I’m a huge fan of fantasy and sci-fi and I was thinking, if I could choose only one weapon from any of the series I enjoy, what would it be?
Staff – Gandalf the White’s from LOTR
Lightsaber – Star Wars
Sword – Excalibur from Merlin
Sonic Screwdriver – 10th Doctor
Wand – Elder wand from Harry Potter
Enjoy!! :)
I’m an 18 year old college student who has a passion for designing.
Hope you all enjoy my shirts :)

I've pinned it on the Harry Potter Qwertee Shirt List board at Pinterest and added tags for the other fandoms too in the hope it'll get some more votes this way. http://pinterest.com/sentstarr/the-harry-potter-qwertee-shirt-list/

Thank you very much! Greatly appreciated! I shall up-vote some of your shirts ;)
This might kill my geek-cred, but what's the one next to the wand and what sword in particular is next to the lightsaber?
Ah Jesus, I really should read the descr*ption first... Me am dumb
I'd love to wear this, but the sword looks pretty generic...
Maybe have a Lady's hand clutching the hilt? That's always a giveaway.

I LIKE it! It definitely says Excalibur--what other sword comes with its own stone?
Great :) I've had some people say it looks better in green, what does everyone think?

A multiple reference shirt and I understand all of them! SCORE!
Personally, I prefer the sword without the stone.. but an excellent idea, so would buy either way! I vote for blue!

I prefer it without the sword too but I agree with the people who have said that it needs to be more recognisable as Excalibur, so I thought I would make a version with a stone and see how it is recieved
Must...........HAve..............T-SHIRT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OuO
I vote for the Blue one.... Blue is my favorite color, plus it's the original accent color of the sonic screwdriver. :)
I like the blue one. Really nice shirt
I am not sure about this on the Merlin series itself, but in most literary versions of the Arthurian legends Excalibur IS NOT the Sword in the Stone. Arthur gets Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake. She is the one who makes it in most of the books I have read. It is often returned to her at the time of his death. However, I understand putting it in the stone to make people associate it with Arthur.
A quick search found the episode titled Excalibur in Merlin, and it told me that Merlin forges the sword with the help of a dragon's breath. Is that site correct? I love what I have seen of the series, but I haven't seen many episodes, yet.

You are correct and I am aware of the original legends, however, I did try to do a hand as suggested and It looked too awkward. Either way, people tend to associate a sword in the stone with merlin over a lady's hand on the hilt so I decided to go in that direction. The site you found is correct and he does indeed forge the blade with the help of a Dragon's breath. The series used a great deal of artistic licence on the story line and it has been changed somewhat, but it makes for a great series anyway and I fully advise you to watch them all :)
Not giving too much away, the BBC Merlin series where the Excalibur on this shirt is from, eventually ends up in a stone further in the story line, which was another reason i favoured the stone over the hand. Saying this, they do incorporate the lady of the lake as well, but it is quite vague.
Blue.

Ooh. Torn. Recognise/want all, but... 10th Doctor screwdriver over 11th... :P Tcha, had it been 11's I'd be right in there. Now I shall have to think about it...
Everyone I know hates the 11th Doctors Screwdriver. It's green for one thing and it has always been blue on previous incarnations.. and that gastly claw! Each to his own I suppose but I was just doing what I thought most people would like, as everyone I asked when designing it said 10th's

I like the green... but would still get it if it's blue :)
YES I LOVE IT! :D THANK YOU! <3
I love this shirt.. I've been waiting since the newsletter for it to come out and it doesn't disappoint!! Awesome!! :)
Instabuy #4.This tee is just... perfect ♥
Oh God, I love Qwertee so much
It's just...how do you choose? I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan, but I respect it for its mythology, but to try to choose between Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Arthurian Legend, and Lord of the Rings? How is that even humanly possible. If you're a nerd at least.
this shirt is too awesome not to have it !
Having to tie Excalibur to a modern show so that people will know what it is makes me a bit sad. Everybody should at least know of Excalibur.

The Master sword in other words. But this sword looks nothing like the Master Sword. I happen to be huge fan of Zelda, I tried to make it so no one got confused!
I agree, no criticism intended, SaraCVT asked what sword cones with a stone ;)
Nice tee btw, there is no Dr. Who in me otherwise it'd be a must. Keep up the good work!
Just ordered this one! My first QWERTEE!
I love it :)
gah. i vowed to buy this one if it was in green. on last chance in blue, I'm going to have to think all day on it.
I love and would buy this shirt except for one thing...warning: links to adult toy site http://bit.ly/9lTHTj
This may be more the fault of the artist for the elder wand than for your shirt design, but I'm just saying, walking around with something like that on your shirt changes the conversation. One of these things is not like the other, and such.
Sonic screwdriver = choosen
Wish it were in other colors. The blue is just so loud. But it's stil cool!
I love this but I wish Sherlock's bow was on there as well...
