This Week's Woot Shirt Derby

Another week, another T-shirt design.

The theme this week is Intergalactic Cup, a riff off the World Cup. I took blatant advantage of the fact that they're never that strict about theme, to make this. I hope people like it and vote for it.

Some detail pictures:

Super Hero T-shirt

So, this week's Woot T-shirt derby theme is Golden-Age and Silver-Age comics. I thought the idea was to produce something complete with all those annoying visible dots from the 40's through 70's (really through at least the mid-80's until printing got a whole lot better) and sound effects.
So, I got this idea:

A well-meaning but not really knowing what he's doing super-hero is battling an evil armor-clad master-mind when he uses his heat vision to melt the armor. But the armor-clad villain ducks and the super-hero sets fire to the entire city instead. He sulks off in shame. I hope you enjoy, and you can click on the image above to go to Woot and vote.

Latest WOOT T-shirt Design

I'm starting to feel like I need to rename this LJ's Woot Blog, but ...

My latest WOOT derby T-shirt design:


The theme for the week is "New Vintage" and since everyone else was talking tie-dye and disco, I decided to go a bit further back. I think I captured the style of advertising from the late 19th century pretty well. And I think the slogan is a nice parody of those 80s and 90s bumper stickers. If you like it and can, PLEASE vote.

Woot Shirt Derby #133 - Chinese Zodia

So, the theme for this week's Woot Shirt Derby is the Chinese Zodiac. I started with the idea of using all the characters from the zodiac, but wanted something a bit more original. Then thought, "What if I merged them all?" Then I started sketching and this is what I got:


But I didn't like the monkey face. Now, on further review, a big reason I didn't like the monkey face was that it was a full-face when the rest of the creature was in profile, but I decided to swap a few features around: switch the dog legs with the bunny ears, then cycle the pig tail, monkey face and rat snout, and the final result is here:
