This includes stuff like Jeff's rendition of the Dad 'n Me skull mask on a t-shirt (come on that's obvious), the official logo plopped on a shirt, Jeff's flaming "Newgrounds.com" text plopped on a shirt, etc.

And we are also deleting a lot of submissions because we want to encourage sincere efforts here!

oh that's cool. i assumed by looking at most of the entries that the winner would have some form of tankmen and the NG logo on it... but knowing that only original artwork can get cash is good ;) sooo many tankmen submissions, heh. contest is coming along nicely so far... happy to know stamper liked my shirt, teehee. will make some more after work today ;)

frankly, id encourage people to NOT do tankmen for a variety of reasons. foremost, Id like to see some actual DESIGNS, not just a dude with a word bubble above his head sloppily put in the middle of the shirt.

god dammit, just looking through the threads I think I need to make something alittle more clear.

ONLY

FOUR

COLORS

think only 4 bottles of ink you can print with. black and white count as 2 seperate colors, 4 shades of red for example counts as 4 colors.

I could list 50 other issues, but instead im going to go to wawa and buy a bagel and coffee and forget I ever started this god forsaken contest

carry on :)

well, we're not magicians, so we'll need the vector art to hand over to the printers. they only take vector.

...hmmm i wonder how many shirts are actually even gonna get picked, we're gonna have to wait and see how many awesome submissions we get i suppose :0

thats true.

I made a variant of one of your T-shirts, instead of a happy clock face saying "Lol" I have an angry clock face saying "STFU!"

Tell me if I am breaking any rules which I am sure I am probably.

you're not breaking any rules, but i can guarantee you a lot of the artists here are going to actually try, therefore having a better chance of winning.

Yeah :(. But one question, are we allowed to submit multiple entries? Because I rushed it and I hate rushing things.

PS. I think you should make that as an NG T-shirt anyways, don't give me credit.

yes, submit as much as you want.

in most contests, we only award one prize per person, but if one of you have a bunch of totally amazing designs, we MIGHT use more and pay you more, but that's not my call to make.

Just draw a picture and post it in the art thread..

Johnny, would shading (same color, just shaded) count as one of the four colors?

red and dark red are two different colors. they require two different ink mixtures...so yeah. you can draw the illusion of "shading", but it still counts.

I'll double check, but I think that would be ok.

if i wasnt clear - photoshop art will not pass. photoshop isnt vector art.

NOBODY USE ANYTHING BUT FLASH OR ILLUSTRATOR.

ALSO, DO NOT POST COMMENTS HERE. THIS THREAD IS ONLY FOR ART.

POST HERE IF YOU GOT COMMENTS

anything drawn in flash or illustrator.

or the bigger explanation -
art thats drawn with mathematically calculated curves that's infinitely scalable with no image degradation LMAO

I dun wanna violate whatever copyright lawls you might've put up.

you can depict any and all newgrounds characters/graphics, as we'll be selling it.

just dont go entering it into any other shirt contests OK?

it must be vector art.

dont worry, the new store coming soon TOTALLY takes care of that.

Do you like Newgrounds? Do you like shirts?

Great, go DESIGN ONE, and win some cash along with its inclusion into our store!

We're giving you all until Monday, October 22 to get your designs in.

GO GO GO.

ART CONTEST: Newgrounds Themed Shirt Design

RULES:

- Create a shirt design to be sold in the Newgrounds Store with a NEWGROUNDS THEME to it.

- Only design the front of the shirt.

- Your design MUST BE VECTOR FORMAT. Download the flash (.fla) template below.

- You can only use 4 COLORS with your design. Screen printing has it's limitations, but it also makes for a cleaner design. You can also use the color of the shirt as the unoffical 5th color. (ex. you make a face with 4 colors, but the tounge can be the red fabric of the shirt)

- Post your design in the art thread on one of the selected shirt colors in the template. You can use my example below or some variation. Just make sure we know the shirt color and clearly see your design.

-If you have a winning design, you need to provide us with your art in vector format. Don't post any links to it in the art thread, we'll contact you for it.

With the new store launching soon, what better time to stock up on some TOTALLY SWEET new shirt designs. It's important to note your entries must be Newgrounds themed. That basically means if somebody familiar with newgrounds were to see you swaggering down the street with this shirt on - they would know it's a newgrounds shirt. Tanks, Tankmen, destroyed cityscapes, orange sunbeams, pico, angryfaic, something to do with the flash or audio portal, etc.

Obviously, there's a grey area here and we want you to get creative, so if you have a design you're not sure is "newgrounds" enough you can post a rough in the discussion thread for approval.

There's a bunch of online shirt stores with clever designs so feel free to look em up for inspiration, but for the love of god don't steal or heavily "BORROW" any because you will be ostracized if you do.

All comments or works in progress HERE.

DOWNLOAD TEMPLATE HERE.

(max size for image submissions are 595x700 pixels)

PRIZES:

1st Place:
Your design printed for a limited run
3 free shirts in your design, in the sizes of your choice.

2nd Place and below:
$200 for any additional designs we decide to run with.

THE DEADLINE IS MONDAY, OCTOBER 22.
That's it. GO GO GO
