This started with a fractal I generated using Aphophysis, that I hand-traced and detailed in Inkscape.

I plan a series of elemental designs that show respect the history of magickal traditions. This is the first of this series, and is also my first submission to Threadless. I hope you like it.

I don't have Flash, so I'm limited to static output, sorry. To see a larger version with more detail, please click here.

yay apophysis, great programme
maybe something more interesting could have been done with the writing at the bottom

Oops, the "writing on the bottom" isn't actually meant to be part of the design.

Or the color bar. ;o)

I stand by my original remark, that I would rather just see as much of the image as possible in a zoomed in state. However, I still like it.
3+

Interesting
I wonder how well the shirt can pick up the intricancies of the pattern. Good luck

I agree Keter.

I like shirts without lettering/words. D:



5/5.

I can't wait to see the rest of your series. :)

Cool. Love the detail and nothing to read. I'D BUY IT!
5$

That's really neat. My brother would love it!!

@Nevvie - I am not the quickest artist, but they're coming. Water is already in production.

@ Rosemoo - the .gif was just too jagged (due to the details looking like fat pixels) to show the whole thing well. I tried, I just didn't have the jedi flash skills. ;o)

@ kurt bayne - I asked in the forums if anyone knew what the minimum element size could be and apparently no one knew. Nothing I could find on the Threadless site gave technical info about the resolution they can achieve. My husband does screen printing as a hobby, so he could have told me if I had been able to get even a screen number. *shrug* If this design is picked, I guess I'm gonna find out! ;o)

I just noticed that my link above got jiggered up somehow...try the one below for a larger view - you may have to scroll down on the page a little. The first image you see is the final version:

Wow, that really looks great!

Great detail here......a good T for the fire-twirlers! $5

i really think this should be a print, thought I wouldn't buy it personally. looks great

really beautiful, I love the detail!

Thanks! :#)

nice

Interesting idea about the 'zoomed state', but this is great anyway! I love fire!
$4

wow I love the colors and the detail. Nice Job Keter.

LOVE this... I am definitely pumped to see the others in the series. $5

@ madruga - how would you have done it sans Flash?

if you're asking about presentation, i would have had three images, one of the full image taking up most of the space, a very small tee to show placement and one small close up to show detail. i don't use flash either.

Great and effective colours!

@ lajlaj - thanks for the tip; maybe the next one will work better using this approach. Due to the low resolution of the required template (72 dpi), I was having problems with pixelation with this one, even at "full size." The next design will have more swooshes and fewer dots, so less problem with pixelation!

@ everybody else - thanks for your kind comments! :o)

Thanks for the zoomed in link and clarifying that the text is not to be on the shirt. Interesting design.

nice ornament :)

really beautiful $5 cant wat to buy it and see the rest of your series

the style is nice, but the whole element thing is not working for me. sorry

i think the design should be higher up on the shirt...nice 4

That is nice it looks a little caribbean, Good movement & composition

how do i make my designs good?

ok i redid the acorn design check it out now.

Keter - good stuff man. Lots of life here.

Love the composition on this one. :)

I don't like this design and the text fire elemental is too much on the tee!
