Shirt.Woot

Re: Night School

This shirt is amazing, I hope it prints because not only did it get my vote but it's probably going to be my first woot shirt

It also looks like a traced photo, which is against derby rules.

It is a traced photo. I missed that in the rules. Sorry about that. I tattled on myself for it.

"Caterpillar Dreams"

Textbooks for school make a great sleeping place. Caterpillar cat is studying to be a beautiful butterfly. Learning through osmosis!

I imagine that soon he will wiggle and fall off the books! Mid fall he will think he is flying but then oh noooo plop to ground.

If I can't get it right, if I can't get the anatomy at least vaguely accurate, I don't hand it over.

Well, your art is going to be indelibly applied to the customer's skin. If I decide later that I don't like a ramyb design, I can donate it to Goodwill...and if I don't like it now, I don't have to vote for it. Different mechanisms.

Losing 3 points off what could be an A essay is a lot better than getting the B and shrugging and saying "well, at least it was in on time."

Thus teaching the student that they can half-ass it the day before it's due and get an extension, instead of emphasizing that work should be both high-quality AND on-time, which is a skill they'll need after they leave your classroom and enter the working world.

It would be learning through diffusion actually, since osmosis is specifically the diffusion of water, but a very cute design none the less!

I started off doing just that... but, I felt it needed to be hand written so all the lines didn't look exactly the same. And, I didn't want to put the extra effort in to it when it was going to get rejected, anyway.

I've only a few tries myself. It's harder than it seems. I like this though- maybe it will be relevant to another derby someday.

Not exactly. They only get that option once.

And I have to see all the drafts, comment on them, and note significant progress. If it isn't there, my gift does not apply.

Would not have been much effort to have drawn an eraser below sitting on an edge. I guess you didn't want to disrupt the voting =).

Re: Caterpillar dreams

ZOMG!!!!! So cute...I want it now.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!

Thanks to everyone who enjoyed the shirt and voted

Well, first of all, I don't really get your patronizing tone considering I didn't even say anything negative, I just was trying to explain why it seems why your shirts always fog despite the backlash in the comments. Second of all, you're not exactly hard to find, nor was your Deviant Art following small, so I don't know why you think you HAD to mention Woot for people from Deviant Art to get here.

Re: Night School

this is amazing! +1

I never said it was a penis hat. I said it looked too penisy from a distance. Big difference.

Re: Room for one more.

I just noticed this one now! So great. Needs moar votes!

If you must know, the kid getting on the bus is from Ecuador and the girl with the pig-tails parents are from Ukraine. The bald kid is from Nigeria,the girl with black hair is a quarter Cherokee, and the short haired kid's mom is Korean. The Spiky haired kid is adopted from the Philippines and the driver, well, he's from Portland.

Hopefully that clears up the confusion.

oooo Portland, Maine or the "other" Portland?

I just left an apple out for the possum that comes by at night. I love the night creatures.

Not sure why this only has 16 votes; please don't be discouraged. This is a great design and very wearable.

Re: Protractor

Re: The Aviator

Yeah.... disrupt the voting.... that's it.

You can easily turn those gradient edges from the brush into half tone. I highly suggest using google or youtube to find some tuts for photoshop, some are better than others so be prepared to do some searching. SmashingMag is another great resource for tuts.

Even in old versions of photoshop you should be able to mess with your brush settings to get a hard edge if that is what you want. You should also google gradients they are not used in the final designs here but are a step used along the way.

Cool! Thanks for all the info!

Re: Caterpillar dreams

i don't get it!

Re: Night School

As usual...Genius!

Re: On the Way to School

This is adorable - but I don't "get it". Perhaps there's an in-joke I'm missing? If it hadn't been for the title of the shirt, I wouldn't have known this had anything to do with school. Help?

Also, Monroeville is a city just outside of Pittsburgh, PA. Virtually all of George A. Romero's movies were filmed or at least set in the area immediately surrounding Pittsburgh where he attended college. Including such films as the now legendary Night of the Living Dead (shot in Evans City), Dawn of the Dead (Monroeville Mall), And Land of the Dead (Set in Pittsburgh with scenes shot in Pittsburgh, Monroeville, and Evans City). This is the origination of the "Monroeville Zombies" T-shirt in Zack and Miri, as that film was also set in Monroeville, as a tip of the hat to Romero and his career works.

THAT being said, this is a brilliant shirt and I love the simple design of it! I'd definitely want one! Not only because I'm a huge fan of both George A. Romero and "Zack and Miri", but I also happen to live about 30 minutes outside of Monroeville. Get it printed! =)

Re: The Lamb Was Sure To Go

My almost-2yo's lovey-animal is a sheep. We sing this song to her every night... if this doesn't make the fog, I hope to see it on RedBubble in time for her birthday in September (hint hint!) GMV!

anyone else notice the arms are not the same length?

i cant stop seein that and its really awkward

Re: First day of class for all

This is fantastic! So much cute detial, but it's not overloaded. I love all of their expressions. I can't believe this doesn't have more votes!

Ha! Oh god, it has been SO many years since I was in school! I made these just for this derby.

Re: Packed for School

This needs to be on a shirt template or it will be rejected.

Re: Substitute Teacher

I think the table shouldve been sliced in half like if he fumbled with his lightsaber as it came out. or to the apple. =)

QMZN, you are so random. :P

Re: Caterpillar dreams

Oh God, I want this so much. The cuteness, the coloring, the neon green on black...it's like awesomeness exploded on a shirt. Too bad it was submitted late

Re: On the Way to School

This is just amazing. I mean, the characters, the expressions, the details... it's just all very clean and polished. And the shirt color is perfect. It comes together very well.

Re: Night School
