Not much there, but it's a start.

Pantone essentials plus:



BTW: The more I see the weak gamut in CMYK printing, the more I feel like only using spot colors. I'd like to print a 4-color process with the neons (to simulate process) and see what it looks like.

I love bright, saturated colors!

Canon Rebel XS


any opinions, suggestions?

This one is within a price range I'm willing to pay. It's not just a point and shoot. I remember photography in school, I loved it and was good at it.

The in-stock RSS feed? I was just reloading my community sub, and whoops, this other thing loaded into the browser instead.

COMMUNITY CASTLE SUBMISSION! DRAW A SPIRE!

What's a spire?

It can have dragons, damsels, robots, consist of fishes or bikes or melons or whatever. Make a spire and make it interesting! NO PENISES.

I will accept the first 30 Submissions! Draw a spire, so that this castle will become a huge, hulking monstrosity that will climb all the way up the front of the shirt. I will continue to add stuff to make the spires fit together.

(I just reduced the number of available spots, because I don't think 50 will fit; if you disagree, let me know.)

---

Below is the palette to use. 8 colors plus white for the shirt.

Please note that red is for accents only. You can use gradients but make sure you are using illustrator and set your colors exactly like below, and only use spot colors. (It would be a nightmare to fix a million color swatches.)

Using the dark grey as outlines will help me piece the spires together, but is not mandatory.

Download the swatch set.

Good luck and let's make this a beast!
