Re: Tiger Conquers Time (Resub)

I hate to say it, but man, that looks like Tony the Tiger.

Re: Tiger Conquers Time (Resub)

Ah, nevermind about the Zodiac thing though, I know you used a tiger, and that in itself makes it on theme. I still like it

paigeg wrote:Still lovin' this, but agree with the others on the black - try a resub on a lighter shirt? That pair of scissors is pretty important to the humor of the design...

i think either way they'll be difficult to spot... on a light shirt the blades blend in and on a dark shirt the handle blends in. i like it better on black than white because it makes the red look better, and because a black shirt is harder to stain. :p

This is FANTASTIC.

Unbelievably clever concept, and great execution.

GMV, and I'm absolutely picking one up if it wins.

Re: metal MONKEY

Metal Monkey, black ink over woot asphalt tee.

Re: The Zodiac Emperor

This is AWESOME! Voted.

This is all kinds of subversive and hilarious.

I don't think you're the only one who gets that joke.

Agreed. If they wanted to see new things, they should go be an oceanographer or an astronaut or go join the Navy. I mean, c'mon, the world is already mapped, people! Seriously.

Awesome place mat! Reminds me of the Chinese restaurant I used to eat at all the time.

Lol! I'm such a fool.

Re: An Ox in a China Shop

Great illo, the energy and expression conveyed is spot on. The blue does seem a tad strong but nice work man.

Griffin may be specific, but that specific is not Chinese. Chimera isn't Chinese, either.
I'd never heard of a Chimera before. When I was first exposed to a Gryphon / Griffin, it was a beast with the head of an eagle, the body of a lion and the tail of a snake. This isn't exactly that, but it isn't exactly a Chimera either. But then, legends and myths vary by region, but eventually people start calling them the same thing. (Check out the various things that are called "vampires" some day.)

And there is no way in ... *ahem* No, I'd rather not have added purple. I would have liked to have added hair, especially to the rat face, but Mom needed a driver to run errands.

And a good sport as well. You handled that tomato thrown at you with grace and style.

fabiofranca wrote:It is red. Maybe color correction problem on the brownser.
I should have converted the colors to the good profile.
The basic objective is to have darker red over red tee. I know it is dicreet but I like when it is.

Unfortunately, it is because it is discrete that it may not print well. Woot does better with noticeable contrasts rather than muted ones.

Re: Anne Geddes' Zodiacs

My god this is adorable.

Re: Calligraphic Zodiac

I love the brushstrokes used, you've depicted the animals simply but the effect is really great.

Re: The Lineup

Woot has recently been rejecting shirts on gray that do not show the heather texture. Recommend you try to find a template showing that and resubmitting.

I get the mad cow disease and the swine flu; what are the other animals "accused" of?

Re: Imaginary

I absolutely love the style of the dragon and I deff want to give it a hug. Love it.

Re: Year of the Place Mat

Awesome! - the little begging dog is seriously so cute and perfect!

Re: Zodiac Master

Wow Boots! You are brilliant!! I don't think there are very many shirts that make sense but they sure make great art . . this is one of 'em!!! great job on this!

Re: Year of the Place Mat

I love the nice touch of the tiger and the dragon conflicting over the top spot on trhe rice bowl . . . .Great job!

Re: Lantern Lights

I just return for say...awesome collab! you need to do it more offend

Congrats Jasneko, and Bassa

I'm thinking chicken pox, rabies... the rat I'm not sure but Hantavirus comes to mind.

Re: Year of the Place Mat

Haha, I love this. The exchange between the dragon and tiger is hilarious.

Re: Yin Yang Horses

it got my vote. very nicely done.

Re: Tiger Conquers Time (Resub)

You still have roman numerals going around the clock, even if it is just the I. I think it'd look fine without them.

Bubonic plague, anyone?

Re: Robot Monkey And Tiger

The design looks as if it's cut off from the rest of the shirt(I know that sounds weird but lemme explain). If the disc of yellow weren't there, it might be different.. As it stands, it's a big distraction and seems to overpower the spotlights in the back. I think it would've been hella better with just the red ring (because obviously it helps explain where they are) and then the spotlights. Perhaps even two yellow circles on each character emphasizing the spotlights. Maybe even a few circus props (a ball/ladder) laying around, but that might be too much. The two characters look awesome though. You have a great eye for detail.

Re: Ooodsy Booboo! Who's a cute little Zodiac? resub

Hahahah, I love this!! Great creativity

Re: The Zodiac Emperor

Hella scary and somehow extremely alluring. GMV

Re: Sullen

i'd be the first one to buy it if it wins

standard888 wrote:But this has nothing to do with the Chinese zodiac. Sure, cash in on kitsch and ride Piggly Wiggly's coattails to woot immortality, but this has nothing to do with the theme.

To be fair, it doesn't have to be about the Chinese Zodiac. You just have to use an animal that happens to be in the Chinese Zodiac. At least that's how I read it.

Thanks! I hate soggy cereal too. Maybe that is a different shirt idea :P

Re: 100% Wool

I love how you draw, Walz. Just too cute.

Re: Year of the Place Mat

Very, very nice.

Re: 2012: A Collision of Calendars

The most refreshingly original concept I've seen on shirt.woot yet. Great Job!

Although I want one of these, I wondered why you used the image of the pyramid of Chichen Itza to represent the Mayan calendar? Although the pyamid is believed to be an astronomical observatory and 12 month tracker, it is the Mayan calendar round (seen below) that has sparked the 2012 "end of time" controversy. I would have liked to have seen the dragon's tail trying to crush one of these.

monkeyswag wrote:I hate to say it, but man, that looks like Tony the Tiger.

Yeah, it's supposed to be. Woot's rules seem shady and sporadic on using the likeness of trademarked characters, but yesterday's shirt featured silhouetted characters so I'm hoping it's ok. We'll see if I get rejected or not.

Reawen wrote:What makes it slightly incomplete to me is the lack of land. Since the animals were crossing the river, I think a hint of land (a coast) on the far side would give it a nice reference point.

That said, I still really like it without, and if this prints I plan to buy it even though I'm not a fan of white shirts.

This is something I would have done, would help to anchor the design down. I guess it's a tad late now but thanks anyway!
