Curtis

It's a little later than planned (busy weekend), but I managed to finish and upload my new design today.

 
I wanted to do something a little different from my usual style; it's always good to be diverse in what you do and step outside of your comfort zone. I enjoyed doing the design, and I actually learned a vouple of things along the way, so that's always a bonus.

Decided to go with a different approach this time and go with stickers, IP cases and, for the first time, a poster. I tried it as a t-shirt but I wasn't really happy with how it looked; the file has to convert to CMYK when you upload it, so it loses alot of the vibrancy that the other products keep, and I think it kinda killed it for me as a tee, which is a shame. Still, i'm pretty happy with these. I made a bit of a meal of the shadows on the letters at first, but I figured out a much more sensible and faster way of doing it, which helped sped the process up a bit.

I've still got quite a few unfinished designs sitting on the computer which I think I may try and complete next, but I do have new ideas that I want to try out too. Either way, i'm going to be putting in a lot more effort from now on, both in terms of designs and this blog too. Expect much more regular updates from now on.

New design preview

As promised, here's a quick preview of the tee that I'm currently working on. Bear in mind that even this preview isn't quite done yet; it needs some tidying and further adjustment yet. I'm still hoping to get the tee done and uploaded by the weekend, but I'm gonna be pretty busy with work and other things in the meantime, so it may be a little late. We'll have to wait and see.

New design coming...at last

Lol, I haven't posted in over a month, oh well
To be fair I have actually been working, but even so, I really need to stop procrastinating with this so much

Anyway, just a quick post to say that i'm working on a new t-shirt. Started it the other day, it's a little different to my usual style but it's good to mix stuff up once in a while. Shouldn't take too long to do, so hopefully it'll be up by the weekend (I mean it this time).

I'll post a little preview of it later when I get back from work
