[Deptheads] Con T-Shirts

[Evil5757 at aol.com]

Not a big deal for cover art, but it's all over the place with the brush  
strokes being pixelated. The clearest section of the concept is on the guy's  
left sleeve where the wrappings are loose and hanging down. You see there 
the  lines look like stairs instead of a straight line? Those would magnify 
in a  shirt because the process to digitalize colors for the machines there 
would  be too many lines to try to "match up" in the color borders and it 
wouldn't  blend right, amplifying the effect. I could take something like this 
to get  done, but the set-up fee would go from $100 to about $400-$500 
depending on how  much time the artist I hire to fix it takes.
 
it's not a matter of the dpi, but how it's vectored and mapped out.

Boxed  diagonals? Not seeing any.

My mistake then. I didn't know the "boxed diagonals" were  
intentional...thought they were just badly pixelated lines.

In this case that's not true -- we start at 450 dpi. No one  will see those 
pixels. The real problem to do this is we only get 6 colors  unless we go 
digital. We've done that once -- the "Clue" Orccon shirts a  couple years 
back. But that limits the shirt color to something  lighter.

It also limits who we can go with. The digital equipment  isn't 
traditional, and not everyone has it.
