About my design
by WanderingBert   
Fighting computer viri in a cramped, neon-encrusted virtual world all day is a tough gig indeed, so the folks at WanderingBert/Frickinawesome Co. decided to give the guy a little time off to ride his lightcycle down to the beach for a nice game of frisbee catch. Remember, one needs to draw lines in the stand and relax from the lines of code every once in a while.

When I first saw Tron it was several years ago in a theater. The thing is, Kodak had cheap cinematic film, so Disney had a deal with them. The film turns pink with time. So I didn't know until later that everything un-neon was actually supposed to be black and white.

But anyway. Another $5 for you, duh.

Love "Tron" and this design. Nice collab $5

The light cycle is a nice touch but I like your other work much better. Also, a good shirt with a very similar idea already exists: http://www.chopshopstore.com/product.php?productid=16141

I'm just pointing it out, not claiming a ripoff, so all of FA's friends out there don't need to get their panties in a bunch.

You heard it here folks, no pantaloons in a bunch for all my friends, who without our tight bonds you would surely vote anything I was associated with negative one thousand and two every collab. lol.

Also, the shirt you linked to edg has a tron dude and a dog, while this idea is more about a tron guy chilling at the beach and takes its comedy from the ridiculousness of the natural environment against the digital nature of the tron folk. WanderingBert and I were pretty amazed we couldn't readily find an example of someone attempting an idea similiar to this before, and I don't think the one you posted makes it any different.

Thanks for the comments so far folkies!

Weirdly enough it was just the other day that I thought, "I wonder if anyone would ever do a Tron sub on Threadlesss...?" (yes, these things occur to me as I sip my cocoa and ponder the msyteries of life...)

Not only has it happened, it's been done by two veterans of awesomeness, FA and WB. Well done, guys!

i really like the t, but there's no way you can say it's not very similar to edg's link. not that it really matters

The above LINK for all you lazy sods...

professorE on Jul 26 '08
I disagree, brittamer. This one has a much more established environment, more going on with the references, and is drawn better. Plus, the other one is $23 and only two colors...

$5 on shirt from me!

Not only is this pretty damn different, but also, as prof E mentioned, it does not look like total ass.

Cybernaut on holiday, what a concept. Could this be the reason why threadless blogs and scoring are so snail-going? Love the colors and composition, looks great on the shirt. $5

“the other one is $23 and only two colors”

wrong… 4 colors.

Not only is this pretty damn different, but also, as prof E mentioned, it does not look like total ass.

really…? that one is drawn badly? seriously… you are just shooting your mouth off. i know the guy who did that drawing and i’ll bet he can draw circles around you… large detailed circles with filigree.

btw, i would never consider this a bite off ours. any drawing of tron is likely to include a Frisbee and if you are being funny… a dog is a natural.

Sounds like you're a bit biased...

The tron on that shirt is a disgusting degenerate old lech and I find looking at a dog's rear bits completely distasteful.

This shirt presents a young, kind-looking tron playing with his pet at the beach.

I'm not sure about the mud-flap girls, though... and i think the dog seems a bit contorted.

This is awesome. Doesn't have the same idea or feel as the other shirt linked above.

Love the design $5

I cannot draw, not do I pretend to. I rate submissions, and occasionally discuss shirts from other sites brought in as comparisons (clearly meant to be discussed, or why else the URL?), because I buy this stuff. I cannot judge the artist's overall prowess and do not claim that ability. I simply dislike the shirt at the other site.

Again, I say: Just as people can post their designs freely on the IntarWebs, so too can viewers state opinions about them. DUH.

then say that… don’t say it looks like ass. it is supposed to be a degenerate looking fellow and not sweet. so if you don’t like that and you prefer a cartoony type approach then say so.

and by the way… free speech on the interwebs goes the other way too. if you are rude and someone reacts defensively to something you say on the interwebs… then expect a reaction. DUH.

its not a one-way street… its a series of tubes.

What's with the Peterbuilt cutie in the sand? That was distracting to me. Otherwise, nice job. Maybe a robotic doggie?

little too odd, since I'm not very familiar with "tron"
nice though

"Rude" is just too subjective. It's a moot argument. But I understand your side of it.

Harfangoria on Jul 29 '08
...although telling me what I should have said goes against your point completely.

If the MCP were here, he'd spin his big digital face around really fast like a Tornado and give this a $5. End of line.

not really… my point was if you flame then might expect to be flamed. however, our conversation has come full circle now and i recognize the peace in our time.
Harfangoria
Harfangoria on Jul 30 '08
I don't mind being flamed. You sounded genuinely offended; I was explaining, not defending, because I thought you needed that. But yes, I'll shut up about it now. At least Bert is getting some comments out of this. :D

ANYway. ^Laser - is the MCP the big metal thing? I thought he was just called Tron.

mgrodzki, based on your comment, it seems to me the only reason you are so indignant over this whole thing is your relationship with the other artist.

I like this one a lot, and my score shows it. I don't like the other one, but that's okay, since I am not required to purchase it.
