The Eraser - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More

PROCESS

STEP ONE: concept
Eraser_thumbnail
Original concept sketch in my sketchbook

STEP TWO: research


I had an idea of those old vintage horror posters in my head but I wanted to check out what they really lloked like to get more ideas. In fact I posted a blog with a lot of the awesome ones I found here.

STEP THREE: large mock up
Eraser_sketch
Now I drew everything out full size. Putting in as much detail as I could. However, as lots of changes were made I had to draw it again for my final that I would scan.

STEP FOUR: final drawing
Eraser_final
I lightboxed the initial sketch and then went it with a lot more detail and shading. When it was finished I took an eraser to the bottom portion.

eraser_closeup
closeup view of linework.

STEP FIVE: take the eraser picture
Eraser_eraser
I took a bunch of macro pictures of erasers. I used a bent paperclip to keep them upright because I new I would be Photoshopping it out later. The eraser dust I just threw on my scanner and scanned.

STEP SIX:
The last step was adding the tagline on. I hand did the text and scanned it in (only because I couldn't make a decision on what I wanted it to say when I did the original drawing).

STEP SEVEN: submit & vote
I put it all together in Photoshop and submitted it! Now you can vote :)




THANKS for all your suggestions!

I hope I can pull it off. I got the idea the last day of Horror II and I knew there was no way I could do it right...so I've been slowly working on it now...

Yeah the shirt!!

i can't remember it all, but basically it's a true story:



I bought it for him and he showed his ex-girlfriend and said ' it glows in the dark isn't that cool?'

and she went 'no. how is that cool?' cos she was a miserable bitch.



He goes on to explain how it is the coolest thing ever and she is stupid.



but y'know it actually is really funny when he does it, despite how i just explained it.



Oh yeah and when he first did the bit and described the shirt, people in the audience were like' That's a threadless tee!!'



it's famous!!

Keep in mind this is a pretty close up picture and it's bigger on your screen than it is in real life. I've notice that the dude's hand on the right looks all kinds of weird and one of his eyes is way squintier than the other....



Buy thanks for the props, guys! :)

Your tagline is great.



I can't think of any others right now.
Chengui
   Chengui on Sep 25 '09 at 12:00am
Oooh. What about...



"One mistake will rub us out"



although maybe that sounds vaguely sexual....
Outlaw01
Outlaw01 on Sep 25 '09 at 12:01am

He doesn't know where to draw the line

He doesn't draw the line he removes it
Chengui
   Chengui on Sep 25 '09 at 12:19am
Oooo. I like those Rossmat...except it makes "him" sound less fierce and more confused.
SuperRyan
SuperRyan on Sep 25 '09 at 12:24am
The line won't be crossed...

It'll be ERASED!
Chengui
   Chengui on Sep 25 '09 at 8:24am
That's a good one too....tonight I think I'll try to mock it up with some different ones and see how they fit.

   FRICKINAWESOME on Sep 25 '09 at 9:14am
So funny man, love it!



Is that Matt Damon with the giant pencil?



Stupid tagline:



I'm Rubber, and You're Doomed.



Chengui
   Chengui on Sep 25 '09 at 9:16am
Definitely keeping it in pencil Ben, in fact after I get the tagline sorted out I'll be subbing it pretty much as is.



haha @ Matt Damon :D

TheInfamousBaka on Sep 25 '09 at 9:55am
This is killer! I really love it. :) Definitely worth the work you put into it, that's for sure.



I really like your tagline the most. :)

"You've made your last mistake"
Chengui
   Chengui on Sep 25 '09 at 9:56am
I was also considering...



"One mistake and you're dust"
Chengui
   Chengui on Sep 25 '09 at 1:29pm
Any other suggestions?
