Awesome! Thanks, Robert!

Thanks as always

Well, this is my first entry ever, had to learn how to use Inkscape while working on it.

Re: To The Clouds

Big fan of this one. Here's hoping it prints, because it'll be my next shirt.

The colors and composition seem to work great on a t-shirt. Great job!

Re: The Protector

wow this is really terrific, and perhaps the thumbnail doesn't enough show how awesome it is

Re: Save the World!

Very well done! GMV!

Re: Robo Hero

soooo good

Re: Alien Vs Robot RESUB 2

Wow. Amazing use of perspective, shirt color, etc in this one, Robbie. You're hitting on all cylinders here. Do I even need to say this has my vote? Because it soooo does

Re: Peace

I love this. Probably my favorite entry in the whole wide derby! I hope you print it elsewhere if it doesn't make it to the top three this go 'round

Re: Saving the world one grandma at a time

thanks DJTweekNYC and jmmbell1987.

Re: Helping Hands

Is anyone else have trouble viewing this shirt?

Re: Peace

Got my support. This is a lovely design. The layout, shading and colors are all chosen with great thought and restraint. It's bold but refined at the same time.

That silver ink would create an interesting effect too. :^)

Color counting is some kind of extreme measure to take? Seems like a legitimate question to me. However,

I agree.

the zero is lined through, so i does look a little like an 8

Re: Fate of the Planet

Dude, you are a woot god. Your work continually blows me and obviously the whole (well, most-there's always someone) woot community away. I'd like to see you take some time on a real face-melter and submit it as a daily. Show us what you got when you can spend some time on a piece. Obviously, the extra hours did wonders here. Kudos.

Re: Don't Look Back, I've Got You

Looks terrific! one of my favorites from you!

and instant +1

Re: Alien Vs Robot RESUB 2

Incredible!

RGLEE129 you are so awesome!

Re: The Binary League: Defending the Earth Since 1907

I love your style and your robots! I was glad to see this make the fog, but bummed that it was pretty late in the game... :'(

Re: Earth Defense Force

You guys are constantly under-appreciated here. There are four designs this week that would be an instant buy for me, and this is one of 'em.

Re: Robot saves world!

Congratulations taternuggets on making it through the derby without a rejection.

Re: The Binary League: Defending the Earth Since 1907

This is absolutely unbelievable. One of my favorites of all time, I think. So much careful thought, wit, and creativity! I mean, seriously, how many other designs have even TWO different robots?

So, when did you get to be the absolute judge of deciding what's "art" and what's not? From dictionary.com:

ART - the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.

Some people have the opinion (contrary to popular belief, people are allowed to have opinions) that this is appealing. I'm just saying that it seems rather odd that you're making something very subjective into something completely objective.

Personally, I wouldn't wear this, although it's a masterfully done piece. It almost looks too slick, and I have a feeling it won't look so amazing when printed. I also have a feeling that 3000 people will be able to see for themselves very soon.

Re: Let's Plant

Thanks for all the love!

Re: Saving the world one grandma at a time (V2)

cheers robert!

I'm so glad it seems to work. I really like how the gears turned out.

I tend to make things too complex. I'm glad that the message and the bird robot come across for people. =D I had a different version the first time but the message wasn't as clear.

I think what he's trying to say is that this particular piece has no soul or identity, and I frankly agree with him. Like a few of us have already mentioned, this particular piece does not have any particular flow or style worked into it to make it a "design" so to say. It's a wonderfully done illustration for sure, but the bottom line in my opinion is that the blunt execution is boring, and to me, no very wearable at all.

Not comparing anyone, but making an example: Drak will typically just "illustrate" a concept that goes with the theme, but he/she sets things up a certain way in regards to layout, and all the pieces usually have a great flow to them with the way various elements are coordinated.

Again, this is just "Exhibit 1: Depiction of Robot fighting Squid in Space". Cut and dry on a t-shirt. No design qualities.

Again, just my 2 cents.

Re: Peace

I love the silver on white, and the concept. Beautiful!

Re: W.W.Z. Mechanized Military Infantry

I will be buying this shirt when it wins. :D

Nice job!

This is so understatedly sweet. Talk-bubble or not, I like it : 3

How adorable!

Yes, considering the fact that (1) no one else is scrutized in the same way and (2) the color counting has turned into a bit of a feeding frenzy. I trust the woot staff has enough competency to count the number of colors used. Rest easy people.

Re: Earth Defense Force

SO GOOD! I love the way this design fills the space and that the colors jump off of it but still keep the dark mood.

Re: W.W.Z. Mechanized Military Infantry

If only I had one of those chainsaw guns in l4d2...

Re: Protector

I really appreciate all the votes that this design has gotten. You guys are AWESOME!

Re: Alien Vs Robot RESUB 2

I will be staying up till midnight for the chance that this is first
