[Process] Halt! Who Goes There?
Thanks to everyone who voted for this design! Thanks to Threadless for printing as well!

It has also been accepted into this show:

Society of Illustrators LA 46 (Advertising)



Some of you may be interested in seeing the process for this finished design:

First up is the original sketch in thumbnail form.
box of ideas

The next step was to find some reference for the castle and dog. I altered the boy, but this version always reminded me of a young Rich Eisen from ESPN so it would change again.

castle-comp

The final image was drawn over the scanned sketch from above in Photoshop with a wacom tablet. The color scheme developed as a result of the "purple reign" alumni group subs which required a purple shirt or strong use of purple .

Halt!

Anyway, hope everyone who purchases one has a lot of fun being a kid again.
Thanks,
-Steve

I am so over the moon that this won. I just purchased it and it will look good in my drawer along with my Secret Lives of Luggage tee. =)

Congrats castle! It's so difficult to find a purple shirt that looks good and this just hits right on the nail!



Now, if only threadless can get my order quickly to me...hmm

I'm about to purchase this one, which will be my first on the site. It is simple really. However, when I look at it I remember my youth, among other things and all of which make me smile. Thanks for your submission.
