Really like this, like how you faded out the tree, although I wish the bottom of it extended a lil' bit lower on the t-shirt.
Still wonderful.

Re: Sad Snowman

This is lovely, understated and sweet. I'd find it more wearable if it was a bit smaller on the t-shirt, but with the swirly bits spread out wider, if that makes sense.

I agree. I thought it was a firefly at first.

Sorry, I darkened the background so the shirt would stand out. It's on red as in the icon, putting it on the shirt comp made it look the third shade (first time I've tried the shirt thing.)

I would think this is pop culture. Unless I don't understand the definition of pop culture.

Good call, I think it was a case of being too involved in the design to see it. I noticed that as well only after it was posted and I looked at the shirt on the image. Anyways, thanks so much for your kind words.

Re: A time to remember

Sorry, I just can't do white...

How do I do that? I downloaded the woot shirt template for Illustrator, and when I tried to save it as a .jpg or .png, it removed the shirt outline. I'm...kinda dumb when it comes to this sorta thing.
Thanks!

Re: Snow Fight

Love it! What a brrrr-iliant fight!

Re: Ice Dragon

Woah! Really sweet!

You've GMV.

Re: Marching Break

You erased the smiley face. It looks better without it.

I might just have to make a new note in my design book- "White = Fail". It will go nicely next to "Black = Win" and "Bunny = Super Win"

Nice fix, good work.

Re: Marching Break

I loved the smiley face...but I love it more without it! Hope this prints.

Re: Snow Days Forever

Two more plows behind the first one and I would look like that famous photograph of the Asian guy in front of three tanks.

Re: The Last Of His Kind (Re-Sub)

This shirt is sooooo awesome and GREEN! GMV

Re: Nose Thief

Don't blame the bunny! It was super hungry, so when it saw that heavenly carrot, who could blame it?! If I was starving in the dead of winter, I'd have the same mischievous smile after snatching that nose of a carrot. :D Great design!

Re: Ice Dragon

I think this is seriously stretching for a 'winter theme'...

Sucks to be the bottom portion of the snowman.

Really?!?

Pop Culture as defined by dictionary.com:

Commercial culture based on popular taste

I don't think Vivaldi qualifies.

Re: Vivaldi's Winter

I'd like to see shirt.woot give a solid definition of what the definition of 'text only' shirts are because this pretty much qualifies as gussied up text/symbols in my book, whether or not it fits the theme. Anybody can find a classical song related to winter or cold or snow or ice and slap icicles on it...

My mind was still in last week's derby theme, and Ice Dragons are some of the oldest recorded myths in Norse mythology.

I was very much tempted to do that, but I was concerned it would move into pop culture reference territory.

Re: Snowpenguin

Oh man I love penguins! This is the perfect original wintry pic! The only way this pic could have been better is if there were bunnies in it too! Shirt.woot is shamefully lacking in BOTH of these!

Re: Ice Dragon

I like dragons, however I don't really get any "wintery" feel from this design... other than the name. It just looks like a dragon in a night sky.

I don't think Vivaldi qualifies.

From your definition:

cultural activities or commercial products reflecting, suited to, or aimed at the tastes of the general masses of people.

Perhaps a world famous composer's work isn't a cultural activity suited to, or aimed at the tastes of the general masses of people.

I guess it's just me... I said perhaps I didn't understand the definition of popular culture... maybe you assumed that was sarcasm.

The design is really very nice, but I'm bothered about the fact that the snowflakes have eight arms, instead of the six of practically all real snowflakes.

Re: Chillin

Somehow the 'arms' of each snowflake remind me of awesome swords. Not sure why I have swords on the brain.

Short story: I love it.

The architecture of the snowflake is very complex, but the overall design FOR A T-SHIRT is too simple. There needs to be more to it...

ninjas = pop culture

Re: Round the Corner, Snowflakes are Made

Reminds me of one of my most favourite gags from Rocko's Modern Life. (Cloud chugging prune juice in an effort to make snow in time for xmas.) +1

Re: Snowpenguin

[SARCASM_DETECT] *beep!*

captainassassin wrote:Oh, this is a clever design.

It seems to me that the cup doesn't stand out very well [since the cup and the shirt are the same color]. I'm sure there are ways you can better define the cup, either with more halftones around the edge, or using a darker/lighter shade of red...

Thanks! Version 2 is now up.

Re: A Nice Warm Soak

This is so cute. Good job! You are on a roll.

Culture? Yes. But I'm pretty sure my childhood verifies that Vivaldi is decidedly not pop culture.

Some details of their faces.

Re: Look Up

This really sits well on the shirt!
