Re: Served Fresh_Never Frozen

Oh, man, you ended up with a great title for this. Nice! GMV!

Cheezburger is public domain. This one may be considered parodied enough to slide. The C&H was blatant theft.

Re: Ancient Meme

The design rocks, and I am a fan. But, this is pretty 'shiny' for me. And I'm still trying to institute my asphalt ban! Really, it is wonderful, but I couldn't wear it.

Re: Fearsome Predator

I knew there were gigantic, vampire squirrels during prehistoric times.

This is just lazy and pathetic.

The Sesame Street one did get rejected, and rightfully so.
I'm hoping both the cheeburger and the ceiling cat will be as well.

Also, CTW has never made well-known declarations that they are totally against licensing their characters.

I am against all non-parody that uses other people's art and characters without adding anything, but to me, Watterson is a total other ball game. If someone refuses to even market their own art in any way other than in its own format (ie: books featuring prints, CDs of ones songs, etc) then anyone who would try to market that work themselves is proving themselves to be devoid of morals and ethics. It's lazy and sketchy to slap Big Bird on a shirt and call it parody. But it's wholly uncouth if big bird's creator is known for being against marketing big bird at all, thinking it would devalue his work.

Re: Fearsome Predator

You really don't get the "style" portion of derbies, do you?

This is just one of your regular shirts with less shading.

Re: Prehistoric renaissance.

wow dude your works are improving day after day!
congrats, and +1!

Re: You Thought Wrong

Me = carnivore. I usually just hope I'm bigger than my dinner. Guess I thought wrong! LMAO - I WANT this shirt!

Re: Prehistoric Picasso

And you were worried. Oy! This is spot-on fabulific!

Re: The Birth of Venus of Willendorf

I, too, thought of the venus figure for an idea. But this? This? This is a great mashup between the prehistoric and the Greek, and the texture just sells the whole thing. I'm a little leery of heather most times. I think it may work fine here, though. Not what I'd have chosen, but then - who knows!

Re: Sabertooth Can Haz Cheezburger?

I'm not going to even read the thread. I anticipate a little hate for trading on a meme. You know what? It's well done, wearable, and recognizable. And the colors work for me.
It has a good beat, I can dance to it... I give it a ten!

Re: The Relic

Holy The Happening (2008) (dunno what the gallivanting alpaca will do with that, but I'll translate if necessary)
Just - holy The Happening (2008) This is the most spot-on, freakin' otterific entry I've seen. I really, REALLY hope this prints. This is a must-have for me!
LMAO! OK - it was h.o.l.y-s.h.i.t. And the w.o.o.tb.o.t (gallivantig alpaca? rly?) apparently has its own issues with references to itself!

Re: Prehistoric Picasso

Your distressing looks great!

I also agree about the colors and the style being wonderful as well, I was just trying to throw a new compliment into the pot.

w00t!

Re: Big Blue Box

Hey, I am new to making woot shirts and I am wondering how you did your background, i'm having trouble doing something similar.

Re: The Vacationer of Willendorf

So wrong, but so right!

I keep hearing this song each time I look at a Willendorf entry (including my own):
"I like big butts and I can not lie..."

Re: Self Promotion

Hahaha, nice idea. I'm having trouble with the themes lately, but your work is always clever and well done.

Re: Art Critic

I'm loving the way this looks in your shirt mockup. It's hard, voting on designs in a flat, smooth medium that doesn't even remotely resemble where they'll end up. I hope this looks as good as your mockup, because that looks fabulific, and much better than the comp.

Re: iRock

It is really too bad that you included the iPod, IMO.

Re: The Buddha Nature Has Always Been

I love the rendering, the colors, the idea... I'm just not sure anyone looking at this shirt would have a clue what the theme had been.
I'm just wondering if I care, or if I should just go with the flow.
OK, flow. If you say the Buddha has always been there, who am I to argue?

Re: The First Supper

The first dino dinner!

Re: Take on me

was out shopping today, and heard a dance remix version of this song. Was almost surreal...

Re: The Tofu-henge

I only just caught a glimpse of the title as I was clicking to see the comp. I was anticipating a dental pun. but - oh, OK.
I migh t hit me better if the tofu wasn't so white. I really did, at a glance, expect teeth in some form.

Re: The Art Keeper

Your attention to detail is wonderful, commendable. I LOVE the way you shaded/highlighted the sabretooth, AND gave it a stubby tail. Nice!
I don't see a reason the sabretooth is guarding the art, but I'm not sure I care.
My only serious reservation is that the transition between the scene and the shirt color is still too abrubt. I see you tried to fade them in, but especially in the upper 2 thirds - the lighter color - it still needs some more work to ease it in.

Re: The First Supper

I foresee a whole lotta flack in your future. But - I got a Lol from the concept, and I am totally loving the chalky look.

greatest title ever.

Re: The Relic

I'm hoping this stays fogged. It's only one of two currently there that are excellently on theme.
I'd definitely wear it.

(ups sorry, my english its not very good)

Wences, your English is good enough, and charming. And any time you want corrections, just ask. Maybe you'll teach me some Spanish!

It is SO wonderful to see PP back. I do mourn the loss of the buttcrack, tho. the addition of more color is interesting. I think, all things being equal, I like the original better. But it's still a walzaman. That sells me on it.

You are too kind, especially after I've rapped you for the panda obsession.
There are a host of problems with this design, but I am really proud of it, and can see how I'm learning, just by looking at it.
Some day, cmdixon2 - or whatever number you are at that point - some day!

Re: Fearsome Predator

I... Wow. Let's just say you never disappoint.

I think I get it. It takes a little time looking, but I think... Maybe the (archarologist a la Indiana Jones) figure in the front is distracting from the joke? Maybe that wasn't really necessary. The cave painting on it's own works fine.

Re: Honey look, I made a statue of you...

BTW, I have to add, I used a few different brushes on this (with my freakin mouse!). And one of the most useful was the new one Wences shared with us. Thank you, man!

paigeg wrote:You're giving a pretty good imitation of one!
If this prints, I GOTTA have it. I have a thing for those moai. I have little statues, a moai on a wall, and even a concrete moai in my garden!

thanks paigeg - I really do appreciate that, especially after a lackluster start to this derby.

Must say I agree.

I feel like 2/3rds of Ramyb shirts are cutesy animals who are actually "evil" and are trying to eat/destroy something or another. It just feels predictable and lazy to me. Try some new ideas; mix it up a little bit! You are a good artist, Ramy (although I am sure many disagree), but your ideas are so repetitive that I am instantly turned off of your tees once I see them.

Re: MONSTER HUNTER

I'd wear it, voted.

I appreciate the tips. However, I like the element of the discovery of the cave painting. I'm looking at the image right now with the archaeologist removed, and it loses something... besides the fact that it's only 2 colors! lol

I leave it to the masses. Above is the original, and here is the image, minus the archaeologist. What say you all?

Re: What The ???

Could someone explain this to me please?

Re: Prehistoric Picasso

In the Fog, but instead of a question mark, showing 77 votes. Very interesting...
