T-shirt Illustration

[Dongerz]

Here is a rendition of the US Marine Corp EGA logo in illustration style. I included the initial sketch and the finished tee mockup. Let me know what yu guys think. Thanks

Looks cool, any way we could see a larger picture of the final t-shirt?

it's nice - I'd say some of the line work on the left wing could use some work...it's a little flat compared to the rest of the piece.

I'm also not too sure about the stuff at the bottom. I think it might be better if the logo was bigger and you dropped the other stuff Just my opinion, though. Still very nice!

I think it looks very trendy, I could see this selling very well. I agree about the left wing but other than that it's awesome!

[jecrt]

have you sold it already? Or is it portfolio work?

[Dongerz]

Thanks for the critiques all of you. I'll try and be more consistent with the overall shading. I am a graphic designer first and illustrator second. Due to the fact that my clients are always pinching for time(and money) I tend to let up when a design is good enough for the clients eyes. Bad habit I need to break although I did shade the inner wing at the second stage. I included a better file of the finished tee applied to a stone blue tee. Anyway, also thanks for the kudos! Yes, the design is sold. Just finalizing the details. This design is meant to go along with the current t-shirt trend here in the states so I think the peripheral stuff is necessary for the complete look. I didn't want to go too big with the logo because it's already meant to be just an oversized left chest and didn't want to risk it being too gaudy. Anyway, thanks again for your comments.

Hey Dongerz - yeah, I'm in the states, too. I'm assuming you're playing on the MMA/Affliction/tattoo-style trend. It just seems a little more smoky and a little less linework/tattoo style, that's why I suggested it. It's really just a nitpick, though.

The wing is better with the heavier shading, but it's really the line on the outside that I was talking about. I think the heavier shading moves your eye away from it, but - again, a nitpick - the lines for the feathers on that left wing are a little plain. I don't know how familiar you are with a lot of tshirt designers, but Jimi Benedict (jimiyo) does an incredible job with feather/linework. Check out this piece to see what I'm talking about:


overall, it's still a nice shirt, though! Where will it be going up for sale?

Very nice! I am always impressed by super complicated screen printing designs. Well done guys.
