Cart the mystery of mission 5
About the design
lots of inspirations come to mind-
'Major Tom' by Bowie is definately one of them.
-in fact, if it wasn't so long, I'd have titled this 'Tell my wife I love her very much- SHE KNOWS!'--- or if it weren't for legalities, even simply ''can you hear me major Tom?' any line from the song would work.
but this isn't Bowie's story.
i don't know if the spaceman stared too closely at the sun, if he saw the face of God, if space radiation melted his brain, if he was shot by an alien beam...who knows, but something went terribly wrong.
make your own story.
the '5' is just a handbrushed, scanned and halftoned element that sort of follows the contorted figure and mirrors the vapor trail. Whatever shirt color is printed, it should be just a few steps darker than the shirt.
I figure it is also a testiment to this astronaut's mission number.
I will readily admit that for the most part, the space man is clip art from my personal collection of outdated copyright free material. It has been changed several ways: color, added highlights, position, and facial alteration.
The 5 is all my inkwork.
the vapor is all my inkwork.
the face, highlights, colorscheme and overall composition are all my doing.
I could have easily drawn my own spaceman, but I just loved the style of the era this was drawn in, and the death of that era is what i am mourning in this design.
I prefer central chest shirt designs, but this also works in lower left or right positions as well.

Yeah, you knew this would strike a chord with me, got to buy this one!
franx
very nice!
injosh
Tight!
I think it could be cool in the upper right corner, about 6x4, like a sports shirt.
Maybe on a light baby blue, a little lighter than the spaceman.
Good Work!
5'n'$
southworth
injosh, I will fight you gay assclown. Baby blue is for the gays. Dark blue or nothing, douchecake!

5$
injosh
um... ok.
travis76
yeah dark blue. because the pont is that everything gets progressively lighter up to the point of the plasma burst...if it was on a light blue tee, i think the vapor trail would lose effect.
i don't know what i was thinking w/brown, other than complemetary....denim is probably better. and i'm open to placement.
i'm thinkng lower left or right would work here too.
southworth
See? Nyah. Also, way to make me look like a belligerent assknuckle, Josh.

Man, all these awesome rev shirts just put the other crap to shame. I hope all these make people think twice before submitting something. This shirt is awesome, flat out awesome. I don't know what else to say.
joysizzle
It's called "Space Oddity" :)

travis76
yeah, i know, i just always end up calling songs by the chorus...it's a bad habit.
stickymike
nicely done travis, I dont really like dark shirts, but I would have to make an exception, this is twisted, and I totally dig it
injosh
You could make a trail of spiders flowing out with the plasma burst and call it
"Spiders From Mars"
the bad ideas
i like nice nice work $4
LoveMeElectric
Having recently scored a couple of your submissions, I must say I like how the designs are modeled by cool little cartoon people.
And I like astronauts.
Amada
Why do artists put those stupid drawings of people wearing their junk? This is cool. But it's not cool with that.
WEContact
To display how it would look on a T-shirt.
Southworth + injosh = Massive Belly Laugh. My day is made.
This thing gets a 5. Goodness gracious, travis.
MysteriousPete
bad ass travis.
