Pohatu Mata T-Shirt design! For a Highschool Silkscreen Project

[aphesium]

hey guys! i thought i'd share a recent highschool art project i just completed.

the idea was pretty much to create your own t-shirt design (which can be anything) to then use a silkscreen to print onto an actual piece of clothing.

i decided to do a design of my favorite toa, pohatu! here's the initial concept art i made:

and a practice print on a rag:

my first plan was to print it on a navy shirt in orange ink, but that didnt turn out so great unfortunately (the ink was too translucent to show on dark fabric).

since then i decided to print it in brown ink on this cream white hoodie and am really happy with the results. (i accidentally smudged the ink right after i took this photo but we don't talk about that 🥀🥀)

im thinking of maybe putting this design up on TeePublic and possibly doing similar designs of the other toa. what do you guys think?

Ooh, it looks fantastic! Really nice work

I'd love to see what you'd do for a Kopaka design in this style, especially ^^
