Your ship would benefit greatly with the addition of sails.

HA! Ya think? ;D

Thanks for the heads-up on the pregnant look.

now the pregnant look could be part of the story....you know, sailor is gone leaving her with a bun in the oven....

Here's where I am at on my Baba Yaga design. What do you guys think? any suggestions?

I'm having trouble with the pestle and the broom - and that may just be that my brain isn't equipped to deal with it. I love the look of Baba Yaga herself. How 'bout the hut on the ground to indicate her altitude?

Yeah, here's a suggestion: Print it!
Looks like a character from The Dark Crystal mashed with the witch from Snow white (she scared the bajesus outta me as a child!). Awesomeness!

Really dark, I love it!

also, do her eyes look creepy? should I do them the way I had them before?

Personally, I think the eyes are a little close together. I'd move her right eye out a little. And there's something a little off with her neck. Maybe shave a tiny bit off the back? I'm not sure if that will make it look really long though.

I liked the bubbles on the original outer edges, but I don't know the story, so the darker tone of the second one may fit it better.

I'm really excited that DoOomcat is back for this one, and I hope she can submit some designs. :D

I ditched "The Sick Lion" sketch after I saw it was a fable... Worked up a couple more. The first is a Grimm's tale called ""The Crystal Ball". The second is a comic style "Ninja Red Riding hood".

Hey guys,
I'm new to the site and about to enter my first submission for the derby. Looks like a great site and I love the new topics every week. Just finished my design so here's goes nothing. Good luck everyone and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's work!

Here's what I've done so far.



Gonna alter some things, but this is the general entry.


*edited picture...decided to go with a blue shirt color instead of cream...

I like the colors and design, but she looks a little prego there.

EDIT: Apparently said and agreed. Looking forward to seeing the final.

That's a fresh red riding hood design. Nice.

I like the art for the girl and her face is great, but maybe there's a different fairy tale you could use it with...Red and the wolf is kinda overdone.

Will someone PLEASE do the 3 bears eating Goldilocks (the little felon).

I second this so much that this is my first Woot forum posting. That's how much I want this shirt.

Here's my initial sketch. Forgive all the crap bg coloring from the scanner

Ok, forget my earlier idea. This is WAY better.

Any other suggestions? At first I was going to do a more contemporary hat/headgear but then I was thinking it might lose the fairytale reference. Thanks!

Closed eyes, brown shirt, blue hat

here's what I have

I AM SO IN LOVE W/THIS!

Someone needs to do The Nightingale. I think this could be a great shirt. With either the actual bird or the mechanical one in the story.

The Selfish Giant might be an interesting shirt.

"A giant erects a wall to keep children out of his garden, reaping the consequences of a continuous winter. After months of winter with no other seasons in sight, spring suddenly returns when the children slip into a hole in the wall and play in the trees, except for one corner of winter where a little boy is too small to climb into the tree. The giant's heart melts at the sight and, realizing how selfish he's been, he helps the child into the tree. He then tears down the wall and tells the children it was their garden to play in."

I'm going to go ahead and assume this would be rejected.

Ohh. It's right there.

Why does she have a broom instead of the pestle? I always heard it was a pestle.

I like that version better.

Haha I like this one best.

Not a huge fan of the bunny, I think I'd rather just have white in the middle to draw attention there.

I was thinking maybe you could lay some boots next to the box... but then maybe the reference is obvious enough without, I don't remember if I put two and two together before seeing the title or not @_@. Plus that might overly complicate things... In summary, I am useless.

Thinking about doing a beauty and the beast shirt with beauty as a guest on the dating game, and the beast and two princess on the other side of the wall. What do you think?

she also had a broom of birch which she uses to sweep away her tracks. In the stories she has a pestle which uses as a pestle but when searching online many of the early illustrations of her excluded the pestle.

Pretty cool Midgerock, though I'm not sure about the "cyber" elements. Cyborg Ya Ya?

ETA2: I think this would look better with a "distressed" look instead of the "faded-retro" look.

eta: check your PMs.

I thought of distressing it but recently I've noticed a majority of people aren't really liking the distressing I normally do. I like the distressing myself but trying something different to see what people like.

as to the cyborg feel, that was not intentional. The glowing eyes was more for effect and eerieness.

I keep thinking about the original Little Mermaid tale (HCA, I believe). I have this image in my head of her dancing, and feeling like her feet are being stabbed each time, leaving a trail of blood behind her. But sadly, no artistic talent whatsoever. Also, is anyone else sad that mermaids have no souls and become foam instead? And maybe if they're good, they get to have a soul in a few centuries? I hate making myself sad on Fridays.

Apelad, I really like that! (I may be biased, I was toying with 'The Boy Who Cried Worf' :p ). I don't think it would be rejected either, just avoid the starfleet insignia and you're golden.

copy that.

Actually, I was referring to the circuit trace looking thing on her back and that her hands look robotic vs. organic.
I think her (and the Crow's) eyes are fine.
