And I second the blue.

Yeah this is pretty awesome design. Flows quite nicely too.
Do it! ( please :o)

Plus blue or navy methinks.

Back to the original sketch for puppy dog eyes - bigger eyes, tilted head, etc... thoughts? Is this better?

Or would it be better to have the puppy asking for something? (a bone, a treat, etc?)
More like this (roughly done):


And I haven't decided on the dog dreams color yet, so if you have an opinion, please feel free to give it

The head tilt is great. But, did he break a plate? A chewed-up slipper or something would work better, IMHO. I do like the 'asking' idea too, though. My only thought on color is not gray. Any gray. That's a personal thing with me, tho - WAY too many gray woots shirts in my closet!

The expression on the dog looks like he's really got to go. What if was raining in the background outside? Do you think that would add a little more to the story here?

Umm, it's great, but I doubt the little dog tinkling in the corner will pass the rejectionator. Since this isn't Star Trek: Next Generation, I don't think that Number One will be allowed.

colors are not pantone. I don't know if this style is right for this project. I might try a few more different executions.

I would have thought simply a lead at the dogs feet would speak volumes. Just my two cents. I mean the dog is so well drawn, that nothing too extravagant is needed, and everyone knows that look!

Do I find it hilarious (and will therefore submit it anyway)? ABSOLUTELY.

This is wonderful! I don't see a problem with it (though I don't work for Woot). It'll definitely get lots of laughs.

Haha love it

jasneko wrote:Thanks for the color choices!

I'm a little confused because people were commenting from two different places, but I think from what I'm seeing, it's down to these three: brown, navy blue, royal blue. So of these, go ahead and give your preference if you like it - thanks!

I like the brown and the navy blue the best, but I'm not terribly choosy about shirt color. The color of the shirt never really keeps me from buying something, unless it's white, because then I inevitably get something messy on it within ten minutes of wearing it. I really love this design, and I don't generally like to nitpick, but I have to say... the way the squirrel tail and the mailman keep changing color to match the shirt is a total dealbreaker for me. Those two things just stand out so much from the other two... I think it's adorable, but that little detail would honestly keep me from buying it.

I love it with the broken dish! This is absolutely the way my dog looks at me when he knows he's done something wrong.

I suggested things other than the lead because of Skek's sub. Any one of a dozen simple things would work.

What do you think?

If this prints, it will be the first Star Wars shirt I ever buy. Unless my boyfriend gets to it first. (Not a big fan of the matching outfit thing.)

Very funny, well done!

One of (many) ideas I had was not too dissimilar to this, except involving uniquely shaped air fresheners!

Edit: Maybe if this ain't rejected I might give it a go.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, I really appreciate it!

@yellowflower - thanks for the thoughts. I know it looks weird seeing the colors change each shirt color, but if you saw it as a whole do you think it would look as weird? I do agree a blue squirrel tail is weird (I would actually color it black I thought, in those cases), but independently, is it that odd looking?

Edit: Update on Puppy Dog Eyes. Better?

Do you think? That little detail is pretty innocuous and it ties to the idea behind the design.

(Woot?)

Sorry I wasn't dissing your advice, it was just the most recent post on the design!

Getting in a bit late, but here are a couple ideas I'm working on:

1: Mr. Peabody & Sherman as Dr. Brown & Marty McFly...Maybe call it "Wayback to the Future" or something.

2: Dog with a slingshot aimed at a squirrel in a tree but the squirrel has a bazooka/RPG aimed back down at him.


Thoughts?

This popped into my head last night. Thoughts?

Thanks Travis! :^)

I will submit it as it is but keep a tinkle-free version in reserve. hyuk.

Which color?

Odd One Out

I don't think it's so much the way they keep changing that looks weird to me, it's that the two on the right (the squirrel and the mailman) have a significant color difference than the two on the left. Maybe if they alternated, so it was -bunny, squirrel, cat, mailman,- or -squirrel, bunny, cat, mailman,- it wouldn't look so off to me. Or maybe if there was some of the darker color somewhere in the bunny and cat. On the brown one I didn't notice it quite as much, but in the other colors it was really obvious and very... I guess asymmetrical is the word. Otherwise, though, I absolutely love it.

And I love Puppy Dog Eyes, too.

I <3 the royal blue!

I think you should choose a color for the shirt and then mess with the colors of the image to match.

Maybe this is TMI but I have a tetrad color scheme of red green yellow blue in the comp I posted. So maybe if you figure out your color scheme that will help. Most artist do this intuitively but when you hit a brick wall it is good to know a little color theory.

I made some changes to my framing and resubbed...



If anyone has any feedback on the style or colors I picked (or the just how appaling an idea it is to wear something that 32 dogs have peed on) then please let me know. ^_^

So many great shirts. I have a feeling I'm going to have to make room in my closet for them. Hey Woot-gods, just for this derby, do you think we could maybe possible take the top 7 and sell them all this week?

For the number of "I'd want one" I've clicked already, that ... such would be quite an expensive week for me. So please stick to the top 3, Woot!

This derby has done excellent job of getting Florence and the Machine's "Dog Days are Over" stuck in my head over and over again.

Yep, within 20 seconds of reading the theme the drums started. >_<

Hadn't even thought of it once....till now.
I've definately had my share of derby related songs stick with me through the many hours working on a design. 'Blinded Me With Science' from the Science Fair Derby was a tough one to shake off.

Shirts from this derby will be your new best sellers. People love babies and puppies, and since babies rarely make to a Shirt.Woot this is our only chance.

Did we lose the mystery icon already?

I thought it was fun and now *poof*, no more mystery icon.

I hope it was just overlooked this week.

I don't think it needs the fire hydrant in the background, from a distance the shape and color is enough. And if Woot doesn't approve of that one dog, maybe just have him lifting his leg would get by.

SeedUvPain wrote:This popped into my head last night. Thoughts?

Looks great the way it is. It might be fun to toy around with the dog holding the tissue box maybe have him be a breed without spots and have the spots like they got on him as well as the ground.
