Re: turned-over turtle

Looking at this more closely, there seems to be a speck of green on the turtle's face. I'm not sure I could wear this. :P

One more gargleblaster you're an artsy-fartsy who hates all funny shirts! Woot already printed an artsy shirt for you this year and it didn't sell out, so u should shut ur artsy mouth!

I'm just looking for some help here when I ask...Can you tell me why? I get it if it's a personal taste thing, but if I'm doing something wrong, can you help me out? Please? I'm new here.

In all seriousness, I could actually see myself wearing this and getting a lot of laughs from my friends (none of whom are Wooters, so they wouldn't know the reference). It may be snarky, but hell, in its own terms it's funnier than a lot of the shirts woot prints.

Thank you for the kind words! I am completely lost on this site. I don't understand the threads. I don't know how to communicate. Please be patient with me.

Thanks! Yeah, making trilobites look happy...obviously required some anthropomorphizing.

Re: Tick..Tock..

If you can find a clever way to get rid of the text (I assume the Roman numerals), then you have at least 1 vote. This is awesome.

Re: Trollin

nice shirt!

i could really go for this if it was not for that little speck in its right eye i feel i need to dust it off lol

THEY DON'T CARE. You can rant until your fingers cramp and they will continue doing what makes them money. Some of them are even having fun doing it! Have you ever drawn a cutesy, meaningless picture? It's FUN. It can be relaxing. These people are having fun and making money. I'm sure they see no reason to stop.

I am in no way condoning the creation of meaningless, cute pictures in a contest where a lot of artists are putting forth their best. In fact, it still infuriates me when I see it in the fog when I know the artist could've done better. Especially when something I *know* was worked on falls out of the fog to make room for it.
I AM saying that if you have something legitimate to say (a critique or a notice that it's off topic) then say it.
Otherwise, please understand that you are probably wasting time that could've been better spent elsewhere on other entries encouraging artists who work hard. Give those who need it and are willing to listen help/advice. You might make a bigger dent.

Wow. I'm not exactly sure how to get in on this thread, so I'll just type here at the bottom. I am new to this site, new to the whole tshirt business. I've submitted 2 designs that have gone absolutely nowhere. You guys are ruthless, and I love it. It's good to be in a community where people stand up and shout. I know now to bring my a-game. Thanks!

Re: Tummy Teeth

Now this would look awesome on a t-shirt!

I'm just gonna copy and paste what I wrote on the other turtle thread:

And..umm...how do I get my tshirt image to show up on my comments?

Re: Tummy Tuck

That doesn't even fit within the constraints for where the image can go

The easiest way is to go to your design's page and click add a comment. Then, copy everything from the "open bracket symbol url" to the "slash url close bracket symbol." THEN paste that into your signature under your account settings. If you don't want the title to appear above the thumbnail image, you can delete that from the code. Good luck!

Re: Awkward Turtle

a few things...

I've posted a few designs on this site, and obviously I'm not really very good at this, however I do it for fun when I have free time, and usually get a vote from me, and a vote from my girlfriend, and maybe 5 or six sprinkled in from other people who it speaks to... no harm no foul right?...

now just a little change of pace (don't mean to offend anyone who actually likes Nickleback as crappy as I feel they are,) but I hate Nickleback, I feel they are no where near as talented as say Radiohead. Nickleback, from what I've heard of them, tends to take proven formulas and somewhat tailor them to their strenghts (as few strengths as they possess, ok I'll stop piling on lol) and continues to turn out hit songs across multiple platforms and stations. i.e.: top 40, Rock, Mix, alternative, etc.
However Radiohead never ceases to amaze me with their fresh new stuff that feels original and (as a fellow muscial artist myself) heartfealt.

Now with that being said, I am really not into mainstream art, persay, on my t-shirts. I love Drakxxx's drawings, and when coupled with Crescendebris' colors, I typically, but not always, seem to vote for them. Yet, I rarely find myself not voting for Ramyb. Nothing against Ramyb (I guess.) Just not my style, yet for some reason the colabs' stuff doesn't seem to print as much as Ramyb's does....

