If this doens’t win I will cry myselft to sleep every single night.
It’s cool, but I couldn’t really tell those were snake heads…if you worked on those a bit you’d be all good.
Nice design. You can thank Warren Ellis, http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=5506 for my vote.
Great design. I came from Boing Boing. Registered only to vote for this shirt.
It’s hard to tell what’s what. And there is already a buddha with serpants shirt by “lexane”.
yeah I don’t really like it that much, no ofense but you have way to many votes for the quality of the design
Holy cowwww… I’ve never seen a design submission anywhere get Boing Boinged before?
Well, my design was posted on a couple high profile blogs, apparently. That explains a lot of the votes, I think. Plus I don’t think they’re just curtosey votes for my sake, I haven’t done anything out of the ordinary … I think these people actually want to wear the shirt. Plus it’s more traffic for DBH in general, which I think is great!
I personally love this shirt and would absolutely wear it. Although I actually prefer my GUNDANG GRITTY design, and wish it got more votes, too.
Thanks everyone for all the feedback.
More from me coming soon :]
He’s not cheating, I promise.
I came from WarrenEllis.com, who is this writer with a big cult following of fans.
OMG its a freakin mecha thingy buddha thingy
fall down on the grown and have seazures
it dont look good in my eyes, sorry but i cannot understand it has so many votes…. the propaganda seems to work
yeah the propaganda works, but this is definitely something I won’t buy… there is already some buddha shirts already for sale here. i just don’t get it.
omg y’all shouldn’t be hatin’ just because this is getting a lot of votes!
this is still sweet, and it’d look awesome with gold ink
this isn’t something i’d wear. that being said, i still think it’s a pretty sweet design. and what’s with all these people jumping on this for the number of votes it gets? some people are going to vote for it because if Warren Ellis likes it, it must be cool, but i suspect most people just like the design. how is it that the designs that get voted way up into the top 5 that have ZERO thought or effort usually get a pass on the hating, but this design, that actually seems to have had some effort/time put into it gets people riled up?
I don’t see all that much hating… maybe some, but there’s also some confusion from people who didn’t read the comments saying that they were referred by Warren Ellis and/or Boing Boing. And I’d like to mirror reyyy’s sentiment that the increased traffic for DBH, no matter the source or reason, is good!
Votes = Win, right? It’s ok to not like the design, it’s not for everyone, but why is it bad that apparently over 100 people DO like it? I’d wear this shirt, and Gundang Gritty, too. They’re just sweet designs, and they’ll have people askin’ questions. Personally, I was referred to THIS particular design by Warren’s site, but I was referred to Gundang Gritty through Reyyy’s MySpace. I know he’s wanted to rock some shirt designs for awhile, so I’m super pumped he’s doing it, and it looks like it could be made! Viva Reyyy!
I like it, this design would probably catch my eye even if it wasn’t by Corey.
Personally, I wouldn’t have found the shirt if I hadn’t seen it on Boingboing (I’ve never seen DBH before). It’s a shame that people somehow think that because it got linked out to higher profile sites it somehow invalidates it.
It suits my personal predilections nicely. I plan to buy at least two shirts if the design wins.
I don’t understand the popularity of this design either. It looks like something I saw in a souvenir shop in Hong Kong.
Oh really, you saw some Buddhas in ASIA? GET OUTTA TOWN. I THOUGHT I CREATED SOMETHING COMPLETELY ORIGINAL. Buddha please.
this isn’t a shirt yet?
i really love this design. it’s an awesome picture of Buddha with vipers and stuff behind him, but it doesn’t jump out at you so it’s not too distracting of a design. the colors and design blend into a shirt very well but when you really look at it you can see something very awesome and special. i love it.
i actually came to this site today hoping to buy this and your ‘gundang gritty’ shirt, but it’s not set up yet :(
What’s the deal? Is this not getting picked just because it was on boingboing.net? I admit that’s where I saw it and I signed up just so I could vote for it. Now I’ve been coming back here every day expecting to be able to buy it finally and no go. I bought one of the other Buddha shirts available in the meantime, but I’m still waiting for this one.
p3hrmne and jajuka: it takes longer than a few days even for popular designs to get printed and made available for sale. For example, February 1st’s design ( http://www.designbyhumans.com/shop/detail/1550 ) was submitted December 12. If you don’t want to keep having to check back, you can just wait to get the newsletter. They send one out every week with all the designs that were printed in the past week.
This is great, I would wear this. And thanks for the kind praise on my Naiad design.
I’d hit that.
