Attack on Titan items

As promised it is finally here. I made my 100th store item my Attack on Titan hoodie that I had been working and waiting on for weeks now. I must say I'm quite pleased with the results, Having switched from a plain old green colour to a vintage green hoodie, I think its turned out pretty well. This one was going to go straight on sale but my other half pinched it the moment he saw it.

The design itself is a little tricky with my printing method as usually I have to do one colour at a time, unless I restrict the design to a4 size which I really didn't want to with this one. It means lining up everything and hoping it all still fits together after the material gets pulled and stretched. But I'm used to this sort of thing by now so luckily it was no problem :)

      

With the difficulty in mind I was playing around with some of the ideas I'd had for the print, I wanted to try and do the logo with a sort of bloodied up effect to make it a bit more interesting than some of the other t-shirt out there. And success, another Attack on Titan T-shirt addition to the range that I'm super happy with.

   

For something a bit more basic I also added in an Attack on Titan T-shirt with the scouting legion emblem printed as an outline on the front.

Really can't wait to see the next series, and the live action film I'm hoping will be amazing. If you havent watched the latest trailer you can see it here.

With AOT being such a popular anime and manga series, this is going to have to be done well. But it seems that already there are a lot of changes from the original manga. Either way, still can't wait.

I understand I've concentrated solely on the survey corps logo, mainly because it is the military division that the series is centered around, but if anyone wants to see the Garrison or Military Police logos done in similar styles then just say so!

Just Saiyan....

I have a lot of love for Dragonball Z, like many it was something I grew up with. So although its by far not the best anime out there, it will always be my personal favourite and every Dragonball related item I come across will always ignite a certain giddiness within me. I've even promised myself once I reach a certain goal I'll be purchasing this little item for my work desk.

So during the time I have been self employed I was able to download and watch every bit of Dragonball that is currently available. While peeling vinyl and cutting designs I've managed to make it though every episode and film, including GT. And like many fans out there I must say for me GT was god awful. 

Which is why I was quite happy to see Battle of the Gods seems to be set on a different story line, and I'm much looking forward to the new film Resurrection F, and of course the MMO - Dragonball Online Revelations

For any fans out there who haven't done their homework. Dragonball Z did have an online game which was somewhat similar to the Dragon ball Xenoverse that was recently released. At the time it was only available in I think Japan and Korea. If you knew what you were doing (thanks to the online guides and youtube vids provided) It was possible to download, and play in a very bad English translation. 

Now that's not to say the good people who translated it did a bad job, they actually did a brilliant job, its just that so little was translated by the time the game was closed, and using the google translate file for the whole game made it almost impossible to know what was really going on. 

But anyway, the wonderful people at Dragonball Online Revelations are slowly piecing together a private server and an English version of the game for all those who were sad to see it go. And I must ask that you please don't stop. I was worried that when Xenoverse was released all work on Revelations would come to an end. But I'm sure like myself, many of us still want to see DBO back up and running, even while we furiously click our way through the battles in Xenoverse for that Z rank. 

Anyways, back to clothing. Having finished GT I thought this was a brilliant time to bring back some of my Dragonball themed items. 

My Personal favourite for a good while now has been my capsule corp T-shirt. I'm not much of a T-shirt wearer, I really prefer vest tops. But this is still in my wardrobe even after all this time. 

So bearing in mind I much prefer to wear vest tops and zipped hoodies, I decided to make a Capsule Corp zipped hoodie. Complete with the logo on the shoulder. The midnight blue is currently only available in small and XXL, but once my supplier gets more stock of this colour I'll bring in the full size range for it.  

  

I've also added in the original women's capsule corp T-shirt and the men's capsule corp tshirt too in a selection of colours. The T-shirt will not feature the logo on the sleeve. Just because its too awkward to do!

Keeping in with the keep calm theme. (Because I'm sure most fans have tried to turn super saiyan at some point) I've also added a Keep Calm Super Saiyan T-shirt

The King Kai hoodie has been around here for a while, so I thought it time to introduce the Turtle Hermit hoodie. 

  

And for the last one, a design that was on Etsy but somehow hasn't made it anywhere else yet. Just because for some reason I keep losing the design images. Just Saiyan T-shirt, with the one and only Goku in SSJ 1 form. 

As I've just tweeted, this puts the shops number of products at 99! So that can only mean that number 100 has to be the Attack on Titan hoodie that has been promised for so long. The alternative green hoodie I chose arrives tomorrow, so it will be up this weekend :)

Shop updates

I's been a while since my last post, but I thought it was about time I put something together. New items have been delayed while I wait for my clothing supplier to get stock of the colours I want to use, so for now I've been updating the shop.

All items are now sorted into categories so things should be much easier to find, although sadly it makes my little shop look so empty! I will have to fix this.

Also some new photos will be available to give a better idea of how items turn out when printed. Bonanza seems to make a big deal over how you should have as many images as possible. So I've started to include some shots that show the true face of some of the items that have gold, silver and glitter prints.

Speaking of Bonanza, lots more of my items have been added to the Bonanza shop finally. Had a huge hiccup where Bonanza kept on reducing the postage price down by the exchange rate. For anyone who has this issue, switch your currency to dollars and all will be fixed ;)

Anyway I thought I would make a small announcement on whats coming up soon. As you may have seen on the facebook page I'm really looking forward to listing my Attack on Titan hoodie! Along with a T-shirt version featuring the scouts logo.

Dragonball Z capsule corp hoodie on the way, and I'm hoping to reintroduce some of my other DBZ based designs.

Pokemon! I have some photos now of the small collection of Pokemon T-shirts I had on Etsy, so I'll be bringing those back soon.

There is still lots more to get brought back into the shops, once my supplier sorts out their current issues anyway! But these are just the few I have lined up at the moment. Can't wait :)
