My account has a bug so I still can't access the forums to post my entry there... I hope it's okay. Raster images done in Photoshop. This is original art. The background color, or shirt color, can be any as long as it shows the black and white design clearly.
These following two designs are also raster images done in Photoshop. These are not totally original art. I used the sword icons from http://yppedia.puzzlepirates.com/Swords by importing the .png files to Photoshop, enlarging them, then using a Stamp Effect Sketch Filter. I'm not sure but this should fall under fair use, right? I won't make any profit from my designs unless I win the contest, in which case the ones who will use my designs for commercial purposes will be the copyright holders themselves. So I hope this is okay. Lastly, the background color, or shirt color, may vary as long as it shows the other elements clearly.

Design FAQ
Specific questions collected from the forum/PMs that are not addressed in the Competition Guidelines.
Layout
- Can we do front and back designs, or just the front?
You can submit designs for both the front and the back.
- Do we have to make a (real life) t shirt and add the design on it?
No. Just submit your design image to the entry thread in Mariner's Muse, and to the wiki page. (Thanks Apollo!)
- Can we sketch the design out?
You can use whatever methods you want in the preparation of your design. The final submission has to be in a digital format. If you need help translating a sketch into digital format, enlist the help of a fellow pirate on the forum!
- Is it allowable to alter Three Rings game graphics for the design)? I'm not suggesting taking a portrait and sticking it on a t-shirt ... just wondering if it has to be completely original art.
Completely original designs are the main intention of the contest. However, I'm not aware of a definitive "no existing game art" rule, and I could see some potential for taking existing game art and giving it a completely new twist. I don't want to make a black-and-white statement about this and therefore stop an absolutely brilliant idea being entered! (Thanks Apollo!)
- What is completely original art? Does that mean simple art (not so detailed)..?
Original art is art that you've created without copying existing art (so no tracing, altering other people's photos or clip art; that sort of thing). It usually consists of drawings or paintings, or in this case, vector art.
Original in no way implies simple. It may be, but simplicity and originality are two different things. (Thanks SilveRansom!)
- What fonts can I use?
please oh please make sure you use fonts that are FREE or you OWN. I shouldn't have to say this but using some random font your friend gave you is copyright infringement and you and Three Rings could easily be sued without proper rights. Most of the images created look like they are using screen fonts of some variety... but it is something to consider. (Thanks lebandit)
Another note about fonts: If you save as SVG, note that many fonts won't show up as what you intended - they'll show up as Arial, etc..., just as webpages with custom fonts (Ugh I hate those) that people stupidly coded where you gotta have the font to view the webpage. (Thanks Thumbis!)
Vector Art Programs
- You listed Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, Freehand, Flash and some from the wikipedia site, do I *have* to use these?
You don't have to use one of those programs specifically - use whatever you want. You can hand draw and edit on PC if you wish. See the Vector vs Bitmap section below for why vector art is preferred.
- I got a macintosh computer (very very new) I cant find a good program that is good to design graphic, any way i could get some fancy program? and any tips on designing graphic?
I found this free editor and it looks like it covers Linux, Windows and OSX. Inkscape (Thanks Synful!)
- What file format will you require for the vector images, EPS?
Yup.
Colors
- What colors are allowed?
Keep with these colors for the ink: Black, White, Golden Yellow, Lemon yellow, Orange, Red, Purple, Brown, Navy Blue, Royal Blue, Light Blue, Green, Dark Green to be safe.
For tee colors, here are the more common colors: Black, White, Yellow, Orange, Red, Purple, Brown, Navy Blue, Royal Blue, Light Blue, Green, Dark Green, Gray (That said, also depends on what stock the print shop may have.)
- Are there templates available or possible shirt colors?
Threadless has two templates available that show shirt colors available for previewing of your designs in 640x480. T-shirt colors are: banana, kiwi, classic pink, azalea, light blue, navy, royal, pacific blue, orange, orange poppy, purple, dusk purple, gold, red, scarlet, forest green, kelly, jade, sagestone, yellow, burgundy, chocolate, dakota state, denim, khaki, black, athletic heather, ash, natural and white. Photoshop PSD Flash FLA
Take note that though the Threadless templates have a large range of t-shirt colors, since we are not organizing this competition via Threadless, we cannot guarantee that the more exotic t-shirt colors (those not on the common color list above) will be available.
- If we use black as an outline, does that count as a colour? / Can we specify preferred shirt colors for our designs to eke out a fourth color?
Yes. Remember that you can use the T-shirt beneath the design to act as an outline by leaving gaps in your design, though! (Thanks Apollo!) The classic example would be a black background, meaning you can have lovely thick black lines within the art without needing to waste a colour on 'em. ;) (Thanks ponytailguy)
- I tried to get the colors all the same (so I would only have 3 colors) and I got it as close as I could but not exact. So my question is: Can I post the image and then tell what and where the three colors are supposed to be?
Yes! Just make a note next to your entry.
- Can I post multiple color versions my design entry to see which one people like better?
Sure! As long as the ink and t-shirt colors are available, you can make different colorways for your design.
- Can I use newspaper-style shading to increase the number of colors they can use e.g. using little red dots on white to get a pink effect?
Sure can! Here's an example of how it can work nicely. If you're talking about color halftones, you would need to consider that in screenprinting there really isn't any sort of opacity adjustment. Each color is printed individually, so for the halftone pattern to have the color effect you would need to ensure that there is no blending between the pattern used. A good way to test how your effect would be is to use layers and each layer would be a different color and with all layers visible and opacity set to 100% on the layer it would give you the screenprinting effect.
Submitting and Voting
- Could there be a potential for community voting to turn into a popularity contest?
Yes, to some extent. I see advantages and disadvantages to this approach. While there is the possibility for people to make negative comments, this is also intended to be a product that people can actually buy at the end of the process! It's very useful to know which designs are catching the imagination and interest of the players. If negative comments seems unreasonable or unsupported, they can always be ignored. We do ask for constructive criticism, not just criticism. (Thanks Apollo!)
Sizing
- When the new tees are printed will you be selling all Juniors, Adult and Plus sizes?
We'll be sure to select a print shop that offers a wide a range of sizes and cuts as possible.
