Raeli's T-shirt Thread

Wait, why does it need to be removed? He’s asking for feedback on designs that happen to be for t-shirts that we might be interested in. He’s not just marketing them.

In any case, that Dan student shirt needs a LOT of work. It’s a good idea, but look at some old gym t-shirts and dojo shirts for reference and sort of model yours to feel more authentic.

Yeah, it was just an idea of what I was going for. I want to get an action shot of dan, actually, instead of just redrawing the taunt pose like I did. Just don’t have a lot of time on my hands to do it tonight.

edit: And find the perfect ‘YMCA Gym Karate Dojo’ font.

Dan shirt has massive potential.

Okay, so I did some work on a dan shirt, and found some pretty terrible inspiration:

Oh lawd.

Well, the result is pretty great in my book, might need a little tweaking but I’m actually very happy with it.

^ Ok that is definitely badass.

It would be cooler if you had the inputs for the super taunt on the back:

:qcf:, :qcf: + :hk: + :hp:

:rock::rock:

I think Dan and his Kanji (Kanji says Hibiki Dan, btw) might need to be downsized a little bit… but then again it’s Dan, he’s an attention whore and wants a lot of space on his shirt dedicated to him.

This shirt is now that hot fire. Again, though… it won’t be cheap, because of two colors + minimum order quantity being six.

I’ll definitely add that to my list of prebuyable shirts when I finish the design process and move this to Trading Outlet.

edit: Nevermind, if I sell at least 10 of them they’ll go for $20+S/H. Pretty good deal, imo!

Elegant in it’s simplicity?

:rofl:

Great idea, but the silhouette needs to be a little more clear that its dictator…not sure how to accomplish that.

What about an outline of his head/shoulders?

I’ll draw up a new Dictator silhouette later, but I think I’d prefer to go ‘full body’’ on these.

Just a test design as far as Dan goes… only problem with actually doing this is that these shirts cost considerably more! And I have to have an order of at least 6 of them…

Price made me swear pretty hard… for an order of 6 they were like 23-24 each.[/quote]

Damn, but that shit is sweet. Its a shame you can’t use the face though, cause the sparkling teeth speaks Dan! But true fans of Saikyo can appreciate this shirt. I’ll show it to him and I’m sure we can do something… there’s lots of Dan fans who’d like that one I’m sure. I have a killer idea myself though, if you’d like hear it.

Shoot. I’ll try to make all your dreams come true. As far as shirts goes. Maybe homo.

I might not be able to get at it right away, because I’m working on recovering my spiderbite induced skill loss in SFIV, so…

edit: Did you see this? I made this off of your initial request.

Yeah I like them both actually. That above one is hot fire for sure. The original one is authentic that it looks like a shirt Dan’d make lol The super taunt combination would def top it off.

I was brainstorming one in my head last night myself, but I’d require to use his face though. Unless I could make it myself, but I don’t know where to even begin with it.

Yeah, well, again as a result of the group buys… the prices would be unreal for the first one just because I don’t think it’d sell… rofl.

The second one I think will sell like hotcakes. So we’ll see.

I did too and at that time I never even sold a shirt but Quiche still moved my thread. You really should be asking him that question.

I just think it’s fair since I started this “trend” and got my thread moved to a place littered with Joystick parts and random memorabilia being bought, sold and traded.

My defense for this type of thread was I too am a GDer and all wanted was incite from other people who happen to be GDer’s aswell. It still got moved…

Soon, he will sell some shirts. That’s why it was moved since that’s where everyone else is selling their stuff.

All im saying is the same will be done sooner or later so just be prepared for it.

Ah that sucks. I really hope he does get something going here. I want first dibs on the Dan shirt.

But while I’m here, what ideas do you have for a Sakura shirt Raeli? Sakura’s my main, so I ask.

The way i see it if you are creating t-shirt designs and are looking for suggestions or the like on your designs that’s fine.However if this is going to ultimately be the thread where you sell the shirts then it would end up in Trading outlet.

Maybe when you have the designs that you wanna run with setup you can open the thread in TO and leave this one for critiquing new designs and ideas. As long as no sales are handled here I see no problem.

best mod for 2010.

That’s the idea, actually. Glad we’re on the same page!
