bill Gates or other latter day fortune 100 guys, doesn't mean he's a greedy guy. He just has sartorial exuberance.

Re: Oooo Shiney!

Like it a lot...to me it looks very Dr. Seuss-ian. Are you influenced by him?

Re: Feed Me!

It is greed, wanting more, eating an open mouth...

Re: Gas is up and my paycheck is gone.

They won't be able to print it in any case. They can't do gradients.

SamoaJoe wrote:As I've said 3 times now, only to have all 3 deleted, in my opinion this is an ugly shirt. I don't like the colors, don't like the theme, and don't believe it's something I'd wear without feeling really out of place. It's a perfect shirt for children, but not for any self-respecting adult IMO.

Most self-respecting adults don't wear tee shirts. Don't be angry, just hold out for that occasional winning shirt you do like, no matter how sparse they are. You don't want to spend $10 on a tee shirt every day anyway.

Best design I've seen in a long time. Very creative take on the theme. I really hope this makes it into the fog.

Re: greedy mouse

This looks great, artulo. I like the skeleton addition and the olive. Too bad it isn't doing better.

it's definitely ON topic. more than some others in the derby

Re: There can be only one

Why would Highlander Corn want to behead all the other immortal 'corns? For their POWER, that's why!! This design is the essense of greed to me. Awesome, well done!

I'd buy it.

That vacuums it got rejected. Looks like I wont be buying a shirt this round.

Re: The Tycoon of ICE

why are flying penguins banned??

Re: Fool's Paradise

Nice! got my vote.

Re: Lemonade ain't cheap here v3!

Third try! Swapped out blue shirt for green to get it down to 6 colors. Also added a stack of bills next to the aspiring con artist.

redghia69 wrote:Yeah, took a few tries, but then started to work -- I'm still learning. Rodentia seemed to fit the bill on this one. It's been 4 weeks since I drew anything furry, so you can't peg me for rodents only :-). And an owl seemed right for Gandalf. Thanks for the comment!

oh, yeah... I never said rodents only... just the several designs among many others. Bummer it got rejected.

So, did the other entry 11238, by Andy47240, use a clip art monkey, too?

Re: There can be only one

it's becoming overtly obvious that Joel (or whoever does the rejections) doesn't read the "justify the existence of your shirt" part of submissions. It explained how it had to with greed, as was explained by several posters above...

I'm beginning to wonder why I keep trying this thing... the rejections get really discouraging.

Re: Arborial Avarice

I think it's enough to avoid rejection and it clearly demonstrates greed. I mean, c'mon for seriously, this shirt is awesome.

Re: Pretty!

inspired by the spring-a-tron shirt?

I did no such thing! (heh)

Huh? I'm new here...not familiar with that shirt. This was actually just something I whipped out after my initial idea got REJECTED! -Rich

I think that you should be happy that you can now enter this in a later derby where it will be more appropriate (and have better submission time) without making changes.

You can do that? I thought resubs were killed immediately.

Re: MINE!

Well, let me just prepare myself to buy another shirt from TG. =] I have no idea how you do this week after week.. PLEASE keep it up otherwise I'll have to walk around naked all the time, *giggles*.

Not bad at all. Once you get rid of that pesky jpeg compression on the red colors, this would be a great holiday shirt. I'm kind of sad you decided to forgo a controversial design this derby. GMV, and here's hoping you continue to put that wit to good use in these derbies.

sailstud25 wrote:oh, yeah... I never said rodents only... just the several designs among many others. Bummer it got rejected.

Yeah, bummer. I thought a quest against greed could work, but figured rejection was a possibility. An entry this late was more about the process anyhow. Next entry should be better for it. I just wish I knew when it was rejected and how well it was doing at the time....

Yup, gotcha. Do I always say what people usually say? I hope not, but it's certainly a possibility. First time submitting here today, I guess that's pretty new. Not worried about a thing, except my taxes.

HOLY .... I just checked out that shirt! Weird. There just ain't an original thought out here anymore. *sigh*...at least my guy had hair.

Re: May I have Some more?

another penguin? seriously what is it people on shirt.woot and penguins? its way too overrated. im sick of people voting for all penguin or cat related designs.

Re: World Hunger

I like your idea, and I totally agree on it. However, I personally think that egocentric/ethnocentric would be a better word than greed to describe it. I wonder how many people are gonna bash my comment here....
