thanks, t'is a detail view

Re: Tribal Dragon!

I didn't think I'd like this shirt but it's growing on me. good work.

Re: Only the Good Die Young

As usual, I adore your lettering. GMV.

Re: Meagles

Maybe make the tails more rounded? Right now they look more like Reagles. Rat eagles.

Re: Everyone's got one right?

Dude you misspelled "tattoo" o_O

Re: Ink Me Up, Buttercup.

Definitely preferred the other tattoo, except perhaps the portion on her tricep-area.

Re: The Living Canvas

Excellent design, but too blue for my tastes. Feels like it needs a slight touch of warmth.

Re: Death Star

HEY LOOK... A STAR WARS DESIGN!!! QUICK VOTE!!

It's the Death Star.... get it?

Typical tattoo style design with a star wars theme... but not with the general star wars characters.

And now for a new weekly feature on my designs...

I am placing the over/under on this design at 50 votes.

Re: Yeah, thats what it really says.

Wait, okay, i know what this is riffing on, so I 'get it'.

But they're both robots? Or ones a computer and the other is a robot?

In either case, wouldn't binary be the 'language of both of their pepole'(bots?) I don't know.

Maybe I'm thinking too hard?

Ok, that makes sense.

Thanks!

Just because there is a hibiscus, or in general, a koi fish, or skull, doesn't make it on theme in my opinion. Yes it is a popular tattoo element, but I am sure you can find just about anything that has been used in real tattoo. I have nothing bad to say about the design itself. I actually think it is very well done, and vibrant with the color choices. But what do I know, my arse is gonna get rejected probably anyways.

re: merlin's prophecy

i like it.. but i think it would look better on a different color shirt.. maybe brown or white?

Re: The Living Canvas

Very well done, Drakxxx.

Re: The elusive TaMoko Kiwi

Nice, I like how you didn't just design the typical idea of a tattoo. Good job on interpreting the theme.

Re: The Patriot

Live Free or Die could be a good patriot tattoo also.

Re: Chameleons Don't Need Tattoos

love the style! Nice interpretation. You got my vote.

Re: The Living Canvas

stunning as always! I think this works much better on a t-shirt than some of your other more "movie poster"-esqe compositions. I especially like the soft inkblot behind the point of contact, provides a contrast and focal point to the flowing blue design

Re: Tramp Postage Stamp

Perfect.

GMV.

Re: I Heart Your Mom

Had a lot of fun working on this one. This is based on the style of Ed Hardy. I think woot needs a good your mom joke shirt... Hope you enjoy!

Re: Under the Fluff

Ok I just love this one. It is brilliant. I hope you are on your way to the fog my friend. My vote is yours.

I made the tails pointy so they could look like both tails and feathers. But thanks for the advice, I will give it a try and see how it looks.

mcosgrove wrote:If anyone finds this offensive, they are stupid and should seek clarification.

If it was a picture of the United States and said "Illiterate" over it, some people might find it offensive. Probably not violently offended - but why would you wear that shirt?

All that aside, I still say the joke's better if the characters are closer to a tattoo style and China's not in the design.

And this is my favourite robot design of the bunch so far.

Thanks, I think the fact that the robot one in the fog now is doing well, pretty much kills my votes. I wish I would have steered clear of the whole robot idea now.

*shakes fist* Woot community - you guys are far too hard to please.

xtinaftw wrote:Thanks homie! Mate? Are you from across the pond? Or just messing with my mind?

Hahah, I just saw a movie with a bunch of guys saying "mate".

Re: Hanauma Bay

it's Phil the octopus! i see him down there at Hanauma all the time. x]

very nice. definitely tattoo-y.

Re: friends

Very, very well done.

homesluice wrote:Man I'm not sure how flame would've worked out; the jpg does this a lot more justice I think than the comp

Kinda can't believe this doesn't have more votes;

is there anything anyone doesn't like about it or feels should be changed about it?

Re: The Living Canvas

This is kind of a typical idea of a tattoo, but it is well done. Keep it up!

jewelwing wrote:I HAVE THE SAME OBSESSION!!

Seriously, did you think I was going to pass of a chance to legitimately make some antiquey nautical stuff? No way man. My obsession would not allow it.

My girlfriend and I have the same obsession. I have wanted to get a tattoo of an anchor on my chest for over a year. I wish woot did v-necks because this shirt would be perfect as a V.

None the less, i hope you print. I love your style and love to support it.

Take care and Goodluck

P.S My reason for loving anchors is that they signify change, when you no longer want to be docked/grounded.

What about you?

tgentry wrote:Thanks JK. I really hope woot sees the "tattooness" of this, I've seen tats like this all over the place. The themes are all very common as are the colors and the flowy linework. I'm sure it's getting tattled on galore, but I stand by it as a "tattoo" and not just an illustration.

I'm not sure how many wooters spend time in tattoo parlors....

The top designs are mostly about tattooing not tattoos themselves so this is kind of a standout in that respect. Preferences may differ but in California this style is incredibly popular and it is every bit as much on topic as the biker tattoos. For that matter, the only thing that distinguishes Draxxx's (which is also on topic) from this is the gun.

I don't see woot rejecting but if you are really concerned I would resub and list your influences in the title (japanese/hawaiian/etc) and it should be perfectly fine.

Re: Hanauma Bay

Excellent color, I love it. I definitely saw the tattoo connection as well. GMV, hope it prints.

Ones a mac and ones a PC...

Re: Hanauma Bay

Excellent work, as usual. I hardly ever buy shirts anymore, but I'm in for one if it wins.

Re: Hanauma Bay

Very nice. The colors are great, too.

Re: Forsaking All Others

I hope the time you spent on this pays off.

Re: I Heart Your Mom

I've been waiting... so long for this one.
