I use templates from Threadless, as they provide me with more colors and a better look at what the design would look like on a tee. The templates are available here!

here's more ideas that I myself cannot design

it's up to you (the designers) to make this look better. Which one do you think is the best?

I really like the modder/mapper one. Maybe have a cursor over the hitcircle too?

Sloppy handwriting due to stress. I was in a hurry.

real men wear pink

Actually, real men traditionally wear red. Pink, being a weaker version of the passionate red, was for boys. And blue, as the cooler emotional colour, was for women... light blue, as a colour of purity (and associated with the Virgin Mary), was for girls. Sometime last century (which is within living memory, talk to enough old people and you'll hear stories of this... you can also see references to this by going through magazine archives from the early 20th century), the associations for pink and blue got switched. Of course, this is also limiting things to modern western culture... things vary quite a bit across the world as well as through time. The point being, that there really isn't any gender significance in colours beyond what you put there yourself.

This is my design, all done by myself. I love TLOZ games so that's why I did this crossover.
Also, thanks Doodley. That tshirt template is awesome. I used spoilerboxes because the drawing size is.. very big.

Selling fanart drawn by yourself is illegal? I'm not sure about that. You are not claiming the character is yours, nor the game series. You are claiming the drawing is yours. Correct me if I am wrong, but that's my logic?

Snepif wrote:

@the above post. That would mean it is legal and ok to sell that t-shirt? lol

Please do NOT put your design on a photo of a t-shirt. Provide the actual raw artwork.

Submissions can be any resolution, but winners must provide 300+ DPI proofs (.ai or a similar vector format preferred)

Keep in mind that you can't use huge colour gamuts when printing on shirts.

Please do NOT use spoiler tags.

Please do NOT quote other people's images.

Please do fix your previous posts with this in mind.

Keep in mind that you can't use huge colour gamuts when printing on shirts. The fewer colours, the better. Also keep in mind fine line artwork will not print well (and the lines may be indiscernible from each other).

Also please keep comments on other people's designs from this thread. We will begin to delete these just to keep things in order.

Ummm... unless I missed something? The T'shirt bit was just to show its best contrast color and to give better reference of look which you cant get from just an image and a raw as a submission wasn't a requirement...

Not true this depends on the method of transfer. If the business does their job right that should never be an issue.

If the image is stock spoilers should stop a potential 20mb+ png from loading until its clicked, I dont wanna see what a full page of 20mb images is like loading all at once XD

I've got one design for you right now.

This design is supposed to be as informational as possible. It shows off the osu! logo, hit circles, slogan, and even the website URL, all in a super pink palette that looks best on three different colors of tees! All of it is at an extremely high resolution.

I believe it's important to present the website URL, as anyone who sees your tee will be able to know just what to do to get more information!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24237779/design2.png
The design itself, at a super high resolution with transparency. The logo and hit circles are all made to look as if they are at an angle, and popping out.

The design can use two pink colors, a dark reddish pink and a white.

This looks best on a bright blue tee.

I may return later with another design.

Do you know the printing resolution that we have to work with?
As in, the minimum distance that can be between two lines for them to be discernible, or the minimum line thickness?

Right now, I'm going to say Horizontal: 2100 x 1800 pixels (14" x 12") and Vertical: 1800 x 2100 pixels (12" x 14") for T-Shirts (these are maximum resolutions for the site I am looking in to). That's 150 ppi. Of course, higher resolutions can be presented, just as of now, assume they will be down scaled.

If you aren't sure what ppi is, click here.

jedric wrote:

is it possible to just draw it? like, draw a shirt with the design drawn on it? or does it have to be just the design?

Daru wrote:

It would've affected the drawing I'm doing if you guys had already chosen a printing company and, for example, a distance of 1mm between lines could not be resolved. If it's still up in the air, I'll just continue as-is and correct for things like that after the fact if the issue arises.

pippi's hair is pretty crap tbh. it's just that one bad haircut ruining the character.

Another complaint I have about pippi is that she dresses like a slut.

imo she should be kept out of the t-shirt designs

awp wrote:

I do think that if she's being included in the design, it should integrate well - like she was meant to be there, and not just kind of tacked on.

RBRat3 wrote:

As for the top... MMMmmm I love thick thighs, needs more ass or thin her abdomen

Skyripper wrote:

I agree with this. I also think my design needs more work based on that. It lacks balance.

theowest wrote:

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.

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

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

I actually really like this one. I'd wear this if the osu! logo were a 9 lol

Yukikaze Panettone still best design.

Urukins wrote:

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 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
