Hand drawn, hand traced
EDIT redone per some requests. let me know what you think EZ.
EDIT updated again for EZ
EDIT tiny change to the DOC OC power cables on his back for EZ. Also lightened the color a tiny bit on the shirt so more detail can be seen.

probably your best so far.
something about the stroke on the shirt looks off though…
jimmyheartcore said 8 months ago
Yeah this one does look cooler. Once again, more texture would do this some good.
kyleisez said 8 months ago
yea i actually really like it too.. i think the tv is kinda meh, it looks too clean, def neeeds texture i just realized thats a vcr in his hand too…
i could prob use this one i just have to figure out what i want taken out and added
dobi said 8 months ago
looks neat, i would almost like to see him smaller, and have the wire on the floor expand out more. also, not really feeling the text on the screen, i would almost like to see a pink brain there.
dobi said 8 months ago
also, bottom of the shirt on the left looks like crap
ryanmiller said 8 months ago
This reminds me of a few of Rob’s shirts put together, haha.. I agree with Rob, maybe take out the green text all together, or switch it out with something else. I don’t know if texture would look that great on this design, since you’re going for the clean cut vector look..
faithbydesign said 8 months ago
I agree with rob. I love the concept thought, not your typical zombie shirt. You defenitely need some texture, it looks way to clean and i don’t see this as an electric zombie shirt. I also don’t like the blue shirt mock up.
kyleisez said 8 months ago
lets get some blood in there too maybe and switch the color of the shirt. liking this. i just think the shirt needs to be roughed up a little more… clean up the feet (they look too jagged)
if more changes come up ill post them here
Nate said 8 months ago
I like the tv without the texture because it is such a clean design. Although I did like the text inside… the brain idea is legit. Also I couldn’t see that he was holding a VCR? Great job though!
Oliver said 8 months ago
no blood necessary, although the feet are a little pointy. I think it’s pretty solid overall. I would take the black stroke off of the shirt though
labyrinth said 8 months ago
yeah this is pretty sweet.
sittingduck said 8 months ago
wow, quite a lot to wake up to this morning! I’ll go make some changes, I’ll have it back in about 3 or 4 hours i would guess. EZ, do you want me to stick with the text or go for the brain?
good idea to remove the black stroke. thanks.
sittingduck said 8 months ago
he’s slightly smaller on the redo … not a huge amount. I loved your idea for a pink brain in the tv set. great idea.
dobi said 8 months ago
new version looks way better dude, you are the little engine that could.
Nate said 8 months ago
I really dig the new version. It reminds me of Fullbleed a lot now… The crack in the TV is a nice add on and the detail on the VCR is great.
sittingduck said 8 months ago
haha, thanks. I would be lying if i didn’t say you weren’t a big influence on my silhouette work. refraction retraction is one of my favorite shirts of all time, and i just found out a couple days ago it was yours. It’s sad the lack of comments you have on your work. You’ve got some gold in them hills. :D
sittingduck said 8 months ago
you can see the detail in the vcr!? i can’t see it on this one … i put all the normal buttons on there for this run tho. thanks :D
CMYK|BRAD said 8 months ago
Sweet, would buy this in a second!
faithbydesign said 8 months ago
so much better this time around! I still think it looks a little clean but you are definitely learning from what everyone is telling you!
sittingduck said 8 months ago
I try, thanks :D
ryanmiller said 8 months ago
looking good man..
labyrinth said 8 months ago
i like the new version a lot.
Andwhat! said 8 months ago
this is what more people need to do. they need to take what everyone has been telling them, turn it into something positive. not complain about so and so is a dick. this is great, it’s good to see someone progress.
this is what the site is about, growing as a designer and learning. great job.
one thing i still think needs a little improvement is the left side of the shirt on the zombie dude, like dobi said, for some reason it looks off. but other then that, i think you’re set.
sittingduck said 8 months ago
i redid the left bottom side of the shirt … it’s supposed to look like it’s slightly torn and pulled out of his pants … while the other side is still tucked in … kindof a “i just got the shit kicked out of me” look. not sure how I could make it look better … hmm. thanks fer the comments tho :D
kyleisez said 8 months ago
ok loose the blood and the brain. I love the cracks are, if theres some kind of way that yu can make the prongs of a power cord come up kind like dr.octopus in spiderman, just like 1 or 2 that would rule, im def gonna use this dude great work!
also when I get this from you, make it to where i could place things in the tv, so leave the inside part blank, but on mocks keep it white, man this is great
sittingduck said 8 months ago
I’ll get right on the Doc Oc stuff. brain and blood will be gone shortly :D
sittingduck said 8 months ago
i think i enjoy the brains and blood version better. this one would be easier to print though.
kyleisez said 8 months ago
ok the one on the left looks too cartoonie and maybe make the wires a little thinner same size as the others
sittingduck said 8 months ago
ok, will do.
jfinley said 8 months ago
too late on this to see the original version, but this version if your best so far
sittingduck said 8 months ago
just for you jeff … I’ll post the work in progress:
1.
