REQ - T-Shirt Design - $50 - CONTEST EXTENDED

I will be putting up several t-shirt design contests over the next few weeks from my new site: www.knucklechuck(dot)com

The first shirt is a shirt for a female.

The shirt will be a guy holding what are called "focus pads" or "focus mitts" which are pads a boxing trainer wears on his hand while a boxer throws punches.

These are some focus mitts:

For the shirt, I want it to be as if the person LOOKING at the shirt was looking at a guy holding the focus mitts. - they would fall directly over the breast region of the shirt

In between the breasts would be the guys face. Something in the vain of an OLDER, more gruff and grizzled "bad boy face": http://www.internetbadboy.com/images/InternetBadBoyLogo.gif

Putting the words "KnuckleChuck" or the actual logo (on the website) SUBTLY incorporated into the design would be sweet.

Contest Ends SUNDAY at midnight Eastern time. (Reserve right to end contest early if someone does an amazing job right away if that's still allowed).

Payment by paypal.

$50.

EDIT: Would like attention paid to the number of colors used. The fewer the better. Any color shirt as a base is fine.
EDIT 2: Maybe put a pageboy hat on the guy

Awesome. I used to do design contests all the time here. I'm excited and looking forward to it!

 

[creme]

Anyone else going to participate?

 

[josephine]

Contest extended see edit in original post

 

[creme]

Is anyone else going to participate? I'd like to delete this if not and post another one. I see contests paying less getting lots of submissions?

 

[squiward]

here's a quick try at it...

 

[creme]

Squiward: Nice. A few things:

1.) With this design, is it possible to use other t-shirt colors besides white?
2.) Can you show the layout on a female shirt? I need the focus pads to line up as perfectly with the breasts/nipples as possible and this will only me a female shirt.
3.) I did use the "bad boy" face an an example, but I think this is too close to the original. I can't find an image of exactly what I had in mind, but more old. Almost something like this: http://no_url_shorteners/dqk3HX but without the mask and a little less fat. Instead of looking young he has to look like a guy who's lived in a boxing gym for 40 years and smokes cigars or something.

I like how it's looking.

Josephine - Could you line the pads up with where the breasts would be? And add some detail to the face of the guy? Would like to see you go for it again. Thanks!

 

[squiward]

ok.. i'm working on it

 

[squiward]

Hi creme,
This is the revision. I've made 2 version of the head.
The colour can be changed later as you want. Let me know if u like it or not.
Thanks
Version a

version b

 

[creme]

Version A looks great with 2 small edits:

- Can you make the thing in his mouth look less like a joint and more like a cigar? (maybe a really used, beat up, cigar)

- A small circle in the middle of the red dot on the pads. (Basically almost looking like a nipple)

I did some edits based on your direction. Here's the result, I hope you like it.

- A small circle in the middle of the red dot on the pads. (Basically almost looking like a nipple)

 

[creme]

Dakouten - I don't think that will work for a t-shirt because there are too many colors.

Squiward - Looks good, except I thought version A was the bald one.

sorry, that's my fault.. You were right, version A was the bald one. I'll post it again with the revision you said.

Hey, you're getting some great designs and have an awesome site! Two veterans on here, both with combat sport sites! Yours looks great!

Good luck with your apparel, some real great stuff getting worked out for ya here.

 

[creme]

Duende - Thanks. Still getting some stuff tweaked, but it's coming along.

Squiward - Almost perfect. Last thing: the dot. Instead of a solid black dot, can you make it be a white circle but red in the middle? So, it would be the big red circle that is there now, a thin, white circle (same circumference as the black dot) but the inside is red. It's pretty much just a white outline of a circle.

Will anyone else be submitting?
