Shirt.Woot

Another textile-centric design...I don't know how wearable people will find it, but I am pleased with the sari patterning...at least, late night pleased!



A little smaller on the shirt

I'm new here, so sorry if my question was answered somewhere else. I haven't found it...

The derby should start at noon on Friday? But which timezone?

Central

I have some ideas for this week, I want to do something with elephants



Do you have some preference?

Thanks guys!

Ok no Star Wars but some how I see a bunch of Indiana Jones rip offs. "You betrayed Sheba!"

They're all cute, but I like the first Bollywood Dance the best.

Um, that would be Siva or Shiva.

They're all so cute! Do 'em all, in panels.

You should be pleased - very nice! The gold patterning down the woman's posterior gives a bit of fish-scale or snake skin look, but I don't think that's a bad thing.

I agree!

If you could put the basket on a little stand have have the elephant's trunk going through the bottom and popping out of the top of the basket like a snake, that would be awesome.

Thanks odysseyroc! I will try!

I'd try to get a few of those Bollywood elephants together, as though it were part of one of those larger Bollywood dance scenes.

Anyone ever seen Lagaan?

You may be correct, my old ears don't work like they use to and Temple of Doom was not my favorite movie.

Okay, who's gonna do Daler Mehndi in a 4 panel type thing? Thinking possibly Warhol, or better yet, in mehndi, but with 4 colors/nature themes?

someone doo eeeeitt!!

YOGA! DEFINITELY YOGA!!!!

For those who watch Outsourced: A Gup-tee would pretty much make my year.

Your design is beautiful but one of the best things about Indian clothing is all the insane colors. This feels a little muted to me. Maybe on a differnt shirt color? I also prefer the back placement.

+1

Wow, I'm super-psyched that I actually have something to sub when the Derby opens! That never happens. Any comments?

I like it! I would say brighten and add a few more colors, perhaps in the curlicues. I like the single-color silhouette, but I think something more colorful would be more Indian.

I think woot banned back placements on derby entries.

anybody else know?

And here's the comp:

Like? No like?

Much better without. MHO. The henna design is great, but it takes away from the lady and tiger.

Proportionally, the face is too small compared to the trunk and ears. Are you going for a henna design, or is that just the linework? I would definitely love to see more colors, similar to the photos zwartepaard posted!

I'd worry about that getting rejected for copyrighted material though. There's no parody and it's very clear what it is.

@bellisperennis
Thanks, that's what I was worried about.

Usually you just have to worry about parody if you are using a copyrighted piece. But I wouldn't think that a sphere made of robots is copyrighted. Yes, it's obvious where it came from...but copyrighted?
I dunno...I can see your point though. I suppose I'll just have to see what woot says. I'd be sad if it was rejected, of course, cause I kind of like my muzzle flash effect.

That effect is pretty darned cool. Good luck!

Love all of them , but if I had to pick I'd say the yoga one, it'd be a great exercise tee

Yoga is my favorite!

Maybe two tees? One with the yoga, and another one with the Bollywood Dances?

I love this, Jasneko! Beautiful work, I like the color choices as well.

Ahh I see it now, I found a better reference this should be fixed now. And so far it's just line work. It's going to be pretty colorful, that's what convinced me to try this out. I loved the bright colors.

As a non-artist and new woot shirt fan, I have to say I just love watching you all work and discuss ideas, it's very entertaining! Hope you all don't mind me watching, and commenting now and then.

Comment away, we like that kind of thing.

Maybe darken the undercarriage (wd?) to contrast with the beard a little more.

It's great, it's nice to get a perspective from a non-artist because it gives more of a sense of what people want to wear than just what looks like a cool piece of art!



On a variety of shirt colors and with and without the henna design in a different placement. Thoughts?
