I'm afraid that I'm with Tesko, but it is so totally awesome
|
 |
travis76 on Dec 13 '05 excellent illustration. the fact that all that is within the color limit.
i seriously need to get back to drawing more. |
 |
i think the drawing is wicked but just hate the football guy seems too movie esque bully type guy too american for me but love the nerd big person maybe you just sub the peopleman 3 because i'm sure the american public will love it and i appreciate the artwork 3

I like how the "nerd"'s head is the drum major
|
 |
sweeth!
|
 |
mikemills on Dec 13 '05 SON of a...
You just blew my mind. $5$ |
 |
Awesome and $5, but I would like to see a few more nerds in glasses, especially the girls.
|
 |
fuckin genius!
|
 |
wow. well done.
|
 |
tomburns on Dec 13 '05 so so good! haha great!
|
 |
what an achievement!
seems like it would be hard to wear this shirt if you weren't in high school (or a particularly unfortunate college). the nerds i work with already rule skool, as it were. and they are of a different kind than the ones here. but i would have to imagine that someone in high school or college would love wearing this. and it's both technically excellent & fabulously detailed. |
 |
wicked i would just remove the jock tho i feel it ruins the illustration and stereotypes the stereotypes.
|
 |
HAAAAAAAAAAAA! Awesome. Me gusta.
I'll wear this on my comic book road trip this summer with my +1 hat and my -1str/+1cha t-shirt. (although not at the same time as the t-shirt.) Definately 5$. (I'd prefer it a little more central, incidentally...) |
 |
$5
|
|
sweet! placement?
|
 |
Robsoul on Dec 13 '05 Very well done, great illo & concept, love the characters. This took some effort and was well worth it. I could imagine a whole story about this.
|
 |
Brilliant idea brilliantly executed. Placement is perfect. Not so keen on the drawing of the "jock" (or whatever you Americans say) but $5 anyway...
|
|
Rockslide on Dec 13 '05 Hey you guys rock! I always get so much support from this site, it just makes me want to try harder next time to make something even better. I get an adrenaline rush from posting and seeing all the reactions, its great. Thanks for all these comments, to steve I would just have to say, can you not watch movies about high school once you leave high school? Can you not read a book about childhood after you leave it? Why couldn't you wear a shirt with nerds on it after you leave high school? I think anyone could wear it, its just supposed to be a humorous look at current social dynamics and how the nerds have caused a revolution to become the new "cool." They are the ones in charge of the world.
|
|
grayehound on Dec 13 '05 31 comments in, what, an hour? Can I be the first to guess that this'll be available middle of February?
|
 |
Luke... on Dec 13 '05 haha, nerds....that is great
HEY!! i think i see my self up there... awesome drawing |
 |
Ahh this is too cool.$5 The only thing that bothers me is the four fingered jock. I know this is normal for cartoons but his hands look kind of alien-ish in this case.It's still an awesome design though!
|
 |
5 all the way.
|
 |
thats pretty sweet man
|
|
Good job Rocky. Looks awesome. +5
|
 |
woah...nice illustration!
puts me to shame *covering face*, i would deffinitely buy this even though im not a huge fan of the colour... $5, not really sure how you could improve this! Awesome |
|
Also, I found my new desktop background
|
 |
Ahaha. awesome. $5. I'm the orchestra nerd!!
|
|
Dude this is frickin amazing
|
 |
faucking awesome!
|
 |
totally my boyfriend wearing the burger shirt. hahaa.
I love this! |
|
haha SWEET shirt man . love the artwork and creativity.
