![]() I have been sitting on this idea for I don't know how long...maybe a year, maybe a little more...anyway there was a streak of "Apple Pi" designs for a while so I decided to let that die down, even though its only loosely connected to my idea, and even then only 1/12 of the overall design... Anyway, some are more finalized looking than others, but none of the images is a final inking, because there wont be line art when its done. Any types of pie this design can't live without? I don't really think I need every type of fruit or meat pie so skip things like cherry/key lime...etc..and for anyone feeling the need to be perverted, just don't.
I recently posted the blog about making custom figures/toys, and after getting a great deal of info, I found out its relatively easy and inexpensive to do. So I am going to sculpt up some different figures and make some small runs. I plan to post a process blog with turtorials, prices, and websites for additional help if it all works out.
![]() Anyway, this is the toy version I am sculpting tonight of my painted turtle design.
Whoever you are. Thanks!
Consumer @ emptees
I haven't had any luck doing anything with this so I tossed it up on emptees...maybe if it gets a decent amount of support someone over there might be interested in it. Any help is appreciated. ![]() Consumer @ emptees Yay, 96 loves so far, I have never had that many, and I have had 3 inquiries into purchasing the design already. Thanks to the people here that helped make it so popular!
I used to be able to guess a score within .2 almost everytime, especially my own, based on comments, but taking 2 of my latest as an example, my expectations of these were completely flipped, though to be honest, even if you reversed the scores the Hybrid design still scored much better than I expected based on feedback.
Whats crazy is how similar these two were. Both had animal parts and patterns, similar inking styles, and were presented on white shirts. They also had a nearly identical amount of scores, and were scored very closely together. To be honest, I couldn't be happier with either score, im just blown away by how insanely different the scores are from what I expected. My hypothesis is that people do not write nearly as many critical comments as when I first joined. So the amount of comments is largely based on how many people feel like letting you know they like your design and is much less indicative of the overall scoring sentiment. In the old days, getting nearly 40 more positive comments (duplicate comments considered) almost always meant getting a much better score. Clearly this is no longer the case. 110 comments, 5 were mine. ![]() 74 comments, 7 were mine.
I paid up on another stp winner so this time the winner can be added to the stp queue if they guess the closest.
![]() what is your guess going to be? closest with or without going over, if there is a tie, the person that guessed first wins robotwaste: 3.4. brentendo: 3.45 Efunk2332: 3.23 Jebbie: 3.11 jodabaum: 3.05 jeffreyg: 3.00 randyotter3000: 3.17 goliath72: 3.12 ferfo: 3.33? jess4002: 3.09 - added to the STP queue dschwen: 3.36 timpaint: 3.50 Frogking: 3.15 tomasappleton: 3.28!

I have had a blank canvas open in illustrator for the past few days, just waiting to become my next Threadless design, and I keep failing at putting anything on it.
In Summation: I hate crappy weather.
Example:
I hate mayo, and I despise fish but mayo + tunafish = good sammich (from time to time) Now, list more things in life (that aren't math) that have this same double negative effect... ![]() So I submitted this design over at Emptees and DBH for the DBH10k, and I was sorta let down by the response to the original 1 color on camel/tan version that I did. So here is a new colorful version with some adjusted linework, and I would love to see this do a little better at least at emptees...I would rather not have to make a zombie version if it can be avoided.
