I think I'll forever hate pippi cuz hair. oh well.
theowest
well this t-shirt should appeal to as many people as possible right? kids too yknow.

something I'm really against is geeking out too much about the game or having people on t-shirts. text/logos always work the best, no matter what.
YodaSnipe
Actually I will agree with that :D

it shouldn't be designed in such a way that you have to know what it is to appreciate it - I agree with that notion. I think that's the point of good design, anyway.

Her hair makes no sense - I don't particularly enjoy drawing that bit of it, and I've tried my hand at making it work more naturally while keeping it recognizable as "Pippi's". Generally speaking, I don't like hairstyles that require large amounts of styling to make it work in real life.


As can be evidenced by pretty much all of my posts in "Post your Desktop" thread, I like minimalism.

Thus:


I do think it's important to give a face to the game, though, and having an established mascot character like pippi is natural to put on a shirt. Thinking about an idolm@ster parody shirt as well.


EDIT:
I was also grappling with the idea of a "signature" item for Pippi to use as a focal point in the design, similar to the character symbols from HidaSketch. These simple symbols can be used to put together a design that's aesthetically pleasing to someone who doesn't know the series, but gives a bit of "extra" to those who do.

Also, darkened the pink.

I like that design, but I think the "click" should be more vibrant pink (looks pink to me anyways) ^^

I agree with this. Right now, it appears to be a slightly pinkish sort of salmon color. Needs more pink for the REAL men. lol

On a side note, I have another design idea in mind. It's a lot more complex so I hope I can pull it off. D:

Hmm I didnt find her hair all that bad. Her hair makes perfect sense cause its overly simplistic which leaves room for expansion, I dont know why you would try to make natural sense of something that was overly exaggerated in the first place. I just look at it like a penis head cause all you need is the dividing line and length then its skys the limit XD
YodaSnipe
The fact that you had to compare to a penis for this, imo proves our point lol.
RBRat3
Well its the practical shape of it all, what you do with it is up to you.

Edited my designs post on page 6 with a third design featuring Pippi. :D

I finally made use of my unfinished art that I previously posted in the fan art thread and redrew it so that it would be a more fitting style for a t-shirt.

Can't wait to end this semmester, having a go at this as soon as I get some free time.

This thread is too burdensome to sort through so I've gone and added links to all the "submission posts" to date in the first post.

If I've missed anybody: idk go yell at me to add you to the OP. Or ask Skipper, he can do it too. He should also be on the ball.

To everyone linked in the OP: make sure all of your designs are in the linked post. If you've posted two designs in two separate posts, well, you shouldn'ta done that. Just edit the linked post to include all designs. It's for everyone's convenience, y'know?

I also can't seem to get BounceBabe's design to load. Is it like a gig in size or something?

Is this fine for an entry? or do i have to add colour onto it as well?

Erm. You do know that those names won't mean a thing to non-osu players?
Also, is that 'u' in "just" supposed to be solid black, unlike the rest of the lettering?

Then they should learn who those epic players are then ^^

There goes my effort



Osu, the game which you control an octopus and catch round things and the year is 2012.

Tried sticking with 4 or 5 colors at max, original file is 350dpi and 3000x3250px
YodaSnipe
Yukikaze Panettone still best design.
Urukins
If I were the one who would be spending money on t.shirts I still wouldn't be satisfied with any of the designs

Yukikaze Panettone's seems more suitable for a loading screen than a t-shirt to be honest
and I think jonnythatjonny's design has a way too heavy feel to it

other than these two no other seems nearly ok to be put on a shirt.

Eitherway the prizes don't seem worth competing for.

I don't get the whole octopus motif (other than the insinuation of tentacle-rape as the majority of osu!'s music and influence is in Japanese culture/media) and why is it grabbing a 6 what happened to 2 through 5

other than that I like it lol

my guess it's that it is grabbing the hits, when you play if you miss the hits you lose , or soemthing like that
JonnyThatJonny
That's because I would need goddamn tentacles to play like a pro. I thought about making the tentacles hold wacom bamboo pens but it would get even more random.

I could change it to a 9 if more people felt the same. I thought putting the osu! logo would make it more representative of the game and not look like just a bunch of numbers on circles. XD

I'm glad you and many others like my designs. I'd love more constructive criticism as well. Helps me tailor my designs to the community's wishes. :) <3

i think you could be true,
because i usually make something like Walpp, Loading Screen (for online game), etc. so when i tried to make it i dont have any idea what would look good on T-shirt.
anyway thx for your criticism xD xD xD xD

Get rid of everything in the store currently and fill it up with the submissions in this thread. I'm serious there are so many cool designs, some that I thought were cool were Mirry, ManuXP, Lolicon Flandre, Endless957,Yukikaze Panettone, and JonnyThatJonny. I would buy any of those shirts!

