That's A Rip! (xiv's brainchild)

Tired of scoring those designs with stolen images? Post 'em here so others will know what to look out for!!!

Found something that isn't a direct rip but is heavily influenced by a design already found on Threadless? Post it as well so people can make an educated decision. :)

Update: November 2, 2011

I've compiled a list of the user names found in this blog; I did NOT include those names which legitimately did not realize their error and have since redeemed themselves. I know some names are missing, as the links don't go anywhere anymore. I'm not going to link these, as it would take me forever; one can use the search function. :)

Ivantobealone on Oct 12 '10 at 2:49pm

I disliked all of these when voting and I didn't even know!

bottleHeD on Oct 12 '10 at 2:53pm

I have a ton of these marked under "Watch This".. will post them one by one.

bcrider on Oct 12 '10 at 2:54pm

That would be awesome, Kailash!

How many beers? - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More

Copied from here

bortwein on Oct 12 '10 at 3:10pm

Honestly, I think Cannonball is more like a source image and less like a rip. It's a photo and the tee designer changed up a lot about the character to make it his own. We all can't draw like Alex so sometimes we source.

Plu Shu on Oct 12 '10 at 3:13pm

Alex used a source pic for his first Tron sub ;p
I hope someone from the staff flags this thread though

XD

I cracked up so bad at that.

bottleHeD on Oct 12 '10 at 3:18pm

@Bortwein, I understand that, I often use a montage of images for reference, perspective and lighting and stuff when I'm drawing too, but I don't directly trace any of them. Tracing someone's else's work without credit is a rip, no matter how you look at it.

bortwein on Oct 12 '10 at 3:18pm

"We all can't draw like Alex so sometimes we source." The next big Type Tee!

bottleHeD on Oct 12 '10 at 3:19pm

And the Alex thing was a crushing disappointment really.

Royale with Cheese - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More

Ripped from this

bcrider on Oct 12 '10 at 3:26pm

I can't see the rip for Royale with Cheese... dunno if it's because I'm at work or what. :) I missed scoring that one, however.

Mya Jamila on Oct 12 '10 at 3:39pm

I couldn't see the rip for Royale with Cheese either. I got a "You do not have permission to view this directory or page." message.

FRICKINAWESOME on Oct 12 '10 at 5:10pm

This is a super good idea for a blog...WATCHED and then some!

Can we also post shirts that aren't direct rips but heavily "inspired" by other Threadless designs from the past?

biotwist on Oct 12 '10 at 5:30pm

Bort, Royale rip is is signed by "scam"

fatheed on Oct 13 '10 at 4:21am

Maze - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More

TRACED! ZERO

fatheed on Oct 13 '10 at 4:26am

Compare that to the source image I used for my Tron design.

Sure; if it's noted that it's not a direct rip, at least it gives people an idea of what's what to make their own decisions. :)

the fucking guy submitted another one with the same character :|

Aw man :(

It looks like he can draw, so... why not draw his own stuff?

EricDiaz on Oct 13 '10 at 8:48pm

oh man.

biotwist on Oct 13 '10 at 10:50pm

actually he cant draw, he said he found it on google and mixed it with a bunch of other stuff he had, probably didn't even know about resolution

mgill52 on Oct 14 '10 at 12:04am

I don't see a problem with cannonball

MY LIFE IS A GAME. - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

I scored this earlier and gave it a pretty okay score, thinking, "Oh, what a similar idea. Oh well, he probably didn't know about the other design and he did a pretty good job with this."

But looking at the two of them side by side, it's pretty egregious. Exactly the same image, redrawn to be more edgy. It's like a mountain dew commercial from the nineties.

Shot one: Normal, ho-hum scene of old ladies playing BRIDGE
Shot two: XXXTREME SNOWBOARDERS ON FIRE BATTLING EACH OTHER WITH DEADLY, KNIFE-SHARP PLAYING CARDS!!!!
