Why, it's the mating dance of the Blue-footed bubi! His dancing looks awkward and ridiculous because "bubi" means "stupid fellow" in Spanish! Hooray!

Re: Dancing in the Rain

My favorite cute shirt ever on the site.

Re: Red Giant, White Dwarf.

My astronomy teacher would die of happiness if I wore this to class.

Re: Absent Friends

Cool shirt.

thank you :D I hope it has a better chance

Re: Salt and Pepper (resub)

I like this one, but I liked the original better. It made the point excellently, with the shakers made out of lines. This kinda messes up the meta-pointillism by having the shakers done in that style as well. =\

I still got some gummy bears, if you're interested. Haha. :P

Thanks bellarific!

How about some gummy worms?;)

Re: Sky City

I can see myself wearing this, so plus one vote.

Re: Absent Friends

Phew, took me a few minutes to find this thumbnail. I came HUNTING for this design today, because I think it's completely fabulous and I want to own it. And I want my boyfriend to own it as well so we can wear it everywhere we go.

Please win, little blobby guy with a suitcase and amiable family/friends.

Re: Sunflowers: Vase-sized photon sources

Yay, the literal sunflowers are back.

Re: I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.

While I really appreciate all the details you put into this, I feel like the overall piece looks sort of flat. I don't personally care for it, but I'm also not really familiar with this style of art. Was making it look.....sort of like cut outs of textures....intentional?

Re: Orbital Rendezvous

I wouldn't wear it as a shirt, but again, I really do love this design. You really did a fantastic job with the body language/positioning - love is definitely in the ... space!

Re: The Vampires are Playing Baseball

Vote for me, and all of your wildest dreams will come true.

Re: Land of the Rising Sunny Side

I loved it the first time, and I think I love it even more the second time around. GMV!

Re: Steamworks Operatica V.2

This shouldn't be in the fog right now.

Because it should have printed during the original derby instead of the schlock that didn't even fit the theme.

Re: Steamworks Operatica V.2

This is not typically the kind of stuff I'd wear on a shirt, so I always neglect to comment on your designs, and I've just realized that THAT is a complete travesty. You're extremely talented, Draxxx. I can tell from the love you put into these designs that you breathe art, which makes you the type that inspires other artists. Mucho respecto.

That this design was inspired by the works of Japanese pop artist Takashi Murakami?



Were You Aware?

That 36% (4 out of 11) of my derby entries to date involved characters wearing bowties?



Thank you Woot and voters for giving this a second chance!

No wonder it looked familiar! Good luck again omnitarian your air submission definitely has my vote! :D

Figure I"d go all out and post the detail pics again. Thanks so much for the support on this one so far guys, I've worked the hardest on this one by far, and I consider it my grand opus in a lot of respects.

I did not know that. I would much rather have the Red Giant/White Dwarf shirt than this one. I guess I just don't really "get it" with the bird dance. Oh well, it's early in the Derby yet.

Yellow, orange, pink, 2 blues, gray.

Re: Sakura Hanami v.2 Full Blossom

This is the full composition for anyone interested. *crosses fingers for a second time*

Re: Calling John Henry!

Sigh. This is the kind of stuff the derbies should be made of. It's fantastic, rglee. Really.

Re: Calling John Henry!

I love this one sir. Amazing concept and execution.

Re: Calling John Henry!

Yeah! Go John Henry!

Brilliant, sir! I knew this would do well.

Re: I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.

Good luck, voted for this last time and it's got my vote again. Like the comments above me, if it doesn't win this time, let us know where you'll be printing it!

I would die of happiness if it made it to printing. :D

And also, dancing is a traditional way in unlocking a woman's heart. Too bad I never had a set of the dancing keys. I guess I lucked out, or should I say locked out? Mwahahahahaha *sigh*

Re: I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.

GMV. As stated by others before me, I think the colour choices here really make this piece pop, and I like the intricacy of the detail.

Please, feel free to include me in your will, specifically your winnings here .

Re: Salt and Pepper (resub)

Still very clever. GMV.

Re: The Pressure Lessens

I like this better than all the current fogged shirts. I am certified as well, and I would wear this shirt. +1 vote from me.

Re: This one is done

Very appropriate, taking into the account the drama of the past derby.

kbgmaslow wrote:Nice shirt but it looks like too many colors ... or maybe it's just that I can't count.

(0_O)

No, I don't think it's more than 4 or 5 colors, it's just got a lot of halftone work. It would have been rejected last time around if it went over the limit of 6.

EDIT: Yeah, I think I see 5 colors total.

Very loose. Red Dwarf featured a snooker game involving planets, but I'm not sure about the marbles ...

What in the world is Snooker? :O

Edit: I looked it up...a little like pool? Or is it pool? And is it a popular game?

I love that they sparkle! Cracks me up! Great design.

Not in the States. It's more of a British thing.
