Re: What Could Go Wrong?

Loving this one. Definitely a winner for me.

I was thinking more of Big O if you are going anime type, especially with the giant robots. :D

Re: What Could Go Wrong?

Love the coloration on this. Not sure I would take it for a shirt, but definitely a wallpaper or poster. Great work, though.

Re: Laundry Day

The line between the blue clothespins has no color.

Re: What Could Go Wrong?

I love most of your designs NB. GMV

Re: Mowing with Style v.2

I honestly thought this was a playing card back.

Re: Line Dried SHIRT

I was also hoping this bag design would have been a shirt. GMV

This is actually really cool, but your thumbnail does not do it justice! Shoulda put it in as the boy maybe?
Clear up the lines on the chores as well, as it looks a bit too much like a muddled mess (although I guess this is your intention, understandably so, but i feel it should be a bit more eye-friendly)
Remember these are just personal preferences, so with a pinch of salt take them!
+1

Edit: Just to clarify, i like the background grey squiggles too, tis the lines on the monster cloud i was on about above.

Re: Interlude

Mmm my post was deleted... ?Por que, woot?

Still, I like the shirt. Good, clean design.

I see what you did there...

Also, whats with the "people who don't do chores" hate? That's odd. If they want to live in a dirty house let them (and don't marry or live with one).

You just won an annoying Woot screaming monkey of your very own. Make sure your address is up to date!

LMAO... seems like such a random mystery icon. Congrats on winning!

Re: What Could Go Wrong?

Too bad it's late..... I want this!!! +1 GMV

Re: Housework: not worth the risk (resub)

Ahahahahaha I <3 this shirt!

Re: Interlude

As much as the cutesy animal shirts get repetitive, more artsy shirts like this are the kind I always buy.

Beautiful design, make more like this plox and I will keep voting for and buying them.

Re: I'm just doing my job

Brb hating on ramyb for making *two* shirts in this derby that I actually really like.

Good job sir, good job.

Like vacuuming but with Penguins.

This is adorable! I really hope it wins even though I really have too many blue shirts already. haha

Lol!

Thanks, guys.

Re: Raking

I want this! I'd have fall with me every day of the year!

Re: Interlude

This is beautiful! I'd love to have this as a shirt!

Re: What Could Go Wrong?

Aw man, what happened to that sketch of the defiant kid in front of the mountain of toys in the pre-derby thread? That was epic.

Re: Nature Abhors a Vacuum

Bahahaha! Can we PLEASE get this printed? If I see another weekend trifecta of cutesy/quirky/"smart" shirts, I think I'm gonna throw up. Let's get some random variety in here!

You'll see him again, promise.

I dunno what you posted (it can't be that outrageous or you'd be on probation) but woot mods are pretty touchy in Ramyb entries. When you are cleaning up the flood of non-constructive hate (from both sides) sometimes valid criticism gets axed too.

Personally I don't have the technical issues with this design that I often have with his entries, but a swirly halftone-y breeze is hardly new or special from him or 20 other artists on Woot. One of these prints in a slightly different flavor every few months it seems.

It's inevitable in a Ramy thread, I'm just surprised it took that long.

Re: Sock Monster

I always blamed gnomes, but this is too awesome. Nice job!

Re: Interlude

I like it, just wish it wasn't on brown. We had two season-type shirts that were on brown.

Play with some color! How would this look on a light blue (daytime) or if it's night, a grey?

Summery:
Nice, but too close to previous shirts with the brown.

Re: magical mouse sweeps up the cheese crumbs

just wanted to say that right now i really wish I was this mouse...we dont have a mop (just a swiffer) doesnt work so well with tile...had to get on hands and knees and scrub the floor like that...lol half tempted to make a shirt out of it...but I already have a second design in the making and a third would just be more than I have time for

Re: Interlude

Much better than a cat on a Roomba. It is similar to some your past works, but I still love the execution. Nicely done.

I wasn't criticizing though! I like this design, and said so! lol!

i simply asked for...
(see below, message posted in two, lest it get deleted again)

Re: Interlude

Contd...

I simply asked for some backstory on some of the vitriol that is directed towards certain artists here. Because quite clearly I am missing something. (Certain names seem to pop up a lot, I won't mention them this time.)

taylertot wrote:Considering the shirt shows a person playing video games, watching TV, and surfing the Net instead of doing chores, it seems more likely the person is lazy than depressed.

How do you imagine depressed people spend their time? I don't presume this shirt is about depression, but people confusing emotional difficulties with laziness really irks my tater.

Re: Line Dried SHIRT

Vote! VOTE! Go, shirt, go!

Re: Interlude

Having said all that above, and what with being done being rational and all, I have to say cat on a roomba is utter sh-it.e.
(i, unlike obviously some, have nothing against the artist. One design is wonderful, imo, one is not. Shrug shoulders. C'est la vie. Walk on.)

Re: Mowing with Style v.2

This rejection was totally weird. As diagrammed, it was exactly within the printable area, unless the print-ready file was dramatically different.

Mind you, without the derby context, I'd only see the playing card back too. You might consider using it as a base in a card-themed derby.

I assume it's the dust cloud you're challenging. It's black and white, with spacing and scatter adjusted at very small pixel sizes using a Wacom tablet. That being said, I understand it's your site and your contest, and so it's your call, and what it appears to be to you is ultimately what matters.

But for future reference, let me ask you this--is it legal to use a soft edge brush like those in Photoshop, or are those gradients?

kinkajou1015 wrote:I'm glad you decided to resub this, however I do kinda wish you would have left some of the color like keep the lemons yellow, and give the sky a blue tinge, nothing major a washed out color. But still, I love it and have voted, again.

Ditto. For me the really striking part of the design was the way the yellow leaped out of the monochrome background. It's still lovely, though.

A soft edge brush or anything else that makes more than one color of pixel is a gradient and needs to be converted to half-tones in the print-ready file. If you're using a vector art format, the rules are slightly different, but you still have to show what the half-tones would look like on the main design image.

If the half-tones are very fine, designers will put an actual-size closeup to make the appearance clear. However, be aware that the process doesn't support blocks of color smaller than 20px across very well, or smaller than 5px across at all.

Here's the classic Designing for the Derby thread with a lot more information and links.
