    New E30 Shirt

    A while back, I started drawing an E30 to teach myself adobe illustrator. It's been a while since I started, and recently, I came back to finish it. I'm thinking to turn it into a shirt.




    Placement:

    For at least the first run, I want to print it discharge dye, which means it will be just be the shirt. It'll never crack, or fade like normal plastisol shirts do. Additionally, it'll either be printed on 32 or 30 single shirt, so quite soft.

    Tentative color options: Black, gray, dark blue, dark red.
    Estimated Price: $20-22 shipped in the US.

    If anyone has any constructive feedback or comments, still open to hearing them.
    And I'd like to get a feel for how many people would be actually interested in buying it, so either send me a PM or post up here please.

    Thanks!

    Question/idea. Could you do just the outline of the design. I think that would look tits on a blue or gray shirt

        I wouldn't buy it with "got rake" on there.

        Fix that and I'll take one in black or white.

          I like the type of shirt you plan to make and I also like your skills, however, I am not a fan of the vehicle shot (location), the streaks behind the tires, or the plate.

          If you make others I'll have to check them out because it appears to be a good job, just not my taste for the above mentioned reasons.

            Yeah why the "got rake"? I don't want to have rake! and if I do have rake then I definitely don't want to brag about it! And that car doesn't even have rake!

              Hmmm, not a fan. A lot of the areas of the car look really disproportionate.

              And way too many lines/too much going on. The grids in the taillights, the window trims, streaks on the tires, design of the wheels. I like the design, but it wouldn't translate over to a shirt well. Needs to be much simpler.

                I like everything but the "got rake." Maybe get rid of the lines on the lights as well. Ill take one.

                  Oh, I'm sorry you hate the way e30's actually look. Really unfortunate, since it's based precisely on a photograph of an e30. Maybe you should go buy a prius.

                  To the rest, you're most likely right, the Got Rake is rather irrelevant, and I'd consider dropping it. What should be there instead? I feel like nothing would be also rather strange.

                    Oh, good! You're one of those dickhead "artists" that can't take criticisms of their work, especially when they're constructive, not rude, much like you're acting right now. Not a single thing had to do with "the way e30's actually look". I was talking about how well it would work being printed on a t-shirt.

                    Get fucked. Good luck with yet ANOTHER E30 t-shirt design in an already saturated market.

                    And for the record, there's no apostrophe in e30s. It's not a contraction, and you're not talking about something that belongs to it.

                      Dirty 30, early model lowered. Shot from the front quarter, maybe just the outline or maybe not.
                      Stay strong!

                        Got rake? Hmm I think it needs something more catchy.

                        Just my 2 cents

                            You have a decent design, but I have to agree with Josh, it will not transfer well onto a t-shirt. He wasn't bashing your design, just trying to give a little feedback..
