Title: Help me out? (please..?)
Post by: the_wasd_man on September 02, 2007, 07:20:37 PM
Threadless is a really cool site. Not only do they have a bunch of awesome T-Shirts, but those designs actually come from the users... so, guess what? :D

http://www.threadless.com/critique/7280/Swiss_army_light_sabre

Right now it's still in "Critique mode", which means that people can give their input and I can modify the design accordingly. So far response is pretty positive, and I'm pretty much done now. So check it out, leave some feedback if you want (you need to register, though). Once I send it into the running it all depends on user comments and votes, so when it does get out there I'd really appreciate it if you could leave some nice comments.... if you like it, that is.  :ohwell  :ninja

I'll keep you guys updated, and with a little luck you'll be able to wear it. ;)

Oh, and sorry if I haven't been around lately, school has been keeping me really busy... I'll try to be around more often. :)

Looks neat.  I think I would of made the saber bigger.  Seems kind of tiny compared to the blades, etc.  Love the idea though.

Thanks Rico. I had to make it fit into a certain area, if I'd make the saber bigger, it's have to scale down the rest of it. I sort of struck a compromised balance with it.  But thanks for the input! :)

It looks nice.  Is it possible to add a little more "glow" around the light saber?  Will it be tricky to pull it off (that is if you want to of course)?

One of the problems with Threadless is that you can only have 5 colors on your design, so things like gradients and "glows" are not possible. It can be annoying at times but it can certainly lead to immaginative solutions. Those that I tried didn't turn out too well. ;)
