Shirt.Woot

Re: The Aviator

This shirt will be fun to wear. Lots of shirt color showing through for that famous Cho-flexibility, despite the relatively large size of the print.

Re: Personal Steamputer

There's really a TON going on here. More focus would nice - something simple but not too much so. Maybe pulling your favorite elements out of this design and condensing it. There's too much for the eye to take in and it just ends up going, "oh ... cool" rather than "oh wow ... look at these 4-5 really AWESOME aspects" ...

Just a bit of input as a consumer - I know my art would never make it to the top 4 but this really has a lot of potential. Overall, great work. :-)

Re: The Aviator

Appreciate it everyone. A hardcore job, and other work has kept me from here, but i'll try to submit more when there is an opportunity.

Thanks for the votes n Gigli (2003). YOU GUYZ R THE BEST BFFL 4EVA kikz.

Re: Combustible Prey

Well done, Loop! That was a tough scene to draw but you nailed it- it really looks like it's tearing in to that bag. Excellent work.

Re: Rustic

Cool!!!

Re: Let's Play

I absolutely love the textures you put in this, but I don't really feel the Steampunk in this. Adding steam and gear wheels doesn't make something Steampunk. I hope we'll be seeing more creative uses of textures in your future pieces! They really did turn out very well.

Re: NIGHTTIME COOLNESS

I'd wear it.

Re: Gamepunk

Note to all of my supporters: If this shirt doesn't end up getting reinstated soon (which I'm sure it won't), it will be available for purchase at www.cafepress.com/A2Ts within the next day or so. Look for it! Thanks for your support!

Re: Synthetic Beauty

Much better! This one definitely fits the definition of Steampunk so much more than your robot entry. This is stunning. I hope it takes Top 3 because I /want/ this shirt. If I had my wishes, I'd wish this to be a large wall graphic to put in my computer room. sigh. It would sit over my lego Mechwarrior Madcat, lego AT-ST, lego speeder bike and Big Daddy (Bioshock 2) figure.

Re: The Girl in Red

At first glance, it looks really interesting. But then you see some massive, strangely placed smokestacks coming out of the wolf's back and are all "The breadsticks need marinara!"!? They're really oddly placed and seem out of proportion with the rest of the wolf. That and they just make no sense at all -- what the hell are they actually powering, anyways?

My monitor shows black.

Re: Steam Goliath

This is great! The robot is awesome, the teeth are loose and perfect, you nailed the kid's posture... And then the placement is icing on the cake. Mad props.

Re: Calling John Henry!

ok, AWESOME!!!

Re: Phineas the Aeronaut

Oh, come on! You just submited this a couple derbies ago! >.<

Re: The Girl in Red

This is amazing, but it strikes me more as cyberpunk than steampunk.

Can you do a resub? The wolf needs gears and the smokestacks need to look more like tailpipes than factory smokestacks

Re: Steam Goliath

This is a great design. It deserves to be higher up!

Re: Calling John Henry!

Yes!

I agree, it would look a lot better if it was resized smaller. What pantone did you use for this shirt? As to clear up the confusion. :]

That's what I was thinking. When I saw this, it screamed to be placed in top right of the shirt. Otherwise, nice work. Very clean and simple.

I'm so glad this one's done. I'm so sick of looking at it. Got trapped in details. I hope you guys like it.

Re: Outpost

This shirt is great! Fantastic placement on the different pieces. The floating islands are a nice touch.

Re: Phineas the Aeronaut

If you're going to resubmit a design, it must be significantly modified. The rejectionator will judge whether or not your modification is "significant" - sometimes it's fine to just change the colour palette or add a couple of extra fluorishes to the background, sometimes redrawing the entire design is still not enough. But if you make no changes at all, it's almost a guaranteed rejection!

Re: Personal Steamputer

The art is awesome. It's true about it being hard to quickly tell what's going on and find a fast focus (you're stuck in illustrator-mode aren't you!). I think if you could solve that problem, you'd be golden. The complexity of your art with a really simple focal point would be great.

Edit: this is already great as an illustration, I'm blown away by your style.

I was just noticing that myself. I originally thought it was brown! O_o But yeah, I think it's black.

you're welcome!

Same here, everytime I get on here I come back to this shirt... Full of win and awesome

I don't understand this rejection at all....

What can't be pulled off?

Re: Synthetic Beauty

Orders of magnitude better than your other entry which is IMHO utter garbage.

I feel like things always print a little smaller than the artists show them on the shirt. Maybe it's just me. But for that reason, and because it shows up better in the comp, and mostly because I like it that way, I always show things a bit large.
The orange was Pantone 7417, like woot says to use, and it magically turned to red when I saved it as a jpg. If you know why let me know so it doesn't happen again. Pretty annoying when it does that.

thanks, looks like I'm destined for one of those middle-of-the-pack designs again. Maybe I need to try these at DBH or threadless...

Re: Outpost

really really like the floating islands.

I was really excited and motivated with this week's theme. I hope this is fitting enough for it.

Re: McSteamy Banana

This is awesome man...not sure why it appeals to me so much, but it really does! Got my vote earlier today, but didn't have time to comment

So, I'm sitting here at work looking at shirts, and I see this one and I'm like "hey, this shirt's awesome" and I call my coworkers over to look at it, and they're like "yeah, that shirt's awesome", and then only after everyone's come and gawked did I realize it was yours.

Good show, old bean.

Ah, I see. I did ask, when the derby was announced but before it opened, what the rule was on resubmitting designs, and, helpfully, nobody responded.

Um K... you can't do that, regardless if it was rejected or not, woot has the rights to the design for 60 days. You've been around here long enough to know that.

Re: Calling John Henry!

Excellent job Robbie. I really like the smoke textures.

Re: Gamepunk

"This is really, really clever, but Idon't think we can pull it off.]\\\\"

What does that mean exactly? Please explain better, because we don't know if you are saying too close to actual gameboy or artwork not printable.
