Shirt.Woot

Re: The name's Bond.

Yeah cool concept it made me corny laugh but you do have to show the design placement in the shirt comp image.

Wow I love this one. If you do not mind me asking, how do you get your sketch onto a shirt so effectively? Scanning a pencil drawing seems like it would produce too many colors for the six color limit and it seems like it would be too hard to CAD something like this.

Let me know if any don't make sense.

Either Woot allows some latitude or there really is no derby. Note that only one of the spell things with elements shirts has been rejected - probably because it was too similar, but given the number that are out there, you could reject them ALL for being too similar. If a shirt is an obvious copy -spot on plagarism - then it should be rejected even if it was an obvious idea. But it should be a spot on copy, or, again, no derby.

As I noted above, I don't think this is plagiarism; rather, just a case of very similar ideas....There's only so many ways you can do a caffeine structure shirt. That being said, while one can argue about the amount of original ideas still remaining, it's certainly clear that caffeine chemical structure shirts are a frequently used (one might argue overused, but, your mileage may vary) shirt design.

This.

Seriously, that's the reason I voted for this.

Very funny!

Re: Ferrous Wheel

Fe++ would make this an automatic win.

Re: DOPAMINE

This would look awesome on my truck's mudflaps

Re: Old School

Win for adding aether.

Re: Chemical Compounds

What is this? No, seriously, what is this?

Re: Chemistry LOL

ha! too right adorable.

Re: beaker beeker

Maybe a small problem: "No anthropomorphic test tubes, bunsen burners, or other lab equipment." and copyright issues.

Thanks!
I just colored their template and didn't even notice the collar. I have a replacement post at the ready if it comes down to it.

Re: Ferrous Wheel Fun

But...how is the water bound?

This has validity.

Re: Chemistry LOL

Oh, yeah, definitely want this one.

Clever.

This is wonderful

Re: Ba is for Barium

this one's really clever. nice work!

Her tears catalyzed a strange reaction.

Re: Better Living Dead

thanks for the detail. solid work here.

Re: Chemically Imbalanced

This is "Woot Au!" (Gold) My wife absolutely loves this and I do, too. I hope this prints so we can wear it to our Highschool reunion, in September. Everyone will be so jealous and want one, but I don't think any of them are wooters or I could sponge more votes!

Re: Chemical and Barman

Great work on this. Very clean lines and colors

I was really hoping to see Unobtanium make the list (most widely known from Avatar, but has appeared elsewhere). And, although much more obscure, I was hoping to catch Metatron somewhere (from Zone of the Enders).

Very fun design, though! =)

I was actually pleasantly surprised not to see the Unobtanium reference. I had figured that to be one of the "obvious" picks.

Or the new element in Iron Man 2 that I can't recall the name of.

Re: Periodic Turntable (Resub)

Flipped the table and this time on Navy.

Re: Spectral Oxygen

Re: beaker beeker

I love this! Sique halftones, clever design, and beautiful presentation, but Zekecatz is right, this probably will be rejected.

Cool design Expo. +1

Re: Inventing Life

Love your sketchy style. GMV

Re: Identity Code

Rooting for this.

Re: The three classical states of matter

This is awesome man!

I almost did Adam Ant with sideburns and the triple claws in his Prince Charming pose. But I thought it might have been over people's heads, that was back in the 80s and kind of a distant connection. But the idea made me smile, since he was such a "dandy" and Wolverine is such as Badass!

Thanks again for the vote,
BlindDog3D

At least you didn't say Atom Ant.

Re: Periodic Turntable (Resub)

I like it much, much better, but that don't look like navy, more like Asphalt, but it could be my laptop's monitor. I'll check it on the "Big Boy" when I get home.

+1 for the Chemical Brother.

Re: React Button

Great work!

Re: Chemists Provide Solutions

Great!

Re: questionable table of elements

Would make a nice print!

Re: Better Living Through Alchemy

Very dynamic!

Re: The alchemist' assistant (of doom)

Okay first and foremost, a big thank you to all those who took the time to offer words of advice and encouragement, both were greatly appreciated! Thank you.
