Derby #47 Cyberpub: Hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me

Yeah, everyone has their mind in the gutter. l o l

We’ll quickly point out, though, that pearls come from oysters, not clams. :wink:

OH YEAH, I forgot about all the pearl stuff, too. Eeeew.
I don’t know…maybe I underestimate the maturity level of the ShirtWoot Masses.

Probably not, actually. l o l!

Here’s my version 1. Should I:

  1. Add drop shadows to the fries?
  2. Make the kid fry two tone like the parents?
  3. Add siblings? I had 2 originally just didn’t finish them…
  4. Add hair to Ms. Fry?

Put a pig behind it… that way it’s pearls before swine…

(ducks the impending smack)

Actually I think it’s really cute and will appeal to the women wooters…

I like how they’re not wearing any pants. Mrs. Fry needs hair. If she was cool enough, she could wear your “Frotopia” shirt!

The boy’s Converse sneakers I don’t think would have the white circle on both sides- but what do I know, I’m british, you cheeky monkey!

Hair is a go. Yes, the circle should only be on the inside of the R, not the outside of the L. I had my pocketfish t-shirt on the dad, but I took it off in favor of a wife-beater since it might have gotten rejected for a Woot reference.

  5. Possibly. Would have to see it that way.

  6. Might be a good idea. Right now he looks like a different style all together.

  7. Hmm, might make it a bit too busy.

  8. Yeah, that would look good. She also looks kinda like a banana.

Dainty Dish Housing Complexes!

Rent is but a sixpence, plus
pocketful of rye.
We’ve room for four and twenty
blackbirds per pie.

Wear this shirt: if you are an ornithologist, if you are a mathematician, or if you have a really, really big family.

Don’t wear this shirt: if you are a baker… unless you are baking for the king.

This shirt tells the world: I believe in rent control!

Getting a little ahead of yourself with the write-up, don’t you think?

Simon, if you happen across Kenney somewhere, could you tell him that I love his sig? In fact, I’d go so far as to say that it’s the best thing since sliced bread!

  5. Ok, I’ll experiment

  6. They’re supposed to be home/steak fries (why the mom looks like a banana).

  7. OK.

  8. Hair added.

Shut up, Ted!

[QUOTE=SkekTek, post:24, topic:165526]
Nice! Only thing I’d maybe tweak (and this is a big optional), would be to use some of the light colored yellow to accent the crust edges… Putting little crescents on the top curves, for instance… Overall, real nice blackbirds! Edit: and maybe use the orange color inside the vent holes in the top of the pie.
[/quote]

I was thinking of adding the orange to the vents, but for some reason I did not. Regretting it now. Also thought of adding the highlights, but I decided not to because I didn’t think I would be able to do them properly.

I’m too lazy to go and redo the comps now. XP

[QUOTE=mia3mom, post:28, topic:165526]
your drawing skills have really improved. It’s always nice to see another orange shirt, too - mine is orange this week.

I’d suggest not including the text you have here - it can come across as hubris and cocky.
[/quote]

Thanks! And thanks also for the tip - text won’t be included. :tongue:
@superspryte - aww, I was just having fun with it. Didn’t even think it would sound as bad as it does to me now. ><

– going to stop quoting stuff –

@Skek - was going to comment, but you said you were scrapping the design? Ahh, new one! Mrs. Fry might need a top and Mr. Fry/Jr. Fry might need some pants… But man, I’m hungry now.

@mia - I saw it was a cat right away, if that helps. The dog looks amazing - you’ve got that line shading thing down. I’ve still been too scared to try it.

@SailorButterfly - Isn’t that a pokemon? XP

I’m glad you see it now. Wouldn’t want you to give the wrong impression to people. ^_~

Also, some of the birds are hard to identify for me. Not sure how you could fix that though.

I think it’s just the right amount of cheek.

Hey, home slice!

Now you can take a piece of home with you, wherever you go!

Thank you for your consideration and have a super weekend!

I know the taste of foot in my mouth pretty well now.

Yeah, I can’t draw birds at all. I even tried drawing one large one to put in the background instead, but it didn’t work out. I’m happy with the way they are now. :slight_smile:

Unfortunately, some people have to call a cardboard box home. At least it can still be cozy.

Since several of the birds look really good against the background, I think the eye picks all of the other ones as birds too.

Personally, I’m very happy how it came out and GMV!
