EEVILMURRAY Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Finished my Chimera designs for the people. Even separated each 'mon for individual shirts: http://www.redbubble.com/people/eevilmurray/portfolio If anyone wants a custom combination of any Pokémon (without the Team Chimera logo) lemme know and I'll remix a design.

Retro_Link Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I think it's worth changing the font, it's really difficult to read IMO. Did you hand draw or trace these, they're good, very accurate/good proportions, which is why I ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you hand draw or trace these, they're good, very accurate/good proportions, which is why I ask. The text is their logo, Chimera as an ambigram: I made the team myself. I hand drew/paint them, and remixed the proportions in Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I agree that the font is awful. It doesn't matter if it's an ambigram if it's completely illegible. Your friends need a better logo. I really wish you'd color your artwork on the computer. Otherwise I'm just reminded of those cheap t-shirts with photographs printed on them that you can buy at fairs. But maybe that's just me. Just taken as regular drawings, though, they're very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if you make it a proper png file with a transparent background. Otherwise it will have that dodgy look. If you changed the t-shirt colour on Redbubble it won't retain the black background.

Magnus Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Oh yeah, I meant to say, but maybe they look better in real life. That's my complaints taken care of, then. Except the logo, but I suppose not much can be done about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Oh yeah, I meant to say, but maybe they look better in real life. Here's a semi representation of them in real life: And that was with a massive logo. I reduced it since they started acting like dicks towards us Pokémon players. That's my complaints taken care of, then. Except the logo, but I suppose not much can be done about that. I feel that. I don't think I'll bother with them next time.

EEVILMURRAY Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Azel from Panzer Dragoon Saga: I need to learn how to use Photoshop to do this shit How does one learn quickly?! Oh yeah, I meant to say, but maybe they look better in real life. Have a look chap, waddaya think, mine finally arrived: You can see the design raping its way into the fabric. The only downside is that for some reason Redbubble have decided to ramp the brightness to the max when it's not needed, taking away some nice shading.

Magnus Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 It's hard to judge the quality of the print from a picture, but they seem to look good. Too bad they arrived after you needed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Too bad they arrived after you needed them. Only mine really. The ladies' and thankfully the kids did. Ironically the creator did not recieve his in time But I wore my Nationals shirt so didn't look too out of place. Proclaimed myself the Official Chimera Artist so should hopefully get that title in the next N-Gamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goafer Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I need to learn how to use Photoshop to do this shit How does one learn quickly?! YouTube videos is how I learn new things in Photoshop. The tools I used for the shirt were the pen tool for the general shape, layer effects for the black outline/fade, layer blending for the texture and masks to stop the texture being applied to everything.

Goafer Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 My friend Eoin wanted me to design a Peppa Pig shirt for him, specifically Daddy Pig. I'd first like to mention that he is in his early 20's. I'd secondly like to mention that I am a dick and will always find a way to take the piss with the design. Drawn entirely with the pen tool, polygonal lasso and paint brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 As a Dragonball Z fan I think that's awesome. I would almost go as far to say you should give him Super Saiyan hair, but I feel it may be lost on some. Was that mouse/tablet drawn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EEVILMURRAY Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Need some help constructing a design here. I'm working my way towards my Zelda Sage series and it's nearly done. But I'm wondering about the Sage Medallion placement (if at all) Here is Rauru: This is what the original design was thought to be: However some of the characters eclipse the medallions, so I thought I could shrink them and have them all except the relevant one is a little larger: [Don't worry about the medal designs themselves, they're just prototypes] Which do you think looks better? Or just scrap the medallions altogether? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I’d personally get rid of them altogether. And I’m sure people already commented on this in regards to your previous t-shirt designs.. But this could really do with some digital colouring. This would look so much better on t-shirts if you just stuck with flat colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 How does one colour digitally? [silly I know but I know jack about Photoshop] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) To explain it in a few sentences: - draw in pencil. - you could ink it on paper (trace it with a black pen), or do this digitally as well - scan your drawing, and clean it up by deleting grey spots, and playing with the contrast. You need to get a clean image with black lines from your drawing, and everything else should be white. - zoom in 2 or 4 times, the use the free-select tool (or what it’s called in photoshop), “trace” your black lines, and select an area that’s supposed to be one continuous colour. Make sure the selected area overlaps the black lines (so you don’t get transparent spots), but obviously don’t go outside of them. - select your preferred colour and use the full bucket. - oh forgot: set your original drawing on “muliply” mode. This is a seperate layer, and once cleaned up, should be kept at the top, and you won’t do any editing in this layer anymore. All the colours go beneath it. - Rinse & repeat; use a new layer for each piece of colouring. I’m not great in explaining things. Look for a tutorial.. Images should help immensly with these kind of things. Edited December 9, 2011 by Sméagol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I think the second design would look pretty good, if you just left the one medallion and got rid of the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sméagol Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Oh no, that’s absolutely not it. If you’d put this in the general gallery thread, it’d be fine, but since this is the t-shirt thread.. I don’t like the typical hand-coloured look on t-shirt designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan-likes-trees Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 On a t-shirt related note, has anyone else noticed redbubble bump up their prices? Really annoying, seeings as it's only worth selling tshirts if you get a good 3 - 4 quid off each one, and to do so you're now having to charge 18 19 quid for a tee... urgh.
