<br />
It may just be me, but at one point scoring tees was set to a randomizer right?  Because now if you score a tee, no matter where in the queue that shirt was, for your next one you are taken to whatever the newest design is.<br />
<br />
Which I guess is cool, but it seems like it gives designs a lot of traffic on day oneâ€”and then they just fall off.  By day three your lucky if you get like 20 votes that day, not comments just votes.  Designs are finishing with vote #'s in the high 300's low 400's, but they're hitting around 200 on the 2nd day...<br />
<br />
Personally I liked it the way it was, you scored a tee and then the next one was just random, not whatever the most recent design up for scoring is.<br />
<br />
And I think it's deterred some people from voting, case in point earlier this week there was an onslaught of pin-up designs because the contest was ending, after scoring 50 sub par looking women I gave up, I got bored scoring Love's designs but I still wanted to score.<br />
<br />
<br />
You catch my drift?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.threadless.com/submission/403971/Hell_or_High_Water?streetteam=deep+space+monkey"><img src="http://www.threadless.com/subbanner/403971/banner1.png" width="220" height="119" border="0" alt="Hell or High Water - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Who doesn't love pin-ups, am I right?  The challenge is ending in a couple of days and I wasn't originally going to submit anything, but then the idea popped into my head and I had to roll with it.  Good start.<br />
<br />
But the hardest part about drawing a pin-up is getting your sexy lady just right, it's tough... I can draw jacked dudes with guns and trench coats all day long, but a curvaceous sultry dameâ€”well, that's a horse of a completely different color.  So I thought I'd lay it all out incase any of you out there in the 1's and 0's is interested.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>STEP 1: The Idea</b><br />
<br />
Pin-ups are a classic form of American art, from the front lines to the locker rooms, these babes practically scream stars and stripes.  So awesome, pin-ups are also often associated with tattoosâ€”double awesome.  In fact, the winning design is going to be reproduced as temporary tattoosâ€”even better.  So &quot;classic&quot; and &quot;tattoo&quot; are my terms, which made me immediately think of the groundbreaking artwork of tattoo pioneer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailor_Jerry">Sailor Jerry</a>.  Done and done.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>STEP 2: The Sketch</b><br />
<br />
This part is easier said than done.   Like I said before I can't draw women all that great(at least at first, it takes time and I have to draw her over and over again).  And I'm not looking to reinvent the wheel, so once again, I'm looking to the classics for inspiration.<br />
<br />
My reference for the pose is this classic WW2 piece:<br />
<img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o173/deepspacemonkey/0000-8504-4.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
A couple of years ago I made this personal piece using that pose as a reference:<br />
<img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o173/deepspacemonkey/BombsAway.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
From that, I went back into my files and dug up my original ink sketch:<br />
<img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o173/deepspacemonkey/original.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
Which I printed out in cyan, and messily sketched over and over, erasing and redrawing until I got my sketch the way I liked it:<br />
<img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o173/deepspacemonkey/sketch-1.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>STEP 3: Ink</b><br />
<br />
Next up I bust out my light box, some card stock and my black micron #8 so I can get some nice thick lines for that tattoo feel:<br />
<img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o173/deepspacemonkey/line-art.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
Then my type:<br />
<img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o173/deepspacemonkey/type.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>STEP 4: Photoshop</b><br />
<br />
Fire up the scanner, set her to 600 dpi, bring her into PS and let's color this gal in:<br />
<img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o173/deepspacemonkey/colored.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
Simplify the File, Add the Text, Adjust Colors, Distress &amp; Apply Halftones:<br />
<img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o173/deepspacemonkey/4-color.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
Do a 2-color version, because 2-color always pops:<br />
<img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o173/deepspacemonkey/2-color.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>STEP 5: Which One Should I Sub In????</b><br />
<br />
4 Color Classic:<br />
<img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o173/deepspacemonkey/4-color-placement.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
Or, the Two Color Version:<br />
<img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o173/deepspacemonkey/2-color-placement.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
<b>STEP 6: Get Feedback</b><br />
<br />
I worked on the boob and moved the text down (i don't have time to redraw the bum though, I have to sub this in so i can enjoy the rest of the long weekend!):<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o173/deepspacemonkey/new-boob.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
<img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o173/deepspacemonkey/new-boob-2-color.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
I also made the placement larger:<br />
<img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o173/deepspacemonkey/4-color-placement-1.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
<img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o173/deepspacemonkey/2-color-placement-1.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
<b>And Here are Some Detail Shots:</b><br />
<br />
<img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o173/deepspacemonkey/detail-1-3.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
<img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o173/deepspacemonkey/detail-2-4.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
