Oh, my bad. sorry about that.

Yeah, companies WILL get rid of them. They got rid of my shirt that had my game designs on it. The GAMA shirt because it had a GIR sprite on it.

Here's the thing about shirtmaking.

Ironons are cool for white shirts. For black shirts, you will have to get an iron-on that is black, and that kind of works, but it will make a different-colored black rectangle in the shape of the paper, on the black shirt. It's not too good.

I've also tried having someone screenprint a black shirt for me. Same effect.

The only way to make truly great black shirts is to pay someone who has a "direct to garment printer", and since those machines are tens of thousands of dollars, it'll be hard to find someone who has one. Those people/websites that do have one will be expensive. Ever tried making a black shirt on cafepress? It's the same price as a hot topic shirt. That's why.

I know a guy that would do direct to garment shirts for me personally, and since I know him, he'll do single shirts for me for 15 dollars each, and that's the cheapest I've found. If I give him a bulk order (say 20 of you want them), he'll give me a couple of bucks off of each shirt, probably.

And you guys don't need to worry about the illegality of shirt-making. It's your art, and garment-selling is very casual business, so no one will go after you for selling copyrighted characters to a few people. Especially if you make no money off of it, which you won't. The only one making money will be the shirtmaker.

So let me know if you want to use the shirtmaker guy I know.

This whole thing sounds neat! I might give it a go... although it would probably have to be colored by someone else since I'm not too good at that just yet. But I've got a neat idea, so... yeah. I'll post it when I'm done - it'll be done traditionally, but since it'll be scanned the whole coloring part shouldn't be too hard, right? Or heck, it could even work as a concept, since knowing me I'll probably fail hardcore at it haha. JOINT EFFORT GO!

Are front and back designs okay? How about designs that go around the side?

And that sounds like a good idea, Swiblet! I'd sign up for that deal for sure! :D

Also: Love the design Miranda! But I dunno... kind of sounds like I'm the only person who feels this way, but it doesn't seem too... t-shirty to me. Again, this is just my opinion, but it looks like something better suited to a poster or something like that. No offense or anything is meant, of course... just my two cents :3

Edit of the day: got a rough sketch done... and have officially realized how much I fail at the IZ style. SO unless anyone feels like collaborating on this one, looks like I'm out of the running. Although it would be neat to see... it fits with the atmosphere of Zim and everything, and that's always a good thing, right?

Anyway, I'll scan and upload it. I've got two versions... which are the same aside from Dib. One has him falling over and one has him aiming some gun thing at Zim. So... yeah. Uploads shall be coming later today. :)

@Slert: I would love to collaborate with you for this. I'm not getting any ideas myself for the shirt, but I can draw IZ style pretty good.
PM me either here or on my DA (http://chronosabyss.deviantart.com/) if you're still interested. :bounce:

at zazzle.com you can make shirts for groups for a cheap cheap price! Check it out! http://www.zazzle.com/cr/bulk/order . The black shirts are pretty cheap if you buy it in a bulk.

Front only:
12 shirts = $10.65 each
25 shirts = $8.52 each
50 shirts = $7.14 each
100 shirts = $5.32 each
etc

Front and back:
12 shirts = $11.70 each
25 shirts = $9.36 each
50 shirts = $7.84 each
100 shirts = $5.85 each
etc

We will get free shipping and handling but all the shirts will go to one location... So the buyers have to pay for the shipping and handling because the person who is going to receive all the shirts have to send them to the buyers. I think this is a good deal.

Copyright issues and content guidelines:
I don't know if we can print our designs or not so here is a couple links with some copyright and content guideline stuff.

Pending collab between me and Chronos, but I figured I'd post the concept here for anyone who wanted to take a look see. I think it fits with the Zim atmosphere and plot quite nicely, although since I still haven't gotten word back about designs that go from front to back I don't know if it would be acceptable.

Either way... http://randominuyasha.deviantart.com/art/IZFAS-shirt-concept-187113844

I really like the idea of either ordering from Swiblet's friend or doing the bulk order from Zazzle, they both seem like good deals! I just don't want to have to do an iron on, those things never last long or look very good. :/ I also really like Miranda's design, I think out of all of them, that is my favorite. I like the words "the invasion continues" it sounds pretty cool! :P
