Shirt.Woot

Re: Griffinia

Looks so shiny!

Re: Mech-Zikko

Isn't this one just a little too close to the "no real countries" rule?

Re: Candy Country

The latin word is "sweet", yes?

Hooray for French helping me to recognize stuff!

Huzzah for work geekery!

sometimes I feel the same way, but there's a culture you have to pay attention to on woot, and that's the cute, niche-y shirt. Just look at the shirts that get close to the top. They generally have some computer/game reference or odd cute thing about them. If you feel like you're not having fun with the derby go over to designbyhumans.com and you can make what you want and the options are a lot more diverse. But unlike woot, there's a submission check to see if it's good enough. That's where I do my best work anyway.

You're right. That's not fair. Edited for fairness

Of course no one wins a derby doing something like that, cause I doubt anyone has 500+ accounts laying around. All I'm saying is it would be nice to break 100 or 200 votes. That would be encouraging. But when my designs, which have all been fairly clever and original (not to sound like I'm full of myself) disappear into the nether regions, its pretty discouraging.

Re: Fantasma: Land of Dreams

It looks amazing. Fantasy is my favourite genre as well.

Re: Kingdom in my Head

Pretty slick. Lots of detail, yet still managed to stay in the color limit! Pretty cool when you can show that kind of diversity with only six colors

I'll be #9 then.

Re: Kingdom in my Head

AWSOME! Just.... Awsome.

Pretty sure it's a play off of 'Dominican Republic'... nice shirt dude. I'm in if it wins.

Edit: Just picked up on the "Obey Us" but still need more. Not getting the "Sublimican" part.

Rodents & cheese... can't go wrong with me!

Also play on the word "subliminal", as in "subliminal message".

Re: Kingdom in my Head

this wins.

this won.

this is the winner.

Re: Sublimican Republic

sweet. I love it, I would totally buy one.

it took me forever to figure out that it said "sublimican" instead of "subliminal" weirdness.

Yes I admit, it's a tad on the girly side. xP

Yea really nice....i don't get it...but I feel the strange urge to follow your orders....hmm, wierd.

this is clever. nicely done.

Re: Cosmic Music Nation

I'm a big fan of trippy music. I absolutely love Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Phish, and others. This is the symbol for the imaginary land in your head when you sit back, close your eyes, and listen to Another Brick in the Wall or All Along the Watchtower.

Here's a larger picture:



Thanks for looking!

just gonna tell you, foxes rock!
Nice job.

Sublime can also mean an emotional state that can't be expressed in words. It's an aesthetic judgment.

Latin for Sweet is dulcis, like I've put on the shirt (I've also included "sweet" in English, underneath it) =)

There's other latin on the shirt.. Candidae Terra, I think? Which means 'Candy Country' =D

The girls on this site are always screaming for feminine designs.

Thanks! Some people should recognize the fox from last week. When I drew him for the Summer derby it was basically a throw-away entry; I'd drawn him freehand so the lines were quite rough and shaky. I was really surprised at how well it did.

This fox has been done more carefully using the pen tool. I hope that's a good thing!

I do, too.. and am venting my frustrations of not being able to eat it (I'm eating healthier) via this shirt. =D

Great job (love the comp too). Did you finish that book?

Re: The Land of Dodgeball Defense

One of my best friends and I have always had the dream of owning castles on neighboring mountain sides and developing cannons to launch huge red bouncy balls at each other. I mean, c'mon, what could be more fun than attacking a castle with dodge ball cannons, seriously? This is the crest for that favorite dream of mine.

I like this. It took me a while to realize that the red letters in the scroll at the bottom spell out, "OBEY US." It's truly subliminal. It looks cool, too.

Re: The Federated States of Anarchy.

Whoaaa......you got your irony in my tshirt.

Re: The Roar of Basstown

Fretless? You're crazy!

My friend plays the bass guitar and he get angry whenever he's playing something and someone asks if he was playing the theme from Seinfeld. I think that's slap bass though.

Re: Kingdom in my Head

Niiiiice.

Wow... this shirt looks familiar...

Re: Candy Country

Which do I love more, candy or this shirt?

I CANNOT DECIDE!

Nice work

Excellent design, I would woot that at 12:00AM.

interesting. definitely had never seen that, hopefully will be recognized as quite unique from it (and I don't think they typically reject for a photo from imageshack, more so a tshirt for sale somewhere).

Re: Notberrysville

I don't get it. I mean, I get the references to The Tick, but what's the imaginary nation that this is supposed to represent?
