This one I'd buy immediately, if and when available

Should I design some more in this style?

(Unfinished and yes I know about the mistakes)

I'd also love to see a cody/dc design in a dark matrix/cyber/hacker style like:

Criticize, correct or suggest away. I'm not 'sensitive'.

Dark Cody.

My understanding is that the design should have few colors

Not entirely true...

Cafe Press, which is where the DC mugs and T-shirts come from, does great full color printing. The only real issue is the color white on most things that have a base color. Instead of coming up white, it lets the color of the item show through. I have a gray sweat jacket with the left half of this Cody image on it (from 2008), and everything that is white, including Cody, is gray.

@app103
Thanks. I could make any next designs using pale yellow or something. Others are doing a better job. I have only owned two, plain dark green sweat shirts and know almost nothing about them

Cody and highly suspect genealogy.

Just for fun.

what did you draw that one with?

sword · « **Reply #40 on:** August 22, 2012, 07:38 PM »

@tomos
Photoshop. One color, a warm orange-brown (226 - 199 - 115). Layers: 40% transparent line sketch above a couple of layers for lighter and darker 'washes' and above a mid-tone fill layer. The 'washes' were about 15% to 30% transparent blurry edge brushes. It is fast to do. Daumier liked combining ink, charcoal and transparent watercolor for a fresh 'sketch' look.

I really, really like this! Did you draw it with a mouse?

sword · « **Reply #43 on:** August 23, 2012, 03:30 AM »

Thanks. I'm glad you both liked it. More to come. Drawn with a two-button mouse, Logitech model M-CAA42.

Sword, if you make a Cody image that is 1662x600 pixels, I will have a mug made and sent to you. You can have it say whatever you want.
