Proof I posted my t-shirt design to Threadless. Eat your heart out, Ms. Thompson.


I got comments! :D
dunno if they're readable like this, but oh well.

I made a T-shirt!

Yet another project we were assigned was to make a T-shirt design  for Threadless.com. I didn't have many ideas based on the prompt, so I just went with my gut and made this design for Threadless' general submissions.
I learned that contests can be very picky,and coming up with minimalistic ideas based on a theme is tough. The major difficulty with this project was making sure the design and thumbnail adhered to Threadless' size requirements. Why do they have to have so many little requirements?!?
Below is the finished T-shirt. (Only comes in white)

Portrait!



This project was a portrait with the Android Jones Creative brush workshop. Instead of a self portrait, I chose to make one of my original characters. an android named Metanine, the subject of the portrait.

I learned more about the importance of composition while doing this project. The most difficult part was making the face appear three-dimensional with shading and highlights. I wanted Metanine's face to appear youthful and bright, but the heavy shadows around the eyes made her appear scary and older. Playing with the various shape patterns was fun, so I used a lot of those shape patterns for the background. I also made a pattern that resembled a section of binary code. (It probably cant's be seen unless you go into detail.)
