"Worn" T-Shirt Textures...

Ok, so I'll admit I'm a bit lazy. Does anyone have a good link to some nice "worn-looking" t-shirt textures? I found the actual t-shirt fabric texture one AND I found an earlier post [about the worn look] with a link to one, but the link doesn't work. Any help would be great. I understand if you don't want to though, with me being lazy and all. Thanks!

you mean a distressing filter? or a scan of an old t-shirt?

Scootman on Feb 04 '08 at 12:05pm

correct.
sorry, i could've been clearer. that's just what i call it.

ISABOA on Feb 04 '08 at 12:05pm

wait... - which one is correct?

if you post your e-mail, I can send you some distress filters saved as tiffs so you can change the color

Crumble up some paper and scan it
or take any other texture of the internet

If you nee done specifically -- take a picture
badabing badaboom

It's much more rewarding that way too.

just sent four. hope that helps

yeah - distressing filters are predictable -

I print the shirt myself - then drive over it - generally with several different terrains, dirt road, paved, gravel etc. then scan in and overlay -

thanks!

no problem dude, hope those help. Monkey made a good suggestion too. a crumpled piece of paper can do wonders for textures

I love vintage distressed art. It leaves the eye to recreate the whole picture. Before it was "aged"

He he.

I sketch/design/illustrate and come up with rather bizarre ideas. Most are unfinished, it's just what I do. It's how I work. I love coming up with anything to do with tentacles, tikis and eyeballs as you will see in my designs and such. Enjoy!
