OK! I have discussed it with Gizmo and this thread will be open for entries into the "Design the Campfur 2013 T-shirt" contest.

This years theme is Luau (Hawaii!) so entries that incorporate this theme will most likely be given the most consideration.

The prize for having your design chosen is as follows:

1. I will be donating 1 of the shirts printed in the chosen design to the winner.
2. Gizmo will issue the winner with a $25.00 credit towards purchase of your CampFur attendance package. 

So, if you win, it will only cost you $25.00 to go and you get a shirt!  Or it will be $25.00 cheaper to get either the sponsor or patron levels and then you get TWO shirts!

All designs will be judged by Gizmo in a method of his choosing. It may or may not involve fire.

You may either post your finished design in this thread or private message them to Gizmo personally to keep your awesome entry a secret!

If you are going to field an entry - please make a post here just to keep track of how many entries are to be expected.

My apologies to anyone who was affected by earlier confusions - these have been sorted out and I hope that the new contest runs smoothly!

Good luck to all entrants!     :thumbs:

I will be fielding an entry in the contest myself so I won't be judging anything however I am looking for assistance in completing my shirt design. I need a bust style character face to go in the center of the shirt in a stencil (line drawing) style.  Species doesn't matter as long as it's a definitively outlined image that I can overlay onto the shirt. If you are interested in this (the shirt is complete except for the face) please send me a private message with any questions.

If you submit an image to me for the shirt and I use it, should the design win, the artist who drew the image will receive the prize in its entirety.

That's right, you will get both the shirt and the $25.00 off CampFur attendance fees.

Half the work and all the prizes!

I look forward to hearing from any interested parties :)

**EDIT**

Feel free to do both by the way. If you submit your own shirt design and send me a character drawing - you're getting two chances to win :)  Unless anyone thinks that's unfair?

I thought I'd get the ball rolling - here is what I am working on currently.  It is missing a Char. portrait for the front (as mentioned above) and not sure how the shoulder/paw thing will look when it's finished but yeah!  I can't wait to see other peoples ideas :)

If an imagehost is needed I've been using  imgur.com which is free and has code links for message boards on upload.

Here are the t-shirt limitations - as set out by the printer:


Each design can be a maximum size of 11.5 inches wide x 15 inches tall.
Design should be at least 300dpi at the full print size.
Preferred file types are .AI, .PSD or .TIF but we can work with almost any Photoshop/Illustrator compatible file type.
Submitted file should be flattened with any fonts converted to outlines or rasterized.

Irish Lion, I like the bottom one with the paw, you might consider adding more color to it to give it the Hawaiian feel.

By now you are looking to add a character to this design or an entire different design?

The paw will be colored in the final design I submit.

I personally am looking for a character drawing to add into the design I'm currently working on, a couple of people have PM'd me expressing interest but I haven't received any completed chars. yet.  I am, at this moment, transferring the image you saw above into a template fitting the dimensions Gizmo provided and cleaning up the lines, etc. 

We are also welcoming full shirt designs to make sure we can have a rocking T-Shirt for Campfur.

Gizmo is going to pick the one he likes best at the end. I'm just in this for fun and practice which is why I'm not going to win anything should my design be chosen.

Ok folks - it's Mid-April. 

gizmo mentioned having things finished up by the end of this month so I thought I'd pop in for a status update to make sure we have everything set up in time for Printing!

I've mostly finished up the background for my entry into the dimensions giz mentioned but I have not heard back from who pm'd me regarding character sketches.

If you're still around, and interested, pm me or post here and let me know, because i accidentally deleted your message and cannot for the life of me remember your name... :/  I've been trying to do my own, just in case, but nothing that suits the theme has sprung forth.

Star had a promising sketch earlier, hows that coming? :)

The more options available the better. Perhaps gizmo would be amenable to a vote amongst those attending, for their favorite design, to ensure those getting the shirts will enjoy wearing it :)

Thoughts?

Have we finalized a T-shirt design?
