If I made a killer T-Shirt design involving a Computer Graphic of a Nissan 240sx / Silvia S14, and I sold each shirt for $5 plus shipping, would any of you buy them?

Only if it had a D21 hardbody on it too. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Or perhaps a huge full-shirt picture of a KA? Or both the KA24E and DE.

Here's my first sketch for the design (preliminary).
It's supposed to be a picture of a silvia drifting around a turn. Now, don't worry... this is just a sketch... and a sketchy one at that. -=^_^=-
I'm thinking of having the word "Silvia" under the car, but that'll be last. First, I've got to get this car done.
If you have any suggestions as far as color goes, I'd like to hear it. I mean, it's YOUR shirt, so here's your chance to customize it to some extent. -=^_^=-

Get rid of the word "Silvia" from the hood. Of course I'll buy it! It's still cheaper than the $10 Silvia t-shirt from Pacific Rim! ^_^
Maybe you can make the driver do a peace sign while drifting. Hahahahahaha..

has anyone seen the race through stockholm yet? a friend sent it to me from the viper boards, it's like 20 minutes of a turbo supra racing a turbo cosworth. the camera is mounted on the dash of the cosworth. these cars are flying through downtown going like 150+ and even hit 180mph, cops are chasing them, it's the best street race video i've ever seen. total file size is 200MB. has anyone else seen it???

i'd just want a simple shirt. maybe just a nissan 240sx or silvia logo on the front, just something really plain.

Why is his head hanging out the window? who do's that when they race?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> Like Blank said I would prefer a simple shirt nothing fancy. Maybe a silvia logo on the back.

I'll give you extra money if you buy a tee that fits a girl nicely (think express).
MrMigs, how much would shipping cost?
For those of you who want just a 240SX or Silvia logo, or any other existing design actually, I can make them at work. I'd just need a high quality graphic. The shirt would be around $9 plus shipping. (In our store we normally charge $16.95 for a custom shirt.) Not very cheap but the store needs to make a profit. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> Sorry, we have no girly shirts. Just regular t-shirts. If interested, e-mail me for more info. I don't have this all thought out right now but I'm sure my boss won't mind.

Sorry guys. I said I would have the design done by last Sunday, but I've been really busy with school. That, and I have relatives staying over at my house for a week, so I've been spending a lot of time with them. They just came in from the Philippines, and I haven't seen them in a while.
But I will try my best to have it done by this weekend.... aww crap... wedding. Well, I'll try to have it done by this weekend anyways. -=^_^=-

R U going to ship to Canada???
Nobody ships here anymore, or at least alot of suppliers have.
MrMigs
11-26-2001, 07:59 PM
I guess i can ship all over. I just hope it doesn't cost too much. Anyways, I've been a lazy bastard lately, but I have been working on that picture. Actually, I've been really busy with school, which sux, but I managed to get enough time one day to make this smooth outline.
Ill color it this week and add some background stuff and maybe a text logo to finish up the backside of the shirt. Don't worry about the rear tire not looking right because it will be spinning anyways, so you won't see much detail from it in the final edit.
Also, I'll be sure to add the lighting details with the color job.

that looks nice i'd get one also put a s13 in there too!

Hey, how about you make that link active again so i can see, cause ill get one to, if you can add a S13 Coupe (non-hatchback)... it would be AWSOME, but reactivate the link and i want to see your sketches...
MrMigs
11-27-2001, 01:05 AM
The link should be active.
I guess i could do an S13 design after this one is finished. I just wanted to ask you guys if you wanted any other stuff on the shirt. One guy said he wanted to have a logo on one of the sleeves.
As soon as I'm done coloring the car, I'll add a floor/street so the car can have a nice little shadow under it. Then I'm thinking of having in large silver text a logo on the back that says either Zilvia, Silvia, or Nissan. Either that, or I could use Kanji Characters that say something cool.
I'm not too sure about the front yet, but I'm thinking of just having a small logo near the breast area or on the center of the shirt.
Then I might put the nissan logo on one of the sleeves, as burgy240 requested, but I'm not sure of it yet.
Anyways, the next picture I post will most likely be a colored version of the car... At the moment, im thinking of coloring it either blue or dark red... maybe dark gray.

Mr. T, I think your "blueprint - back" t-shirt looks pretty good.
In any event, I have 2 versions of this basic-color design. I haven't added any details with the lights, shading, or highlights/gloss yet because I'm not sure what colors I should use with the car yet.
Anyways, here are some previews. If you have a cool color scheme that you would like to suggest, send your info to my email at <a href="mailto:
[email protected]">michaelga
[email protected]</a>
And finally, here are my 2 preview pics. again, the final version will look a lot better than these.

USE SHADING, if not it wont look too attractive, MrMigs...
and do the front signals in orange, not the color of the car... spruce it up a lil......... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

I think you missed the text i posted earlier. I said that this was merely a preview so you can see what colors i might use. So in other words, I do plan to add highlights/gloss, along with shading, more detail, and a background. Then there's this whole business about the text art, but thats another story -=^_^=-

thanks migs, now it'd be cool if a whole bunch of people bought some <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Im not sure how that screenprint online company place thingie works, but I bet if you lowered the price a bit, you could get a lot more buyers.
