Re: Threads

Thanks qetza and missmelis, I'm glad you like it.

Here's a bit more information on the significance of other colors in African weaving, if you're interested.

Black — maturation, intensified spiritual energy.
Grey — healing and cleansing rituals; associated with ash.
Maroon — the color of mother earth; associated with healing.
Pink — assoc. with the female essence of life; a mild, gentle aspect of red.
Purple — assoc. with feminine aspects of life; usually worn by women.
Silver — serenity, purity, joy; assoc. with the moon.

Re: Big Game Animals

I love the effort you put into the shading. It really shows on a plain white t-shirt, and looks great. I hope it prints! +1

Re: Lilac Breasted Roller

Is this an African or European Swallow ?

Re: Big Game Animals

Great design and I like the white shirt! GMV

I am super sad that it's not.
I love it for the giraffe's face alone.
The detail work is great too! I hope, hope, hope it prints!!

Mind blown. Good work.

Thanks you guys!

Thanks for appreciating the work.

This is great. Not sure how people can say they don't like it because the moon isn't realistic enough, I mean you are allowed some creative license. Not to mention if realism is your thing, visible music notes should probably bother you more than the minor moon detail.

Re: Lapwing sunset

I'm a sucker for lions.

Oh and tigers too, but mostly lions, especially if they have crowns.

That is pretty sweet, i liked your hitch hikers shirt!

Re: Big Game Animals

Thanks for all the comments and votes everyone. I had a hard time coming up with something I liked for this derby. This was sort of a last minute thing but I like how it turned out.

Re: Serengeti

This is one of my favorites of the derby. The energy in the lines and the color choices, beautiful!

Re: Spotless

Such an interesting idea and so well executed as well.

Oddly reminiscent of "S is for Safari" by Walmazan...

Re: The Jungle Dance

Love it!

Oh no! You're right. I even used the same color T-Shirt! Now I feel like an ass. I don't want to remove it because of the time that I spent. However, if I am asked to remove it I will. Respect

This just raises another question. . . .

Re: Candy Land Safari

Also the front view of the copyrighted cookie-monster is likely not parody or vague enough to pass by the rejectionator.

You're right I'm probably gonna get rejected and I see that other design is in the fog! I will buy one for sure if it wins.

wow this really is a great design, i don't even see the giraffe

Re: adorable tragedy

Oh noes!

Re: Sunset Serenade

Looks like you're close to the fog - I'll be telling people about this one until Friday! My kids would LOVE to have this shirt.

Re: Intimidated

The design of this tshirt is awesome. I have to agree that I wish the lion itself was a little more yellow/less gray, but that didn't stop me from voting. I'm hoping people will notice this and vote it up quickly - if not.... Redbubble baby! I WANT this shirt!!!

Re: Afraid of the Dark

Well this is an incredibly late entry but I really liked the idea. Hopefully everyone feels the same way. Lets see how far this little guy can get.

Re: Afraid of the Dark

Go here to see a larger version of the design.

Re: The Hunt

I want a print of this. Woot really needs to open an artprint.woot.com.

I had to reply just to see what you had originally typed. haha.

I love the epression on the lion's face!

Re: Afraid of the Dark

It's adorable. I love the way you cartoon. I do wish the shadows were a bit more asymmetrical and unpredictable. Still, gmv.

Re: Head in the Clouds

Finally! Someone who knows where the eyes are supposed to look. gmv.

Re: S is for Safari

This is really clever! Love it

Yeah, I can't argue with ya there. I see a lot that I would like to do different. Knowing it was already a late entry, I was mainly focused on finishing it. Honestly its chances are pretty slim so I can go back and fix some things later.

sleekhare wrote:It's adorable. I love the way you cartoon. I do wish the shadows were a bit more asymmetrical and unpredictable. Still, gmv.

At the risk of sounding like an booooo, I thought the symmetry was pretty weird because I didn't see the face at first. Now I see it and it's awesome- gonna be a rough night for the monkey though.