I guess this post ended up being a bunch of rambling, however I just wanna know, are these personal attacks at Ramyb as a person, or as an artist, b/c he is like Nickleback to me, but I can not fault the guy for using a tried and true formula to win, but if he is just a bad person I'd just like to know for my own edification...

P.S. I drank a little bit tonight... lol

Oops...That didn't work! Lemme try again...Thanks!

I know it'd probably get rejected, but I still wish that crayon was purple...

The image won't show up until you make a purchase form any of the woot sites. Its just how they work the sig.

Re: The Turkey always gets the girl

Poor turtle doves, they bring tulips, teddy bears and tickets to the opera, but the girl only has eyes for the turkey...typical.

Re: turned-over turtle

First off, let me just say that I laughed pretty hard when I saw this.

Secondly, you inspired me to do a mockery as well But, I just deleted the link... its a little too mean in my opinion.

chumpmagic wrote:First off, let me just say that I laughed pretty hard when I saw this.

Secondly, you inspired me to do a mockery as well I apologize in advance to the artist in question and all his fans... Feel free to make fun of my artwork in return, but I could not pass up on the fun.

So without further ado...
{{volmod edit: link edited out}} enjoy

wait, I was told that nobody else on this site was capable of doing that style and that's why everybody is so jealous. Hmmm

Aaaw!! So adorable, I love it!!

Re: turned-over turtle

This masterwork speaks to the everpresent ennui of bourgeois society. I see a dadaist rejection of the duality of our society's affect-based dialectic.

AdderXYU wrote:If it will make him money, it is long enough. I give you about an hour before his sycophants (and also the sycophant brigade of the pre-derby thread) comes in to say IF IT MAKES MONEY IT IS OK. I mean hell, it obviously didn't take so little time that people won't vote. Though anyone with a shred of discernment could tell you that it's incredibly poorly composed and staggeringly uncreative.

At least it has a T in it, I guess. Unlike his other piece. Now where is that confounded piece?

Seriously? What is with all the negativity? This guy created a funny image with ties to contemporary memes. Why would length of time (or god forbid) correct perspective matter?

Haters gonna hate

Personally I like it...for whatever that's worth.

Re: turned-over turtle

I wish there was an "I'd want 1,000,000,000" button.

Re: turned-over turtle

This gets my vote because I would actually buy and wear this shirt. Not all topsy-turvy turtles are drawn the same. Maybe Woot would fast track an Editor's Choice.

Re: Tesla the Time Lord

This... is f'n brilliant. I want it on my chest NOW.

I guess I didn't delete my link soon enough, haha. I got quoted!

Yeah, I was told the same thing! I had to bite back a little for that one since it seemed like the comment was directed at me and two other artist in the thread at the time.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=49875]

oh my despair. Dashed hopes against the rocks. Does this mean I won't win the contest?

dalekempress wrote:Very nice then. Looks a bit wide on the shirt but I like the general idea.

Thanks for the compliment. And I think you're right about it being a tad wide in the comp.

Amazing!!!! At least this one has some honesty and fun attached to it!!! +1 for sure!!

Keep an eye on my DA page if I have to find somewhere else for it.

Re: Return of the Thylacine

Vote, people! Help me out! I want a thylacine shirt! As Adder says, maybe a little more background would add a little more spice, but this is such a cool drawing of a thylacine and I'd love to wear it.

I think is interesting that Ramyb chooses to use this turtle so much. It kind of fits his persona. I mean, even though there is an army of people on here every week bashing his work for being consistently repetitive and uninspired(which it usually is), he usually gets the last laugh on all of them because he knows what gets votes and has no problem persistently riding that Jatravartid turtle(or mouse, or kitten etc.) to more paychecks than just about anyone else on this site.

Re: Tiger Tiger Rawr Rawr!

If I can't get another "Angry Day" shirt, this is probably the next best thing... Seriously, cute tigers, I like the style!

Re: Tweedy Bird

Cute idea and nice execution!

Re: Time Travel

This would be great if it was on black and had something nerdy like the first two instead of the hot tub.

Re: Technologic Terra

Don't be too proud of this Technological Terra you've constructed. The ability to create a wireframe planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

;) Awesome job! gmv
