Re: No Escape

I love the one that's pawing at the boat, so cute! And very nice background/environment, I always find that to be so hard...

Re: All Sails Ahead!

I think it's interesting in that--possibly--the stronger a design is, the stronger the response!! (e.g: boring.. hate it.. love it, etc.).

My designs never get hate-mail/comments. Read: they're too boring or lower quality, blah blah.

Having said all that, I agree with Bass in that if the sails were translucent, or 'lighter', maybe the color of the setting sun, you'd have a better balance around Capt. Jack up on the stern, or catshead. Nice skull, btw.

Awesome, I think it's wearable.

Re: Digital Piracy

I think people would have to get very close to see the numbers on the shirt.

Is it the bow? idk.

Re: The PiRAT

I think this is a good take on the pi-rat. I actually really like that the 3.14 for the ear is bigger, it gives you a more obvious starting point and likely makes the joke more quickly apparent.

Re: From Sea to Sky

I really love the style on this one, so whimsical and beautiful!

Re: Look, No Hands!

I like it! ...but don't get it...

Digital clocks doesn't have the 'hands'. The hands represents the minutes and hours. Since he's a digital clock, he showed it to the 'normal' clock that he can do it 'No Hands'!

Hope you get it!

and this relates to this week's theme how?

Re: X marks the spot

I want this on a poster too.

Depends on where you live.

That is why I didn't get it.

If you live in TX.

And yes, I am in for 3 if this one makes it. Just wish it was offset or on the sleeve instead. Front and center is a little overdone.

Re: X Marks the Pot...

...of gold.

From what I gather from your post, all you're telling the designer is essentially "the way you interpreted the derby theme is boring". What would you have the designer do differently? This is the constructive criticism I was talking about that your post lacks.

I'm saying that the artist typically justs illustrates the theme on a base level, and that is what makes it boring to me. While technically very proficent, I personally find most of this artist's work that he submits here devoid of an kind of style or trademark.
In mention his composition because I can't really recall a design of his that looks like it was anything more than an illustration put on a shirt.

This is totally just my personal opinion, and I apologize if I didn't get my point across before. My recomendation for the artist is to possibly try experimenting with difrent styles, and thinking more outside of the box with his compositions. I believe if he could pair up some more creativity with his technically skill, I'd find myself liking his work a lot more.

Re: Incompetent Fools

Wow. Alright. Tell you what, I'll do an edit, no text and no paper. Then delete this one if everyone seems to prefer the resub.

Re: Incompetent Fools (No Text)

Resub no text

Re: Arrrgyle Parrot

I like it but think it would be better without the crow's nest. Just the parrot perched on the sail.

Re: Some Translation Required

I rarely vote for trying-to-be-funny shirts, but you got enough laughs out of me, and here it is :D

Re: ghost ship

Re: Incompetent Fools (No Text)

This is hilarious. GMV.

Re: Polly on Jolly

I really like your style here. It looks lithographic.

I'm not completely sold on this as a shirt, but as a digital painting it's awesome. The sense of volume is so strong this almost feels 3D. Very impressive lighting too.

they REALLY should offer all these shirts as hi-res wallpapers

Re: ARRR!

Nice expression for pirates. I love the design!

Re: ARRR!

I love the pirates and the color combinations!

Re: Arrrrrrgyle

I've never seen that one from Glennz and I can't even compete with someone like him!
I did this while back just for fun and I think aesthetically is very different although it's the same concept...And people obviously don't like this one so no worries!;)

Re: Arrrrrrgyle

It's not Glennz but Glenn but all the same...

Re: Shiver Me Timbers

A family member told me another artist has an entry in the derby with this concept (there may be more than one). So I've refrained from looking at the derby until now. Sorry for the double up on ideas and I hope you enjoy this take.

Re: Digital Piracy

Awesome.

Glad you cleared that up. Groovy colouring, tjost, and nifty idea too! +1

I hope I'm wrong.

not this again. i wanted the little kitty faces so much!

Re: Incompetent Fools (No Text)

Great joke Mr Debris. It reads very well on the shirt.
+1

Re: Pi Rat

There are a lot of Pi Rat's around. What better way to say it!

Re: Incompetent Fools (No Text)

pretty!

reminds me of an old belgian comic ("De geverniste zeerovers" from the "Suske & Wiske" series) in which a magical varnish brings objects to life. first is a chair, which attacks the protagonists (who are making a journey by ship).
the varnish gets spilled over a set of tin soldiers and a model of a pirate ship, so the protagonists end up at a piratey island, fighting wooden pirates.

Re: P I R A T E !

I tried a new shading technique on this one guys tell mre what you think?