$5 |
 |
Wow. I will buy three of these when it's printed.
|
 |
Oh man. Coolest shirt ever. <3333
Print it, and i'm going to buy 3. It's that wicked. $555555$ |
|
Really nice shirt rockslide. Love everything about it. $5 all the way
|
|
That's so SWEET! That jock reminds me of a boy from my high school! $5 all the way! ;)
|
|
Its like transformers
|
 |
Leave the hands, dont listen to Evilpinkie. Everyone in there has 4 fingers so the jock should too. I could just sit and stare at it for hours. the placement is great the colors are great and the style is great. so you get a great 5$
|
|
better color but great
|
 |
okay, so my dream in high school. awesome design!!
|
 |
just wow.
amazing work. this will get printed in no time 5/$ |
 |
haha niice $5
i sure wouldnt want to be the crotch guy though |
|
Rockslide on Dec 13 '05 haha, oh man rooster, that made me laugh for a good minute.
-I wanted to say also, since there have been some comments on the color, since this is monochromatic, it actually works on any shirt based in that shirt color. I played around with it and it looks pretty cool in a navy and a green too, but this is my first choice. I may post the other color options if I get a chance. |
 |
d3d on Dec 13 '05 it's brilliant but i'd prefer the jock wasn't on it. i'd wear it if it was just nerds assembling to wreak unknown nerdly havoc rather than get revenge on a bully. too many bad memories.
|
 |
fastjumper on Dec 13 '05 awesome
|
|
Best. Shirt. Ever. And leave the jock.
|
 |
love it SOOO much, im a music nerd! but i really dont like these colors, its just so blah! lets see some VARIATION ok??? PLZ cause i want this T
|
 |
OMFG AWEOSME!!!!!! i love this times amillion
|
 |
really really well done:)
|
 |
Hahaha!!! This is amazing, Rockslide! Optimus Nerd?
It kinda reminds me of MAD's humor and style, which is great! The whole idea are really good, and the execution is kick ass! (Pun intended) ; ) |
 |
love love love
5 $ |
 |
this design makes me laugh so hard that poo comes out my nose!
yes...i am having this problem checked out. but totally awesome! i love this shirt! amaaaaaaazing work! 5555$$$$ congrats on an excellent deisgn. great colour too :) |
 |
stickymike on Dec 13 '05 This is a totally rad idea man, totally rad
though I have to be honest, I hate the jock but shit.....when you have this many positive comments...in the first day, why should my whiney ass opinion matter totally rad! (if this gets printed, please take the jock out so I can buy it and sport the shit out of it) |
 |
very good job! nice illustration and good use of the colors. way to go, man!
|
|
I love it. Definatly will buy it $5$
|
|
heh!!!!!!!!!
small aside: i love the jock's super-huge calves, but one of his quads looks a little small. i can see why people dislike him, but i don't think the t-shirt would make much sense if he wasn't there (the first thought i had was that they were forming a pyramid for a school picture.... errrr.... so i think they'd be more open to interpretation if he wasn't there) i was also wondering if you could help me out... i feel sort of silly asking, but all i've ever drawn with is a pencil, and now i'm trying to figure out how to use illustrator, but was wondering what you use for your designs because i can't imagine being able to put all that super-small detail into a drawing via computer. |
 |
WOW!
im blown away. im not usually one for children's book / family circus style illustration, but this piece is incredible. awesome composition as well. save me one of these when this design gets printed. Almighty 5! |
|
hey you guys, leave the jock alone! go pick on a nerd! ; )
|
 |
haha, this is hilarious. I might would buy it, I dunno though. I have a feeling I'd hafta explain it to the people that would see me wearing it, haha. 5. Awesome job.
|
|
Rockslide on Dec 14 '05 thanks again guys! I'm on a flippin' high after reading all this feedback, I could get hit by a mack truck and be stuck in a hospital listening to kids bop 12 and still be excited.
-to enamine- this is the first of my subs that actually wasn't done in illustrator, I did a pencil sketch, then inked it and then then imported it to photoshop and painted it there. Although- this would be easy enough to do in illustrator if you so desired, you would just need a wacom tablet and then make some custom brushes to speed it along. I've done more detailed than this in illustrator. I like doing a variety of styles and so I thought I'd keep this one in a hand-drawn style. |
 |
wow, I wish I had a gang of loyal nerds to abnd together when I was little , that would have saved me a wedgie or three.
very sweet shirt |
 |
yep, I see me in there! totally rad ;)
|
 |
Hang in there nerds! Haha! Just look at that jock! Who rules now fella? Fantastic! My daughter needs this for her birthday early 2006. Please print!
|
 |
Fantastic work! Definite Winner!
