I've always loved Kitsune masks and the other day I realized my logo has the basic architecture of one. So this weekend I tried to turn my logo into one. Still needs work, but I think I'm on to something! Would be cool to have a nice kitsune version of my logo and then a mascot/character as well.

I also realized the kanji for Kitsune kind of has the shapes of an M and J too! 😅

The fox structured around my logo ended up not cutting it for me. I liked the concept, but execution just wasn't there and I just couldn't get it to look good enough. It was a fun exercise though and led me to end up here. Not sure what I will do with these, but there's definitely room for more exploration and still want to attempt to make an illustrative mascot.

Screen printed another shirt design over the weekend. Until now I've been only using water-based inks which I love the look and feel of, but tried plastisol for the richer colors. Also working with 2-3 colors this time (depending on the shirt color). Happy with how this one came out.

Still not sure how I plan to shoot my shirts for the store photos. This one was just quickly thrown together with a single light just to see if I want to lay them flat on the ground (I'll attempt to remove most of the wrinkles when I take final photos.)

@mark Even with an iron and Photoshop, the wrinkles are super hard to get out. Let me know if you figure out a good way of doing that!
@thecriterion I don't expect perfection, otherwise I'd probably try and render the shirts in 3d with textures. That's probably the way to go honestly. 😅
@mark You’re probably right! I’ve resorted to using the shirt vendor’s photos and dropping the design on them. Otherwise it looks like super amateur-hour
