Shirt.Woot

Thanks, here is a slightly higher res image, this is my first derby and I kinda screwed up the detail pics. Oh well, at least it's a rather appropriate first derby :-P

OH, so you are down to 1 now?

love the idea and the art

Re: Spring Beginning

Very cool shirt.

Re: DNA Baby

That is much cooler than I expected from the thumbnail. Got my vote.

Re: The Bad Egg

This illustration just radiates awesomeness! I have been using your "Cheer Up" wallpaper for the last few weeks, and was muy happy...and now it has been replaced because I love this one even more! I definitely voted and will snag it if it becomes a shirt, but I think it may be even more awesome as my wallpaper! You're still my new hero!

It would be excellent if shirt.woot! sold woot!-branded AA blanks for a day, but I'd buy a more interesting color than white :P

Yea, but you've hit the top ten/best loser list WAY more times than I have. You've definitely produced more quality designs than I have.

Kudos, dekonstruct. ;)

thanks spaz!

Re: The Journey Begins Again Again (resub)

Still my favorite derby design and probably the only one I'd buy... ;-). Srsly dude.

Re: ... And after that, the humans appeared.

Much excellent! Woot!

That's why I like it so much. I never vote for the fancy artsy shirts. I like designs that are clever, rather than just eye candy.

There are typically two philosophies for shirt design. 'Art as shirts' or 'shirts as art'. And at least from my experience, most people are pretty set in which one they like.

Of course you mean the objects in the shirt, ooze and baby turtles. But nobody is arguing that those are his idea, so at best you've got a strawman argument.

Maybe nobody is addressing your points because they fall over so quickly.

gizmoduck isn't arguing that the implementation is the same. He's saying that the idea BEHIND the design is the same. By misrepresenting his argument, you yourself are the one using the strawman argument.

I agree with gizmo and Josephus here. I don't know much about TMNT but from the screencap that was posted, I have to say that there is nothing new here. As others have said, there is no commentary or parody. It's basically the same as in the movie (and the comic?), only drawn in a different style.

No copyright infringement, so I'm sure woot will print it. Props to DF for thinking of putting this on a shirt. I also appreciate the style of the linework, even though I'm not fond of the distressing.

Re: Rise n' Shine!

Thank you for the comments, everyone! I would also like some feedback as to how to better it, since it is not doing well in this here Derby... any constructive criticism available out there?

Cute! If only this is the way that it really worked.

: D

@Seki, 100indecisions - Thanks!

@PhilSandifer - That's cool. No hard feelings.

@Kaliko2005 - Oh yeah, I already responded to you.

@noisdois - You're too kind.

Re: Blank Canvas (white) (resub)

The only thing about this design that I can't understand or get behind is why Adder seemed to like it after his multiple tirades against simplicity, anime, and stick figures. No insults because I LIKE the stick figure shirts, but this is about a half step up from it.

eHalcyon wrote:Since this is unlikely to win here, could you please make the rounds on the various competitions sites with this design? I'm loathe to buy from Spreadshirt because of the lower quality and higher cost. If you put this on Cameesa, you'll have my support. And if not any of those, could you please TeeFury it before going to Spreadshirt?

Same goes for Big Words.

What (s)he said.

NICE! Another RIFFMASTER gem.

Re: The Beginning of Sin

This is a great design, it would be really great if Woot would use fashion soft for the dark green instead of using all plastisol ink. The only problem is they most likely won't and then its all of that thick ink on the shirt and the seperation between the head and the snake will blend a little too much... oh well,
Great work though!

He's made no tirades against simplicity.

Re: DNA Baby

I don't really like how the DNA seems to stop at a solid line. Maybe it would have been better if it faded into the background or something. But still...It's a cool design.

eHalcyon wrote:gizmoduck isn't arguing that the implementation is the same. He's saying that the idea BEHIND the design is the same...

Yeah i was about to accuse you of using a strawman argument on me, but you do have a technical point. He's arguing against the idea being different, even though that's not what anyone thinks the merit of shirt is. So it's not quite really a strawman... it's just... belligerence?

gizmoduck1234 wrote:Powerful metaphors.

My point is, was, has been that the content/concept/idea is 100% unoriginal. You all agree with me. The artist agrees with me. And yet even though we are all in agreement about that fact, my point, the thing I've been talking about the whole time, you all insist on telling me I'm wrong about it. We agree it's an unoriginal idea, but yet I'm wrong when I say that it is.

Yeah sorry about that, i guess i should have asked - why do you keep harping on this non-issue when everyone already agrees with you?

hotcha wrote:Yeah sorry about that, i guess i should have asked - why do you keep harping on this non-issue when everyone already agrees with you?

Probably because everyone seems to think it's a non-issue.

Well, one of the claims to fame that shirt.woot lays claim to (uh, I think that's what I mean) is that the work be original. They repeatedly have rejected shirts, not only for being similar to other shirts, but also for a general lack of originality. I can see his(her) point in this case, it isn't at all original. Here's the thing, though. It will sell a ton of shirts. They know that, I know that, everyone who's seen it and the comments it has generated knows that. Because of that, they won't reject it, unless they become convinced not only that it is a copyright infringement, but also likely to get sued over.

eHalcyon wrote:Probably because everyone seems to think it's a non-issue.

I guess that's right. Well, no better way to draw attention to your cause than zealous indignation. I hope you'll forgive me for getting caught up by the stream of insults.

Adder: "Come on, you MUST have a first name."
Baldrick: "It might be Sod Off."
Adder: "Sod Off??"
Baldrick: "Yeah, when I was a young lad playing in the gutter, I used to say to all the other snipes, "'Allo, my names Baldrick". And they'd say, "Yes we know, Sod Off Baldrick"

My lord! If people use multiple accounts to further their design votes, the entire system of shirt.woot could be as broken as this vase.

Had to say it. Once I realized where your name came from I just couldn't resist.

Re: Seeds

Really? I'm the first with anything to say about such a cool design?
...We'll it reminds me of the drawings I like to do. I take it it's a plant's roots growing out, but it looks like an angel to me, or a butterfly, or badly mutated DNA. Whatever, GMV.

Re: And there was light

Yea, Monochromatic. That's a good thing in my mind. Great entry, GMV.

I made this shirt in Fireworks 8 but
i do have Photoshop and Illustrator
how do i use Pantone Swatches? and how does that allow me to use colors that are illegal?

BA ZING!

Everything is ahead of my poop shirt now, someone tattled on it because they couldn't handle the greatness.
