I love the design, but to put it bluntly, the colors suck.
Sorry, but I have to pass on this one.

Kissing a mermaid who smokes is like licking a spittoon. Arrgh.

I figured the taste would be more akin to smoked salmon.

In for one! Beautiful design, girl-friendly colors, enchanting character with attitude - and a First Coaster. Waiting to hear what Kinzoku has to say, and what loot SHE got in her pre-dawn foray.

Why couldn't she have been the other kind of mermaid, with the fish part on top, and the lady part on the bottom? D:

Great illustration. She looks badassss. I love the strong fin on her tail. Also, the colors work very well.

It's a beautiful design....I really love the idea of framing it and putting in on the wall, though. I have a lot of Tshirts. I need some wall art.

Does anyone know if the design prints the same size on every size Tshirt? Should I get my correct size so I have the option of wearing it, or will I get a bigger frameable area if I order a men's XXL?

It would be cool if the artist had prints of the design available on her own site; she has a lovely style, except for walking the cephalopod which seems... well, slimy. Or does Woot own the copyright?

I'd get a 3X and stretch it over canvas.

Generally, tee sites do not print the same graphic size for every blank size, but also generally don't print just one size for all blanks. A WS sized print would look ridiculous on a 2X men's, but a men's 2x will have a graphic that looks smaller than a men's XL.

This said, if you're tempted to wear it as well as frame, for $10 a pop, it might be worth it to get two... one in your size and one for framing, as big as you can.

Awesome design, too many shirts lately though would make a much better tattoo. If i had the money this one would be full back piece.

Actually, Woot has the exact print sizes right on the front page- It will be in that left column where it says "Design sizes"

Here's the info today:

Design Size:
3X – S: 13” x 17.59”
WXL - K4: 9” x 12.17”



So any shirt size Men's small or larger will have a printed design the same size

Amazing amazing work!

I hoped so bad that this shirt would be made because she reminds me so much of a mermaid version of League of Legend's Miss Fortune.

Definitely bought this!

This is an epic shirt, but the smoking pipe is odd. Mermaids fear fire and avoid it at all costs...

Okay I've woken up and settled down a bit.

As I mentioned in the derby thread, it's something I almost didn't work on since my mindset for it was more 'illustration' than 'shirt design'. But I'm happy that so many people enjoy it! This is my third print at Woot.

As someone else said above, stretching a big shirt sounds like a good idea for those who wanted a print. Woot owns the right to sell the image, so if you want to buy a real print you'll have to take it up with them.

The artwork is flat-out spectacular, but I don't really dig this as a shirt. A print of it, however, would look smashing on my wall at home or work!

Finally, some interesting color choices. I have more black/navy woot shirts than I know what to do with. In for one.

Well, I contacted woot and they said that they do not sell prints. I guess we're stuck with framing an XL shirt.

If only the shirt preview image was a larger resolution!

Love the image / design. Something very enchanting about it. Great work.

Ever think of putting the artwork on deviantart by chance?

So glad this survived the reckoning! I wanted to wait for my first purchases to arrive so I could see which size is best. They arrived today and I'm ready to order this beauty, but none of the sizes I chose last time fit. Now I'm unsure about further purchases...Go too small, not wearable at all. Go too big and the shirt becomes a dress. Hmm...Dress.Woot! it is, I guess.
