Thank you for the info, ginnysister.

Alright, so I want to renew my sponsorship, since it expired today. Unfortunately, they have not fixed the paypal account, yet. I've already written to Darius, so I'm hoping this gets resolved soon. My husband is adding the money to our checking account later on in the day. I'm hoping somehow there is another way to renew this, since I intend to be a sponsor, for the rest of my time, on here.

P.S. I HATE those flipping ads! :)

Next.......not perfect

Colors do not really bother me although the magenta nose seems a bit stark.

First thing to consider is how you plan to produce the shirt.

Right now, for silkscreen, I see the need for these five screens: Yellow, Orange, Magenta (nose and shading on body of the cat), Black and Gray. Perhaps you could combine the whiskers with black eyes screen. Anyhow, a four or five color screen printed shirt will be expensive---somewhat less so if you learn to do it yourself. Not a bad idea for prototyping if tshirt design is part of your future. It can be rather fun too. There is probably a screen printing or more fine arts oriented serigraphy group meeting in your area. Most are usually more than wiling to help out newbies.

DTG (Direct to Garment) printing is a process not unlike inkjet printing on paper but with dyes to fabrics. Printed colors are made up of the same CMYK dots. DTG is somewhat less intense color than silkscreen but is very inexpensive. Colors printed tend to look more transparent and do not have the saturation that silkscreen colors do. Color is absorbed into the fabric more so than with silkscreen inks that tend to be more opaque. Usually there are no minimums since there are no screens or real set-up. Around here a basic, decent weight tshirt DTG printed runs around $6. Costs go up for larger or kid sizes, women's cuts, beefier all cotton, etc.

In the case of your design, I would think about printing a layer of white behind everything to be printed on the green. This will keep the color of the shirt from skewing the dye color perception. It will add a couple dollars to the shirt cost though and not all places doing DTG can print white layers.

Hope this helps. You will want to be sure an adapt your design to the size screen press used or printing capacity of the DTG machine. In the latter case, most ask you to hover around a maximum print area of 12 inches square or so. Best to ask in either case though.
