Something I really want to get into doing is design for t-shirts. So I have been working on my first design and, when I am done with the design and do a little test to see how it looks on a shirt, I will see about taking orders, but can only do it if I get at least 13 orders. Anyway, getting a little ahead of myself for the moment. I was just wondering if I could get some suggestions on what I currently have done. Mainly anything regarding lineart and color for both the dragon and what color/colors of shirts I should use (The brand I plan on buying has a large variety of colors). I am also still debating what Mr. Dragon should be looking at. Well, here is my inprog design on deviantart: KM-cowgirl.deviantart.com/art/Watch-U-Dragon-Inprog-1-127715796Any and all input is gladly appreciated! |

Maybe you could draw a little scortch mark and make it seem like he was angry at the shirt or something? ^^
I like the way he looks, however, I suggest starting out with small pictures because larger ones cost a lot more to print. =)

Alrighty! I've made several t-shirt designs before, so I'll try and think up helpful advice. Can't vouch for sanity right now though, since its just after 5 in the morning. ~_~
First off the lines could be a bit cleaner, especially right under the neck. As for the object of the dragon's attention? Well I think a butterfly or a dragonfly would work well, with its flight path trailing behind it a bit. In my opinion it would be better to make whatever he's gazing at relatively simple.

Unless that's to unoriginal.

Also, I think they company charges based on how many colors you have in your design. So for me, a 2 color design would cost about $3 per shirt, which isn't bad especially when just plain basic t-shirts, ordered from a catalog, tend to be $5 at the most. Although I a thinking, for a test run at least, to either get some of that print out iron on stuff or go to the copy store and have them print it out on that special paper and use the heat press at work to press it on. I'm still looking into it though. When I get a more complete design done (And see about bringing the color count down a bit) I'm going to bring the file into work with me and get it all completely figured out. |
