Shirt.Woot

starfleet redshirt

I predict 9 Mario entries, two of which will make the fog.

"Incidental text only" means no slogans? What about something like fishbiscuit's Merlin shirt? Is that "incidental"? Can someone clarify?

I believe it means that the design must be understandable without the text. In other words, if you delete the text, will people still "get" the design? If the answer is no, then the text is not incidental.

That's my understanding.

Basically it means text can't be the main focus, so I don't think the Merlin shirt would stand. The design needs to work on its own, but perhaps is enhanced by small amounts of text, like a sign in the background or a label on a container.

probably more. entries, and in the fog. :^(

Perhaps in the past, but I think we've seen a pseudo-backlash against Mario themed designs recently. The last few to be entered haven't done well (although it hasn't been allowed the last several weeks, you actually have to go back to #256 to find one that finished in the fog), and those to print (as daily shirts) haven't lasted long. I dunno, maybe it's just me though.

Worst job at this point in time is probably "US Ambassador to [insert name of North African/Middle-Eastern country]".

Probably not much room to mine humor in that topic, tho.

I was going to post the same thing except with 14 in the place of 9.

Hey everyone - I always enjoy seeing works in progress and giving and getting feedback on work, like we get in the pre-derby threads. So I'm trying to revive the WIP thread in the artist's resources section. Go take a look and post!

Assistant Crack Whore

My thought exactly. Was surprised Star Trek wasn't included in the exculsions!

I guess I'd better learn to draw, cause I've got the perfect idea for this.

Here's what I came up with, "a rotten job" ick. Thoughts?

I like the style, but I'm not quite sure I get the joke. Also, you have to ask yourself, would people want to wear this? It's not gruesome enough for the splatter crowd, and not cute enough for the kawaii crowd. But your style is refreshing!

Thanks for the comments, the joke is simply that it would suck to be a trashcan on account of all the nasty stuff that would be thrown away. This drawing is a little darker than I usually aim to draw, and to your credit I agree its not near dark "enough" to work right. I usually draw a bit more light hearted, but figured I'd try something new-ish for myself.

I was gonna ask if that was a platypus stomping around in a trashcan, but when I hit reply, I can now see that your image name is "banana-preview" heh.

How about a dentist serving our underserved populations... like vampires, zombies and werewolves?

Manicures for T-Rex... Pedicures for Velociraptors?

Python Proctologist?

Who wants to give Medusa an eye exam?

I'd love to try one of the derbies one day, but my digital skills are lacking significantly, and I don't have the time to work on them. At best, I get to play a little on Drawception LOL.

ditto. I foresee plumbing shirts galore

Honestly I think it's just a little funny that this derby is posted to follow that one blog post that reads "Here's Your Big Chance to Work for Shirt.Woot" Coincidence? Does Woot really have that big a sense of humor to do that on purpose? ;P

I like my freelance side work, but hate my day job.

Where do I petition to be the guest editor for this particular derby.

How about this?

:-) Thanks, y'all!

I figure the worst job ever has got to be holding up the world for eternity. So I sketched out turtles all the way down. Should I bother finishing this? Any suggestions? It'll have a spacey background.

Thats pretty awesome orabbit- I like how it almost looks Helix like...

I also like the vertical layout.

Might be cool to make the turtles coming out of a supermassive black hole...

I like it it reminds me of discworld...

The turtle tower reminds me of Yertle the Turtle. Not in a negative way. It's just what I immediately thought of.
