I guess that's the problem with designing an UGLY sweater!

Thanks CM!

Re: Headed Home

Thanks all!

Hehe actually I forgot - that too.

But woot's rules are no more than 6 colors. If you have the opportunity, I'd remove this one, and resub. You've got my vote!

That doesn't quite look like an olive shirt either. You can be rejected for not using one of the standard colors.

Re: delicious

thanks friends!

Johndis5 wrote:Neat concept, but I don't see the theme.

Because there is no connection.

Re: light up for the holiday party

You have one color too many here. Perhaps make the menorah the same color as the tree trunk?

Re: Fruitcake: It Lasts Forever.

Fruit cake is NOT made of fruit. And definitely doesn't taste like cake. You can find all sorts of fun things in this Dorian Gray of holiday pastry.

how do i change it after it has been submitted? this is my first time submitting

chumpmagic wrote:I don't really get this one either, but I also don't know the reference. Regardless, I am a sucker for circular designs and your characters look great! Good job!

They are characters from a tv show called Fringe. If you don't know the show then you and many others who don't, won't get it.

Re: Warm and Cozy

this shirt makes me feel cold @_@

is the turtle supposed to be "warm and cozy" when it's shivering / trying to stay warm out in the snow? D:

you can't.
you have to make your changes and then resubmit it and then delete you old design.
I hope that helps.

@violentoceans: I tried lots of different color choices, and while I'm not a huge fan of cream, I definitely felt in the end it gave the design a "parchment" feel, which I think adds a lot.

@markh27: scroll through this thread for other versions, including many with color.

But when all was said and done, this was the version I was most happy with.

Thanks!

Re: TURKEVOLUTION

WINNER WINNER CHICK- ummm... nevermind.

I'm always in charge of decorating the house for Christmas, so that's what I'm reminded of when I think of going home for the holidays. So I thought, what about those little critters that carry their houses around on their backs? Six colors on brown, hope you like it!

Re: TURKEVOLUTION

So much fun. Will get me one.

Re: The very next day you gave it away

WANT

I like the addition of the background, and the fact that it's subtle, but I miss the eyes. Overall, however, very nicely done!

Yeah, I would agree. I mean, if I were to make a female gingerbread in a bikini, I would not make her dress shaped...

Re: Decorating the House

I really like it...but kind of wish it was just the snail.

thatrobert wrote:Home for the holidays means ugly Christmas sweaters.

Oh man, I really want this.

Mavyn wrote:I really like it...but kind of wish it was just the snail.

I thought the same thing. The snail is really well done and I think it would have more impact alone

Re: The very next day you gave it away

This really -is- packing Peanuts!

Sweet design, ThatRobert. ^__^

Re: Warm and Cozy

I had a similar idea for my entry.

jasneko wrote:I thought the same thing. The snail is really well done and I think it would have more impact alone

I could easily do a submission with just the snail, I just wasn't sure if it would get the idea across. Maybe I'll put up just the snail since it's still early in the derby.

Re: A Bishop Family Christmas Story

Did Walter get a 'Parallel World's Best Dad' mug in return? ^_^

+1 for the Fringe love.

HeartlineTwist wrote:Actually, it's not. They have legs, while the female has a dress. Subtle, but true.

Also, the female has eyelashes (also subtle, but I was trying to figure out who was who myself).

Re: Homecoming

Nice illustration, kevlar. (It has a little bit of a Chrono Trigger feel to it) :-)

Re: The Hungry Igloo

I love this one. Got my vote!

Re: Home Early for the Holidays

this is hilarious diana, i do wish though that it was just the characters an the door though, not the roof and floor lines, they seem odd and cut off to me. also i would agree that its a little confusing cause i dont notice the gender difference right away, at first i thought the wife walked in on mr ginger bread with another woman, but then they were both in their underwear and i couldnt figure it out until i read your text below. but once i got it i think its hilariou, i just dont know if its gonna be an easy read for most people. love the characters and the choices you made for their underwear! nice job! =)

Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

I'd like a halftone tutorial, plz. I like your halftones. I want to learn how to do them like that.

And if anyone see's this post and would like to help me get better at halftones, I'd love to hear it.

Ditto!

Nice job with the wind and mood Patrickpens. I feel rather like that bear in the winter - wishing I was someplace warm!

Re: My Eco-Friendly Home

I don't see how this is on theme either.

Resub with a retro styled family in front of the house, stuffing a cornucopia. Bada-bing!

I really like how you framed this all together.

Re: TURKEVOLUTION

Mae, que horror! Pobrecito ese pavo. Prefiero tu estilo normal con carácteres amables, los cuales no van a ser comidos. :P

Resubbed with just the snail.

Re: Rooted

to echo the rest--love the colors!

Spiritgreen wrote:Yes, defintely a departure for you but it still has the patented Walmazan funniness. ^___^

Patented funniness? Looks alot like the Evolution of Meat from the last derby. Very orginal!

Re: Warm and Cozy

It's so weird, this morning I was thinking to myself - 'you know what shirt.woot needs? Another generic turtle shirt,' and then lo and behold...
