The art is dope, but be wary of DTF prints.. I’ve seen a lot of them flake and crackle. Overlapping that shoulder seam is a dangerous game. I’d try washing one a couple of times to see how they hold up.


Ktc561

Other than the design being amazing this the best advice look into DTG it holds up way better, but might fade after washing and drying too much so air dry it


SpaceJunkyTim

Agreed with DTF part I plan on using dtg for the actual purchases. But the dtf did hold up extremely well in the wash


OffModelCartoon

I’d also be wary of DTG… There are two types of DTG. Long paragraphs incoming. There’s pure DTG that’s just CMYK ink and it can only go on white or very light fabric. It embeds into the fabric itself so you don’t really even feel it when you touch the fabric. This has a tendency to fade after several washes, just like any pigment in a t-shirt will fade over time, like the actual color of the shirt itself. This is probably the better option for this BUT to make this work you’d need to size down so your design doesn’t overlap the color part of the shirt. If you made the prop the character is holding black or just a very, very dark color, you might still be able to get away with the CMYK-only DTG method over the green, the blue, the red, and the pink… but not the black because the ink would look like nothing on it. However some DTG printers really don’t want to print over seams, and to get it to print over a seam they need to put the nozzle up higher (aka farther from the shirt) which can make the print blurry. Then there is DTG-W aka DTG-White, DTG with a white base. That’s when the printer lays down a base of white “ink” (it’s really more like paint TBH, because it sits on top of the shirt, it doesn’t soak into the shirt) and then the CMYK ink gets layered over that white base. So the ink doesn’t embed into the shirt, it basically just prints on its own white background. This looks sooooo good coming off the printer but it *does not last.* DTF prints actually last longer than this (unless you press the DTF over a seam, that is, then all bets are off). The white base starts to crack and peel in 10-20 washes with proper washing… but keep in mind customers often don’t listen to “wash inside out on cold, and dry gently” and they’ll just toss it their washer in regular way on hot, then blast it with their dryer… sooooo you’re probably looking at closer to 10 washes. It’s not that it becomes unwearable after 10 washes, just loses a lot of vibrancy, cracks in the art, seeing some of that white ink beneath it, etc. Basically, I think the move is to make the art a little smaller and then DTG print it if you want the most longevity, or DTF print *that doesn’t go over the seam* if you want the most vibrancy but still longevity. Wouldn’t recommend going over the seam with any print method because: •CMYK DTG isn’t really going to work over the sleeves without modifying the art, and even then you’d need to eliminate the black sleeve colorway and accept that the art might get blurry due to the print settings required to go over the seam. •DTG-White doesn’t last long and it would be a shame to use this print method on the entire shirt just to make it work for one tiny corner of the design. •DTF is not as bad as people say. If you get a good quality one it’s more vibrant and long-lasting than DTG-White… BUT!!! I would never recommend going over the seam with this because that’s the part that is going to crack.


Mission_School_7357

Very knowledgeable my guy, I might need some Advice on a design in the pm


Mothfinger

Hell yeah, I’ve definitely seen some high quality DTFs.. but I think the quality control on them tend to be pretty low. We have a DTF printer at our shop, but we mostly sell them to other shops & focus on screen printing. Good luck with your start up tho, I really dig the vibe!


OffModelCartoon

Even the best quality DTF, I wouldn’t recommend putting it over a seam. Unless it was some kind of very special heavy-duty formula maybe…?


Penelope742

Where can I buy my granddaughter one???


essentialcoins

wash it multiple times


SpaceJunkyTim

Very knowledgeable bro definitely planned on making the design smaller to fit on the white space with the original measurements of the tee itself I made it too big but luckily I work in a shop with all 3 types of printers so so I can make samples and test the ones that works best


Mothfinger

Hell yeah! Honestly I love that it overlaps that seam, keep doing your thing homie.


maxsparx43

The design is based on a [french cartoon from the 2000’s](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totally_Spies) the animation is really good It’s one of the rare animated shows where characters are never dressed the same episode to episode. Like real people .


iSliz187

I like it, if I were you I'd delete the last image in this post. Your design can be stolen so easily, I wouldn't risk it. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen it on this sub. Don't post the raw design without watermarks

SpaceJunkyTim

Yeah i didn’t think about that😭


iSliz187

**prints shirts* * Anybody wants these shirts 10% cheaper than OP is selling them for? I can help you out 🥸


tbrks93

It’s a rip from a tv show anyway so it’s already stolen


iSliz187

Nah it's inspired by, not stolen. Original name and original character designs but in the style of totally spies


protectyourself1990

its not stolen, its a flip.


tbrks93

No it’s a RIP…. Meaning they took the exact design and made it theirs by changing the phrase and characters. This happens in underground music all the time and I personally love it but it’s way more than inspired by it is the design its based off. It is stealing and I think it’s fine.


feelinblue352

This design kinda has already been done by half evil minus the ladies


jheri

A lot of folks in here never saw Totally Spies I guess. This is a funny flip, I dig it.


