Shirt.Woot

Re: Phoenix on a wire

excellent. this is shaping up to be the first derby that produces a shirt i want to buy in over a year.

well, that is, until the community blows it by voting for pointless designs, like turtles. again.

Especially with the thumb nubbins at the top of the weapons... they'd just fall out of his hands.

I didn't say anything about wanting him to get less votes... I don't think I really complained either.

I apologize for annoying you... I don't usually rally against ramy that much (except maybe in the reckoning threads) and I really like your designs, so I'm a little sad you decided to rip into me. You could of at least picked the guy that just said he hated him... Jeez.

I still don't see why everyone is so critical about the "thumbs". It's a cartoon, use your imagination, maybe his thumbs have massive gripping power. It is, after all, a mutant.

Re: happiness

I cannot imagine a better venue for this shirt to print.

I think this is very well put, and I agree with you completely. Offer constructive criticism or keep your mouth shut.

Personally, I would prefer if you could see some of the turtle that's hiding in its shell. My first thought when I saw this that the empty looking shell belonged to the mutant turtle and I was confused.

The other concern I have is that the turtle on the left doesn't look quite as frightened as the middle turtle, it looks more zombish to me. If it had movement lines maybe to indicate it was backing away or startled at least it would work better for me.

These are both little fixes that I doubt will occur, but just thoughts I would like to put out there, I hope that they might be useful in the future.

Also, about the concerns of this getting rejected on the grounds of TMNT and video games, that's total crap, this design doesn't reference TMNT at all, yes it's a mutant turtle but that concept is not owned by TMNT. This is a completely independent idea, even if it does play on people's nostalgia for TMNT.

Ah---d20 cries himself to sleep at night...

Ahh... I now understand this guy's feelings. He was just a victim of a defective society.

Re: Odd Bear Out

I love it. GMV =)

Re: The Girl in the Yellow Dress

I wanted to do a more positive take on the whole oddball thing, so I imagined someone standing out in a good way. I will post some larger images a little later. Thanks for looking!

For me, the thumb problem isn't that they are suppossed to work with the holding up of the weapons, but there seems to be a few of them missing at first glance. Second glance, you can see them, but they are barely there. It's the same problem I and many others had with the smile on the Christmas turtle, it's barely there and without it more defined, the whole thing takes on a different meaning. Same here, it looks less like the turtle is holding some of the weapons than they are just floating there of their own accord.

I think I see, Snaaaaaaaaaake! Ohhhhh it's a snake! Nice, I wish you luck.

Re: Sticking Out

This is probably your best in a while. Great style, and legitimately adorable. Not only that, but in a derby full of obvious relationships, this was a shred unexpected.

Re: The Smart Cookie

Walmazan and Boots collab.

Re: The Girl in the Yellow Dress

Ah, there it is. Nicely done, and very much voted for.

xD If this wins, I can't wait to rock it during HvZ (and of course when ever else I can)

haahahaha <3 it. But it wouldn't really make food sense because we don't eat grains straight from the field as zombies eat brains straight from the....brains.

I love the way this turned out, it's a wonderful blend of your styles. I would definitely buy one.

"Yes."
Fwap! Fwap! Fwap!

"Awwww man...."

Reminded me of that Pixar short For the Birds.

No, no. It's all about YOU!

Re: Sticking Out

I'd be interested in seeing this on baby blue, but regardless, really nice! Delightful illustration.

Re: Phoenix on a wire

AHHH >_< Those poor innocent birds!!! With their cutely flaming white feathers >_< gmv ^_^

Re: AHH it's a mutant!

Though I probably wouldn't purchase a ramyb shirt, I do respect him as a designer.

Re: Sticking Out

Cute, whimsical, and a touch artsy. Love it.

Re: Werewolf Astronaut

Why didn't the astronauts in 1969 bring golf clubs to the moon?! It'd be the best place ever to go golfing!

Re: Black Swan

Brilliant. I fold these all the time when I'm bored and there is paper around. Programs, gum wrappers, old post-it-notes... you name it. So should this print, I will buy it and wear it with these, with pride!

Re: Deadly Weapons

All of these are deadly weapons

Seriously...

Deadly weapons
3 colors on black

Re: AHH it's a mutant!

I actually do have a constructive comment, specifically about the weapon designs. The lower left hand has one of the standard grips on the sai-like weapon, but said weapon is colored in such a way that it looks like it has an edge, more like a dagger with massive, pointed quillons than a sai. A minor issue, but one that would make future drawings related to this subject (and, though I mean no offence, you do seem to like the TMNT) that much more interesting to those of us who practice stage fighting or martial arts.

Re: happiness

One more gargleblaster, not only is this hilarious, but I love the statement it makes. One of my favorite Edgars ever!

Re: The Bus Stop

I really like this one, yet again with the walmazanian. The shadows of the nose in the bag are just a fine detail.

Re: Sticking Out

have you punk friends?this work is magical :-)

Re: The Smart Cookie

walmazan and bootsboots, the perfect pair! Love it, GMV

Re: Odd Bear Out

Proof that cute shirts can also reflect artistic-ness and style. Facial expressions for the win! Voted.

Re: happiness

love it, +1

Re: Smell no Evil

Aww, adorable. But to me I'd always be snickering that he's picking his nose ;)

Re: Black Swan

it's beautiful