$5 |
|
What a fantastic illustration must have taken a fair while. Reall y good work
|
 |
mezo on Dec 14 '05 This is an awesome illustration...the wee asian violinist makes it. Supurb job.
|
|
great stuff - not sure if i would wear it but its a 5 and great drawing! fuck shit man - love the hands - agreed though no jock and i could wear it, just nerds about to do damage
|
|
thanks rockslide!
(i thought the tablet would do the trick, but have never tried it so couldn't imagine that you could get so precise with it. ha!) |
|
And I'll form the head!
5$ |
|
I don't know what to think, but it got a 4
|
|
fantastic idea but I"m not sure i'd wear it. great though, really.
|
 |
Awesome shirt, the first decent shirt in the latst 100 or so that I've rated. Though I don't think I'd wear it since I can't stand Khaki shirts for some reason. Also, the bully's 4 fingered hands get on my nerves, I'm not sure why. Regardless this is clearly going to be printed. 4
|
 |
DeadPoetic_Underoath on Dec 14 '05 5$
|
|
oh god, nerd-tron. That had me laughing out loud. I'd buy this in a heart beat.
Hopefully on a different color shirt, though! I've got so many shirts of that color... |
|
$5
|
 |
the title grabbed me, i clicked, and now i'm in love <3
$5 |
 |
>:{
I am not a nerd. |
 |
haha... the orchestra nerd is asian.. racism at its finest...
i think the jock should stay.. dont see why not... 5 |
 |
radhotrobot on Dec 14 '05 $ 5
|
|
racism? saying that asians do better at the cerebral skills like orchestral music is racism? it's a stereotype (and somewhat of a compliment) but it's not racism. let's avoid throwing the word 'racism' out like a flipping frisbee.
|
 |
label on Dec 14 '05 Holy crapola... 92 and I day has passed by...
OMG!! 5 |
|
This is awesome! If I was one of the people, I'd have to say I'd be the Renaissance girl. $5
|
 |
LOL print it at once! 5$
|
 |
Great concept and illustration. Not too wearable but I love it.
|
 |
really awesome! Every nerd has a different face, now thats comitment! 5+ $
|
|
yea this is totally rad, i should be in there somewhere, holding onto a Beach Boys vinyl
|
 |
Incredible. I would wear this one so much I'd have to buy another, ad infinitum.
|
|
this is my favorite shirt yet. i would definitely wear it and all my friends would too. its hilarious
|
|
ever herd of rob dobi?
hes done this before |
|
nice i would buy it
|
 |
kaloyster on Dec 14 '05 NO.. FUCKING.. WAY!
this is far the best idea i've ever seen in Threadless since the beginning! |
 |
theperk on Dec 14 '05 wow rob dobi's image is nothing like this. but yeah this is sweet 103 comments on the first day... wow
|
|
Rockslide on Dec 14 '05 alright, whenever someone says an idea has been done before I like to go directly to the source, so I found that rob dobi guy's site and looked all over for a similar pic. I found one called revenge of the nerds but c'mon! it looks absolutely nothing like this, not even close, its like worse than saying olli copied jester by far. anyways, I just wanted to address that.
