Amazing!

Some people have admitted to voting for shirts just because they are still printing on AA. Silly reasoning/unfair to people with possibly better designs (not meaning this design, which is cute, but just in general)? Sure. Also, completely illogical. Why don't they just go buy AA blanks for half the price? Oh right. They're making a 'statement.'

Regardless, I think this concept is funny, since I am pretty sure this is what my orange cat would do if he could read.

Makes me think of the Gunslinger!

thank you! ..was feeling different...

Re: Igniting Imagination

Love this! +1 This design actually adheres to the derby them too! Nice work!

Re: Tale of a Huntress

I freaking love this. Come on folks- I really want this one. Pretty please. I just love all the little parts of this. How you captured things from all three books. I think you got her essense right too. Nice job.

I love it. Nice tribute. The wild places aren't that wild after all.

I don't either. Nice design but "huh?"

To visit the lorax in his magical forest... Only in books I suppose.

Re: Let your imagination run wild

Love the image, just would personally want it to be a little bigger on the shirt so it's easier to see the nuances.

Re: Little Red Fighting Hood

I was just recently looking back at Red Revenge and reading all the comments that went with it. It's nice to see this idea done right, and so distinctively.

Re: Swept Away

I love the skewed perspective. It really adds to the fantasy of it.

The actual quote ends with "...must be intolerably stupid" in place of "...must be a freakin' Jab-jab-jab-Jabberjaw." Personally, I like the paraphrased version better.

Looks great! Voted for it!

Re: Lose Yourself

Love the design; would you consider submitting on cranberry or navy?

Re: Little Red Fighting Hood

I'll take 3 please! Awesome work Walz!

Re: Scary Story (resub!)

Ha! That's so clever, I love it!

Re: Little Red Fighting Hood

This is such a wonderful take on the red-riding-hood-is-a-badass theme. That swish of red against the wolf silhouette really makes it. Great stuff!

Thanks Re: the size of the image on the shirt, the comp is mainly for placement and not really for sizing. Woot always decides how big to print any given design, and it really has very little to do with how it is represented in the comp, especially because the size of the print on the shirt has a lot to do with which size you buy. For a design like this, they would probably do something like 10.5in wide for men's sizes, 9 in wide for women's and kids, if you wanted a rough estimate of how big it would be on the shirt.

The button says, "I'd Want One." When I click the button that says, "I'd Want One," it means that I'd want one - and that means it's a color that's likely to print on AA in women's sizes. I don't go around making a big deal out of the fact that my Derby votes are in accordance with the "I'd Want One" request of Derby voting, but I think it's utterly absurd to say that it's "silly reasoning" to vote for a shirt because one would buy it; I don't vote "I'd Want One" unless I'm willing to follow through and put my money where my vote is. What I think is silly - IMHO - is clicking "I'd Want One" when one would never actually want one.

But my job emphasizes the importance of communication and sender/receiver being on the same page, so perhaps I am "silly" to interpret woot's desire to know which shirts they should print based on an intention to make money by selling shirts as a desire to know which shirts they should print in order to make money by selling shirts.

Re: Let your imagination run wild

I think this is one of your better designs. Good job.

Yes this is in Cranberry, I added some shadows/creases etc to make the mini T-shirt look 'real' - I could easily do it in other colour combos though, simple enough to do - the hard part is getting votes, lol! :D

Re: Swept Away

If this doesn't print I will be sorely disappointed.

I deleted the version with words (in case someone look for it.. ) cause I didn't want to divide votes, or "steal" exposure from other designs in the top hotness

Re: Dedication

Slightly mixed feelings: I really, really love this design; I'd absolutely buy it and I'd wear it with glee. However, it doesn't seem to fit the theme of this Derby... So you get my vote, Colin, and I'll buy it if it prints, but you also get a tiny slap on the wrist via comment.

Re: Oh The Places You'll Go

This is treading nigh close to violating copyright: I don't see any parody of Geisel's work or characters, especially given the shirt's title. Geisel himself fiercely protected his copyrights in order to limit his characters and their worlds to his books; his widow has taken the opposite tact, fiercely protecting the estate's copyright so she can market it aggressively. I believe copyright is currently licensed to Universal: not sure if woot wants to do battle with Hollywood studios again...

Re: Dedication

Cute design -- I like the little stuffed koopa :-D

Re: Little Red Fighting Hood

Nobody messes with Lil' Red B-) Nicely done, walmazan!

Re: The soul of the books

Hello!

You know that feeling of being so absorbed in a book you see everything happening around you? That's why you're seeing the soul of this book, this is what I tried to represent, I hope you enjoy!

blk909 wrote:Love the design; would you consider submitting on cranberry or navy?

Yeah, perhaps this color is hurting its chances...navy may be too dark though. Woot had me change the color of a print once because navy is so nearly black.

This design is amazing +1

Let's all go to the slaughter, let's all go to the slaughter, lol... Nice!

Re: An Inevitable Fate (No words version)

Love this! His expression is great.

Re: Lose Yourself (v.2)

I'll delete the other if this one picks up steam. Leave some comments if you like the cranberry better. I think it makes the scene a bit richer, even though I have a thing for olive tees.

I love this shirt, I want it, and the color is a little refreshing. AA is ok, but I only vote for shirts I will actually buy as well.

Re: Lost in a Good Book

I love the style. It almost looks like encaustic.

Hmm...even though I like cranberry shirts WAY more (I think olive makes most people look a bit sallow), it seems to overpower the design in this case. Maybe it's the higher contrast on this, or just the strength of the color itself, but I think you actually see more on the green.

That is a very good point and it totally slipped my mind. If woot bot catches it, I can always tweak it so the kid looks different. Thanks for the heads up.
