They've used glow in the dark ink on a daily shirt before, but haven't allowed it in the derby yet. I wish they would!

Thanks Mia! be happy I didn't go with the colors I slapped into it for a screenshot last night. It was only 1/2 done and atrocious. I put it on a grass shirt, with a blue dragon and mauve comb and tail. I didn't change the wings to their color until near the end. the wings were originally white XP

Re: Step Three: Profits! (chalkboard design)

Oh, poo. I would have liked this shirt, too...

That's EXACTLY what I was trying to illustrate here. Oh well, obviously it wasn't clear to the rejectorator either and it wasn't exactly burning up the hot list anyway.
C'est la vie.

In my own mind there's a definite story there, but I'm still learning how to get that kind of story into a single t-shirt design so that, you know. other people actually get it.

Netshark, thanks and I was going for a kind of biting-off-more-than-you-can-chew thing, which is greed to me, and something I see in a couple other designs around the contest too. If it gets rejected by the woot mods I won't be devastated though.

Ah ok I get it now. Rather than going for the easy fly, the frog went for the spider. Hopefully it should be fine.

Re: Greedy Weed

you gonna change it up and resub? love to see it come back.

JadenKale wrote:It's a beautiful design and I love the artistic style of the design, so please don't feel that I just hate your design or anything. I feel the heart balloon aspect is a little off for a greed theme. I would think that the design invokes more of a 'Hope' response rather than 'Greed'. I believe that's because it's so light and relaxed in design. Greed is a deadly sin, and as that's a negative trait, the design is just a bit too positive to pull it off for me.

But I will say, that despite all of my comparison to the theme, I love the piece on its own. You executed your design beautifully and it's very pretty.

Thank you so much, Jaden! I have to say, I've been a big fan of all of your designs. And so this is all a tremendous compliment.

To answer your comment, it was designed as a light-hearted take on the theme-- slike it's a harmless greed (if there is such a thing); the only potential harm is if she lets go of the other balloons, I suppose.

In any event, thank you so much for commenting. And I love your dragon, btw! GMV.

Re: My Candy!

The ultimate display of greed. Attaining at other's expense! Better pic at bottom of page.

Light-hearted is alright with me. I really like this.

This is totally awesome, but do you think the tickets could be another color?. The thumbnail image looks like a kid with the skin peeled off his face.

Re: MINE!

I really like the style, the single color makes it look like a print from an old map or something.

Re: Dude, look what I found (Resub)

Had too resub. I missed filling in a spot when i changed from one brown to another and I changed the knife to blue so it is easier to see... hope you all like it!

Thanks!

Re: Chillaxin

What? I saw greed all over this shirt! The bird in the middle is hogging almost the entire line. Taking way more than he needs at the expense of the other birds. Isn't that the definition of greedy?

Re: The Moons of Saturn

Man the hammer is coming down hard today! Again, Saturn is hogging all the moons and left earth with only one... how is that not greedy?

Re: Dude, look what I found (Resub)

hehe

wasn't a fan of this one till i saw the shirt comp.
the placement and the little ripples around the top of the air hose totally make this one.
the illustration is very well done as well.

got my vote now. im glad you resube, otherwise i never would have seen it and clicked on it.

Re: In Pursuit of the Dollar

Sweet design, I'll take three.

Re: Dude, look what I found (Resub)

Heh, I really like this one - good job!

obviously I agree with your exact points. Didn't think I needed to spell it out for everyone...

Re: MINE!

Really nice! I love the round over all shape! very clever and really well executed! This is one of the rare times where I say to myself I could see me wearing that shirt. If i have the money, I'll buy one WHEN it wins!

Re: Dude, look what I found (Resub)

One of the best so far!

Re: Peek-a-I kn haz sadness? (resubmission)

Thanks everyone who supported my shirt design ~ <3 I've resubmitted and fixed the design detail so it matches the actual shirt. I just thought it was cute (and a little sad) that the mean old greedy snake, even after having mr. elephant all to himself, would still be greedy enough to want to swallow that poor little mouse. Maybe he'll win the staring contest...

Re: No Bananas For You

I wish you would have taken a little longer and made the bananas unique with the correct lighting. The bananas kind of make a jumbled mess to me... but thats just me thinking out loud. I do like the expressions.

bonipoof wrote:This is great. I love the expressions on their faces; you can really say a lot with a pair of eyes and a mouth...

Thanks a lot, It turned out pretty well... i fear i may have shot myself in the foot with the olive green shirt, but it looked best on it to me. we'll see!

I really like this but I already voted on a shirt and it doesn't seem to let me vote for another shirt. You can only vote once for a shirt design right?

Yeah definitely gluttony. Unless the snake is being greedy by not sharing the horse with other snakes?

Boas eat elephants, not horses. Science fact. ;)

Re: No Bananas For You

Thanks for all of the support so far. 1st time anywhere near the fog.

Very nice, I like it. Got my vote.

On the flip side, I am surprised no one bitched about the creme color, yet.

Holy dead weasels! I love it!

Re: Dude, look what I found (Resub)

Yes! Good one!!

Re: Mine, Mine, Mine... part 2

Oh... I NEED this one!

Re: u cant has deez

What really makes this shirt for me is the little ant sneaking away on the bottom right. Love it!

Re: Anyone for Tennis?

Dude, fix the box issue and I would totally buy that. Hands down!

Re: Eat until nothings left

Wow, if "The Sins" was on the back, that would make it so much better. But already, nice shirt!

Keyouse wrote:Dude, fix the box issue and I would totally buy that. Hands down!

yeah, I am not sure about how to do the box thing on the shirt.
help?

THANKS for the compliment though!
this is my first ever entry

fairly unimpressive entries so far, but this made me laugh. that is one bad squirrel!
