2019 Shirt.Woot Derby Thread (part 1)

@ACraigL Ordered for my co-worker’s upcoming birthday.

@heartny Awesome! Hope they like it!

@ACraigL Absolutely brilliant

@ACraigL voted, even though my tits are probably too big to justify it.

@therealjrn You and me both

@therealjrn My wife giggled at the breast-size aspect; I’ll admit when I was designing this it was one of the few times I wasn’t thinking about breasts.

@mehbee

@ACraigL gotcha

@mfladd we can probably help you find it if you describe it a little more.

@ACraigL @Ignorant That’s the one.

@jasneko voted!

@jasneko gotcha

@kevlar51 voted!

@jasneko voted 2x!

@jasneko got em both!

@jasneko cute

@jasneko done!

@jasneko voted!

@jasneko Done, and good for Valentine’s Day.

@jasneko GMVs. I particularly like your birds.

@Spiritgreen Aw thanks! This was a redesign of a reeally old design. Back then it got over 100 votes and wasn’t even near the top! Boy times have changed.

@Spiritgreen Voted. Awesome stuff.

@mehbee

@ACraigL Voted

I’m assuming most folks know the reference for the Vodka design. If you don’t, you’re welcome.

Two designs left in the fog… I’m kinda surprised my Nyan Vader fell out already, but hopefully the other ones will maintain their positions.

@ACraigL I’ve previously purchased a couple mink blankets. Not real thick, but really super soft and more than warm enough for those cold SoCal winters when it gets below 70º.

@narfcake I got over-zealous and got one of each.

@jasneko
/image cat bread

@jasneko I always wondered too.

@narfcake Poor cats! @sammydog01 I know right? How do people come up with this stuff?

@jasneko @sammydog01 And then they wonder why their cats are plotting …

@narfcake @sammydog01 hehe. Someone got me that book too.

@jasneko Amazon has suggested it to me before. Granted, they’ve suggested cat food and litter to me also.

I’d be in serious trouble if any of my cat plushies need food and litter.

@mehbee

@ACraigL gotcha

@kevlar51 Thanks! And the timing for St. Patty’s day was not lost on me when I made this one.

@ACraigL voted. I also had to vote on the one spiritgreen did just because I found it beautiful. As opposed to the other Bambi one that broke my heart and almost made me cry at a stupid derby, but hey, I voted, Good luck sweetie and congrats on the honorable mentions.

@mehbee Exclusivity was never the deal, and Spiritgreen is an amazing artist. Well-deserved vote for sure.

@ACraigL gotcha

@mehbee

@ACraigL I like it!

@ACraigL I’m getting really good at finding your shirts without coming here first. I go to the derby and try to pick yours out. Lately I’ve gotten them on the first or second try. I vote then come here just to say voted! And make sure you didn’t have more than two in the derby. Yes I’m easily amused. Loving this week’s (closest I could get to the you are here symbol)

@mehbee Aww, that’s awesome! Thank you. I’m not too proud to admit that this one was a bit weak. I had very little time and and whipped it up last minute. But I hope to be more productive in the next few derbies!

MEALS! DEALS! EELS! AWESOME!

@jasneko I really do want one!

@jasneko Voted!

@sammydog01 Aw, nice to hear that Sammy!

@Spiritgreen But the naked arrival was the best part of the movie!

@Spiritgreen Voted! Great sub as usual, SG!

@sammydog01 of course! But think of the inconvenience.

@sammydog01 @Spiritgreen Inconvenience? “Your clothes. Give them to me.” Seems easy enough.

@Spiritgreen it’s really awesome! Voted!

WORKER BEES! HERCULES! TURKEY GREASE! AWESOME!

@mehbee thanks very much, I appreciate it!

@NiteMareFuel done!

@NiteMareFuel I like that one!

@mehbee

@ACraigL voted!

@ACraigL your cat pun game is on point, sir.

@Spiritgreen Thanks! Not helping votes a ton, but I guess I was feeling frisky.

@narfcake Thanks! Hope everyone takes advantage of that!

@ACraigL @narfcake

@Spiritgreen Voted. Also, AMAZING!

@ACraigL thanks very much for the help, good luck.

Unfortunately the first one was disqualified. I’ll need to updated, but please vote for #2 for now until I get a new version up.

And… both were DQ’d. Move along, nothing to see here.

@matthew Welcome back! Voted. I’m not talking to woot right now.

@matthew Got them.

@mehbee

just a bump – this thread seems awfully quiet!

@ACraigL Voted!

@ACraigL That was a short breakup. Voted.

@ACraigL Those DQs are kind of arbitrary.

@sammydog01 I was all like, “I can’t stay mad at you, boo”.

@narfcake (catshirt)

@ACraigL Meow.

