Re: Fresh cake!

So much is done with so little here. Great design!

what would this even be a picture of if it weren't for the text? some sort of green blob smiling.

the text -makes- it.

Re: u can't haz this v2

It was suggested that we resub with a new thumbnail since it wasn't showing enough of the design, so we made some minor tweaks and put it back up

this is clever and funny to a degree that had it been submitted by a "well-known" artist, it would have been in the fog by now.

Re: Visit Kawaii

Good job Ms. Loop.

Where you don't need hands to hula...or to play the ukulele apparently (though one wonders if he does it *well*).

Such a great idea! ;) I will take one please. So please WIN!! <3

But doesn't this split your votes? :-(

this shirt, so others here will, too.

Why because we both have angry birds? This would mean you could never make a shirt with an angry bird on it.... I honestly think it is nothing like that shirt, and I hope others don't as well...

Re: Viral Kawaii

This is very cute! ...especially the contagious part.

look up pretty much any word on urban dictionary...and you'll find some offensive "meaning".

i had no idea what a taco party is, and still don't. i'm pretty sure most of the educated world wouldn't use urban dictionary to get their information from.

Re: Love me!

hehe, who doesn't love kittens?

Re: Harmless

I don't usually post, but I wanted to defend ramyb.

I've been a fan of ramyb's work for sometime now. My fiancee and I buy every shirt they ramyb makes with a bunny on it that woot sells. We love bunnies, we have 3 of our own and I am excited to see a new bunny shirt. Frankly, I love this shirt design, and I get it.

If you've ever owned a rabbit, you know how tricky they can be. You know behind those cute little eyes that they are planning something. To me, ramyb captures that. I also think his bunnies are totally adorable and are very well drawn. I actually get very excited when I see ramyb's art in the derby.

I do already own the "You gotta try this shirt," but I want this one too. To me, they are different. If I like it, I am willing to buy it. I don't think ramyb takes the spot of a better shirt, I think if there were a better shirt, people would vote for it.

I dunno, just my two cents. As an artist and a bunny owner, I get what ramyb is accomplishing here.

Oh yes, heaven forbid ramyb or seki get less votes for the onslaught of shirt designs they've put up together. -_-;

I love that two shirts for an artist is considered an onslaught, especially when one of those artists hasn't entered in 18 weeks.

Anyway, the original will be coming down soon so hopefully vote splitting won't be an issue

Re: Ensign Ricky Goes Away... (Final)

I see what looks like a small piece of the grim reaper guy on the right of the shirt. his hand maybe?

Thanks for the link! Made me laugh :D Now I wish I had known about that cartoon...

Re: Don't Tread on Me!

I love this shirt! When I was little, I thought that EVERYTHING had feelings, and so I felt bad when I was walking on stuff because I wouldn't have liked to be walked on! Anyways, super cute!

Even if I take someone's idea and put it in my own words, it is plagiarism if I do not give credit to the person I got the idea from or have a specific artistic reason for doing so (like using a famous line from a Shakespearean play in a piece of literature). I grasp onto the word because I understand what it means. If I wanted to be dramatic, I would say, "This thieving criminal weaseled into the shirt world and highjacked another designer's idea with the help of the Illuminati." You have been here a couple months which means you didn't see the two previous shirts (one of them above) that have already been submitted (one printed). If you don't see this as plagiarism, i.e.: taking another person's idea and claiming it as your own without any artistic commentary for doing so, then you don't. But don't call me dramatic because you think it's dramatic to do so.

You should probably also change your name and spell things properly if you want your attempts at intellectual arguments taken seriously.

did thye use the exact same image from the other shirt and try to pass it off as their own? NO

did they use the exact same idea from the other shirt and try to pass it off as their own? NO, they have the same general concept, which is an homage to the movie im assuming, but his idea is a bit different.
this artist wanted to portray the bunny large in the foreground so that from far away all you see is this cute bunny with the words come closer, then when you get closer you notice the blood and skeleton and the smaller text. that is completely different than the other shirt which just has one bunny who has eaten meat and three other bunnies who are eating carrots.
so this is not plagiarism. he did not steal the image, nor even the exact idea. sure they are all the same general concept, but by no means is this plagiarism. you assume this artist intentially went and looked at the other shirt and thought., "i will steal this idea and make a profit from it! mwahahahahaahaha!" you also assume that just because my account here is only for a few months that i havnt been to this site before hand. i have seen the other shirt. you also assume because i like having a funny screen name and because i make spelling errors that i am unintelligent, you would be wrong again.
you do not have enough information to be accusing this artist of plagiarism. how do you know they didnt have this design done years ago and just decided to submit it now? did you ask in a polite manner? did you even maybe pm them in a respectful way to tell them that their shirt is like other shirts? no you rudely commented on their submission accusing them of plagiarising. this is what i have a problem with. you could have handled this with some class, but instead you were rude and disrespectful to the artist.

Re: Harmless

This shirts ok, but your other one in the derby is amazing!

And I fail to see how you plagiarized this... I guess it's just cool to hate.

Re: Viral Kawaii

Yes! Cuteness kills.

Re: Robot vs Unicorn

This is pretty fabulous.

Re: I HATE being...

I'm not even sure if it's funny, but for some reason it made me laugh. Well done.

BootsBoots wrote:Are those virus plushies? Amazing!

Yerp, we have about 50 of them hanging around our research lab. My favorites are the chicken pox and flesh eating virus =3

Re: Rainbow refiller

I really like the little bits of texture you put in there. The colors are great too.

marzipanapple wrote:Okay, so this is my serious (somewhat) entry. Originally it was going to have a bunch of dotted bunnies lined up on the shirt (implying mass-producing...implying cookie cutter) but in the end, I decided I already have a 'wry' shirt in the works. So instead, I went for cute, but also (hopefully) interesting/creative.

But feel free to tell me if you don't think so. ;) Just also lemme know how I can make it better!

Edit: It says at the top, "Recycle me when I'm old! Cut the outline and sew me together!" (Also, I'll bet you can use the rest of the t-shirt to stuff him!)

Really creative idea. I love it.

Edit: Where are your puking unicorns? I loved that one HARD.

Re: I Love Milk

Neat.

Re: Viral Kawaii

Excellent, Boots! D: You made them so candy-like!
