Dana Jean - there is a design like Brian's on Zazzle which has blood splatter behind one of the mallets/ also one that has blood splatter in the middle- it may be do to artistic copyright laws that the blood can not be used.

Brian does have "the shine"in the center. This is only the back of the tee/ the front will have the room key with blood dripping from it.
Oh, very good! Maybe the images should be reversed?? I'd have to see it all finished up.

Okay, JMO and no disrespect as I know how much work goes into this designing stuff, but to me, this shirt looks like a Polo match. I would want something a little more graphic and in my face Stephen King.

It's ok Dana, speak freely... Let's get this right. How can we add a bit of dark flavor that works with the mallots? Marsha?

BTW: It's supposed to look preppy stupid. ;;D

For me, it's the color of the mallets that isn't ringing true. They should look more like wood and have different bands of color--the ones in the other picture with one yellow and one green are more like the mallets I'm used to seeing.

Yes, the yellow and green colors. Maybe think of the mallets as a tree branchs- grain added, of even smudges, like burnt ashes rubbed on the what Brian has ( think fire at hotel )

Gonna work on the realism of the mallets. Will report back soon.
...Dude these are quite simply friggin' awesome!...I agree with the suggestion on the mallets, the key is perfect and leave the SKMB "graffiti"...actualy a spray paint font, on the SKMB piece would give it that Bango Skankish je ne sais quoi...this is great work man....

yes, wood grain, a little more battered looking, smudgy. They just look too pristine.

Hey Everyone,

At the link below you will find the design for the back of the shirt. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or changes. Also, I included a secondary version that has a tag line. I used "SKMB for life" as a good example. You guys can decide on the tag if you wish or we can leave it out.

I'm working on the front of the shirt now.

I thought the same thing. It's gorgeous, but too clean. Polo or croquet. I wonder if we could add a spattering of blood as well. We need to take our medicine, after all.
