>>3712286Sorry - totally missed this.
I talked about this previously in the link
>>3703117 . I haven't submitted to shirt dailies in a while, but I used to quite a bit - especially The Yetee. I think the most I ever made from them was about $400, and the least was like $35 (the design totally bombed & wasn't very good.
You can upload everything you make to PoD sites (like Redbubble) while simultaneously submitting them to dailies. They can be a solid bit of additional income if you regularly do it, and you can submit the same designs to different sites after they're printed.
Regarding your design - I actually really like this, and I could totally see it being expanded to cover a wide variety of pop-culture characters.
A few thoughts:
+ The framing of this is odd, which is one of the reasons I suggest using shirt mockups while you work so you can see how it will fit. Ideally, you want the main part of your design to be outfitted on the chest. With this design, it actually starts at the very top of the top glowing orb, so the actual ice cream will be a bit lower than you might expect. I'd at least center the ice cream.
+ You might want to simplify the details and the colors of the stick. Remember - color count matters, and that stick alone is like 3 yellowish tones when it could be one (with the darker bits being half toned)
+ It's slightly too clean. I like the graphic look of it, but you might consider adding a little bit more texture & fidelity (maybe even a slight melt!) to really sell the ice cream look.
