Hello!! I know it's late but I'm interested in participating. However, I was wondering... is it acceptable to have the DeviantArt logo included on your shirt? I noticed that one of the example t-shirts had it and need to know before I submit. Also, should our deviation be transparent, or does it matter. Thanks!!

If you can please don't add the DA logo on the shirt. The example shirt on the journal was just an example. Do whatever you wish on your entry so long as it follows the rules. You don't have a lot of time in submitting your entry. If you like we can extend the contest at least another 2 days.

I would like to enter, and would also like to ask a few questions. 

1. Would you like the full design submitted, or should we alter it to fit on the T-Shirt template? 
2. Are there going to be multiple T-Shirt color options, or are we keeping it to just white? (It will affect how/which colors I'll use )
3. Is there a color 'limit' on the printed shirts? I remember that some T-Shirt printers have difficulty/inconvenience printing large variations of color on a single design, so I was wondering if I should stick to simpler shading techniques, like cell shading.

Thank you, and best of luck to everyone! I'm excited to see the other entries.

May-Li128 In reply to MichaelArchangelus [2015-01-19 02:57:20 +0000 UTC]

We'll add you to the list
1. Something like this is recommended  Frog Dragon Shirt Design Contest Entry . You can make it what ever you want it to look so as long as you have the template and a full look of the design.

2.Yes. There's going to be a full color option that any way shouldn't effect your design.

3.You may add as many colors as you want to the design so as long their coherent. There's no limit. Have tested the printer I own and it works with multiple color variations.

MichaelArchangelus In reply to May-Li128 [2015-01-19 09:35:02 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for answering my questions, but just to clarify

For Q2, I meant to ask if there are multiple colors of T-Shirts that the design will be printed on. Like, will you be printing the designs on only white T-Shirts, or will the buyers have other color options to choose from? Thanks again

May-Li128 In reply to MichaelArchangelus [2015-01-20 07:48:18 +0000 UTC]

i wanted to know if the design itself must be monolite (like no alone small details around like brush splashes)? are the symbols and and traditional technique allowed?
also, hope the polls and judging will be done good enough without any misunderstanding or cheating... (like previous time :/)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

May-Li128 In reply to Drerika [2015-01-17 04:04:12 +0000 UTC]

No monolite please. You may use traditional work if you want so as long as the drawing is in good quality. Don't worry we'll make sure such event won't transpire. Where're guessing that your entering?

Drerika In reply to May-Li128 [2015-01-17 09:12:59 +0000 UTC]

yes ^^
also, how to know that the design won't fall over somewhere else to use if we aren't allowed to include text (for example i'd like to include my small username and year somewhere... )?

If your worried that someone may steal it, don't worry. You may add a small signature or anything small in the drawings. Also a watermark would be most acceptable.

-Just kind of curious how it's all gonna break down, so I'mma ask a few technical questions if that's cool.

What sort of platform are the shirts going to be sold on? Etsy, or Zazzle, or something?
Is all the money for the shirt sales (minus base material & shipping costs, obviously ) going directly toward the group? Or only a certain percentage (like, does someone earn royalties on one or more of the shirts, or something)?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

May-Li128 In reply to Arboris-Silvestre [2015-01-08 17:50:03 +0000 UTC]

The shirts are going to be sold on Etsy and each will go for 15$. 30% of the proceeds will go toward contest, projects, and future charities. For the winners of the contest will be fully credited on the designs. We'll go in much more detail of the shop right after the contest. Have any more questions?

Ah, ok, thanks!  Good ta know  
are you getting them screen-printed somewhere?

May-Li128 In reply to Arboris-Silvestre [2015-01-09 04:07:34 +0000 UTC]

No. I'v invested in buying equipment in order to do the shirts myself. I found screen printing a bit expensive and the line in my local T-shirt store is always long.

Arboris-Silvestre In reply to May-Li128 [2015-01-09 04:51:12 +0000 UTC]

Ah ok I've done iron-ons with decent luck, but I've never really checked the prices for screen printing. I know there are ways to do it yourself, but adding in multiple colors makes it complicated. 

Ive been sort of looking at those inkodye sun printing kits myself. Doing a detailed color image could be tricky too, but it incorporates the image directly into the fabric, which is kinda neat.

May-Li128 In reply to Arboris-Silvestre [2015-01-09 04:58:06 +0000 UTC]

Screen printing is quite complicated. I'm not even sure how it works but it's complex. The shirts aren't going to be iron on. Instead there're heat pressed.

Arboris-Silvestre In reply to May-Li128 [2015-01-09 05:26:22 +0000 UTC]

yeah, me neither. All I know is there's something like one screen stencil per color layer :/

Download the shirt template and from there you can upload to any editing software like Photoshop to mess with. Still having troubles? You can make one yourself. That's also another option. Also thank you for joining. You've ben added to the list

If you want I will happily insist you. Send me the final design and I'll do the rest for you.

Wow coincidence enough the group had a design contest soon after. Give me the link to the drawing and I'll do the rest.

I would like to make note that OC's Are by their nature "original" but I really Do agree with the reasoning behind it. Because let's face it:

Why would any artist or character designer want to put out any more temptation for their character to be stolen from them in a way that cannot be tracked?
