Shirt.Woot

If someone would make a shirt blatantly filled with kittens, pumpkins, cute animals, video game references, and all the other nightmarish things everyone dislikes... I would vote...

I happen to be very afraid of bunnies.

I was all set for the dreaded "W" theme. Whatever shall I do now?

How about Wabbits...

I am disturbed that Adder seems to be such a common appearance in people's nightmares.

Oh, man. While I don't have any clever ideas, I do have plenty nightmares!

Ants.
Ants and bees.

Bees pouring out of a woman's open mouth or ants nesting on the front of a shirt.

I can't guarantee that I'd want to VOTE for either of those ideas though. Kind of that same way I felt about "Flu like symptoms".

rainbow kittens. It has to be rainbow kittens!

Not my nightmares, hes in my good dreams... handing out fee bunnies and kittens with huge sparkly eyes.

Or not... Still he does bring a scary good sense of art and shirt design to the table, I guess that could scare some artists.

A little text here and there is not a terrible thing. I'm not crazy about the perminent ban of no words.
I think I will love this derby.

Actually that terrifies me. LOL

So if an owl eats one of those kittens, what color does it vomit up?

I'm sure it'd look like the shirt "Finding Technicolor"

I really hope it doesn't end up being "insider joke kittens and chibi and video games are nightmares" kind of derby. But there's no stopping it if it will be. It'll be funny to see some, but it's such a great theme (almost too awesome and too broad) that it doesn't need the typical woot stuff.

I think it would make a really fun side-plot...

somethin' brewin'......

Tons of stuff going on, but I'll try a go if I can muster some time up. I have an idea that some will probably view is cliché, but maybe I can make it look neat.

My own personal nightmares dont make a lot of sense..there was broccoli ice cream and water slides in one... And a giant sculpture of Saturn in the middle of an old town, that at midnight, little freaky brain monsters came out of...

Told you, they dont make a lot of sense ^^.

As for the 'same-ness' possibilities, some tropes make good shirts. I am seriously looking forward to this though, should be neat!

Every time I see your screen name, I do a double take because I think it's mine.

*sigh*

Xazy... Know you said you were out but PM'd you anyway.

:D

Give me one, 'cause I don't have any!

Pweeeeeeeeeeeeeze??

Although I am limited in what I can do well. Most ideas don't seem to fit with my style(s).

In my research, I found out that mare = female horse or zebra...

I plan on making a zebra out of the stars in the nighttime sky... does anyone think that would be too obscure...?

Mario's nightmare of plants.
Link's nightmare of Ganon.
Pac-man's nightmare of ghosts.
q-bert's nightmare of coiled snakes.

Those would all be funnier in reverse, lol.

What about a zombie kitten sticking out of a pumpkin? Is that square root of negative cute?

geekfactor12 wrote:Those would all be funnier in reverse, lol.

Yeah, Pac-man is pretty freaky when you think about it that way.

I had nightmares that PacMan was waiting outside all the doors and windows in my house. If anyone stepped outside, he'd eat them.

I was 5...but it was still pretty scary!

Someone will probably do a parody of Fuseli's The Nightmare only with a sleeping artist disturbed by a Chibli Kitty-Cat.

Completely agree. And even the black paintings he may not have done. Still fantastic.

I think Edgar could pull some amazing stuff here. And Boots if she goes back to creepy like I've been sycophantically begging her to.

PMed you.

Of course, the first thing that came to mind was the book by Piers Anthony...

Me too... I wonder how many night horses we're going to get.

SkekTek wrote:Of course, the first thing that came to mind was the book by Piers Anthony...

Ditto. One of my favorites, before the series turned into pre-teen fawning.

Maybe a nightmare-Imbri looking into a mirror and seeing the daymare-Imbri reflection? Hard to pull off, maybe...

Please Lord give us some designs this week not having to do with zombies, skulls and death. I know that's a lot to ask around here, but please have something more creative and less predictable.

Isn't nightmare a pokemon?

I swear there's a flaming horse from SOME video game called Nightmare.

*think* *think*

If you do a horse instead of a zebra I think it would be just obscure enough that it would take someone a minute or so to get--a.k.a. obscurity sweet spot. I think most people would probably associate a mare with a horse rather than a zebra. Sounds like a great idea!

I think a Zebra would be just fine.

EDIT: Ack! Never mind, I read my research wrong.

What are the odds that Drakxxx will come up with a kickass design that finishes 4th to a trio of designs featuring a kitten weeping over a bad dream, a bunch of random swirls coming out of someone's head, and a splotch that vaguely resembles a skull?

All too true...all too sad.

Replace that last one with a video game reference, or a squirrel being haunted by giant acorn monsters, and you've got yourself a deal.

Anyway, I have a cool idea for this derby... not sure whether to 'claim' it here or develop it in secret. Then again I did already tweet about it ... :P

I think that's in Magic: The Gathering

It may be in videogames (in fact I would bet on it) but a nightmare is a flaming horse in mythology. I believe black with fangs, talon like hoofs flaming mane/tail/eyes.
