New idea I had this morning that I had to instantly stop what I was doing to illustrate. What do you think? Also, black and white or color version?

fat pigeon on Aug 17 '11 at 1:17pm

Hahaha, I love it. I think it looks best in grayscale.

Resistance on Aug 17 '11 at 1:17pm

non-color version looks good.

FRICKINAWESOME on Aug 17 '11 at 1:29pm

Grayscale, and it's awesome.

Twiggyhall on Aug 17 '11 at 1:30pm

Ha! Good stuff :)

I actually like it best with the color, lol, but the greyscale is awesome, too

ibeenthere on Aug 17 '11 at 1:57pm

lol:) this is a funny idea!
i actually think if you do it in vector style, clean and cartoony it'll work much better:)
this has great potential:)

Ian Leino on Aug 17 '11 at 2:13pm

Yeah, that's my other question. It's not a style that I've used before, but I feel like the rough sketchy look works with the idea - what do you all think?

Should I sub it like this, or would it have a better shot with a cleaner, vector cartoon look?

kathleenisradical on Aug 17 '11 at 2:22pm

I like the colored one too!
One question, are the words and speech bubbles getting less and less crisp or is it just me?

Kookaberry on Aug 17 '11 at 2:26pm

That's the point of the shirt, that copies degrade each time. I like the sketchy style and I like the color but the greyscale is good, too.

bortwein on Aug 17 '11 at 2:34pm

loving this.

craquehaus on Aug 17 '11 at 2:37pm

Yes.

FRICKINAWESOME on Aug 17 '11 at 3:52pm

Yeah, vector might work too, but I like the sketchy style to make more of a point of the copying word being degraded.

I also think the grayscale works best because most places still use black and white copiers, don't they?

Ian Leino on Aug 17 '11 at 4:01pm

Those are exactly the reasons I made it sketchy and b/w first, but then I started second guessing myself and adding color and thinking of reworking it. Nice to be re-affirmed that I was on the right track to start with! Thanks!

Twiggyhall on Aug 17 '11 at 4:15pm

I like it just the way it is :)

Ian Leino on Aug 17 '11 at 8:41pm

Great, thanks for the feedback everyone! I think I'm going to sub the gray version as is. Woohoo!

TheInfamousBaka on Aug 17 '11 at 8:58pm

Glad you're subbing the grey version, it's my favorite of the two. :-3 This is an awesome idea and a great design.

Adhesive Hippo on Aug 17 '11 at 9:10pm

Nicely done. Grey version for sure, great stuff

Ellsswhere on Aug 18 '11 at 7:53am

grayscale and i fudgin love the gradual degradation within the text, you should print it out high quality and find the cheapest copier you can and copy the illustration then use that as the final image

queenmob on Aug 18 '11 at 8:26am

Bahaha, super funny. Really amazing. Also have to say: greyscale. I think this might be a print.

mirisch on Aug 18 '11 at 8:27am

Such a great idea!! I like the non-colour-version best!

olkazavr on Aug 18 '11 at 9:19am

I guess grayscale, nice idea.

The Paper Crane on Aug 18 '11 at 9:23am

Great fun
no colour needed
:)

Ian Leino on Aug 18 '11 at 10:42am

OK, made some slight changes to fix some composition issues and make everything a little easier to see. I think this bad boy is ready to sub! What do you think?

queenmob on Aug 18 '11 at 10:56am

I like that the font gets washed out at the end. Nice job.

mullmuggins on Aug 18 '11 at 11:02am

Love this! So awesome. Print, for sure! :)
