This is just a Tee I did for Sturgis H-D.
for VF Imagewear /
Harley-Davidson Licensed Merchandise.
I just stumbled onto emptees and thought I’d join what seemed like a great community.
I did’t see a lot of this kind of tee art posted on here, so I’d thought I might add a couple.
It’s available for sale at a bunch of H-D Dealerships in the Sturgis area...but it’s availability varies up until Sturgis in august.

how in the world did you develop this? its nothing i’d wear personally. but execution of the photo manip/illustration whatever it is.... is nicely done.

I used to work at VF... its fucking lame
basically this is done in grayscale process and they use paths to color it...

Yeah - they do that greyscale stuff in VF Tampa...crazy method.
Our group is in Milwaukee, and we can’t do it the greyscale way because we have to many revisions from the clients....
Basically I just draw it up in photoshop, a little painter...and take some ref pics for lighting, and texture, then impose the parts of the pic into the digital painting, and blend away.
then spot color separate it for printing.

I just hate how all the shirts that are done in this process have that thick ass black stroke around it... and I hate how the images always look bad ass but the text looks retarded, not in this piece but in ALL VF pieces

I actually work with the guy who posted this and I’m not too sure what youmean by a thick black stroke around everything. Maybe they do that with their Illustrator stuff but not the hi end art. We dont do it up here anyway. By the way, everyone up here in milwaukee HATES VF. We used to be Holoubek, Inc and they came in and bought us out a few years ago and laid off half the art department. We had 16 artist now we have about 7 or 8. Which is why we started Eternyl Studios.

gnarly. Def something different then what you usually see on here

check out around the bike and the head lights... theres a thick black outline, go and look at your pieces in your portfolio, objects have a thick line around them... its like that on every VF piece... not singling you out... just saying

Yeah, I see what you mean. But thats just key lining, really. Just to separate the colors a bit. Otherwise it starts to look a little too painterly for the Harley folks. A lot of that is the client too or the printer they’re using. I dont mind the black lines. I like the contrast and the separation. Different situations call for different techniques I guess. Most of the time we steer pretty clear of most of VF’s techniques.
Eternyl said 6 months ago
Yeah black lines...pretty much gotta do what the client asks...
I guess it’s kinda like the Disney method using the darker shade of the fill color to outline...very signature...kinda annoying too, but very signature.
