Shirt.Woot

Re: Safe Journeys

I would stick with one color so that you can get the most out of the votes. Just my 1.5 cents.

Re: PIN UP ART-IST

Because of the placement and color of the tear, this shirt could not really be worn by either a woman or anyone who's not white.

Re: Hellwaii

I like it on green a lot. For one, the red pops off more.

What, even library ladies have wild sides!

y'know, i have three tattoos and i'm an office manager. I just don't understand why tattoos are still socially taboo in most of the working world.

Re: Wisdom & Courage

In Japanese culture, the koi is a symbol of wisdom and courage. In folklore, it's said that every year thousands of koi swim up the Rainbow (Dragon) River but only one of those thousands makes it to the Rainbow (Dragon) Gate to fulfill it's goal and become a dragon. The koi shows the will to go against odds to reach the destiny.

Also, for anyone curious as to the colorings, I was very intrigued with the white with red dot Tancho and white and black with red dot Tancho Sanke koi and went with that for the striking color combination, but wanted to include that golden body that you see on more common koi such as the Kawarimono, Utsuri and Ochiba.

but i think i would've liked it more if it was just the two zebras in the center

Me too. The thumbnail is much cooler than the full picture.

Re: Tribal Dragon!

The quote sold me. I like your sense of humor. And I like your style. GMV.

Re: Weapon of mass disruption

Incredible, especially considering you did this with a limited color palette. Loving the dragons, this one is the best.

Re: Acherontia lachesis III

I love this piece, Art. very well done and I love the color combination with the aqua on asphalt.

SpastasticNomadic wrote:Isn't this from the costume derby?

yes. and because it wasn't modified at all (though, how could you? it's too simple) it will most likely be rejected.

I have an extremely similar idea that I've been working on since yesterday afternoon. Good luck!

Hopefully I'll have mine up sometime tonight.

re: under the fluff

Re: Under the Fluff

The fluff is brilliant. It will start a creative run on other things that are "under".
I vote for a winner!

Re: Fly Away (Resub)

Why aren't people voting for this? C'mon people, put it in the hotness!

Kassiandora wrote:What if it had a boy's name before they gave up :P

Kinda wanted to do that, but I thought that might turn some people off, so since this is a popularity contest, I left it off.

Re: Weapon of mass disruption

A detail image would be very helpful in judging how the shirt would be.

Re: Tribal Dragon

very interesting, i like it.

i'd be curious to see how it would look if the flame color and dragon colors were reversed (the orange-fade dragon breathing purple-bluish flames). just a thought.

Re: I Give Up

i like the idea, but i (like many others) don't look good in yellow. i would've done a more "universal" color.

Re: Japanese Style Dragon God

i really like this design of a dragon. colors work well too. it gives me the slight idea of the Dragon Ball Z dragon.

Oooo, I believe that makes 5 Quality Posts.

This made me smile

Re: Acherontia lachesis III

good stuff.

Re: Safe Journeys (White)

I really enjoy the colors on this, Mito. Very well done.

Re: Safe Journeys (White)

Great colors, and +1 Narwhal.

Re: I can't read it... But I'll wear it (resub)

That's hilarious, too bad I don't do white.

Honestly, this just looks distorted. The other was much better.

Sweet! Love it! It would be cool to see someone have a tattoo like this!

Re: Changing Spots

Very clever interpretation. GMV

earthart wrote:I can see their point, but I don't see it as a deal breaker. Now you have me brainstorming alternative names. If I come up with any I'll pass them along.

heh ok, well thanks! Let me know if you do. It doesn't seem to be picking up any steam, so maybe it could use a new name or something...

Thanks billyok!

Re: Weapon of mass disruption

Very cool, excellent use of colored lighting. GMV

Re: Hellwaii

awesome illustration but doesnt this qualify under "this could totally be a tattoo"

JordanTG wrote:Yes, to be honest i have been only wearing V-necks for almost 3 years, but just last week for the first time because of your shirt, and leonryans shirt i decided to change it up. My neck feels like it's suffocating, i like my neck to breathe lol. Maybe one day woot will catch on.

That's a good reason to like anchors also. I'm just very metaphorical, when it comes to things like this. It reminds me of a format song, where he says "Sailors think twice before anchoring". A lot of truth in those lyrics.

Yes, I see them as change because you can bring some stability to your life, but if you want to move on you just bring the anchor up and let the wind catch your sails.

Also, don't go see 500 days of summer. It wasn't what i was expecting. Assuming you were interested in those kinds of things.

Good luck with everything, and would you be ok with me added you to facebook? It's hard to find someone whom shares a love of anchors like myself.

Cheers.

I don't know why no one offers v-necks. Anyone know? Aside from the suffocation (VERY annoying) people just don't look that great being cut off right at the bottom of their neck. V's are way more attractive. I guess we could start a petition. We have 2 signatures anyways and it can only go up from there.

Of course you can add me on facebook. Be my friend or fan, I have both.

Everyone else, thanks for the great comments. The more this goes on the more I'm wishing this would do better too. It would look so good for the summer! Guess I'll have to just make one for myself. Wouldn't be the first time.

Yet, it has twice as many votes as me. I still need time to adjust to wooter voting I guess.

No more than yours would.
Mine is loosely based on a famous/popular tattoo. Just as yours is.

I figured I'd clear that up in case you were confused why I threw "cancellation" in there, because I sure as hell didn't. :p

Woot filters you got me again!! Blast!! >

Heh, that did kind of strike me as odd, but no worries, I got what you're saying

I couldn't bear the furor. I wonder if they'd like their bird as a kiwi, though?

Re: Peace, Love & Rock 'n Roll

This was inspired by Haida totem pole I saw when I was on vacation in Victoria, Canada as well as some really nifty Haida tattoos I found while researching online. They were nice and simple with few colors and interesting designs.

Anyway, I hope everyone likes the shirt! Please let me know what you think, critique away!

Re: Acherontia lachesis IIIx

A little different version.

I still like black shirts. A lot. It's 61 degrees here right now. And July! Brrr.

Halftones are printable based on what I've seen done here before.

If there's any question, woot can view the print ready.

5 colors on black. Thanks for any votes!
