Re: Leonardo

Both Midge and Chump bring up legitimate points regarding perspective. Ramy, it's understandable to see by your diagram how you drew your layout and decided to drop the last leg for ease of visual communication. (Ha! "Ease". Geddit? 'Cause it's an...an easel...okay.) However this is also something that could've been solved just by moving the turtle over to the left a bit to allow room for that leg, thus avoiding any confusion with tangents. (For anyone unfamiliar with a tangent, it's when subjects in your composition conflict spatially in a way that looks bothersome. Read about them here or here.) If nothing else, chalk it up as something to remember in the future.

Actually, it has happened before, and to plenty of people too. Usually it's just a mistake or a placeholder color that wasn't adjusted before submitting.

I'm not crazy about the end of the tail, but as a pistachio lover, great concept! GMV

First off, YOU ARE BOTH RIGHT... technically. RamyB is using what is called isometric perspective to justify his case, meaning that he uses a 2 point perspective but he does not display depth by foreshortening elements in the distance. There is nothing wrong with that...

Here is a visual example of isometric perspective:



Midge is using more of a true 2 point perspective to justify his case. Just because midge's version is more accurate and realistic, does not mean it is right in the artist's world. However, I will say that I agree with MidgeRock more because I EXPECT to see the leg there (I don't think many can argue that). To me, no matter how accurate your drawing is, it still feels like it is missing; it still feels wrong... if that makes sense.

Well that my art lesson for the day. I hope you all enjoyed it

I agree about the isometric perspective (I would prefer true perspective because I personanly think it looks better), but if you look at ramyb's explanation the red leg has been tweaked a little to the right so that it hides behind the stool leg making the red leg and the already existing easel leg closer at the bottom than at the top when they should really be running parallel to each other even if he is using isometric perspective.

Badly off topic.

If you have the right sized screen, 2.5 inches is the size of the bracket in [REJECTED]

Re: Going Down With the Ship!

cuteness!

Re: Guy Fox

The different placement is nice. I like your graphics ALOT! GMV

Maybe paper is not the best material for a ship!

Re: Going Down With the Ship!

Re: Guy Fox

Thanks for all the comments guys! I'm still trying to figure out how to design for fabric, and I really appreciate the feedback.

I'm glad some people got a kick out of the graphic, too.

Let me point you to some important information to read first:
Technical requirements https://shirt.woot.com/member/contestupload.aspx
Note on the left it says use one of their official shirt templates as a guide. Generally speaking, there are fancier templates, but it's better to use one of theirs than a lopsided tshirt sketch with an indeterminate X on it.

Use only 6 colors.

All the other rules that aren't in the Technical Requirements list http://shirt.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=1946963
No clipart
No photographs

Misc Important Rule It was clarified in a derby somewhere and now I can't find it:
Your thumbnail must match your shirt comp (ie, your shirt comp must show your orangutan and printing press design)

Re: Leonardo

best ever

Re: First Flight, We can Fly!!

I love this one! Their expressions are terrific.

Re: Going Down With the Ship!

So cute! Crickets don't get enough love.

Hope this prints!

To enjoy life you must find humor where you can. I don't think he was making light of the event, just the shape of one of the most adorable creatures ever. Of course a newborn foal is right up there in adorableness, too.

I see what you did there, you went full ladybug there.

For some people, the first episode of Star Trek might mark an "historical event," but I don't think it does. But, what do I know about history, I'm just in the final stages of earning my second degree in the subject.

Wow-congratulations on all of your schooling (and I do truly mean that) BUT 1,2 or 300 degrees does not make you the be all and end all of information. Take a class in contemporary art history and guess what shows up? That's right, the premier of Star Trek. And being snarky about your learning just makes you appear...., well...... uneducated.

As someone who loves pikas, I'll add that yes I do believe pikachu is a pika. He totally looks like one too, in a super cartoony way of course.

I'm sorry about the rejection, collin! You could make a pika that just kind of looks like pikachu? That may work. Pikas are the cutest animals ever, pretty much.

Thanks to all.

My initial design was going to be without the radioactive logo and I was going to name it "What we should've sent". Like trying to say we should've sent "love" (in a cute form) instead of a destructive bomb. Maybe I tried to attached it to history to literally. Once again, I'm sorry if it offended anyone.

Thank you for the explanation. Sorry that I came across too harsh. I like the "What we should've sent" idea. I'm glad to know what your intentions were. Nothing malicious and no offense taken.

Re: A Little Too Close To The Sun

This is GREAT! I love the style and the composition of it. GMV!

Re: Genghis Khat

you're killing it with this one. the cloud motif is just right. the colors are perfect. though i'm a dog person, i'd buy this.

Re: The Beagles

i like the style. for some reason i keep thinking the dogs would spell something out. brave going with a white shirt. why aren't those liked as much as the others?

Re: 1903 - Lazy Birds

This is great! It has really been looked over. I love the reference lines...

Take a class in art history (which I've done) and you see paint splatter deemed a masterpiece. It's all about perspective. Some may say that the premiere of Star Trek was an historical event. I, personally, don't believe it was.

For the record, I ended up throwing in that line about my education because I was just so frustrated with the debate at that point.

Trekkies, congrats on the design sticking around. Call it history all you want, but I'll never agree with that assessment.

Re: Going Down With the Ship!

The cricket doesn't need a violin to make it's own song :P

Re: WWI

I wish there was a like button for both the comments on this design.

horsetrainer wrote:Seriously? You're on Woot! and worried about whether or not a shirt depicting an historical event is about a subject that could be taught in class??? It did not say important, just a famous historical event. If one has watched much Star Trek at all, then a very important lesson was taught in almost every episode, Never, EVER go anywhere unknown or remotely dangerous wearing a red shirt, you will die! I learned that and I'm not even a Trekkie.

The lecture remark was a reference I threw in there as I tried to make my point. As previously stated, I study and teach history, so as I was looking at each of the derby entries, I viewed them with a distinct perspective. Each person has their own p.o.v. and will have their own opinions on designs. Mine might not be a popular one at all, but I was not the only one to question whether or not peeps in pseudo Star Trek uniforms fit the derby.

Re: breaking barriers

Very cool

Re: Guy Fox

First of all, HILARIOUS concept! However, like others, I feel the placement looks a little awkward.
It feels like it's in a middle place between centered and regular bottom corner shirts.

But great shirt!!

Re: BEEthoven V2 Resub

Love it! awesome collab fellas!

I teach at a university, and let me tell you, we've got some funky history classes.

I would not be remotely surprised if we had one on the history of Star Trek (and it's sociopolitical impact, or some such thing.)

Re: Flapper

I absolutely love this shirt! You have such talent, keep at it.

Re: Going Down With the Ship!

Looking forward to adding this tee to my collection.

Re: Kitty Hawk

This is adorable. I'm a cat lover, Tar Heel and a girly girl. I would totally buy this one!
