Re: Order of the O-Cult

This is probably one of my favs from you. I'm excited to see it do so well. Now let's see a print!

How can you vote if you haven't bought a shirt?

Yeah I agree. Sadly.

I get so worked up about this because in college I made a watercolor painting of an avocado, I got the color exactly right. A panel of instructors at my semester review said the green looked like barf, too!!! I was like "that's what a freaking avocado looks like! They are brownish green, what the crap?"

I think Shrek is supposed to be green and if people think that barf is green... well you'll just have to show them otherwise!

Yeah... unfortunately I sort of agree with them.
I think a problem with a lot of my designs is this: that this is a pretty good drawing, and pretty accurate blend/representation of WoW and Shrek. However, people don't want a big ugly ogre on their chest. And I don't know that grass colored shirts are all that popular.

Shirt design is really a balance between making something funny/novel and making something attractive. People don't generally want ugly things on them- even if it is well done.

But thanks for the kind words, anyway.
And I'm sorry about your bad experience with avocados. People can be so cruel when it comes to vegetables.

Re: The Orb-Weaver

Thanks for all the great comments everyone! It's nice to see something I spent so much time on doing well. Thanks a bunch!

Re: Ocarina of Timepieces

Obese animals (in cartoon form) are always hilarious. :D

I don't know if I would wear this... OK, I know, but I was trying to be nice.

bile is green like that, though, and sometimes, when you're really, really sick and you've barfed up everything else, you'll see that bile liquid nastiness. just sayin'

Thanks everyone!

paigeg wrote:Please share the GIMP secret - I know taylertot isn't the only one interested. That goofy Newprint filter just suxx.

LOL unfortunately the GIMP secret for halftones IS the newsprint filter, but if you do it a certain way they will look fine. My entry "the redwood estate" was made with GIMP and used that filter for the background. I know it didn't win, but the halftones didn't look horrible.

Maybe I'll post how to do it on the forums?

I use combinations either texture files or texture brushes. Thanks!

turtlegir1 wrote:I totally agree! This would be a really cool coffee mug!

Second, it's interesting you have 2 shirts that are like a story, the reverse of each other. Interesting....This one is the better of the 2, though.

I agree! Would love to see it on a mug! T-shirt is my first choice tho

It's not going to make it, but thanks jessison! And very happy to hear you love odd bear out!:D

Re: Owl I Want is a Cup of Coffee

Thanks to everyone who voted and commented!

I like larger prints myself and think print size is personal preference, I usually try to display them larger on the mock-up so they show up better.

Thanks very much!

runnerfrog13 wrote:Haha, it took me a bit to get the joke, I'm so slow -.- Agree, this is the funniest octopus design in the derby, it's so random!

I probably wouldn't wear it, but the colors work GREAT together and with the shirt, very nice pairing, and your linework is nice too. Great job on that octopus head.

Thank you! I think it turned out really well myself. I'm not surprised it didn't go further in the Derby as it's a lot more bold and non-gradienty than the best performing stuff, but I'm proud of the design. I will almost certainly use it elsewhere.

Re: Organ Organs

Kinda creepy, but clever. Like the style and the thinking-outside-the-box.

Re: Ancient Oak

I see another winner! This is an instant buy when (not if) it wins.

Re: Owl I Want is a Cup of Coffee

God, i want to buy this shirt for my GF. It's perfect in so many ways.

Re: Oranges Blood Oranges

Reminds me of Hannibal. +1, hope it makes it!

Lol! Sorry! I only meant that the lines might appear fuzzy on fabric, or at least look odd controured over the Twins. I get the woodblock look. But I think I like this better.

taylertot wrote:Not that I think this is a trace, and for that matter, not that I think it isn't a trace...but geez, how the heck do you go about finding that out? I just Googled "Octopus," and that image definitely isn't in the first hundred or so. Seriously, this isn't a joke...how the heck did you come up with that?

Anyone who has spent any amount of time on regretsy.com will recognize the ubiquitous octopus pendant.

icspots wrote:The Fountain with Hugh Jackman. I thought the same thing when I saw this.

Absolutely breathtaking design.

That's the one.

Hey Rad, just got your Rock, Paper, Scissors shirt today. I love it! Love the detail on your shirt this week too--I like Shrek, but didn't know it was a WoW reference (don't really know anything about World of Warcraft, actually. However, I've heard ignorance about Wow gives me a +124 cool factor).

(by the way, I've had long shifts at work lately and wasn't able to see how things unfolded with the rejected design before it disappeared, so if some one has a link to the comments thread that had this I'd appreciate a link in a PM)

There is no link to the specific comments thread for the rejected/removed design that ramyb submitted, but the individual comments are in the derby comment thread (along with all of the comments on all of the other submitted designs).
