You know, I REALLY love this, but I wish there were more color options as I
am not prone to wearing pink/magenta. The illustration is fantastic and
the stylization is wonderful! 4! (Thanks for the enlargement by the way...it
made all the difference!)

I like the pink. It's eye catching and romantic. This t-shirt should be made for girls' sizes too. I think the centering of the art is sort of passe. Maybe if it was off-center it would make more of a statement.

This is kick arse. I love the soft watercolour feel to it. Awesome work. A 5 from me.

I'd like to see this as a cream image on a red shirt. Not sure why, really. Just would. Nice though!
Lacey
   Lacey on Aug 19 '03
Interesting! I thought it looked strange reversed out, but I might try that sometime. Thanks you guys.

I really like the painterly watercolor quality of this design, elegant. I ‘m not a big fan of cream though, but I just might buy it. 5.

Well done. There's something sinister about the magenta, and the modulation of color is phenomenal. Where do i sign?

How will you get this watercolor effect on a 4 colors t-shirt ?
Lacey
   Lacey on Aug 20 '03
I call it "analog art." :)

Seriously, I did in full-color watercolor (see website image that I linked above for the original version, not up for voting), scanned it in and monotoned it in p-shop. It is a one-color image for the tshirt design.

yeah i like this alot but i don't know if it will be able to be printed, which is a shame because it is nice.
Jesse Glen
Jesse Glen on Aug 20 '03
There shouldn't be any problems, as Lacey has already mentioned it is only a one colour shirt (monotone). It uses one colour, in different percentages of transparency (halftones).
Lacey
   Lacey on Aug 20 '03
I think I see your concern: it's not solid lines like many of the other vector images, but it will translate fine onto a screen. The halftones will take care of it.

capitalJ on Aug 20 '03
im sorry to rain on a parade but i dont think threadless does halftone print
if you notice in the print section nothing printed has ever had halftones implemented

quite delicate and fierce at the same time. i really like the skull. the skull is such popular icon;it's nice to see one that is so distinctive

I'd like to see my girl wearing this. Good looking shirt!
Lacey
   Lacey on Aug 20 '03
I double checked my design, and it's actually duotone (pink and red), not monotone. I'm in this for the fun, in any case.

Again, great design, however.......Seriously for like the 10th time....FOLLOW THE THREADLESS REQUIREMENTS FOR PRINTING...PLEASE! I LOVE your design, however, unless we are going to turn this forum into the "vote for great designs that CAN or CANT be printed by Threadless" then lets all stick to the rules. There are many of us that would LOVE to flex our full color skills, however we must all follow the requirements for submissions so we dont waste the time of the others on the forum and take this forum away from actually voting on shirts that can be printed. KUDOS, you are a great artist I am giving this a 5; but understand that I too wish I could submit some of my full color Raster art to Threadless, that would change the game greatly. However I will spare the forum as THE WONT BE ABLE TO BE PRINTED. Others, please tell me if I am far off here. I just think that we can either have a forum that votes on shirts that Threadless can actually print, or we can have a "favorite art piece" forum where everyone starts submitting full color photographs because they think that threadless can print them. I love your work Lacey, and I ope that VERY SOON threadless starts to print shirts without the color requirements, but until they do, I cant wait to see a 4 color version of your design so I can click on the "I'd but this" button before I click the much deserved "5" rating for your beautiful work.

preshaa on Aug 22 '03
Err, yes you could print this. As mentioned above it's duotone so the number of colours is no problem and so long as there's a decent 300dpi version I see no problem in reducing this down to halftone screens...

Having said that, nice skull but it's just not really my bag.
preshaa
preshaa on Aug 22 '03
It might look quite nice with a slightly coarser treatment too...
Lacey
   Lacey on Aug 22 '03
Du--your comments are well-recieved and I understand what you are saying. However, I did read the submission guidelines, and they did say I could design this in a raster program. I turned the image into a dutone image so it could be printed. I also double checked this with a screen printer to be sure, and it can be printed. Whether or not Threadless will want to print it is up to them (as it is different than the vector images they usually do), but like I said before, I am in this for the fun. Thanks for your comments, though!

Sounds good, my deepest apologies, I cant wait to see it on a shirt.

I'm usually not a skull girl, but this design is awesome. I hope Threadless prints it, cause I'd want it.