So! thanks for all the new comments, this is pretty incredible, I've already beat my last record for comments in just one day! I've had a couple comments also on my blog thread for this shirt asking why there isn't a threadless nerd? Haha! Oh but there is! Look for the all too common squid nerd, penguin nerd, and food shirt nerd! There are a couple other little jabs, but I'll let you find them. |
|
Nice design I give it a 5. id but it.
|
 |
I can see this getting printed but i cant see me wearing it
|
|
funny as hell. definite 5
|
|
I really love this. I'd like to see the other colors though. Also, I'm not sure about the placement. But def 5$.
|
 |
nice work
|
|
Holy SH*T! HAHA! Nice!! Did you get inspiration at all from that Invader zim episode where the babies form gigantor baby or something. Not rag it on it just reminded me of that. One of the best ideas I have seen since Robot Pron idea a while back $5
|
 |
lmao so reminds of stroker and hoop right now, 5 and excellent expressions :)
|
|
i personally wouldnt wear it but its hilarious!
|
 |
DrawingEvils on Dec 15 '05 I just want to know which guy do you draw first????? ahahahhah
|
|
heh go nerds. id wear it :)
|
 |
I think you designed this for me,...amazing $5
|
 |
$500
that´s what I´m talking about. |
|
Do we have to wait for seven whole days or can we say, "It's pretty much unanimous; PRINT ALREADY!" (another background colour would work too.)
|
 |
Awesome. Simply awesome. You don't need to be in high school or anything to appreciate this. If you are or were a nerd/geek/misfit, and felt the effects thereof, this shirt is worth its weight in gold.
Awesome design. PRINT PRINT PRINT |
 |
This is amazing. u bloody genius you! 5$
|
|
grayehound on Dec 15 '05 The only question about this left is whether or not it'll break a 4...
|
|
(second comment) This is just so freakin' cool. How long did it take you to create.
|
|
This has to be printed! I would most definately buy it. Hilarious.
|
 |
thsi is the BEST Design i've seen yet this week.
Halrious! 5 and $!!! |
 |
I'd BUY X1000
|
|
Rockslide, one technical question: Illustrator or Flash, which do you prefer?
|
|
Rockslide on Dec 15 '05 Like I've said before guys, you all rock. I've been on cloud 9 for a couple days now, this is awesome. (wait, I claim the right to design a cloud 9 shirt, that would be cool)(I'm serious, I'm designing a cloud 9 shirt right now in my head)
So! There have been some new questions about the design so I will answer them! DrawingEvils- I didn't draw any specific nerd first. I drew out a general sketch of the overall form of the meganerd and then started to break it up in key areas. I had to have one nerd anchor the whole sketch and so I guess the first one I gave attention to was the classic nerd, or as Rooster called him, the "crotch nerd" haha. Then I started to lightly piece in all the different areas making sure they all worked as a whole, and then I continued to add more and more detail all around till it was done. Then I inked it and colored it in Photoshop. Heko- it took probably about a week working on and off to finish. Like I'm guessing...5 hours for the sketch, 1.5 hours for the ink, 5 hours for the color? That's just guessing it all into compact hours. BlackSheep77- Illustrator all the way. Are you kidding? haha. Illustrator can do so much more than Flash, its not even a contest, like Soda Popinski vs. Glass Joe. Just like Corel Painter is heads and tails better than Photoshop for digital painting, like King Hippo vs. Piston Honda. Thanks again guys! I hope my next design is nearly as well recieved, its quite different, style and subject wise. Its called "Zeus & Thetis" but it won't be up till Jan. Later for now. Lil' Mac needs help. |
|
Marvelous. You complete me.
|
 |
Awesome i want one
|
|
Have fun with your $1000 Rockslide.
|
 |
wOw i though 121 comments with one day left was good. this is unbelievably popular.
|
 |
$5
I love this! |
|
When are you going to print the awesomeness that is this shirt?! Tell me , tell me now!!
|
 |
The amount of detail is amazing.
|
|
AWESOME!
it's about time. |
|
Hot DAMN. That's... mind blowing. I love how the various nerds form features when you look at the hybrid nerd from a distance... for example, the hand on the right has fingers flexing which are actually legs and shoes. I just... zomgg. almost 150 comments in barely two days... Total winner, for sure.
|
 |
i was a bandgeek jock! I FREEEEAKIN' LOOOVVEEE THIS. i could stare at this for hours.
