Thanks for the comment. This one is a sequel to my other submission Hula Pig so that is why it looks like it does. You're right that a version all in that style would be cool.

Yeah... I just couldn't stop thinking of the Polynesian fishhook necklaces when this derby was announced, so I just decided to throw this one in.

Good thing woot hasn't rejected close to anything this week

Re: The Pig Fights Back

Is this shirt six colors? It seems like it's got at least seven in it... but I'm sure I'm counting wrong.

I've bought many shirts and incouraged people to submit in the start, but I have no idea what to do if I really would like a shirt as a the perfect gift, but it's not picked. So what can I do, ethics permit me from doing anything other than pleading? Wear can I get it if it never finds it way to the front of the pack?

Re: Plumeria Paradise

Keep up the good work! I'm happy to see this is in third place... I hope it stays there (or moves higher of course!) because I want to buy one!!!

Re: Luau Dream

Wow, gorgeous illustration. LOVE the colors, placement and size... it all looks very professional to me. Really enjoy your design slowdecay, thanks for sharing and best of luck.

Thank you, now how to contact designer to find out if they do so, as they are the resub maori birds? Which if it wasn't the fact that it would make such a good gift I'd just keep waiting.

Re: Tiki Outline

I really like how it's all one continuous line... very cool.

Re: Maori Love Birds V2 (RESUB)

Earthart, let me know if you plan on doing a limitied print elsewhere if it doesn't get printed. This would make a great gift for someone and I'd really like to get a copy by the end of the year if possible. Great luck, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for at least a runner up print. Thank you!

Re: Luau Angel

I dunno, toe. Did you even consider that the line-work and stylization on this illustration would be way too well-rendered, visually stunning, and not even close to generic enough to have a decent chance at the fog? Just my two cents. Voted anyway.

Re: OH you KNOW that's YOUR DAD!

No, I don't know if that's my dad. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's a trace of Peter Griffin from Family Guy . . .

Yeah, it's six colors. Burgundy, Olive, Orange, Lt. Yellow, Peach, and a very very dark brown (basically black.)

Great design and colors, I would buy it!

sweet. that would be terrible to get this far and have it be more than six! I figured I was counting wrong, but also figured better to bring it up and have a chance to fix it than miss it and get dq'd!

Re: colors of luau

I think the colors go very well together, I love it. Hope it can get more votes and climb the charts. GMV

Re: I need a toothpick!

Aww thats a cute little guy, too bad he's about to be lunch! gmv

Re: Slushed

God I love this shirt. I was showing it to a bunch of coworkers and they cracked up!

Re: Luau Beast from 90 Fathoms

Heh heh, I like this one a lot

Re: Luau Fire

I'm truly appalled that this is no longer in the fog. Must find a way to vote more than once....

Re: Fire Dancer

This one is just incredible AnnaJo... seriously fantastic job on the fire, I'm really glad you posted that image of how you layered it, I'm sure it will be helpful for a lot of us. Great placement, too. I really think this will look great on a shirt.

Re: Plumeria Paradise

Great design. GMV

Re: Luau Girl

Very colorful and pretty, love it. Hope it gets more votes. GMV

Thanks so much, I'm so happy it is being well received! I already voted for yours earlier, so kudos to you on your design!

Re: The Pig Fights Back

Congrats on fogging again! "The pig fights back" is a perfect title for you in this derby!

Re: Luau Angel

Very beautiful and the colors are great together. GMV

Re: TREEmendously Original

I wanted to let everyone know that I did notice that I messed up my layering between the bottom blue tree and the bottom left (from the viewer) white tree. I will fix this in my print ready and send it to woot if it wins, so noone worry. Just wanted to make sure that people weren't just not voting for it because of that glaring error.

Re: Honu- spirit of Hawaii

very cool skek! glad I checked the derby page and saw it in the hotness. The mosaic gives it a really unique feel, very different from the other designs this week and from your other designs. Plus it's nice to see a design from someone who has actually been to hawaii! ;)

Indeed! It keeps flip-flopping within the 3-5 spots.

Congrats!

it is a tragedy that this has fallen so far when everything in the fog is blah, blah, blah, and blah.

Re: Luau Dream

Awesome drawing/design.

Be careful with placement though. Some parts look like they're out of the printable area. I hope it doesn't get rejected for that. Seems like an easy fix, but it would be a shame to have to resub after coming this far.

BTW, congrats on making the hotness! GMV!

Hello Groowalla, thank you for making your premiere post such wonderful feedback. It is very much appreciated. It's a bit too late for this to get to the fog, but I am very happy with how it has done and truly appreciate the sentiment. Thanks again and take care.

Re: Luau Fire

mm it's a shame this one's so far back :/ what's your other design in this derby soko?

klswoot wrote:Earth- This one is doing really well for you. I think you made a good call by only submitting one of the two designs. Seems folks like this one, so you probably kept the best of the two.

Good luck!

Thanks kls. It appears you have done well with your kls/toe collaborations as well with them both currently in the top 20. Hard to tell which of my two designs would have done best since I pulled the other, but I'm happy with the results regardless. A few of my coworkers thought as you did and preferred the initial design, but an equal number preferred the latter. Thanks again for all of your feedback and assistance. Best of luck with your designs. Take care.

Re: The Pig Fights Back

And its out again. I'd seriously love to get this shirt.
