T-shirts by Mo, Episode 2




Another two t-shirt designs were created today. I'm really enjoying the process of building up the layers in a similar way to building the film in Adobe After Effects. Areas are masked off so I can apply new layers, such as the waves being masked so I can print Cranky over the top. It's interesting to notice the similarities between the two disciplines.

First, the waves are printed in dark blue.

These waves are then masked off and Cranky's silhouette is printed on top.

Cranky's details are printed on top of the silhouette, while the waves are still masked.

The mask is removed, revealing Cranky bobbing on the seascape. An adhesive layer of waves is the printed, ready for the copper foil to be applied.

The second design was much simpler, with the wave pattern printed in black followed by the adhesive for the copper foil.

Original printed fabrics were used as base textures for the animated film, such as Cranky's surface layer, and the imagery in the film is now being printed onto fabrics. These t-shirts are another example of cross-discipline design within my project

  1. These t-shirts look so awesome, with the images taken from your movie. They look really great and completely amazing. Great work Chloe. I must send in my spy, he has a beard and everything to complete the look.