|
 |
Sweeeeeet 5$
|
 |
Awesome stuff!! It's like an optical illusion! HA! 5$
|
 |
i love this shirt, shirt shirt shirt, down in my belly i want this shirt.
|
 |
really like this, very good design.
|
 |

it totally reminds me of plague of the babies from invader zim |
|
Great idea, great drawing, great job. $$$5
|
 |
DAMN YOU, CLEVER FIEND!!!! 5 and buy.
|
|
love it, hope it gets printed. I particularly love the expression of the "jock" :P 5 points
|
 |
Holy handgrenade! That's just really really great, in an awesome way! man, you can draw!
|
|
Comments galore! Nice job. Is that I squid I see on one nerd's shirt? Very cool if it is.
|
 |
jonhillier on Dec 16 '05 Wonderful.
|
|
OH. MY. GOSH. This is sheer beauty! I was SEVERAL of those nerds! I was definitely a big-time band geek... I also had a dash of Renaissance geek... had friends who were orchestra geeks... a boyfriend's best friend was too-big-belt-buckle geek... I love the one with the butterfly patch on her pant leg. My favorite is the geek girl dangling off the right arm.
This is awesome. |
 |
haha very nice! 5
|
 |
oh maaaaaaaaaaaan.
this shirt is SO getting printed. FINALLY a shirt for us nerds right? |
|
thank god everyone loves this t-shirt so much! There's no way they won't print it! Dude- seriously, I'm your biggest fan.
|
 |
So I'm gussing the score for this one and its: >3.69
I just can't get over how FAB this design is. Its designers like you that are going to make me very very poor from Threadless. I was gonna say you left out the goth/punk wanna be nerd - but nope he's up by the left shoulder. The amount of thinking that must have gone into this design is begigantic. ALL the nerds are there - and I love how so many people posted that they can see themselves in it (I'm the girl in the turtleneck getting steped on by the squid nerd) And the jock so has to stay: I'm thinking the nerds must have all come into contact with some mutagenic ooze or radioactives of somesort unawares and then the next time they were threatened by the bully (maybe taken down ot 30% power level) it activated some new auto-defence mechanism: The Mega-nerd-zord a la power rangers and the like. Then the rest is history. In conclusion: WOW and I say again WOW. p.s. my 'lost a wheel' came in today - you rock |
|
Ah I love it! The band member is right at the top <3
|
|
I'm in a medieval recreation society and just saw myself included in that geek monster.
I have mixed emotions: I just realised I'm a geek. But this is such an awesome shirt! 5$! |
 |
HAHAH SWEET. I'M THE ONE AT THE BOTTOM WITH THE VIOLIN! <33
|
 |
i love this idea man.. definate 5
|
 |
i love this, but the offecenter design throws me off. maybe center it n the middle of the shirt
|
|
stickymike on Dec 16 '05 its amazing the ammount of comments this has achieved, why not one more?
|
|
4 days left and counting 'til it's printed.... I'm gonna be upset if it doesn't get printed =(
|
 |
ASIAN ORSHESTRAL NERDS 4 LYFE!!!!111
|
 |
arent you guys jealous he's my brother? i get to see the designs before you do! ha ha ha
but seriously, isnt the asian kid with the violin hilarious?! haha if threadless doesnt print this shirt then ill just have to make it myself |
|
hey im a friend of his sister! i get to see them too!
this is by far my favorite shirt on this website. its people like rocky that make me love threadless.com! i hope you guys print this shirt for real rocky- enjoy your 1000 bucks |
 |
Yes, yes!!!! I would so buy this shirt. Where are the Chess geeks?!?!
|
|
XD
I want this shirt! $5 They'll print the shirt. They'll print it so I can buy it. :] [GR] Geek Revolution! |
 |
I see a winner.
