About my design

by eladear
Influenced from the Japanese dragon, a mythical creature of power and luck.



This is a hand-drawn design, dragon on the left sleeve and the additional flowers on the left-side of chest. On black hoody jacket or long-sleeve t-shirt as my initial suggestions.



I thought about adding a stick-on tattoo of this design--for a fun day out during the summer (glue it on your arm, if you want), but it would depend on Threadless's decision.



I hope you like it.

Threadless is not in the tattoo business.

Sorry, when I sent the submission I hadn't seen the missing cloud as is on original sketch and final design. There is a curvy cloud missing above the dragon's head. Slipped when I converted to gif.



PLEASE VIEW FULL DESIGN AND LARGER VIEW



Haha, I know Threadless isn't in the tattoo business, but sometimes accessories can be cool for certain prints. It is just a suggestion, an extra... it could be a sticker too... Threadless had wall stickers some time ago... it isn't obligatory of course.

I agree with eZ - like it better without the cloud, makes the head Pop more.

awesome layout though!

Depending on how many people prefer with or without the cloud, I can finalize design with that solution :) Thanks for the feedback.

does threadless actually do these things such as including tattoos, pens/markers, and stickers?

I've put the idea in the air. I don't know if it could be an option for some tees. Since some people collect tees, it would be fun to have a little extra if possible. But as I said at the beginning...it is a crazy suggestion, and Threadless does sell clothing which is obvious...it is up to them :)

Very cool! :) I am torn about the cloud thing. I kinda like having something up there for balance, although I like the the swirly shaped cloud by the dragon's chin better. LOL Also would love to see it in a different ink set, but its pretty this way too. :) Nice work!

The colors - I actually think they came out well. I wanted to use less conventional tattoo tones, colors that are currently trendy for clothing wear. So that was the influence and I actually made this design with guys and girls in mind. I don't see why it doesn't work for guys as theinfamousmatt states. Dragon's are usually manly and tattoo art has a lot of flowers...so I don't know why it would be girly, I see it as unisex.



If Threadless allows more than two tee colors, I can definitely work up a 2nd palette for it. Maybe that is an idea :)
