HELL'S KITTEN

Friday, July 30, 2004 2:16 AM

This is the first thread I've started here, so bear with me...oh, and sorry if this is the wrong place for it.

Okay, so. I've gotten a lot of feedback from folks here and there about the graphics for various Firefly replica t-shirts that I've made, so I finally decided to post a thread to see what interest there really is in these shirts.

I've only ever made these for myself using semi-crappy, yet kinda-sturdy, iron-on transfers. My brother's friend is in the marketing business and can put just about any graphic on any thing. If people are seriously interested in these shirts, I'm willing to contact this guy and get a quote on them. These would be real, high quality, silk-screened shirts.

The following are the shirts I've made so far.

Top row, left to right:
(1&2) Ning2jing4 "Serenity" - the new logo from the BDM. On back is written "No Power In The 'Verse Can Stop Me."
(3) Ping2jing4 "Serenity" - the old logo in the show from the side of Serenity herself.
(4) Wan2 Nao4 "Rowdy Play" or "Trouble Maker" (slang) - Jayne wore this shirt in "Jaynestown."

Middle row, left to right:
(1&2) A nearly exact replica of the shirt given out to the cast & crew; Adam's wearing it on the DVD during his song. The front has a picture of Serenity and the back has the new characters for "firefly."
(3) Qing1 Ri4 "Blue Sun" - the original Blue Sun logo as seen pretty much anywhere in the series.
(4) Qing1 Ri4 "Blue Sun" - same as above but on a tank top; Jayne wore this shirt in several episodes, including "Ariel" and "Bushwhacked."

Bottom row, left to right:
(1&2) Shui3 "Water" - Jayne wears this shirt near the end of "Serenity." The logo is actually on his left shoulder. This is the toughest shirt by far to make and doesn't photograph all that well.
(3) Yong3 "Soldier" or "Brave" - Jayne wears this in several episodes, including "Ariel" and "War Stories."
(4) Zhan4 Dou4 de Xiao3 Jing1 Ling2 "(the) Fighting Elves" - Jayne wears this shirt in several episodes, including "War Stories" and "Safe."

SO...if you would be interested in buying any of these, please post here (which one and how many) so I can get an idea of how many people would potentially place orders. I'm not lookin' to make money on this, I'm just lookin' to see if I'd get any help with the actual costs of printing.

Also, if you have any requests, feel free to post them here, too. I get bored quite frequently and am therefore more than willing to see what other graphics I can make up for shirts.

Cheery bye.

I would LOVE to get one of the Serenity shirts, doesn't matter which one really. Although I really like the one with the new version on it. :) Hmm...and maybe a Blue Sun one too...

Edit: Just to clarify, I'd want the new Serenity one. :) And is it possible to get a Blue Sun one on a white shirt like the one with the ship on it?

Blue Sun, of course (thanks for offering the original characters!), the Rowdy Play, and the Fighting Elves. Oh, and I like the new Serenity, but maybe without the quote on the back.

Ooo... So shiny!

I'd pay money for one of each in the middle row! (Maybe even two of #3, just so I can slash one. You know, cuz it looks better in red... )

Well, I'd better check the budget, first, but that's what I'm very interested in!

I've always been a huge fan of Jayne's choice in shirts. I would definitely order a "Rowdy Play", Blue Sun shirt, "Water", "Brave", and Fighting Elves" shirt.

Thanks!

I'd hit them with honour.

As you may remember, I've also been working on recreating Jayne's shirts, as well. . .so I'm torn between the pride of making my own, or the awesome shame of buying yours.

EDIT: Oh, and I'd be interested in any of the ones that Jayne actually wore. I'm surprised you were able to do the one on the shoulder. . .I could never even get a good shot of it to try and start.
