Dammit!!!


That's a funny shirt though!

I had a thought, not looking to buy but you're welcome to the idea if you like it..

A double headed Tactical Squad arrow (common to Dark Angels) with "I'm With Alpharius" written above it.

You could even have the usual single, vertical, Tac arrow above it and the double below it.

Been super busy, and relatives have been coming and going for visits, school started for kids... blah blah.....

I branched out into some more general RPG/Gaming shirts.

Don't hesitate to pipe up!

Here's some of the newer ones:

D&D Survival - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075F4PCMD

D&D Arcana - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075F865P9

Black Widow - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075G4KF1R - totally not Battletech related..... maybe...It's just a spider shirt I swear

Bushido - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075H56KZV - I was looking at this game, got the idea. Now I need to start playing Bushido.

Defend the Frontier - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075H4WL5D - Last Starfighter

Yamato - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075HPRDW4 - World of Warships inspired, since I play and love my Yammy.

Adult Game Recommendations - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075HL1WS7 - who doesn't love a little double innuendo?

Aircraft Warnings - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075K67CDH - I thought it was funny when I made it...



I still have tons of slots to fill up, still working on more intricate shirts. Just tossing up what pops into my head and can be done quickly on the side.

Going pretty well though, selling a couple shirts a day of various designs. I hope this takes off so I can make it full time!

Thanks for though and comments as always!

Good luck with your business and the new shirts. I regret that none of them appeal. I would say (hopefully constructively) that if you have to TELL me that this is a funny shirt - it isn't... but - don't mind me.

It has to do with the search algorithm used by Amazon.

I'm not telling you it's funny, I'm telling the search engine via keyword so when someone types in "funny t-shirt" it gets a hit.

Gotta agree with Stroller. None of these shirts are appealing. They're all just clip art and hash-tags essentially. It'd be nice to see some genuine thought put into more of the shirts.

Better colours, better layout, etc. They just smack of lazy screen-printed t-shirts (which is fine if that's what you're going for). The majority of the shirts would get a "Ugh...that's rough" if I saw someone wearing them.

Again the shirts don't have to be busy to be attractive, but basic things like colour coordination, visual weight, spacing etc. are worth looking at. Now that I've said all that...people buy three-wolf-moon shirts...so I'm sure you'll do fine.

Yeah. These feel slapdashed together. Check the margins on the "human aircraft" one as just a single example. Of them all, I felt like it had the most potential (though I'd probably never wear it) but I'm put off by the fact that the center block margins are massive on the top and bottom, which is probably how some original graphic is, but the problem is that it leaves a paper thin spacing between the other graphics on the top and bottom. I have basically no knack for design myself (I've seriously been putting off building the damned CSS for this web site I'm working on right now for DAYS) but a fundamental feature that's always been a part of literally ANY design class I've had for ANYTHING is that you want your spacing and you want it consistent.

I understand those points, but as noted: "I still have tons of slots to fill up, still working on more intricate shirts. Just tossing up what pops into my head and can be done quickly on the side."

They are mostly something I ran across and chuckled, so shirted it really quickly.

As to the 3 Wolf... I know what you mean.

This - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0736GWLFT is my most purchased shirt selling over 30 since June when I filled out my first 10 slots.

I have NO idea why.

It just keeps selling.

The sad fact is, people like what they like and one of the things pounded into the heads of Merch sellers is... it's not what YOU like, it's what people buy.

I'd have all kinds of other stuff up, but I'm not trying to make shirts for me. It's why I come here and ask about stuff!
