Derby #11: Cryptozoology

Hey, this Derby's over. When you're finished reliving past glories, check out what's going on in the Derby right now. It's probably even cooler. Or at least newer.

Derby #11: Cryptozoology

For some animal lovers, the astonishing variety of animal life isn't enough. No, they need to populate their personal biosphere with unicorns, yetis, chupacabras, Loch Ness monsters, Jersey devils, rocs, griffins, Carolina lizard men, and other apocryphal fauna, just to keep things interesting. And who are we to judge them? So in light of the many animal shirts we've sold in the past, we figured it was time to give the pseudo-animals their turn on the sabretoothed catwalk. Everybody get cryptozoological!

Nice execution, but too generally monter and not enough Crypto, Fantasical, or Mythicness (yes that's a word)

This is appears to be traced from an image pointed out in the forums: http://www.fieldscapes.com/sculp-angel.html. Resubmit with a different 'inspriation'

Great shirt, but giraffes are real and so natural selection is a popular scientific 'theory' that is also real

+12

Same submission that was rejected before. Girraffes with or without necks are not crypto, mystical or fantastical

+16

no-neck giraffes aren't real, they're imaginary

Turns out balloon animals are real and not just a product of my deranged mind.

There's not animal...legs/footprints are real.

More Rube Goldberg than Cryptozoological

This is a really cool zebra shirt from what I can. Where's the crypto, fantasical, or mythical aspect?

Aliens aren't crypto...they are real as the shirt suggests
