Only the three designs with the most votes at the end of the derby get printed, so the best way to get a shirt that you want is by voting for it (and convincing other people to vote as well)!

Re: Sakura by the cliff

I've never bought a shirt from woot cause I just got my first job and opened my bank account and got my debit card, but I really hope this makes it, cause I'd buy it hands down.

Now this is a winner... you people are ridiculous. its a great design. leave it there. im sure someone in japan knows what a spork is so theres how it relates.

great work you two! i love this one! keep up the awesomeness.

Re: The Crane's Return of Favor

It's really beautiful... But it's almost impossible to see/make out the drawing

I guess you were limited to color choice, but the crane doesn't really show :S

Re: Toro Nagashi

Cool design, but personally, I think the design should cross the shirt, rather than going straight down the center.

Re: Tanuki and his Nuts

A different take on the Japanese Tanuki. Japanese text says "Large Nuts".

Brilliant design yet again. GMV

So because someone in Japan knows what a spork is, this is Japanese?!?!

Sorry artists. I can't not say anything to people like this who try, pathetically, to defend the shirt.

大好き = I love

愛 is also love, but it is a noun

私 is a form of "I" but you're missing the right part of the kanji :\

龍 is dragon (chinese style)....... >_> ...

Well his last character can be used in the word lantern but he left off the first character piece of the two character word for it that actually means lantern. The last part is more cage or box in meaning. As for you Chinese comment all Kanji is "Chinese style" since they are borrowed Chinese characters.

Re: I am Ninja...

I also like the simplicity of the shirt; however, instead of a white shirt you should have done exactly what you did in the preview. I think it would have been a lot nicer on an asphalt shirt with the border you have around it in the close up.

Re: Japan Fan

Please let this be the week you get into the fog!!! I love your shirts and want one SO bad! Love the way this shirt turned out. GMV and good luck!

that would also be a joke... sorry i didnt clarify... geez everyones a critic

Re: Sakura by the cliff

This is such a beautiful shirt!
Awesome creativity here

It is sad his nuts got cut off. But yeah...I have a tanuki lighter that has the big belly and small sac, so I guess you have to take what you can get. The guys in the store fronts of Kyoto, though...wow...just wow...

Oh wow! I picked up this story in picture book form when I was in Okinawa! The design of the characters are almost the exact same. I wanna buy it just for the fond memories!

Re: Cardiovascular Training

@JesseBYAH: cheers, I'm excited to see how the bag printed too.

@untermeiter: thanks!

Re: Bunka

sweet design, great colors too!

Re: Cute Bento

That's adorable. ^_^

I agree, perhaps they will resubmit?

Re: Folded Flight

I love it!

Hey Thanks ! And yes I do love lanterns ! Good to see you back ~hadn't seen you in a while ~

I'm so glad we had this time together, just to have a laugh and sing a song. Seem like we only just got started when the time comes to say so long.

Thanks !! I appreciate that !

Re: Cute Bento

This is really cute, but I'm seeing more than 6 colors..? (I count 10, but maybe I'm wrong?)

sticklink wrote:No, it's an actual story from Japanese culture. I was just saying that the game taught me about it :P

Yes, this was a "real" myth (ironic, right?) long before it was in Okami.

I LOVE that coral base. Awesome. Editor's choice at the very least, I hope.

Re: Kamikaze

I like it but I think it would look better if it were less boxy on the shirt and just left open. Does that make sense?

Re: 7th Samurai

It needs to be on a shirt comp or it will be rejected.

Re: Urashima Tarō the Time-Traveler

Wow...you did such a great job on this.

Re: Baby Monsters

Wasn't this idea already done in the architecture derby? Or maybe it was your design and this is just a new interpretation?

mikan36 wrote:This is really cute, but I'm seeing more than 6 colors..? (I count 10, but maybe I'm wrong?)

I was wondering this too. Do they allow screened back pantones in the derby?

okay...there isn't any King Kong in your idea and they are knocking it down instead of building it up in this one, so it's probably different enough. ???

Re: flying home (version 2)

I'm going to be making cranes all day at work when it's slow now

What software are you using? There are some free open source programs you can download, if you want to give them a try.

Inkscape is what I would recommend. It is an open source (free) vector based program (no pixels), which resembles Adobe Illustrator.
www.inkscape.org

Gimp is also available at no cost. It is a raster based program (pixels), which resembles Adobe Photoshop.
www.gimp.org

Neither is as good as the Adobe version, but both are worlds better than anything else you are going to find for free.

It is definitely boxy. Do you think removing the white would make it look better? My original plan was to have to cut a portion of the flag off along the top and bottom, and have the design be more of a band across the middle, as opposed to the box it is now.

Love this! Hilarious!

Re: Sumo-oke, sung from the heart

Love this! Hilarious!

I could be wrong, but I know that's the Chinese kanji for dragon... isn't there a separate one in Japanese?

Re: Grace

Really like this. Beautiful design. GMV

Re: The Samurai and the Sea Dragon

Actually, this kinda reminds me of Samurai Jack.
