About my design

by keithcw
Re-live the glory days of the airship!



In this design we find No. 3, crowd favorite, edging out the nefarious No.11. Two officiators look on, ready to declare a winner. Who will prove themselves the victor?



This one is sure to set the telegraph wires ablaze!

I presume the final art would look like the shirt, not like the repeating design background? You have some marvelous details in this illustration, but technically, the gondola is too far forward.



Here's some reference if you are willing to update this.

Thanks for the kind words! You're right, it would appear as printed on the shirt. The repeating background is to show both the whole design and an excerpt of the detail.



I was going for more of the Graf Zeppelin look:

Although having said that, it's far from a technical illustration!

Wow. I love this design but I wish I could be sure where it would fall on personal zeppelins...worth the chance, I think. $5!

hahaha @keter... was considering the same problem... keith, she's talking about the placement on a girl's chest... but I agree, worth the chance! $5
