Lmao! Great idea/design. GMV.

I appreciate that, I'm glad you didn't just dismiss it as a cutesy, simple, effortless shirt. I actually wanted to do something in a completely different style this week to change things up a bit, but I thought of this idea and really wanted to do it, and after multiple attempts, this was the only way I could see it through. I suppose you'll have to wait until next week to see a different style of design from me, but I'd like to think that this is quite different from the rest of the designs I've posted so far anyway

That doesn't exactly make sense, since people can vote for as many shirts as they want. They can vote for both if they don't have a preference and want this shirt either way. Otherwise, now there's an option for those who wouldn't vote for it with the text, and an option for those who want/need the text. They wouldn't vote for it otherwise. Not a bad idea to submit it both ways at all. :\

Re: Apollo: God of Rock 'n Roll

Lmao...I love your little story there. (Viva Los Athens???) Not sure I'd wear this, but I'll revisit it later and see...nice job. XD Combining two great myths/legends.

nice you never let us down with your BA designs

Re: Just Another Day On the Job

...Wow. I did NOT expect this. I'll think about voting for it...it is pretty epic awesome though.

Here's the idea behind "vote splitting".

Say you put up two versions of the design. I really like the design, especially version 2. Since I'd rather see version 2 get printed, maybe I'll vote for that one but not version 1. But if you had only submitted version 1, I would just vote for that one.

Flip this around for people who prefer version 1. Now, votes have been split between two designs, when they would be consolidated if only one version had been submitted.

It's only a theory, but I think it's sound. If ever I can't decide something (i.e. with colour options), I'll consider submitting multiple versions, but would remove all but one (the one with the most votes) before the 24 hour window was up. But it's only a theory.

Re: A is for Atlas

awesome

Re: No way out of the Minotaur's maze...

Really cool idea for your design. I think a different shirt color would make it pop though, this just looks a little bleh at the moment. :\

Re: Pot O'Gold

this is really hot!

Re: Greek Urban Mythology

Yea this needs to be bigger so we can see the details...

This is awesome. And I love the shirt color. GMV.

A great illustration transcends all shirt design prejudice.

Re: Kung Fu Hangout

This is a good design with a great final execution. Hope to see you and your design at the top. GMV

Re: Charlie's Gorgons

Love it, awesome design. Need to sleep on it before voting though...would I buy this? Hmm, we shall see...

Re: Nessie

Jeeeez I want this shirt

Re: Sun Wukong (The Monkey King)

awesome sauce.

Agree love the shirt

but placement is minus points :/
Would have liked it at the bottom left or right imo

Re: Red-Robin Hood

Ha! Top notch stuff!

Re: What's Worse than a Werewolf Chasing You?

Wow, I can see the love you put into this. Hope this does well. Good Luck!

Would definitely get one!

Re: Satyr's Song

I love the style on this. I wish it wasn't so bottom heavy in placement (like I need people looking at my gut) but its really great piece of art.

I NEED THIS SHIRT

wow amazing art I wish I could buy it this very second


Best shirt I've seen on the site...ever

Re: Sun Wukong (The Monkey King)

Your stuff doesn't usually grab me but this rocks. Love that blue on the brown. Love the stamp look and solid colors. I would be all, "Oggling my goat? NEED ONE NOW" except your monkey's face is creeping me out. Aside from that it pwns.

Re: Dragon Slayer

Wish I could buy it this second

Of course. What else would you fish with?

ahuhu fair enough. just do something for me next week...anything NOT in blue. I don't mean the shirt color, but the art. and something that will print how you design it. I really love the red fish blue fish, as I am a huge Seuss fan. I would have bought it, if it printed like your comp. your comp is lovely, subtle and not too anime. love the water. but it didn't print like that from what I have seen. and I am a shirt buyer, hence my black box. at last count I was up to 48 shirts I think (many multiples of shirts for friends and family). You and Seki have some interesting things...I thought initially well of some of your designs..its just..between the two of you, it feels like some derbies are dominated by the same stuff. between your entries, hers, and colabs they become too much alike for my tastes. by all means, enter 5 designs. or however many your cramping hand can manage..just would love to see some different colors and style. Seki's wolf and plant thing was a nice change last derby. I was sorry that your titanic one got canned, and I even liked the little dead anime dudes. made it less gruesome ahuhu.

SarahPants5 wrote:I meant the flow of the design, feels more natural. The serpent is kinda stiff and forced, for me anyway. Have you never seen the word organic used in this way before?

Organic has quite a few meanings ;-). I was curious what your take on this was. I actually prefer the other design but like both :D. Thanks for your response.

i normally don't comment on designs, but to see this in the fog is depressing. with luck this will fall quickly as newer (hopefully better) designs enter the fray. i haven't seen a shirt i would wear on woot for a long time now... oh well, keeps the $10 in my pocket anyhow.

//done being negative.

Don't worry; Your cutesy style designs should make it into the fog now.

Re: One Eyed One Horned Flying...

Man, this is my first comment ever, but I absolutely love this! Good luck, and GMV!

Re: Sun Wukong (The Monkey King)

oh wow, this is awesome! I love the blue on brown, with the red script..perfect addition. the placement is very nice too. I really like your shirt designs that you do this way, with Asian influences. you do it very very well. I am still pining for a few of your other shirts ahuhu. but this is delightful. GMV and I hope to see it climb into the fog where it belongs.

Redo! this is awesome!

Even though I know the original myth this is based on, I too thought of discworld immediately ahuhu. totally awesome design and has my vote and my money for 2 if it won. my son is a huge discworld fanatic and totally loves this design.

Re: Worst Date Ever.

oh Fablefire I heart this lots. the look on her face and the bows...just too perfect. I like the diagram version too. this needs to be doing better. you do cute better than just about anyone. cause its cute with a twist. GMV and a loud "KAWAII!!" shout out.

Re: Worst Date Ever. (with diagram)

hahahahaha love it. too funny. though I wish the Adder reference would pass the rejectionator. I truly liked that in the original diagram.