This is simply amazing. GREAT IDEA GREAT illustration GREAT execution. EVERYTHING! YAY! I WANT IT! |
 |
For a minute I thought the portly guy on the "monster's" left arm was wearing the nerd bird shirt from threadless, haha.
|
|
An amazing illustration! Are there really only 4 different shades?
$5 |
 |
O HOLY CRAP!!! THIS ROCKS ROCKS ROCKS! makes me proud to be a nerd!! WOOT WOOT!
|
|
id love to see this shirt catapult into the 4.0 average mark.
|
|
it's really nice, the only thing i would do is change the jocks pants to not be so bellbottomy
|
|
kody davies, at 2:09am on Dec 17, 2005
arent you guys jealous he's my brother? heck, i'm jealous of your boyfriend! ; ) |
|
Rockslide on Dec 17 '05 I really don't know what to say to this overwhelming response. This is awesome. I think I'll just quit now, because I don't think I'll be able to produce a shirt with a greater response than this. Or maybe I'll just do a totally crappy shirt next on purpose just to take down the pressure, how about a shirt of a fat man in a leotard walking a komodo dragon in winter and call it Yellow Experiment 62Blue? That should work. Thanks again guys!
BlackSheep- Hey punk! Get your hands off my sister! haha. she's pretty tough though she could probably beat you with your own arms and then stick your arms where your legs should be and then stick your legs where your arms should be. Just a warning. |
 |
WOW> this is amazing
|
 |
Bravo. Encore.
My only suggestion is to make a few of the nerds...more obviously nerdy. Most of them are great. But other than that it's a 5, a 55. |
|
this is way beyond awesome
|
|
"My only suggestion is to make a few of the nerds...more obviously nerdy. Most of them are great. But other than that it's a 5, a 55. "
I'd have to disagree with vivalakelsi on that one; not all nerds are obviously nerdy... Rockslide: Looks like I'll have to learn to type with my feet! ; ) |
 |
Love it $5 - hope it is printed :o)
|
|
superfantastic, $5 buy. Amazing use of shades within the colour limitations, if it was allowed to be in full colour it would be even more stunning. Make a full colour print so I can put it on my wall!
|
 |
i know this is getting redundant, but seriously, ive scored 7152 designs and there are a whole bunch of printed shirts on threadless from before i joined/never scored, and this is by far the best design and the one i want most out of all of them.
|
 |
bortwein on Dec 19 '05 I would buy this as a Full Color Poster.
|
 |
Congrats ^_^
|
 |
Wow dude. Congratulations. $5
|
|
i love this!!!
|
|
this might break a 4 average
|
|
stickymike on Dec 20 '05 If it breaks 4, im gonna cry
with joy for rockslide |
 |
way to go....this is so printed!
|
 |
WOW! Awesome... awesome... awesome!
|
 |
I wish this were printed!
|
 |
omg ahahahaha i never saw this shirt before, it's so funny

It's beautiful and awesome!!! This shirt is my first threadless purchase. And I'm going to wear it today. <3
|
|
Rockslide on Feb 28 '06 I just wanted my comments to get to 200.
|

Rockslide on Feb 28 '06 And done.

this makes nerd looks cool. If only nerd's could do this in real life....
|
 |
Ohh! He's going down!
Revenge is sweet. |
 |
REPRINT!!
|
 |
A-F****-MAZING.
|
|
Best shirt Imo, please reprint -_-
|
 |
please reprint.
this shirt is perfect for my boyfriend and would make an excellent christmas gift. i |
 |
All the details and clever manipulation of shape is so wonderful in this illustration.
The way the band geek's coat makes the teeth. The way people's heads make the eyes and their legs make the horns. You've done a great job designing the hands of the beast to look just like hands with thumbs and fingernails on some parts. I simply cannot fathom how any human being can be this clever. This is entirely too amazing for me to look at any longer. Sheesh. I would have given it a $5 if it were still up for voting, not that it needed my help anyway. |
 |
Super amazing, you put attention to every little detail. One of the best Ive ever seen.
|
|
LOVE it!
