The scales look backwards to me. Shouldn't they be going the other direction?

I think you are right!

Congrats on the print. I waited to post my previous comments until this late because I didn't want to sway the voting and have people jumping on the bandwagon like in tgentry's Shiva design from the elements derby. The reservations were strictly personal and it was and is apparent that you did you best to respectfully produce this design. I'm guessing it will sell pretty well, the color choices really are great.

tgentry wrote:Congrats Joe. That was an impressive climb over the course of the derby.

Thanks, travis. It seemed like the votes were pretty constant. When I saw the dragon knock you out of the fog, I thought "I know how to lose to travis, I've done that lots of times! so I can deal with this!" ;^)
I really expected to end up behind your lovely design in sixth place.

Yeah, I've got to agree. When you look up the word "Bi***" in the dictionary its definition is "a female dog"...the other definitions (i.e., the usage which resulted in you disqualifying the entry) are listed as slang.

Don't really care, because I didn't like the design, but I didn't like the Kiwi even more. Woot's 3rd now? ... Lousy kiwi... grumble...

...Still grumbling... Can Woot print the greatest shirt ever made, Artulo's "Gonna Make You Lunch" instead? I would have that tattooed on me...

I made other minor tweaks as well (thanks for the feedback). If you like this version, please spare a vote. I welcome all feedback, good or bad. Thanks for looking.

Oh the pain! 69 votes in 12 hours, and had I gotten here sooner it would have been an even 70. I do like the blue option, I think it's more soothing than the olive; though if I were buying for me I'd purchase olive. (light blue just isn't my color - you just can't please everyone!)

Hope your drive was safe!

Re: Weapon of mass disruption

Hmmm, so...

...we can't verify the rights of the source image

It was rejected because they can't verify the license (presumably because it is in Chinese and they don't have a copy). Does that mean that if the image was verified to be public domain or at least acceptable usage via the publishers of the book, that it would not have been rejected?

In others words, is it acceptable to woot to submit entries that are largely created from clip art?

Re: The Living Canvas

wow you got beat out by a lumpy kiwi, some vector scaffolding, a joke done wrong and a design that actually belongs in the fog
glad to see that at least one of the four designs that beat you is deserving

That's what I was thinking. Wouldn't it have been better to have a human getting the same tattoo from a robot? I dunno. Just thinking out-loud.

crankshanker wrote:Wrong Thumbnail! oh well cant see the whole design up close, lesson learned for the next derby ;p Hope you guys enjoy either way!

You can always delete it (with the little red x) and resubmit using the right pic. You will not lose any votes if you do it right away.

Re: Weapon of mass disruption

Very disappointing. I thought we had a newcomer with mad chops, not someone who's subbed before using a fake name and canned images.

Re: The elusive TaMoko Kiwi

Yeah! Can't wait to sport my new Kiwi!

Re: Hanauma Bay

hey T, please let me know if you have this printed anywhere or if you are going to put it up in your shop. Loooooove it!

Re: The elusive TaMoko Kiwi

man, what a crazy derby, you sure did make things interesting for sure! then the dragon gets knocked out out! which blew my mind. never have seen a last second rejection before. congrats

Re: Weapon of mass disruption

Glad to see woot rejecting this because of the stock vectors (even if just because they couldn't authenticate). I never really saw the appeal of this one anyway, it's rise to the fog confused me a lot more than most. Hopefully woot will come down on stock vectors completely but I doubt it given how many they've already printed from the derbies.

and congrats to you! I've seen close ones before, and this may still turn out to be a tie, but wow, it was fun! I wasn't kidding when I said that I liked all of the top designs- I still believe that they would all make some fine shirts.

Re: Changing Waves

definately violates the whole no text thing tho.

Phsyron wrote:definately violates the whole no text thing tho.

But in this derby you could use text, just not have text the only thing in the design.

Backwards or not it still looks good.

Hahaha...ain't that the truth!

And the asphalt dragon one has been rejected, so this one is *definitely* printing! YAY! Can't wait to buy it!

I love your sketch!

Re: The Living Canvas

I haven't bought a shirt in months, and I was finally hoping to break the dry spell. But nooooooooo, people had to vote for that lumpy dodo bird, vector cliche, and those robots. Seriously man, I've been regretting not being able to get your shirts since the Survivor shirt. People just don't see the awesomeness. As long as you're gonna be designing, I'm gonna be right here, waiting and hoping that a Drakxxx will finally win!!!

Re: accidental tattoo

Is it sad that I don't get it?

re: pays the bills

I love it. hubby is a tattoo artist- I'd buy it in a heartbeat! thanks for the laugh

thats exactly what i was going for...something i myself wouldn't mind wearing...

Re: Weapon of mass disruption

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I loved this shirt

Not really. Humans are Humans. Think an Asian giving an American a chinese symbol tattoo. The robots in the picture are different, but they are both robots. So they speak a different language, think of it as different programming languages.

I guess you have to be a computer geek to get it

Manatees die most often from boat propellers. The ones that survive end up with scars from their cuts. At Sea World in Orlando the have a couple of dozen at any one time being treated and attempted to save.

Re: I Heart Your Mom

This needs to be printed. Are you going to put it up on another shirt printing site? I'll def. buy one if you do. Well done design, and I can't pass up a your mom joke. lol

This is fantastic. I'm amazed this didn't make it into the top 3. I demand a recount.

Re: b-INK-drop.

you totally got robbed...i would have bought 2 of these... sorry...good job though

Re: The Living Canvas

i am very upset that this shirt did not win...i so wanted to buy one...sorry great job...
