Collectables of the Future-Now Up!

(UPDATE II) This one's up now too! A bit different (and a bit more niche market!) to my other current sub HERE but thouht I'd try some different things. Oh, and just to clarify, all the components are original works, created by me, in case there was any confusion

(UPDATE) Right, now it's subbed, I challenge you to identify all the sci-fi references included in this design. You can't really see the detail in the low res version, so I've posted big versions of all (or most) of the elements). Some of the things are just random and made up, but I count at least ten references, some obvious, some a bit obscure. If you can get them all, I'll send you a t-shirt should any of my designs ever get printed!

Collectables of the Future - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

Thanks to iDan for the use of his ever faithful frame

This is the design

By he wayIt does use some very small white dots- not sure how small threadless can go generally, so might need a simulated process...

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 04 '08 at 12:46pm

*By the way

Torakamikaze on Jan 04 '08 at 12:50pm

oh man, this is awesome

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 04 '08 at 12:53pm

I'm wishing now that it had a sandwichrocket on it...

baron von monkey?

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 04 '08 at 12:55pm

yes?

shirtflirt on Jan 04 '08 at 12:55pm

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 04 '08 at 12:58pm

Well hello!

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 04 '08 at 1:40pm

Ok, new question, I've just posted at the top what the threadless presentation would look like- do you think it's clear enough what's going on from the size etc- having drawn all the bits it's hard to look objectively at it
Advice very much appreciated

shirtflirt on Jan 04 '08 at 1:42pm

i think the individual pieces help out the overall presnetation.
it's never bad to show off your work if your proud of it!

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 04 '08 at 1:51pm

Thanks, I'm gonna try and work in a bit of close up without making it too cluttered- but I'll make sure I link to the hi-res details in the blog when I sub it

shirtflirt on Jan 04 '08 at 2:03pm

sweet as bro.

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 04 '08 at 2:30pm

I subbed it! Managed to fit in a cigarette card behing iDan's head. Many thanks for your advice, sir!

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 04 '08 at 3:35pm

Ok, now it's subbed you have to play the 'Spot the reference' game! You can start with the reference in this blog title

welshalex on Jan 04 '08 at 3:44pm

Erm....Mongo is a planet from Flash Gordon.
Did I spot one? Am I playing right?

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 04 '08 at 3:46pm

Good work

hitchhikers guide to the galaxy reference with the restaurant at the end of the universe part

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 04 '08 at 3:53pm

Yep, that one was pretty easy

welshalex on Jan 04 '08 at 3:53pm

Is the top one a Robby the Robot stone henge featuring yoda playing panpipes stolen from the satyr from Buck Rogers?

welshalex on Jan 04 '08 at 3:54pm

Spice mines of kessel is star wars.

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 04 '08 at 3:54pm

Yes. Yes it is. But that was easy too.

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 04 '08 at 3:55pm

that comment was a response to Robby BTW

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 04 '08 at 4:13pm

Anyone else?

imnathan on Jan 04 '08 at 5:10pm

i spy xenu

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 04 '08 at 5:40pm

Hell yeah, scientologists beware!

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 04 '08 at 5:52pm

Some friends of mine wrote a musical called "XENU IS LOOSE!:Cower Puny Humans as the Galactic Overlord Rains Nuclear Death Upon Your Planet", which was the longest title in the history of the Edinburgh festival, and also led to the festival being boycotted by scientologists.
It was rubbish.

I watched c-beams glitter... Batty! lol

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 05 '08 at 2:45am

Truly great work wow!
What's the font of the tannhauser gate?

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 14 '08 at 10:04am

Thanks monkey! This one was a bit of a failure, but I think I might rework some of the elements into another design if you have any suggestions. I've been making stickers of them though, which look pretty cool, and which you can stick on your suitcase to give the impression you've been on glamorous voyages among the stars.

The tannhauser font is, I think, circus ornate

BaronVonMonkey on Jan 16 '08 at 7:45am

Thought I'd bump this, because I haven't been, and because it ends today. I half expected it to be dropped early, but it hasn't, though I'm expecting a fairly abysmal score! Ah well, for every success there is an equal and opposite failure...
