Is it a brain sandwich?

Re: Laugh while you can.

Hurray for IT Crowd references!

But it does have its own internal logic.

Really nice colors. Agreed.

raerae104 wrote:wasn't there a movie about vampires who drank ketchup instead of blood?

Yes. It's called the Ketchup Vampires. there's a sequel, too.

^^ This.

Mostly just the thumbs... If the hands looked like they could hold weapons I probably wouldn't of said anything.

The timeframe comment was more for use of my earlier (modded) green globs are diareah comment

Re: Rise of the Machines

Yet another late in the game entry. I really need to work my ass off on Thursday night to get this stuff up as soon as possible.

Hope everyone likes it!

That's a good idea! I might try to make a second version with an emo spade on it!

Thanks for the feedback ^^

Re: Imitation Chocolate Chip Cookie

Love the shirt, but it seems to me that CM's feet are on backwards. Either the way the shadows were made, or the shape of them, or both, just looks like his heels are in the front.

Re: You Weren't Invited

This IS my dog. Even looks like him :D love!

Yeah. I totally failed the three second rule though: If someone can't get it in under three seconds, it hasn't a chance.

jmmbell1987 wrote:Brown is a great color for this design. It's on brown because Boots no doubt thought it was a good color for this design. This is silliness. Artists don't make their shirt color choices at random or at the whims of picky customers.

Yeah! You tell 'em!

Re: Self-Expression

This is a beautiful shirt, and I'd love to see it print, but is it perhaps too similar to "Class Time Used Effectively"?

http://shirt.woot.com/friends.aspx?k=9599

I haven't tattled on it because I'm not sure if it is similar enough. But I thought I should mention it. Sorry. The artists have different names, so presumably not the same person, they just had the same idea.

Not that the shirts have won, but on no video game derbys (which is almost every derby now) I've seen a clearly tmnt design stay in the whole time. Granted, I'm sure the woot rejectors have differing opinion, but I think they have internally clarified what constitutes a video game design and what doesn't.

I think the thing is that when people think of TMNT they think of the movies & cartoons first before the video games.

Thanks man, nice to see you here

Re: The Fifth Element?

Lol. By your powers combined! Nice job.

Re: Creepiest Triplets Ever

Love this! Every baby is *somebody's* darling!

Re: badger badger

Wearing this shirt in Wisconsin would confuse all the badger fans, I want one!

Re: Baa Baa Bad Sheep

Love it, love the dark humor. I'm a sucker for dark humor.

YAY!

Just sayin'

Haha thanks, was what I was going for. Though I know it doesn't really male sense it's supposed to be cartoony so I figured it worked. *shrug*

Has everyone seen those painted hermit crabs in the pet store? Well this is what happens when they make it back to their real home.

Re: Meanwhile Back at the Bar

Thank you for Looking! I hope you enjoy

Re: Another Dimension

The urge to break free of conformity can inspire dramatic change. Thanks go to the inspiration of M.C.Escher and the Beastie Boys.

Re: Another Dimension

Jaw-droppingly beautiful.

Re: Meanwhile Back at the Bar

Is that Gene Shalit?

Re: Another Dimension

Wow. I want this on a poster (and a t-shirt of course).

Re: This Guy Just Aint Right

Bah, REJECTED!?

Rejection reasoning was that it wasn't in a group, which I guess I failed to realize was the intended key to this derby. I read the woot description, but I also looked up the definition of "oddball" and the merriam webster definition was "one that is eccentric". A definition that has nothing to do with being in a group or not, so I ran with an eccentric type character. Sure he's a little creepy, but he's wearing a monocle! *figuratively laughing out loud* How much more eccentric or oddball than that, can you get? *rhetorical question*

Oh well, it wasn't doing well anyways, so thanks for the rejection. You saved me the humiliation of having a possible on topic design up there with single digit votes.

manikx66 wrote:The orignal design has thought bubbles above the wolf and sheep. if you think you might like it better please go check it out

Better without bubbles, definitely.

getshighoncocacola wrote: Even if the designer had intended it to be about such people, which s/he has clearly stated they did not, where in the shirt does it indicate any sort of disdain?

I thought about that as well. If this design was geared in that direction, it could easily be sold by a transgendered support site as a pride shirt, not unlike rainbow flag shirts.

All in all, any negativity one might take from this shirt comes from within that person's self. Some people want to see negativity anywhere they can. Some people want to see the positive anywhere they can.

Judging by the comments, the positive people seem to have a slight edge, and for that, I am glad.

Directly from the derby write-up: "...show us examples of one person, animal, plant, or object that just doesn't belong in the group...."

Sorry, dude, you have to read the whole write-up, and not just the derby title.

And this fits the theme "Oddball" how?

Sorry, but I did read the derby write up as I wrote in my original post that you're replying to.

But, as with the derbies, you try and think outside the box so that your design stands out from all the rest. Well, as much as you can, anyway. So, with my design, I was trying to go with, what I thought, was the official dictionary definition of the word "oddball".

So, thanks for the reply anyway.

I'm just a little upset at the failure of thinking I was being clever with the derby theme. I'll just give it another go next derby.

-Cheers

Re: The Only Sad Balloon

Is that kid going to stab the sad balloon...?

Re: One does not simply

Not only would I want one, I want one NOW! Actually, more than one -- I can think of several people who would love these as gifts.

Here a resub version with two cymbals and some fixes on drums and drummer, please if you like it vote on the new one not on this.

Thanks


This metal band is auditioning for a second guitarrist but they are quite selective so theres no room for pop romantic plastic heads, meet the band: Stanley "The Monkey" Wrench on Vocals, Kirk Hammer on the Guitar , Johnny Knifeville on the Bass & Tommy "The Anvil" Rodriguez on Drums, 4 colors on asphalt, hope you like it, thanks.

What I don't get is why this is rejected but chumpmagic's "Self Portrait" still stands. I think both are equally off topic, but I guess that's how rejections go around here.
