Recon and Armor are both available now.
What do y'all think of the Paras?
What should I work on next?

I've got an air force image that'll be up in a few days. I'd like to do a gladiator, as well as some napoleonic / civil war-era stuff, if folks have some photos they want to share for me to work on.
The 'Paras' one is great - definitely the best one IMHO.
I think we need a Navy shirt or two as well. Would love to see one with that wide-angle shot of a carrier battle group (that's been posted here once or twice).
I'll see if I can find a good naval image to work with. I'm getting there. There's a particular look I'm going for with these, so I'm being a little picky about what I'm looking for.
Meanwhile, y'all tell me what you think of this one - haven't decided if I want to put it on the site or not.

^I like it but maybe do something to the lettering in keeping with the theme of the shirt like you did for the recon and paras design.
Paras image is cool. Curious to see the gladiator you have. Some additional ancient-themed images would be cool...Spartans, Immortals, etc.
My question is why hasn't LB been in this thread screaming for a zombie shirt :)
Or even better a 'GrogHeads Zombie Outbreak Response Team' t-shirt.
Didn't he want that 1st Zombie Recon tank image done as a shirt?
Don't have any good ancients images - that's why I was asking for what people had
Here's the naval one. Not sure how many more I'll do with this motif. Maybe 2-3 more. Starting to wear a little thin on me.

I have made it and saved it but for some reason it's not in the store. Blame the Art Monkey.
It was in the store. Art Monkey figured people didn't want 1.15" high images on their shirts when everything else in the store was 6-7" high. We'll recreate it at some point.

Sorry, I thought I remade a bigger image in there. At least on the back.
I like the Hunter image, but the font needs work.
Will there be a Marine one?
The naval one is great. Would it be possible to add a small GH logo somewhere on those images? If I'm wearing something that cool, it'd be nice to have a little GH love as part of it.
First Air Force entry, and a rework of the "hunter" image...
Comments and thoughts?

Right now, "recon" and "armor" are the only 2 loaded into the store.
Based on comments today, I'll load others tomorrow.
Right now, the plan will be
Recon
Armor
Paras
Power... Projected
Interceptor
If I can get the "hunter" one to where I'm happy with it, it'll go next.
I suspect these will become a new section of the store beyond just shirts, so that we can use this image on other things, like notebooks or mugs, if people want.
Is that the Euro strike fighter? Doesn't look like USAF issue.

Loving it. Nice job, chief.
I second
mirth, by the way: Would love to see a GH logo somewhere on there if possible.

Yes. Best image I had to work with.

Let me see what I can do. I'll be rebuilding that whole section soon in the GH store.
here's one more for now

the plan is to redo the military images section of the store to provide (a) consistent product options for all images, and (b) to get the GH info on the images.
Look for that to happen after the weekend, and to get the other images loaded.
What do y'all think of the redone "Jäger" image / typography?
man - I thought the "zombie" one would get at least 1 comment... oy! Is it that bad?
I like it. But if you slap the word "zombie" on almost anything you'll turn my head.
The zombie one is cool but what is the blue stuff behind him suppose to be?
As far as the Jäger image, IMHO I like the image but the lettering still looks to "clean" compared to the image.

Lightning
didn't want to re-use the camo motif - it was getting old

Lemme see what I can do
Brant, if you're still thinking of an Ancients design, how about this.
A hoplite's head (that is peering out of a Corinthian helmet, probably to the side for visual balance) and under it the inscription from the Thermopylae monument.
"Traveller, if you pass by our homeland,
Do tell the Spartans that faithful to our word,
Here we lie.
Loyal,Even unto death."
You could put Thermopylae and the date on the back, put both on the back, or Thermopylae in front under the helmet and the inscription on the back.
Sure, get me the base image to work from. Minimum 800x800 resolution, and I can take it from there

He needs a base image to start with. That's part of the problem. If you have an image (that you own the copyright to or is open source) of a hoplite's head, that gets us pretty far down the road.
Will see what can be found, but if you're relying on me don't hold your breath.

That's all of our problems.
I can go out and take a photo of my fat ass holding a shotgun looking for zombies, but it probably won't be cool enough to sell. However, we want all this to be legally correct, so hijacking someone else's images isn't kosher.
And so on and so forth...
There are some things that can be done that don't violate copyrights. It's a longer discussion than we need to have in an open forum.
Suffice to say, I can do a LOT, but I need images to work from. What I've been working from are my own collection of stuff, and there's not a lot of ancient / medieval / anything-other-than-contemporary/modern in there.
Brant, forgive my ignorance.
Was thinking of seeing what may be in some really old works on ancient warfare.
My understanding is that if older than 75 years, they are considered out of copyright?
If I can scan them, is 800dpi the resolution you need? Or does the 800 refer to size in this case?
I'll PM you
I must check and see what images I have - I have boxes of photos I took when running CombatCanada - jets, tanks, small arms, etc.....

^ Brant, I think you broke him.
But at least we know he's a Cylon.
it's a glitch in the Matrix. They changed something. Make sure your doors all still go somewhere
If you slap a picture of LB fighting zombies on a shirt I will buy a gross of them.

Nope. But I do smell burnt toast.
