Hello people!
It's been a while since I've posted a real thing, so here goes:
I'm working on a t-shirt, and am running into a couple of problems. First off, I think it's either going to be a sand or silver grey shirt, as demonstrated below...
or
However, my real problem is in the palette. I definitely want the orange and the blue, as they are good references to the show. The yellow just makes sense in context, but I'm having a real hard time getting the colors to work on the shield. So I've just painted it all orange and left it like that for a while. I've just gotten back on the project, and I need some fresh eyes.
What do you guys think?

I would consider liniting how many colours you want to use just incase.
Also, just wanted to say viva Arrested Development, and this is a great, in-joke riddled crest. The chicken is my favorite touch. Koo-koo-ka-chaw!
Yeah, this is going to be a Threadless submission, but you guys give waaaay better critiques.
I was originally going to go for a different shade of orange, but this is the same one that they use in the show. I'm still torn on whether it's the best for this shirt.
I'll work up another couple variations on the sand color, and we'll see where it goes.
other than that, I always prefer non-white tees and would go for the sand. This is pretty much the best AD tee I've ever seen, though, so I hope it gets printed.
Whoa.
.....Mister F....
I also like the first color better, though I'd rather it a bit darker.
But that's just me!
Lucille: I need a favor.
Michael: We ought to put that on our family crest.
Man, this design has reignited my AD fandom. This needs to happen.
Also let us know if it get's through cause I'll totally buy the hell out of it.

Yeah, I was feeling the runner might be an alternative, but wasn't really sure if a continuous strip would work as well.
Seems to work pretty well though.
Changed the bottom to white to bring it out, reduce the amount of brown.
I also think something needs to offset the dog house. I played with coloring the pieces of the banner orange, but it doesn't really work. I tried a paint splot, just to have something filling in the space on the bottom right around the banner, but it didn't fit the overall design.
Is there some inherent benefit to being a part of that collection? Are the profit margins and recognition nice?
That's not a smartass question, I'm genuinely curious as to why you're looking to them instead of self printing such an awesome shirt?
Well, you need to consider the logistics of getting a silk screening kit together, setting up an online store to sell your t-shirt design and then getting the word out there that you have an awesome design that everyone should buy. It's not quite as easy as self publishing a web comic.
From a realism point of view I'd make the side pannel just below the windows blue. the part currently painted is typically under water, it doesn't make much sense to paint it blue.
The other thing would be to bring out the shield a bit more - make the edge more visible. Right now it seems too melted into the background.

Yep, no one has ever painted the bottom of a boat blue before
These were all in the first two pages of google image results for "boat paint"
Hiking Essentials
I've reversed the blue, fixed the coloration on the shield, added a little more detail, and tried to balance the colors more by fading the yellow. I also decided to keep the boat bottom black. (Sorry, Nappuccino.)
Further thoughts before I submit this to TeeFury? (Threadless is a little iffy on the copyright thing, and I can keep the rights once it's been sold out on TF - I am open to suggestions, though, since I rarely design shirts.)
Other than that, fantastic. Link when this shirt goes live. I'd also buy it.
Same here, a bit of blue on the right will complete this masterpiece, in my opinion. Definitely hope this gets printed :^:
I just submitted it to TeeFury, so we'll see what happens!
And like I've said before: The brown and orange are pretty asymmetrical as well, so that makes me a little more comfortable with the blue being asymmetrical as well.
TeeFury might want to change the colors up a bit anyhow, so we'll see.
Ha!
Also, good news. The design has been accepted, so I'll post on here when it's going live.
Thanks for all your help, people. Truly, the PA:AC is the best AC.
As promised, I'm letting you know when the shirt is going on sale at TeeFury. It's tomorrow, April 7th, for one day only. As you can see, they changed the design a bit (such as making the shirt yellow and removing Tobias' smudge :?) Here's their final design:
For those that still want the original design, I'll be selling it on RedBubble pretty shortly thereafter.
Thanks for all your critiques and help on this one!
