I need some more opinions, I love you

[Jimmy Up]

Ok, like some of you may know, I am ready to push out another design and I actually am going with a new printer for all my shirt needs and it is allowing me to do some multi-color designs that I have been dreaming up. Here is one of the ones that I really want to make happen and I know I have thrown a few at you guys but those will also be coming back for opinions with some more color and flavour ;) as well.

Again, looking for some feedback on this.


And since cost is down prices for this shirt which has quite a few colors are not going to mean higher cost to you :D.


Any feedback, as always is greatly appreciated. Let me know what you guys think.
(The only reason my name and Jimmy Up is on there is because the logo is not going to be on the front of this shirt, I plan on putting a 6" logo on the lower right backside of the shirt, "Mike Mancuso, Jimmy Up" is NOT part of the design)

It would be better to me if the girl were drawn better. the wheels are cool tho!

[Jimmy Up]

Most definitely, I need to get my friend to give me another chance at some pics so I can trrace em haha- As of now, shes freehand.

[proledoriat]

Where'd you get the printer for the shirts? weren't you silkscreening the past shirts?

[Jimmy Up]

Printer = person actually producing them, not like an object. Still using ink and screens and all that good stuff :D

[proledoriat]

O, lol. cool. I'm looking forward the the final design! post it up for sure!

[HyperTek]

you gotta make better looking girls man

i got it down

go watch some anime or look at some anime pics
an anime style chick on a s13 might be a hot number

[rhs13]

i usually just trace porn star thumbnails for my shirt designs. they're usually in more interesting positions... then stick an umbrella in there afterwards.

[Jimmy Up]

What you guys think, go with anime or trace a porn star???

[exitspeed]

porn star???

^
That.

But yea, I'm not feeling this design. Seems very amateur-ish. No offense.

[HS13KLS]

if your design didnt have to have the girl in it..id say stick with just the picture of the hatch..its looks clean..
but as for the girl...maybe have you standing striaght with the umbrella over her face..(hehe)

[ByeByeSti]

That.

second that, needs some mroe work man, but youve got a start. the first design of the silvia was good. gotta make a nice kouki one for us on here!:bigok:

I know I haven't been the biggest jimmy up fan from the start, but considering I do this for a living it's hard to look at some of these designs. You guys really need to practice your illustrator skills. This isn't being a dick, this is a fact. The curves look awful and the perspective is way skewed. Get on some online tutorials and read, read, read, practice, practice, practice.

Compare this to what you have:

I suppose it doesn't matter, it seems people like your designs and buy them. But from a design standpoint, you guys just need more practice and design sensibilities.

[garagelu]

girls on t shirts are pretty gay in my opinion. Go with a more trendy design on the shirt. Maybe not your style?

[99maxgtr]

if you want to use the umbrella design, go with the morton salt girl, the one "when it rain it pours"

[Quban.Russian mx73]

sick i like your shirt designs ..you should make one with a cressida !
hahaha hope to see you at the meet

[Ineedparts]

You have to do it, I have those tails and will be getting over fenders put me down for one in each color

[jackjack]

um. no. overall i think it looks pretty bad. try something different.

[Slidin240Wayz]

no..............

nothing flows

[SW20Racer]

um. no. overall i think it looks pretty bad. try something different.

werd. boso is the new pink dood! do a cressida like quban said and throw an oil cooler and some blast pipes into the mix. just have it hard parking with a good view of the front. and like garagelu mentioned, i wouldnt want chicks on my tshirts

[rowdogg03]

Honestly Im not really feeling it.. Just looks like something I could do..

Im not hating, just think it could be improved.. Good start though

+1 for being open to opinions..

[whiterps13]

I dont like it at all.

The proportions are off, the angle of the wheel is completely wrong, and the overfender seam looks horrible. And than that black line thats supposed to be a lip wing or something doesnt look right at all. Not to mention the hatch glass isnt right either.

Id suggest starting over.

[TheRonTom31]

I will donate my drawing skills for a free t shirt. I have a few drawings I can just quickly edit or I can sketch a girl from scratch in all of an hour when I get out of work tonight

let me Know

[idriveattz32]

i'd have to say not one of your best compared to the last two i've seen...give it another go.

[azndoc]

I'm not digging it.

The girl doesn't look right.

The car looks horrible. Like something a first grader would draw.

The truth.

[burnsauto]

pretty bad layout. and the drawing is pretty terrible. you have like 3 different perspectives in it. (unless he's got SERIOUS toe-in problems.)

[ripnbst]

if you need to trace women or get ideas how to draw them watch some Hantai.

[ESmorz]

If it were a coupe I'd buy it.

[Jgrand03]

i agree with everybody else i think the ideas a good start but def. needs some work and id rather have kouki tails but thats me

[Jimmy Up]

Non taken sir

Just me doin this up now, my partner and I have decided that we already made enough to pick up a chassis, which was the main reason for even starting this, and that I was going to continue on as a lone wolf haha. But yea- Thats what I am doing is practicing, I am not posting these up for sale because I doubt they would sell very well as is and thats why I am in chat asking for opinions and working on it when I am not at school or work. But I have read a couple of things from you that were pretty unnecessary about what I am doing here and I dont really understand them but I am glad you gave some real insight on this opinion and I really do appreciate it.

sick i like your shirt designs ..you should make one with a cressida !
hahaha hope to see you at the meet

I am formally extending an offer of a free shirt for a picture of your car to use on a shirt- you will also have input on the design since I do not want to put your car to shame, SoCal Boso???
pming you.

werd. boso is the new pink dood! do a cressida like quban said and throw an oil cooler and some blast pipes into the mix. just have it hard parking with a good view of the front. and like garagelu mentioned, i wouldnt want chicks on my tshirts

Well see ^^^^^ :D

i'd have to say not one of your best compared to the last two i've seen...give it another go.

Thanks man

Toe in ftw, just kidding :(
