Goafer Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Cheers guys. I'm running out of things to photograph/edit though!
Paj! Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Cheers guys. I'm running out of things to photograph/edit though! Surely that's impossible? Take a photo of something you find mundane and try to make it as brilliant as you can. Then take abstratc shapes/negative shapes from around it and make that into a design etc. Ideas have to develop.

Oh yeah, I'll be able to take more photos once I actually remember to take my camera with me when I go out. I meant I was running out of things to photograph in my house and running out of things to edit out of the ones I've already taken Edit: edited a few more pictures and came up with this: Close up: Fear the HypnoPidgeon! Or don't, whatever. Edited May 19, 2009 by Goafer
Goafer Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) New design. Click for closeup: Non halftone version: I was going for just a giant block of technicolour, but I'm not sure if it "works" or not. Any oppinions? I personally think the halftone one works better, but I'm still not sure. Edited May 23, 2009 by Goafer
Paj! Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 The first one is better. The black one looks like one of those cheap band t-shirts where an image is just pasted on and sold. The white one really works.
Happenstance Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I would prefer the bottom one if it was integrated better onto the shirt, at the moment just as a block it looks like Paj described it
Rummy Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 I get the darndest feeling I'm gonna know the answer you guys'll give to this question, but if I wanted to get a t-shirt made(say just a one off) where would you guys suggest I do it? Basically somewhere that'd be kinda cheap(£10ish), and would let me stick a simple image from my comp onto a t-shirt.
Goafer Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 (edited) RedBubble and Cafe Press are the only places I know of. RedBubble is £12.07 for your own work. Made an entry into the Automobile challenge on RedBubble. I can do the whole cutout style of a full car (Twice in fact), but I wanted to do something different since everyone seems to be doing the full car thing. Although I did want to enter Sapporo but it had to be a new piece: Edited June 15, 2009 by Goafer
Goafer Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Yeah, it was from this photo. The text was from this one. I tend to take a tonne of photos, most of them a bit iffy (those ones I had a smudge on the lens), but now I have a use for them. I can take bits from them to make shirts.
Retro_Link Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Is the automobile challenge just one of the chellenges setup by a user?... cos I haven't heard of it from redbubble.
Goafer Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 I finally got my Patrick Moore/GamesMaster shirt looking good (IMO). I didn't know what to do about the background on the previous version but thanks to a new challenge on redbubble, I have got it looking how I want it: The porthole isn't a perfect shape, but that's due to the porthole being that way, not my shoddy photoshoppage honestly...
Happenstance Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Yeah I much prefer this new version, the porthole rounds it off nicely and gives it the edge which I think the old one needed
Eenuh Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Yeah I agree, the porthole gives it a more finished, polished look. Looks better this way. =) I added a new shirt recently with a really simple drawing, something I started during my exams. Nothing too great, but oh well. Just need to think of new things to make heh.
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Haha, I like that. Are you going to do the "tummy monster" soon?
Eenuh Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Haha, I like that. Are you going to do the "tummy monster" soon? At some point I will yes. =P I just posted this in the Bargains Thread, but figured it could go in here as well. RedBubble are selling shirts with a 15% reduction this week. Plus if you buy five shirts you get free shipping. Just for all those people here who'd like to buy their own shirts or something. =P
Beast Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I've never seen this RedBubble before, looks cool though. So you make a design and you send the file to them and they print it on a t-shirt and sell it for you?
Eenuh Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Pretty much yeah. You make design, upload them and people can buy them. RedBubble prints them and sends them out, and you get a certain percentage of the money. Anyway, tummy monster is done! Grahhhhh! Coloured ink on a brown paper bag. =P
Beast Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 How much do you guys charge and how much profit do you make? Sorry, just really interested and I can't seem to find no straight answers, lol. And that t-shirt is awesome, lol.
Eenuh Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 There is a certain base price per article, which is what RedBubble needs to make the shirts and earn some profit for themselves. You can change how much you earn by asking for a bigger percentage, but of course the more you ask for the more the people who buy your shirts will be charged for. Mine is set to 20% (it's the default one I think), so I make about €2.50 - €2.80 per shirt that I sell. No idea about prices in £.
Eenuh Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Hehehe, ended up making another shirt today. Something a bit different again. =P
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 I keep looking at the last robot and laughing. It's awesome. Well done, my darling.