(I was hoping Anatomy of a Meowder would have printed also.)

@narfcake I had expected it to. Was very surprised. I subbed it as a daily, but not expecting much from that effort after the pass over.

@narfcake Denied, as anticipated. We shan’t be seeing that one anytime soon (on woot, anyway)

@jasneko I love your cats!

@sammydog01 Thank you! And glad to hear it as they are something I love drawing (and love in reality!)

@jasneko I’m guessing this one is based on your real cats?

@narfcake Most of my cat designs are based on real life cats Well at least the more “realistic” designs and ones that don’t involve memes/bothering cats!

@jasneko voted!

@jasneko you have a good shot with this one. Funny observation!

@Spiritgreen Golly gee I hope so! I haven’t placed in a derby in… I can’t even remember. Thanks!

@matthew This would be perfect for Halloween.

@matthew Voted sir!

@Spiritgreen Yeah, because you need every advantage you can get. Great work as usual!

@ACraigL ha! Well, I’ve killed plenty of good ideas on my drawing board. I guess this is the wibbly style like I use on my ghost shirts? It’s comfortable but I don’t use it very often.

@Spiritgreen I loveee the style you use on your ghost shirts!! And I love those ghost shirts. Cutest ghosts, cutest haunted houses… and this is coming from a scaredy cat!

@jasneko @Spiritgreen I have two of the ghost shirts. They’re awesome.

WORKER BEES! HERCULES! TURKEY GREASE! AWESOME!

I’d like to use a relaxed style more often, one that comes naturally.

@jasneko @sammydog01 @Spiritgreen I’ve noticed one other artist doing some looser/rougher designs at times too, and I don’t mind it at all. Depending on the subject, a design that “looks like you spent an hour on it” is preferable over a highly detailed and polished design that took days on because of how quickly it grabs the viewer.

(I’m using quotes above since it was commonly said back in the busy derby days. FWIW, that sometimes wasn’t far from the truth for one because sometimes that was all the time he had between his studies!)

@jasneko @narfcake @sammydog01 yes! It’s like the longer you take to draw something precisely, the more any one thing can stand out as wrong.

Probably the most ‘perfect’ really complicated shirt I’ve ever made was Moebius Kart, it took weeks to draw and there’s nothing that I look back and want to fix, but people kinda just went ‘eh, that’s nice’ and bought a few and went back to looking at the fun doodly stuff.

Moebius Kart

So it’s probably usually best to work casually if I can - it’s has more energy that way too. : )

@jasneko thanks jas’! I look forward to Halloween every year because I get to draw those.

@narfcake @sammydog01 @Spiritgreen I know what you mean. The time/details/tightness I spend on a design doesn’t necessarily translate to votes or notice. Whereas sometimes the quick ones do really well. It’s hard to gauge when you’re in the thick of the creating process.

@ACraigL got em

@jasneko gotcha!

@ACraigL Thanks!

@Spiritgreen Voted! He used cuteness. It was super-effective.

@Spiritgreen my mistake, it ends Thursday. It’s a mini-derby but not that mini.

@Spiritgreen All my favorites!

@Spiritgreen Voted! Loved this one before, love it now:)

@jasneko thanks!! ^__^

@ACraigL I’ve voted for any design in which I have the original design also … which means I got yours, @jasneko’s, and @spiritgreen’s designs.

you’re an all-star

mediocrebot is on fire, lol!

@ACraigL Congrats on the nominations!

@narfcake @acraigl @spiritgreen I’m confused to what’s going on now as there isn’t any date/ending info up on this derby. When does it end? When is the next derby? Are mini derbies now a regular weekly event, or was that a one time thing? Man it’s hard to find info in the forums! (or maybe it’s just me because I am not getting the hang of finding my way around! )

@ACraigL @jasneko @narfcake It -is- like they’re trying to confuse us! This current derby is the year’s best sellers - some winners, some side sale shirts that did well.

The mini-derby was a one off, at least for now.

The next derby starts on Thursday, when things go back to normal. The theme is animals + movies / books / television. A pop-culture twist on animals. I can’t find the rules because they aren’t showing them anymore…

@ACraigL @jasneko @Spiritgreen Info and discussion for #700 is here:

@ACraigL @narfcake @Spiritgreen It does seem a little like that hehe Thanks Spirit!

And thanks for the link Narf!

@mehbee

@ACraigL Voted but you know which one I want to win!

@marcee voted!

@ACraigL Thanks. Backatcha. Never Forget is gonna go all the way! Also, every time I see your name, I think…

@mehbee

@ACraigL Voted! And Congrats on the Never Forget shirt win. It was in the people’s choice and T List or are those both the same things?

@mehbee Thanks x2! Yes, those are the same thing; People’s choice is a category of the T-List.
