Re: No P's Allowed!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I wish this made sense outside of the derby... Fun idea.

Re: Trilobite Trampoline

That's pretty damn funny! They look so happy!

Re: Awkward Turtle

Ramy, your shirts always have a commercial sheen to them. They read at a glance, the colors are bright and balanced, and they're generally very wearable. These are all things the average shirt artist, objectively, can learn from.

For me it's actually a shame that your simple designs like this do so well because I enjoy it a lot more when you push yourself! It's great when you have more of your imagination on display, like the mallow knight and his chocolate shield in 'Melting defenses'. If this had been called 'Turtle Tipping' and the dude had been tipped over while he was asleep by a couple of redneck hermit crabs, then there'd be more to love.

Clearly your simpler designs like this still have a lot of fans, but I think more than anything it's the lack of a strong concept that wrankles your critics in this kinda case.

hmmm... I can't see why I can't put resub on the thumbnail.

I dunno.... who really cares. People crying about it give it more attention. If you don't like it don't click it. There are 200+ other designs to click. And if you like to say "you should be ashamed" etc... stop and think about it. Who are you? Are you the king of all shirt design submissions? if so you would have made shirt.woot derby and you would have made yourself the supreme ruler. People need to get a grip. ITS A SHIRT! Its not like he's spray painting graffiti all over a Rembrant or destroying all that may be holy. Its a SHIRT. If people stop crying and stop clicking, and he stops winning, he'll stop submitting this 'trash' as some think it is. If too many people who's shirts you don't like win and it ups your blood pressure, don't come back, don't get yourself all worked up. its a SHIRT! Is it really worth ruining part of your day getting all upset about? really? perspective here. he only does it because he wins.

and this post is in reference in to general comments, nobody in particular so don't go getting all worked up.

Re: Tori, Torii, Tortoise

Love the colors and the way you addressed the patterns on the turtle's shell.

Only suggestion is to maybe make the tacks more noticeable, or more obvious.

Pretty clever though, and it is Tax time. GMV!

well you saved me some rigorous explaining, and for that i thank you!

actually, that is the most obvious way i will draw a thumb tack, because in all consciousness i cannot draw them the other way without referring to them as 'pushpins.' that's how MY head works...

akirahatesyou wrote:What a great concept! Very unique!

grazie, it was the first idea to pop in my head, because Mr. Anderson wants you to do your 1040s.

and with just one T in the entire title, i attempted to fit the T in the design by having the tacks flying in the form of one.

Re: Tequila

i like it.

Re: Transgalactic Turtle

Certainly your best version of this, Graff'! I hope to be wearing one in the near future.

Re: Treat on a trap (resub)

Ha! Really cute...but it isn't on the heather gray template, so will be rejected. I'd put it on baby blue instead and resubmit. Great idea.

Oh I just love this one too! Good job.

gelka wrote:It's obviously not copyright infringement because there are no copyrighted characters used.

Unless Ramyb has copyrighted those blasted turtles he submits at every opportunity. Actually I think it would be HILARIOUS if he complained that someone was using his idea...

I wish it weren't red, which looks terrible on me, but I'll have to buy it anyway if it wins!!

MachineAmbition wrote:While I do think making money is OK and that this shirt is well done for what it is, I wouldn't vote for it, because I prefer something other than cute turtles drawn in this style. I can't design a shirt like this, so if I wanted one, I could turn to ramyb for a generous supply of them. But I don't really want one.

In fact, I am also sick of dinosaurs and shirts praising the eating of meat, but no one seems to mind those being in every single derby. And I'm sorry if this hurts someone's precious artistic sensibilities, but if it came down to it, I'd prefer this largely expressionless turtle to a shirt with a hamburger or a dinosaur.

Luckily, I don't have to vote for or buy any turtle, dinosaur or meat shirts.

Actually you could design a shirt like this. Simply take one of his previous turtle shirts, flip the turtle upside down as he did, and you are guaranteed to hit the fog with zero effort. Just sayin...

Re: Tempest in a teapot

Looks to me like a "T" take on The Red Hot Chili Peppers song "Storm in a Teacup"

got my vote

RandomLynx wrote:Love the design, hate the shirt color. A brighter color would have worked better, even at the risk of my teeth aching ^.^;;;

Yeah I agree. A brown shirt is just not the best choice for this incredible design. I love the idea and everything else about it, but the brown shirt makes it less attractive.

criticalmassers wrote:WHY is this shirt #22????? O.o It should so be higher.
awesome shirt. love it.

Probably the brown shirt...

chumpmagic wrote:I think the weirdest part is that I only see three artists (that submitted to this derby) in this entire thread.

That's because a lot of designers use an alt account so they won't have to worry about losing votes when they give an honest opinion.

Re: Tooth's Bad Friend

I like the story being told by the picture.

Wow!!! THIS is a turtle!!! (Some other 'artist' should take note)
I'm digging your style more and more.

Re: Tabula rasa

I almost rather hang this one on my wall rather than my chest... nice art!

If this is disqualified for copyright infringement then ever single shirt featuring Admiral Ackbar (and "trap" reference) should be disqualified. Not to mention anything referencing LOTR and Balrogs, Cookie Monster, Harry Potter Lightning Bolts and Cloaks, Red Rambo bandanas, etc... Wow. people need to lighten up.

I submit regularly here and I'm not afraid of saying that derby entries as dull and plane as this are an insult for the rest of designers who bring top quality artwork.

It looks better Spirit. In this case simple is better

Re: Toast is super bread

Love the artwork. Its the only shirt here that made me LOL.

Re: tac toe

Yeah, but O cheats.

Re: Transparent

Re: Turtle vs T-Rex (vs Gamera)

Re: Triangle Trickery

I heart this triangle / non-triangle.

Re: Toucan Sheds His Tint
