T-shirt back finished

Yay finally some decent shading! *does happy dance* So I've found that cell shading is my new best friend, the only particularly difficult thing is finding the right colors and making sure the lines are crisp. I changed the lines to brown because I thought the black looked a bit too drastic in the end. Ah the lines were annoying to do. I ended up having to re-scan the image and trace over all the lines (which took forever) because they had all faded during the coloring process. I have a feeling I'll be adding more to this, but I'm not sure. Now I just need to finish the front and sleeve design.

This would be the sleeve design. I'm not sure what to do for the front yet.. maybe something with the explosion to tie everything together. Hmm well, I'll have to get started on that next.

I like this.
I think the switch to brown is a good choice, although it may have driven you more than a little crazy.
The shading works well.
The color choices are nice.
You will have to submit it to Mrs. Lipps for approval before it is printed (that's the rule) but I don't foresee any problems.
Maybe the explosion could have an additional color like blue in it...
Will it be printed on white?
Wonderful job 'Z!lla :-)

...one more comment:
They might not like the belly showing...
We'll see how that goes.

Yeah, I figured there might be something about the bellow, but it isn't obscene or anything so maybe they'll let it pass. Do I have to give it to Mrs. Lipps this year? Last year it was a new lady it'd be so much simpler if it was Mrs. Lipps.
The T-shirt may be cream colored to work with the rest of the browns. I'm going to the printing store friday will the pictures to choose a color and get the price. ^^

Oh and I got a postcard in the mail today about a leadership council meeting. Hopefully all my questions about meeting times and other such things will be answered there.

yep! No doubt the leadership council will answer all that stuff.
Yes Mrs. Lipps okays the design, unless they've changed that. The other lady (Mrs. Colleen I-forget-right-now) does the ordering through the spirit wear shoppe. So Mrs. Lipps first, then when ok'd, the spirit wear lady.
They might let the belly pass, but just in case, be ready to make some slight adjustments. You know how that goes.... we've had to do that before.
Make a list of your questions to take to the meeting. I hate when I get there and then forget.
And you're right. It isn't obscene.
