Very nice. I would work on the hand a bit more, refine the shape and give it a sleeker look - right now it has that jagged feel of low quality (specifically the front fingers). Also, I would work on the typography a bit more. For tshirts, you need something that is readable, not something stylish or techno-groovy. Typography is a huge part of graphic design--advertisement, tshirts, commercials, etc. Personally, the font you're using is so overused that it's sickening (or a type of variation). Get something that displays the message clearly and does not strain the eyes - yet also allows interest to be created.

Also, the number of colors you're using will be a bitch for printing the tshirts, money-wise. But oh well

Nice,

I like it, personaly preference for me would be to have the image as more a landscape image than a portrait. I think wide stuff looks better on tshirts than tall stuff.

Couple of questions. Have you ordered anything from your store at CafePress? If you have then is their stuff quality prints? Also what is the song played on the main page of your site? I dont see it in the credits.

Hmm...now for the answers.

I drew the image on paper and scanned it then traced it in flash and added color and detail.

As far as the fingers go.....mmmm....I'm not sure I quite undestand...any pics for reference. That's just kinda how I draw fingers. Kinda need a visual please.

As far as the colors....I did this on a shirt http://www.d7peacemaker.com/Small/arch2/d7_front_desk.jpg

it printed perfect...I think cafepress does some thing to it...anyways...two birds with one stone...I made this shirt and then uploaded it and as soon as I was done I immediatley ordered the shirt and overnighted it. My shirt arrived the next morning of the following day on Easter weekend. Soo....they seem cool to me.

As far as the design goes....I am going to post this "designer" esque one that's like small and wide...very minimalist. But this is more for the convention I am going to and everyone there will have giant image on the front....kinda like a show and tell.

I also wanted to do a small minimalist shirt....but...I gotta play the anime guy on this as opposed to the designer I would love to do...thanks for the honesty MilkMan...I plan to do one like this as another shirt

But I'll have some cool webrefernces on the bottom.....cool designer shirt I think

as well I'll probably do one with just my Konji logo small and in the center...I just figured for an anime convention these people like big pictures and all.

anyways thanks for the responses all. I appreciate the feedback. I am in the middle of the May1 reboot...after that and this Kon I will try and do some better shirts and all.

Ohh by the way...Thanks for the comliments Roundeye....really means alot...I'll try and hit you an email on the character design bit I mentioned in your post with the gunboy.