2.
3.
4.
kyleisez said 8 months ago
you dude email me a bigger version of it, i just wanna see the detail, like send me it at about 1200pixels. i wanna see the power cords a little closer and hit me up on aim if you can, thanks
sittingduck said 8 months ago
ok, i will as soon as i can.
sittingduck said 8 months ago
email sent, what’s ur aim?
Nate said 8 months ago
Although I miss the blood on him, the tee design is officially legit. I also love the cords flying around. It looks awesome. I am going to second what AndWhat! said… it is awesome to have watched the progression of this tee design. It really is what this site is all about!
kyleisez said 8 months ago
electricz0mbie
sittingduck said 8 months ago
k cool
jimmyhaffa1 said 8 months ago
good job, i really like the concept, def best one so far by you!
jimmyheartcore said 8 months ago
That is exactly what this site is all about. This turned out really great! I am really glad that you didn’t get discouraged from the get go, and you kept at it.
Awesome job man!
itschrees said 8 months ago
ha dood! good job. i really enjoyed seeing the process, cool to see where you started – ended.
sittingduck said 8 months ago
thanks guys.
Oliver said 8 months ago
yeah this is pretty great
jimmyheartcore said 8 months ago
This design is the emptees success story.
From zero to hero.
sittingduck said 8 months ago
thanks jimmy
Nate said 8 months ago
Haha. Was it a zero to start with?!
sittingduck said 8 months ago
apparently. :D
chrisrushing said 8 months ago
so. much. better… than anything you’ve done.
still it’s nothing i’d wear. thats just a style preference though.
jimmyheartcore said 8 months ago
+1
I would wear it though.
Time Without the E said 8 months ago
dam thats a sick shirt!
makes my work look like shit
lol
heavyprints said 8 months ago
Is it just me or was it like watching the underdog pull off an upset in a high profile game? Sittingduck kept trying, and keeping a great attitude, and you just kind of wanted him to succeed. lol.
Awesome shirt, btw.
mitchbones said 8 months ago
Bro this is seriously your sickest shirt by far. I’d defiantly wear it.
I was thinking about how to kill a TV zombie and came up with a funny thought. Writers Strike.
sittingduck said 8 months ago
haha, i wasn’t THAT much of an underdog. I just had to feel around for what people liked. I’ve been doing graphic design for years, this is just my first shot at putting that on t-shirts, so it was really just the same criticism I’ve always had, just on different subject matter. haha, oops, did I spoil it?
heavyprints said 8 months ago
Haha, no. It’s still good.
Nate said 8 months ago
Tee of the month. To early to call it?
Randomentity said 8 months ago
dude, awesome work, you’ve come a loooong way.
jfinley said 8 months ago
congrats on the feature
sittingduck said 8 months ago
thanks man!
jimmyheartcore said 8 months ago
That would mean he got the most votes all month.
sittingduck said 8 months ago
yea, we’ll see.
Dave!PTS said 8 months ago
Good job man, this is one of the best tee’s i’ve seen in ages. Let me know when its up and ready to pur-chase!
sittingduck said 8 months ago
Talk to IamEZ, i sold it to him, it’s his to print or use for whatever now. :D
lesmiche said 8 months ago
where can i buy this shirt?
sittingduck said 8 months ago
you can’t, I’d talk to EZ, he’s the one who might or might not print it. the design is his :D
Stephanie said 7 months ago
this reminds me of a Motion City Soundtrack poster i have. it’s awesome.
hideouscarwreck said 7 months ago
from looking at the progress pictures i think you should maybe consider adding the red blood back in.
either way i would buy this in a heartbeat … fantastic design.
taylorlreed said 6 months ago
i like it.
i just dont like that his arms are black.
I would buy this.
birdie3431 said 6 months ago
i saw this on threadless...? maybe?
nadameansnothing.com said 6 months ago
i think this is too dobbilish..
sittingduck said 6 months ago
yea, i posted it on threadless when EZ turned it down
theknifefits said 6 months ago
i like a lot.... as is.
CMYK|BRAD said 6 months ago
Why the fuck is this still not printed? lol
These companies have no idea ..
MykeCatastrophic said 5 months ago
love the process from what you started at to what you ended at.
amazing design man.
Kolby said 5 months ago
The work in progress is the best EZ shirt by far. GREAT job.
Kolby said 5 months ago
Will this be for sale?
sittingduck said 5 months ago
not through electric zombie, jaccprints has made an offer on it and I'm waiting for threadless.com to release their grip on the copyrights before i can sell it to him. (should be like a month or so)
CultivatedLove said 4 months ago
Ever check out live4this, I like it
jimmyheartcore said 4 months ago
I wish it was printing bigger.
sittingduck said 4 months ago

coloroverload said 4 months ago
