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. 12 4437 6323 Sturgis Hawg Rider 2008 4344 2 2009-11-08T06:16:14-05:00 942 http://cache0.emptees.com/images/17915/Eternyl-Hawg-Rider.jpg http://emptees.com/tees/4437-sturgis-hawg-rider-2008/buy \m/ 4437 Tee 2008-05-13T23:13:27-04:00 85145 244 2008-05-13T23:13:27-04:00 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. 4437 Tee 2008-05-13T23:23:51-04:00 85152 954 2008-05-13T23:23:51-04:00 I used to work at VF... its fucking lame basically this is done in grayscale process and they use paths to color it... 4437 Tee 2008-05-13T23:54:40-04:00 85164 782 2008-05-13T23:54:40-04:00 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. 4437 Tee 2008-05-14T00:14:33-04:00 85173 4344 2008-05-14T00:14:33-04:00 well isn't EZ a bundle of joy tonight! haha 4437 Tee 2008-05-14T00:26:36-04:00 85182 1815 2008-05-14T00:26:36-04:00 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 4437 Tee 2008-05-14T00:29:25-04:00 85184 782 2008-05-14T00:29:25-04:00 This is right up my street mate!! love it!!!! looks fucking lush!!! 4437 Tee 2008-05-14T03:52:10-04:00 85273 2802 2008-05-14T03:52:10-04:00 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. 4437 Tee 2008-05-14T08:18:31-04:00 85316 4345 2008-05-14T08:18:31-04:00 cool... love it! 4437 Tee 2008-05-14T09:11:59-04:00 85323 3771 2008-05-14T09:11:59-04:00 gnarly. Def something different then what you usually see on here 4437 Tee 2008-05-14T10:05:31-04:00 85340 1135 2008-05-14T10:05:31-04:00 <blockquote><cite>eternylrob said:</cite> I actually work with the guy who posted this and I'm not too sure what youmean by a thick black stroke around everything.

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. 4437 Tee 2008-05-14T10:51:57-04:00 85351 4345 2008-05-14T10:51:57-04:00 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. 4437 Tee 2008-05-14T13:05:49-04:00 85458 4344 2008-05-14T13:05:49-04:00 THE BIKING VIKING APPROVES! 4437 Tee 2008-08-20T01:59:23-04:00 170239 6323 2008-08-20T01:59:23-04:00
