Re: Not that Easy

If this goes to print, I may have to buy it for my mom, who insists on responding to some questions with "I'm easy," partially in spite of and partially *because of* the sexual innuendo.

Hey I hit you back in your link thread. Sounds like fun!!!!!!!

Nice design - i like it, too! But imho her shadow on his face and the shadow on the ground does not match :-(

P.S. I hope you get what i mean. English is not my native language.

I agree. It kinda ruins the shirt once you notice the shadows don't match up. The ground shadows should be behind the oreos.

Re: five characters in search of an exit

This is awesome, I would like a print of this design.

Got my vote!

Please vote!

Yes, everything in Sesame Street has a face. So why is he Cthulhu? It's a hodgepodge of hastily slapped together elements that have been popular on woot in the past, with the cookie's face thrown in to make it on theme. Yes, the illustration in and of itself is good, but I can't say I'm a fan of this design.

I can't believe I'm going to say this...I agree with jmmbell1987 100%. It's pandering, forced and has a Cthulhu (the new lolcat)as a bonus.

Re: How? is that? even possible?

the concept is cute, but the execution is off

Re: mr apple has a shaving mishap

Oh his poor face! The pink undertones on his freshly shaven face make this all the more disturbing (and fantastic).

Thanks! You've got two great entries in this weeks comp. Best of luck.

Thanks everyone. Your comments and support mean a lot!

Re: Anorexic model

Not just a strong, appealing image but it has a very meaningful concept too. That's talent. :^)

qwasdfz wrote:Partrickspens. I have loved almost every single one of your designs to death and own 4 of your shirts and I have to say... this is crap. Sorry but it's a recycled concept, it's not that amusing and the text just kills what little else it had going for it. Sorry Patrick. I look forward to your great entry in the next derby.

I couldn't agree more. I was clicking on thumbnails to see which was Patrick's entry this week. I almost didn't bother clicking on this one 'cause I thought there was no way it could be his. Oh well... there's always next week.

Re: Marshmallow Doom

This Shirt brought to you by... my sadistic mind while roasting marshmallows last night >:3

[Not only is the shirt cool, but you picked my favorite one: Samoas. Way to go.

Re: Misfortune

I hope you win. This shirt is really funny and clever. Plus, I want it. Props to you.

Re: Big Damn Heros

Ain't we just!

This is the best shirt ever.

THIS

I watched/listened to all of Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" while working on this, it was great and now I feel spacey.

Also, most apple pie recipes don't have eggs. I didn't know this before. There used to be an egg there.

Well, i am still hoping that there will be a "version 2" *sigh* But if that does not happen - this idea is so great, i would buy this shirt nevertheless :-)

I LOVE it! It's the best design in the whole competition!! Okay... maybe I am a little biased ;P

Re: Orange Juice

oh c'mon! its not bad! I would totally buy one!

megsck wrote:dont know why everyone is getting their panties in a bunch over the two elements not going together. to me this is very simple, if you wanted to make the cookie monster cuthulhu, then of course the earth would be a cookie. this is completely logical to me.

I think you are missing the point, though. That part of Cthulhu and the Earth being what they are is "fine"(though arguably overdone and the reference just seems forced in there); rather, and the reason it should be rejected, is that, as mentioned by many others previously, the cookie is not "anthropomorphic" and thus, this shirt is off-topic.

I must have this shirt!

Re: Hitchhiking jalapeno ghost peppers

Maybe this is the reason they scrapped it!

Re: 3 peas in a pod

when i saw the title and the thumbnail, i thought it was going to be mommy pea, daddy pea, and baby pea. that shirt, i would buy. can i make a request that you draw and submit 3 peas in a pod edition 2 with baby pea?

btw, the original 3 peas design is fabulous. very creative. but not something i would wear. it belongs in a museum.

I think those two brought their own dip.

Re: sushi!

I like this one (I actually prefer the brown with that pink), but what made you decide to use that style of sword? It seems to have a bit of a tanto-style tip, but it's a little too strait and doesn't really give that traditional feel. I know it's just a small thing, but it throws the rest of the design off a bit (to me anyway). Still, nice job with this. I absolutely love the contrasting expression and mood of the fish.

Re: Sausage Party!

You never sausage a party!

Re: Ninja Milk! We Sneak Pasteurize!

I know it's late in the derby. But this is by far one of my favorite jokes I've ever designed.

Re: The Penitent Ham

Awesome reference

Re: lactose intolerant!

Being lactose intolerant, of course this has my vote!

Perhaps licorice or a couple wafer cookies to make up the L's instead?

Plus, they look more like backwards J's instead of L's

laggyg wrote:I'm really bummed that this got rejected...I, too, hope it can find a home and print elsewhere...

Perhaps I don't understand copyright law (which I assume is the problem here), but I don't get why this would not be able to print, but other shirts (even the other portal related shirts from woot) are ok. It's really a shame though.

Because it uses the in game company logo and other things that don't just hint at the game but scream it.

I would have been very surprised if this didn't get the copyright boot. But I like what you did with the cut lemon - it looks like it is already on fire.

Re: Who's First?

I really like the idea, but the chicken have human-like legs is just too incongruous for me. :/

Not only is tea awesome and for that alone I want it to win - I need more Tea shirts. But, the execution is great. Each "character" is perfect, the colors are wonderfully chosen, and the shirt color matches nicely. Boo I say!

My hope now is that it will get chosen for an HM and then be in a Double-Take Derby, and then be chosen for an EC. I can wish, right?

Hehe yes - go tea!
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments and love of the shirt - I really appreciate it!

And I definitely like your wish - That would be great!;)

Re: I Know a Wienie Man

That's a really disturbing picture... he needs some pants on.

Re: Misfortune

If this design and the clue design don't both make it into the top 3 I may cry. Great job.

laggyg wrote:Cute AND Morbid...can't go wrong! GMV =)

You should talk your mom into buying a shirt or 2 so she can help vote your designs up. I'm still angry Breaking News didn't print, but grats on the HM on it! At least it will get a second chance in the next Double Take derby...

You are right. I shall buy a tshirt. Which one do you recommend?
