Re: Quarrrter

Gotta say that I much prefer your idea to your wife's, but I'll have to get input from my 5th grader as to which he finds more humorous.

Re: No Quarter Given

That. Is. Awesome! I will totally get one if this makes it through.

Re: Know Your Pirates

This may be pop cultureish. If so, I apologize, and feel free to reject it. It doesn't have a chance of printing anyway since it's so late and I just wanted it out there. But I thought this was cute enough to give it a try anyway. Six colors on black.

Re: iPatch

iLike.

Re: Know Your Pirates

I like the touch of adding the pi symbol to the geek's shirt.

This is a cute and funny design. +1

Re: iPatch

I like it, but fear it will be rejected on the basis of 'pop culture'. :/

Smart concept though (I especially love the 'logo').

what you said!

Re: Shiver Me Timbers

Really like the seasonal direction you took this in collinvh. Some nice subtle elements to discover while taking it in. Why the leaves were arranged as they are took me a little long to figure, which is strikes me as funny considering it was staring me in the face.

Re: Forbidden Treasure

I would buy one if it didn't look like my junk was about to be crushed by an anchor. Pretty tho.

Re: No Escape

I may not be the world's biggest fan of felines on fashion but am very impressed at the work that's gone into this. Thanks for supplying the closeup view bass. There's a lot of neat design flourishes to appreciate.

Re: Pirate Hooks of the World

Very nice.

Re: Jolly Rorschach

Very clever! As a general rule, if it makes me laugh and has no anthropomorphic animals/food, it gets my vote!

+1

Re: Pirate vs Nin-

At this size I can't tell if that's only 6 colors, but I don't care at the moment. I got a big LOL out of it!

Re: Pirate Hooks of the World

Switzerland - I see what you did there! Lol!

Re: Redbeard's Institute of Piratry, Est. 1512

I'm not a fan of the white lettering - looks too much 'laid over' the sign. It doesn't really fit with the rest of the texturing.

Re: The King

This looks like it is from a picture/photo, so unless you own the picture, Woot probably can't print this.

They also tend to avoid celebrities for the same reason.

Re: Pirate Hooks of the World

hahaha very nice concept!

Re: Cyber Pirate

And again, Walmazan heeds the call and belts one out of the park. Love it and instant buy if it wins!

+1

Re: Know Your Pirates

Very good, well done!

I get a surprising amount of my life philosophies from t-shirts. XD

Thanks!

Re: Pirate Hooks of the World

I love the added texture. Lovely work.

Re: Pirate Hooks of the World

I like this, but you might be violating the pop culture rule with the Neverland reference. I'm voting and we'll see.

Re: Pirate Hooks of the World

Great job on coming up with that many ideas that are immediately recognizable and strongly identify with a country. But Ireland sold it for me.

LUUURRVVEE (love)

Re: The King

THere is an address to send non-theme drawings in the Shirt.woot FAQ (see the bottom of the page for the link). But don't send this one, since woot stays away from celebrity likenesses for legal reasons.

Really good compared to what Woot often sees, but have you guys ever been to Conceptart.org?

Haha, if some of the artists over at CA were aware they could make a thousand dollars a week I bet we'd see more badass paintings in the fog...

Either you are a huge troll or just plain ignorant. You can't compare the digital art you see in that site to the shirt designs you see here.

First: I am pretty sure 98% of all that digital art is not created in a span of 24 hours, most of them don't even have a deadline. Artist can work on their art for days, weeks and even months before showing it there.

Second: Here, you have to worry about layers, color separation, 6 color limit, halftone workability, shirt color limitation and theme.

Third: Have you seen Patrick's blog? I'm pretty sure his work could easily fit in that website.

(To everybody else) I wish I had Patrick's ability to conceptualize, design, sketch, paint, halftone and submit this type of artwork in a derby every week. Sure, he's not perfect, but come on people, stop with the bashing! He's given us amazing shirts for the past few years. You don't like this particular design for some reason? Perfect, that's your right. But don't try to stone the artist to death because of it.

Since no one stepped up, I shall provide it myself.

You should be hung!

I am.

badum chee.

Re: Parley

Thanks for the great comments and for helping it rise so steadily from the murky depths. I know it went up relatively late, but that's how long it generally takes for me to get it together.

Re: The Crow's Nest

Great use of muted colours and really crisp illustration. It must have taken some time bringing that level of finish to the lines Spiritgreen. I tip my three-cornered hat to you and your mad skills.

Re: X marks the spot

Such a stunning idea and awesome execution Naolito. This is one of the stand-outs of the derby.

Re: Gangsta Pirate

I forgot to add Pantone 11c. I'll nail this thing down one of these weeks:/

Re: Pirate Hooks of the World

Fear the Swiss pirates!

I love this. GMV.

Re: Pirate vs Nin-

I love this shirt!

Re: Figaro the dreamer

yummmmmmmm...kitty pizza

Re: Yarrr

Nice...maybe add a pencil behind his ear next time.

Re: Know Your Pirates

I don't quite get the "bakery" one. Is it some pun based on pie? I'm rolling the words "pie" and "bakery" around in my head, but I'm not coming up with a "pirate" reference.

Re: A pirates life for me

Yay...now my boobs can be the eyes......
I'm gonna have to say this design isn't very lady friendly

How in the seven hills of hell did you come up that I or other artists think or feel you and voters in general are beneath the them? if you're trollin' for arguments sake please troll on but please understand your claim is pure fantasy. Not for one moment in any of my comments was there any inkling of that intent stated or inferred.

Hell has seven hills?? Cool, who knew!
