And I agree with this person agreeing with the other person. I thought the same but didn't want to bring it up but I do think the bottom line is unnecessary and maybe a bit anti-climatic after seeing the picture and laughing. But regardless, its still fantastic and I imagine it will make it.

Re: MORDOR NATIONAL PARK

I had a feeling this one would get rejected. Regardless, great job on the art work.

Re: Thanks Dad. This is great!

This is so true and the layout is superb.
So many good entries this week!

Re: Redundancy National Park

This shirt makes me laugh. And want to buy it. And laugh.

Re: A Proper Burial

this shirt rocks! i'm going to buy 10!

Re: The Last Park

Sometime in the future... The whole world's gone urban. Here's all that's left of our national parks.

Seconded. Word for word.

Re: Campfire Tales

When did woot allow animated .gifs for their design detail views? cool!

Re: The Last Park

I like the idea but this feels too much like a city park and a comment on urbanization than a national park design.

If Patrick's Mordor shirt got rejected, then this should be rejected too :X

Same concept... Same 'landmarks', too.

If they are going to reject this, a dangerous concoction should have had a swift Sunday rejection as well last week.

How do you make that connection? You can argue it was off topic all you want but it surely wasn't blatant copyright infringement.

Anyway your artwork is great patrick, I look forward to seeing some of your non-pandering entries in derbies to come.

Re: A Heavenly Little Hike

This reminds me of what I've felt like here this last summer at Everglades National Park.

Re: Thanks Dad. This is great!

It's funny, 'cause it's true.

I was really torn on whether to add the bottom line or not. Could have used some opinions on that, but there wasn't any time after I stayed up all night to finish it. If it's not your thing, well, the type is small so most people passing by won't get a chance to read it anyways.

They're not bears, but, yes, bears do eat grass. Not sure if they eat all kinds of grasses, but sure that they do eat some.

Oh, no - this doesn't look anything like this one:

Firstly...Ramy, I think this is a nice change(coincidentally a 'breath of fresh air'?). It's nice to see you not rely on 'cute' to get you through. The colors are very *you* (contrasty) but different as well somehow. The similar shirt in question looks really close, but hopefully the detail/subject matter will make the difference.

Anyway, in response to that quote up there...a lot of shirts use negative space(specifically, trees) to make up the rest of their image. Are you going to say they are like this one too? I just don't see how several smooth jungle trees(complete with animals) is the same as a very branch-y tree implying lungs. :\

But if all the plants were gone then whatever was left would become a national park. The government isn't going to let one city has the whole thing for themselves.

It is a comment on urbanization tho.

Re: A Breath of Fresh Air

It reminds me of The Devil's in the Details, but less ominous. For the record, I'm not saying is similar enough to cause rejection, I'm just saying that's what it reminded me of.

It's pretty, and I like the blue on a brown shirt, but I have to say that the lung placement might be a deal-breaker as far as me wearing it.

Re: Thanks Dad. This is great!

Hahaha, oh my god.

PLEASE win. I have never wanted a shirt so badly in my life.

That would be the Arctic. No polar bears in Antarctica.

thanks stranger. thanks to everyone who supports me.

Re: It wasn't me

What's the mark above the eye on the one on the left?

Re: Campfire Tales

Adorable. I love the use of the shirt color and I really love the crudely drawn park ranger. Great work.

Re: Gummistone Park

I would love a green shirt and this design is full of win. GMV!

Re: Gummistone Park

Yes!

Thanks linda! Glad you like the changes - your feedback was good... I think it came out much better.

Re: Our Newest Park!

I agree with everyone. The text is what I noticed and made me go "wow"!

Re: Yodel-ay-ee-ooooo

I really hope this wins. It's just great.

Re: MORDOR NATIONAL PARK

C'mon Woot, let's be consistent. This gets rejected, so should this one: http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=35830

Re: Luna Park

I love this. It feels like a t-shirt you would be so incredibly happy to score in a goodwill.

SailorButterfly wrote:C'mon Woot, let's be consistent. This gets rejected, so should this one: http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=35830

I agree- what is okay about that one but not about the one patrick did? And if he changed the eye, would that do the trick? Anyone know what the rules are?

I don't understand why people leave the comment "nice, but I wouldn't wear it". Saying "I wouldn't wear it, but good job" has a bad sportsman ring to it. Sorta like "good game, loser". Say, "the composition is wrong" or "your color scheme is off" or "I'd like to see it on a different color shirt" or some other type of constructive critism instead of just blowing off hot air.

the park ranger is awesome

i feel like this fits the theme a little more though. even though that's not why it got rejected. this one has more of the park advertisement feel.

4 rejections so far and this one is still going, so far so good.

Re: Joshua Tree Sunset

kinda neat but i dont see it as on topic.

bulging veins in the temple. = furious.
