Caped crusader is that really a picture of you?


(Your artwork is so awesome I was picturing someone quite a bit older, and maybe wearing a cowl!...you know, driving a black car...living in a cave...)...and why are there 2 of you? A mystery!!!!!

You guys are cray-Zeee!

Re: Sherlock Holmes/20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

This is really cool. I skipped over this one because the detail thumbnail didn't look that interesting. i'm glad i finally clicked. GMV

Re: Hey Diddle Diddle in the Book of Life

I really like this shirt, but it seems ink heavy, and I can really see some issues that could pop up during the printing.

The style also reminds me of 1984 B.C. from the Ancient Egypt Derby. I don't know how that printed though...

My first entry.... ever

Okay... I'll figure this out yet.

NOT THE LLAMA!!!!! :O

HI Gorosaurus! Excellent picture...sooo good for a first entry, one thing you seem to have more than 6 colors and only six colors are allowed,if you have time to pare them down and resubmit thats the best way...
otherwise it won't be allowed.
BUT!!!
Very excellent concept and drawing , congratulations on your 1st entry!

Re: A Novel Idea

I would totally rock this!

Here are the instructions

As for the shirt: It looks SO much better with more color. Really makes it pop.

Thank you very much, I appreciate your feedback! I will see about getting the colors in order. Is there a process to resubmitting something?

I'm only just now seeing how people go about these contests. Very interesting stuff!


Oh, and this is the link to this original entry. I'll play with it more tomorrow then

Your style is very amusing and aesthetically appealing.
Hooraay for good quality late entries!

Hi Gorosaurus! Just go ahead and fix that pesky color issue, resubmit your new entry, then you can click on the red X next to your old too many color entry within 24 hours and it will be removed...good luck, hope to see your newer version, sorry you have to go through that!

Re: Sherlock Holmes/20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

This looks great guys.

I passed right by this too. I agree, the thumb could be better and is a pretty important aspect of derbying. Maybe something like the closeup in the comp would've been better.

Either way, I hope to see you two enter more often. And you'd better get an HM for this. It's very much Woot's style.

This is so great! I love it.

Re: A Novel Idea

Perfect . . . Enough characters that the shirt feels less restricted in a way.

I didn't realize how good this one was. The thumbnail gave me a different impression. But whatever, gmv now.

Re: We're not in Kansas anymore...(Version 2)

Thanks everyone!

I can't see myself doing it, but if I do - I'll post something here. Glad you dig it.

Re: Hey Diddle Diddle in the Book of Life

I'm absolutely in love with this. Awesome job!

Does the Woot Community look down on that? I would genuinely rather be in everyone's good graces so I can actually win one of these derbies (a personal dream) than sell a few shirts on CafePress or whatever.

What's the general sentiment?

Re: The Strange Musician / Five Weeks in a Balloon

This is gorgeous. And peaceful. And I'd wear it, even though I...well, let's just say I don't look my best in yellow. But I'd manage: "Makeup!"

Re: The Jungle Book / The Island of Dr Moreau

I know it's really late in the game, but if I hadn't sketched Bagheera out...well...you know. This derby is turning into my crack.

Re: Romeo and Juliet/Humpty Dumpty

nice...love all the blues.

Re: We're not in Kansas anymore...(Version 2)

Love it! The illustration is tight as hell and I love the composition. Nice job!!

Re: The Jungle Book / The Island of Dr Moreau

Re: Le Morte d'Arthur / The Wizard of Oz

Re: The Jungle Book / The Island of Dr Moreau

WOW! Love the illustration and the border.

Re: poems of the sea

Love the layout and the character design.

Re: THE CALL OF CTHULHU / MOBY homeskillet

Thanks man! Happy Belated and I hope this gets printed, as I have no H.P. Lovecraft tees what-so-ever and this is just bad ass!

Re: Le Morte d'Arthur / The Wizard of Oz

Re: The Jungle Book / The Island of Dr Moreau

Seconded, great job.

Lots of artists here have cafe press stores or the equivalent. Woot doesn't care as long as you don't sub something that you had in a store or you print it before the 60 days is up on their rights holding if it was in a derby first.

Re: The Metamorphosis/The Picture of Dorian Gray

“I've always wanted you to admire my t-shirts”

awesome mashup!

Re: The Jungle Book / The Island of Dr Moreau

Woah...it took a second for me to see the Moreau reference, but once I did it was eerie. Nice work! This has a really creep vibe to it...just like Dr. Moreau.

Re: Cthulhu Hatter

I rather like this.

Re: Don't drop the ball!

This design was by request. A centaur tickling Atlas...Just don't drop the ball!

Re: Sherlock Holmes/20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

Thanks for the kind words, I have to admit it was my choice to go with the Watson/Tentacle thumb. I was hoping it would act as a teaser without revealing the bigger joke, but looks like it has backfired. We'll keep that in mind for later entries.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=41324]A Tale of 2 Cities of War

I would very much like to see this printed...just thought I'd point that out

Re: Treasure Beanstalk (Re-up)

Alright! Got the new one up and ready, with only 6 colors. I'm guessing that black and white would count as part of that, so I had to do a lot of thinking... Probably a stronger piece now!


Comments, suggestions much appreciated! I think I'm starting to figure things out a little better. Thank you for all votes and criticism!

This is a very cool shirt. Never read either of the books but i think u did a really good job with it. Will definately be tempted to buy if it makes the final three and the style is very clean and clear.

Re: D.QUIXOTE X FRANKENSTEIN

Not to put it down, but at a glance Don's head placement threw me off and it kinda looked like Frank was getting some somethin somethin, but then on second glance it was clear. Well done
