I enjoy looking at this as well.

Thanks! I SO wanted more than six colors for this, but got a decent Saturn look from halftones. (Chose my six colors out of a violet-pink gradient and a pink-yellow gradient.) And I've learned to show my half-tone work when I use them.

The wood grain is superb.

As others have said/implied, Woot doesn't like woot-references in the derby. Also, the Heather Gray T-shirt would need to be on the special Heather Gray template.

Re: Shirts (redux)

I think your yellow is actually orange (which is okay). I would have preferred if you'd actually drawn your own interpretation of a T-shirt instead of just pasting in smaller and smaller copies of the template.

I think it was altered....so maybe the copyright doesn't count. Her dress is longer and her hair looks different.

I'm pretty sure that this was rejected last week because of the Morton girl - although this one is less similar than the one from last week, it still might be "too similar".

I think this shirt is very clever. It is just hard to tell that it is a snail driving the car. At first I thought it was a hand doing the peace sign.

This is amazing!! I want this.

Re: seven seagulls at sunset

Beautiful. And I won't quibble over the surreptitious seventh seagull off screen.

This is hysterical. I hope more people vote on this. Great Job!

Two words. Internal consistency.

Every good cartoonist in existence is internally consistent. They make stylistic changes and often things are grossly different from reality (your Bugs Bunny example), but their style is consistent throughout the design. That's the problem here. That's why the tail is an issue. If both tails are small that is a stylistic choice. Changing proportions is just sloppy.

What do you get when you cross a zebra with a rhinoceros ... with a shamrock?
Nice job.

Re: Deep Blue Space

Wicked. :D

Well hopefully it stays. Still very funny. X)

Re: Sullen Slide

I remember this! And I still love it!

Re: Still-life in Stone

That ... is ... hilarious. Voted.

much more appeal by far

Re: Steamrolled

I really, really dig this shirt, boots! I have too many shirts as it is, but I might have a hard time passing this one up.

But ... I like the colors.

Re: Deep Blue Space

UHM I REALLY REALLY want one of these..even if it doesn't win WHICH IT SHOULD. but anyway.

Re: Strongman

Okay, the guy is strong--but the bunny's a bleepin' mutant! Do not get on this bunny's bad side!

Luckily, the bunny looks very affable and may not have a bad side. Here's hoping.

actually, this is the variety. usually you have a centered cartoon on a shirt, usually related to the theme on top. it is usually irrelevant what "formula" the shirt follows though, if its good its good, but of course, tastes are like buttoxes.

Re: Salty Sea Snack (On Black)

Dear God I want one! Here's to hoping....

Some previous designs of yours I have enjoyed - ie, the Pinocchio table (one of my favourites!), and the forbidden tomato/ketchup romance - haven't fared as well with the voting crowd here as others, and I wonder if it was perhaps because of the "joke" element?

I LOVED the Pinocchio shirt and was (and still am) so sad it didn't print. I had told everyone I know about and they all thought it was an awesome concept.

Re: The Salamander Swashbuckler and his Snail Sidekick

this is acceptable for my body

Re: this gets lemon juice in the eye

It's colorful, but when all is said and done, you are asking people to have woot print a vacuum cleaner on a tshirt. Not something I would care to wear.

MadamAtom wrote:But ... I like the colors.

I do as well. The brown shades look awesome on this, and as another commenter mentioned, the dusty brown palette is pitch perfect for a feudal Japan theme. I honestly don't think any other color scheme would have worked nearly as well.

Excellent work as always gentlemen.

Gradients - it's going to get rejected.

Re: SAMURAI SHOWDOWN

Reminds me of kdeuce's Samurai print.

DianaSprinkle wrote:Also with their eyes as black dots you can make them into a Stereogram. Where you un-focus your eyes and then overlap the images. It's pretty cool because when you do that it creates a third cat in the center that looks like it's sitting. My friend pointed it out to me. Very odd.

The white highlights don't quite match up for that!

I like the design. Simple and effective.

Re: Simple Solid Shirt

Subtle, stylish, sophisticated

Re: Single Stormcloud Soaking Someone when Suddenly...

I always love the monsters and overall illustration on your pieces, but they just don't feel right on the shirt (to me). It's like the background (usually just the shirt color) is lacking or not appropriate.

darel wrote:Sure! I'm thinking of completing the whole set of characters, will try some place that will accommodate more colours.

Please leave it as it is! It's the pure simplicity and uncluttered-ness that makes this shirt as awesome as it is.

REALLY hope this prints...

Re: The Salamander Swashbuckler and his Snail Sidekick

I'd like to comment on this design ...

However, I just keep finding myself far too distracted by the dead sexy mouth on your t-shirt model!

this is a cute shirt! =]

AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Re: Deep Blue Space

This totally makes me think of Farscape and the colours are AWESOME!

The Derbies so need more purple!
