I know that Zazzle and CafePress support this. Not sure who else does. It'd be a prereq, as I prefer dark T-shirts myself.

Which begs the question- opinions on T-shirt printing services? I only know names- Zazzle, cafepress, etc. I've only ever had one shirt printed and that was solid-color artwork. I have utterly no idea what a detailed photo like this will look like. Any real-world advice from anyone?


Also, bear in mind that I'm starting with really lo-rez source material. It's entirely possible that this will look like **** when blown up to chest size.

I was actually wanting to avoid sayings like the one on the kittyturbo shirt, but I guess it merits a vote.

Any other opinions on a slogan? I named the image TurboFairy while I was working on it. Not sure if that's something worth using.


Ok, how's this one look? (This is just a proof- I haven't merged it or blended the edges yet.)

Also, on the logo, are we all in favor of the current flamboyant one? Does pink clash with green and titanium?

If somebody has a higher-rez source (or a picture of the hot lesbian from the other thread in a Tinkerbell costume) I'd be happy to try it.

Tried it, doesn't look right to me:

However, after looking through hundreds if not thousands of pictures of ugly people trying to be Tinkerbell (and a surprisingly large number of Rule 34s), I finally found the original image from that poster, which is of much higher quality:

Now, can we find a higher-rez version of the turbine wheel?

Google image search for "sexy tinkerbell" and see how long you scroll through pictures.

Ok smart guy, you go find the original.

It's 9:12pm pacific time. The clock is running.

^ This. Turns up a hell of a lot of weird ****, believe you me. Ever wonder if Rule 34 applies to Maggie Simpson? It does. (How this relates to Tinkerbell is beyond me.)

The slogan is good lol.

I've got a copy of Alien Skin Blowup which works better than Photoshop for enlargements IMHO. If the new images are not big enough to print clearly, then feel free to send over a copy of the final layout and I'll massage it.

Progress. I started over with the higher-quality originals I found. Here's where we stand at the moment:

The black is just a background layer to test how the edges of the wheel are looking. Quite a lot of work to do there yet.

I'm still not real happy about her left foot, but there just wasn't much to work with in the source...

I didn't mean the image was of poor quality, I just meant it's funny that you sifted through all the questionable images that come up for any period of time. Nothin' but love Joe, nothin' but love.