I like the osu! logo being there instead of the 9. Mixes up the pattern/expectation a bit and drives curiosity. The design might work better if you add another row, counting up to 12 hitcircles (keeping the osu! overtop the 9) even though a 12-hit combo is dodgy in-game, as shirts have a larger y-dimension than x-dimension

Your point about the y and x-dimensions is true, especially about those kinds of shirt designs. I'd like to consider my designs a sort of rough draft. I don't know who the main decision-maker is for the contest but I'm fairly flexible about my submissions. If something needs to be changed around, I can do it. :) I figured 1-12 might be a little too long of a count though and having the osu! on the 9 would make the following 10-12 a little lengthy but I can do it anyway. Haha.

Still needs tweaking (alignments were mostly eyeballed), but:

(thanks for the feedback thus far!)

Also, inverted versions for use on darker shirts:

And softer, more pastel-y colors:

It's one sentence, so I think that J should be in lowercase.

Here's what I think you should do
lowercase everything, place the words like so and use the colour grey for all words but "click".
awp
just out of curiosity does it really make sense to say "just a click away" on a non-digital format, ie a shirt

like, click what I don't get it

I kinda wish this didn't have the 2012 on it, since that will go out of date. Very nice design otherwise.

Oops. Unless I would just make the same model with 2013 in it for future reasons (in the remote case of being one of the winners) I'm not sure how to replace it. I'll think about it and try to come up with something until the deadline.

how about "osu!" or "go!" or something in kanji? that way it can look cool, be related to the source, and not have to mean anything to us folks what can't read them fancy moon runes

Well. . . made some simple design :D
for the size. . . .since it's vector, you can enlarge it to super big banner size if you want :P
oh. . .by the way

just asking for clarification. . .

For the :
"winners must provide 300+ DPI proofs"
Does the winner must provide the test print (hard proof),
or the winner can just provide the soft proofed image?

or maybe (sorry), you mean PPI? (the winner just give you final .ai files with layers), from what i read on older posts, some people mistook DPI for PPI

since you say DPI, i think it might have something to do with the printer. . .

sorry for my bad Grammar. . .









Anyway. . thanks to those who remembering me about the "mistake" :p
Edit: centered, thicker border

PS: thanks to those who pointed the mistakes for me
Kynan
Index-San's centered "Osu!" is awesome too !
I think it's better on a T-shirt to have the logo centered + catch phrase just under it like on the picture.
Great design !

Im still waiting for someone to actually interlace/scanline the osu lettering like the originals. Am I the only one that caught that?

No, I'm aware of the scanlines on the osu lettering but considering this will be on a shirt, I'm not sure if scanlines would be too fine of lines to be captured properly after the silkscreen process.

I like Index-San's design and I can see it being more of like a banner-type design. Shouldn't the white border of the osu! logo be a little thicker though? o.o

Doesn't have to be 1:1 with the original just noticeable. You can screen anything as long as its no finer than the screen itself and the textile its being applied to which is both an unknown but being even close to the threshold is far from what I call noticeable.
1 millimeter and up should be satisfactory, If not then they must be using burlap for screening these days XD

Maybe this will sound strange, but I think there's too much contrast in your design. Try out using a dark grey background against the white instead of pitch black. It will look a bit softer~

I'm new to this forum x3 I have to say, I absolutely adore Osu!
I've been meaning to do some fanart for it for a while, so what better excuse then to enter this comp :P?

So, here's my entry:



and how it would look on a t-shirt! I know the colour top I've chosen is very bold, but I wanted it to match the colours of the site. I'm not even sure if it would be possible to get a t-shirt in that colour x3 If I am chosen then hopefully I can find out what colours are available and do any colour tweaks so it looks lovely on all of them~ (I've tried the picture on a darker top briefly and it worked, but I might need to change the blue text to a lighter shade to make it show up.)




Hope you like them!

That looks amazing. But I bet it won't be easy to print.

@strawberrymoshi : You should put a fruit Ryuuta instead of pippi because many people don't like her look (I'm also part of those people ^^).
Plus it will put some CTB on the shirt because you already drawed some taiko + osu! logo but no CTB stuff...

Anyway great design but I won't buy it if there's pippi on it xD

Theowest: I didn't put boobs cause one of the official drawings I was using as ref didn't have any :3

I personally don't like Pippys look either, but it's the mascot, and there's a lot of entries already with just the logo, so I thought I'd opt for something a bit different.

I was going to put catch the beat stuff on as well, but I couldn't work out a way to incorporate it into the design, where it was as easy to recognise as the taiko's and didn't make the image look too cluttered. So I chose to leave it off :<


Also, who is Ryuuta? The only mascot I'm aware of is Pippy and her taiko form. ^^;

I wasn't being too serious. I don't mind flat chested girls.
awp
Pippi is flat when she's drawn as a 12 year old girl

because 12 year old girls are usually pretty flat

also, in some cases (like the chibi style used on the site, or in strawberry's design) it would just look awkward, because they are highly stylized and not anatomically accurate. Don't fret it too much.
