Oh no that song will NEVER leave my head now, *giggles*!

Re: Fire Dancer

Beautiful! Even if this isn't chosen for Woot I hope you'd consider making it available somewhere. I bet a lot of people who do poi would love one of these!

Re: maiself-tai

I.. drink... your... COCONUT MILK!

Oiehieheoiho, what a cute design. Excellent job on those halftones, too. Looks very nice.

hardt21 wrote:What? Why wouldn't they be able to print? Why would you even write something like that? I've seen much smaller halftones print! This is a great design, you got my vote!

I see no reason why it wouldn't print well. Those don't even look like halftones.

Re: Luau for 1.. maybe 2.. probably not 3

ahahahaha! hilarious, extra funny with the title. That poor little piggy.

Re: maiself-tai

Really nice design/composition. GMV.

Re: maiself-tai

Mmm, mai tais! Nice colors on this one, rg.

Re: Luau Fire

Awesome job sokowa! but, minor questions... where did those islanders get the wood for that fire? i mean.. theres only two trees in the whole place!at least theres only two left.. not very environmentally sound..

maybe they should burn corn instead.

Re: Fine Young Cannibals

*giggles*, Love it! GMV!!

Re: Fine Young Cannibals

Awesome- great timing as I read the shirt. I saw the first three one at a time and then... bang! GMV

Re: Sometimes I explode, and I don't know why.

Re: Liquid Hibiscus

OOOH! the drama... its not a derby unless someone says its unworthy, another says its too simple, another claims that their opinion is superior, and someone threatens to leave forever. Glad we got all that out of the way.

Good simple design, reads well... Repetition isnt a bad thing, and is a good and effective communication tool. Its not like they are all the same, rotation and rescale works wonders. Yes its probably common enough that it might garner a rejection, but luau is a fairly narrow theme with few possible iterations, so thye'll prolly let it pass. Besides.. its not like woot has never printed something simple and common, despite the comments of the elitists. Lets face it.. this is the stuff voters like, pandering or not, and so be it.

Look closely designers. This is woots demographic, regardless of who they target.

Re: Fine Young Cannibals

love it geekfactor! you've got such wonderful expressions on them. and I love the red shoes on the freddie one.

Yeah, my first comment came off a little bit harsher than I meant it to due to the fact that I was rushed on time. My second comment is more of what I felt about it. It could be so much more than what it is. If the flowers flowed into each other more instead of being the same thing just copy/pasted, it'd be so much better. I'm thinking the liquid part of it could be emphasized. I'm not sure if you can picture what I'm picturing, but if the flowers were dripping into each other, it might look nicer. I'm sure you don't have a bunch of time to work with it, but that's my much more verbose opinion.

Re: Fine Young Cannibals

This is GREAT!

Re: Ku

wow. i like this a lot. is this asphalt or navy?

Re: The Pig Fights Back
Very nice work! I would buy one.

I don't know that I've seen you do this style before...but it's GREAT! I will now add you to my list of artists 'masterful at the tragically cute'.

Ohhh! Thanks for all the adjectives! Its nice to see your style infecting other designers. maybe we should tag team on something sometime, warped stained glass color explosions of demented humor might be a winnah!

Re: Fine Young Cannibals

this is pretty darn amazing.

Re: Pineapple Of My Eye

Love that purple, and pineapples are delish!

Yes, I know exactly what you mean - I was just saying today - before I saw any of the drama, or knew I was garnering attention/votes, that I would have liked to spend more time on it. When I do any drawing or painting - I do the initial upchuck of creativity and then set it aside for awhile and return to it with a fresh perspective and either make it awesome or overwork it - I will probably work on this design some more just because I like the concept and would like to perfect it - soon, right after I finish procrastinating. I really do appreciate feedback of any kind.

Re: Liquid Hibiscus

Simple. Nicely placed. Pretty.

GG. GMV

Thank you, Patchitect. I always like your designs and appreciate your eloquent diplomacy.

Re: Luau Fire

Looks like somebody forgot to get their Smokey on.

Thanks for the comments and votes!

Re: The Pig Fights Back

Great design! but im not a fan of the shirt color...

bro3of4 wrote:Really cute and a great illustration. . . but there is absotively posilutely no way I would wear this. I would feel so uncomfortable and all types of wrong wearing this. I think you cut your potential voters in half with the 'girl-y' factor.

Would make a cute poster or framed picture for a beach house, though.

So I love the expression on the mermaids face but even as I women I would never wear this. Makes me feel all kinds of dirty because it doesn't appear there is any kind of covering what I think is a child and the whole image is skin tone. I think adding some sort coloring to the tail would be nice. I don't know how to explain it but a naked child is not ok where a naked women would be better (I'm sorry, I don't really know how to explain). Really well drawn though and like I said, I love the expression.

Re: Liquid Hibiscus

GMV! like the color choices....hopefully i can pull this off as a guy.

Re: maiself-tai

Love your rays that you often do. And that guy could drink forever and ever.. or until it evaporates.

I have to agree, its really cute in the detail, but the fleshy fins kinda spoil it for me.. i dont think i could even give this to my daughter to wear cause of that. If it had a color tone to the fish bits, it'd work better.. hate to lose a layere to the shading tho, which is done very well...

I had the exact same feeling but didn't have the courage to post it. The face looks like a little girl to me, and thus the nearly naked body makes me very uncomfortable. I agree, Wonderbunny, that a naked adult woman would be better.
I doubt the artist meant to make the girl look young, but that's how she looks to me.

Re: maiself-tai

Whoa self-cannibalism. Sketchy... and yet cute! I love the rays and the color choices.