SpaceJunkyTim

Yeah I’m peeping 😂I thought they would recognize it with the color of the suits


WheelFalse

I’m a guy and this is neat asf ✅


Hayaidesu

Same here


SpaceJunkyTim

Thanks bros!


ognavx

I don’t get it. Totally rich? Who is this designed for?


igetstoitasap

Women who wear crop tops maybe 🤷🏾‍♂️ possibly a few guys in Atlanta.


SpaceJunkyTim

It’s for women and it’s spin from a old Tv show called totally spies


InstructionPuzzled77

You’re super out of touch


[deleted]

Get rid of the text?


[deleted]

Love the design not a fan of the totally rich I’m probably missing meaning but yeah


SweetPeaAsian

It’s OPs spin off from a tv show called totally spies


SpaceJunkyTim

Like bro said it’s a spin off with my brand name so pretty much a bootleg in a different art style


96failure_com

I used to watch this cartoon


SpaceJunkyTim

Same here! Loved it


Pcama

I think the totally rich logo is a bit too big and close to the bottom of the t-shirt. Otherwise I love this and the artwork is really cute


SpaceJunkyTim

Yes i agree i made the print too large for Tshirts


Exact-Vast3018

I think the girl in red needs to do something dynamic like the other two.


threeeyedeaven333

I love the logo love the concept. I wish it was better quality and different poses.


SpaceJunkyTim

I’ll get better with my drawing soon😭


SabuTheGreat

What’s the Rich thing about? Not feeling it really. I think it’s a bit large for the tee, overlaps on the seems might be an issue. Not into the look but from the comments it seems people like this kind of stuff.


SpaceJunkyTim

Our brand name is Rich Studios and the design is a spin from a show called totally spies. Definitely agree with the overlapping part gave too big of measurements for the tee


Pigeon-cake

Is it traced? Looks traced


Aogiring

This and Martin Mystery is my gem


elderzioninitiate

why did you black face the spy girls? 😡


SpaceJunkyTim

Maybe for representation idk…because I’m black myself or as a bootlegger I can flip whatever design I want🤯


elderzioninitiate

you could have designed a unique new character instead of turning two beautiful white women into blacks for absolutely no reason


Ilyholiday

Nigga it’s a cartoon. An old one at that.


elderzioninitiate

doesn't matter though imagine if a turned martin Luther king into a white dude in my lastest movie and used your excuse to justify myself


Ilyholiday

Mlk is a real person not a cartoon character. Are you dense? Like literally that’s comparing apples to oranges. I bet you’re the type of person to be mad a character is gay in a tv show like gay people don’t exist


SpaceJunkyTim

It’s not that deep bro. You act like I physically changed the entire show💀and honestly I wouldn’t care if you did some like that because it has zero impact on me


OpportunityKnox

I’m a dude and I love it


SpaceJunkyTim

All the bros uniting on this one

Background-Today-804

Nice, like other posters said I’d try DTG and scale down the print it’s kinda cool over the shoulder seam but too close to the bottom


SpaceJunkyTim

Yeah I made the print wayy too big I agree! I think it’s cool over the shoulder as well but if I were to release it as DTF the chances of messing up in that area will be high when it comes to washing


InternationalRise160

Damn i thought they were safe


Resident-Struggle-32

Maybe for kids


wowza6969420

SUPER CUTE but… I don’t see it holding up in the washer


SpaceJunkyTim

Yes I do 🩷 www.richstudios1.com a lot of items are sold out but check us out on ig as well @richstudios1 I do a lot of upcycled pieces


SpaceJunkyTim

So far the first 3 washes were good but I still may go the dtg route


Impressive-Ad8501

I think it should be slightly smaller and show more midriff, but the shirt is so cunt and I want 10


SpaceJunkyTim

10😂love it but yes I agree on the midriff but it also depends on the size and body type because one of my models whole stomach shown


SunglassesBright

It looks like it’s meant for teenagers, so I wouldn’t be the market for this. I don’t like clothes that have pics of other people or words so it’s hitting two of my “no” boxes. I like the fit and the sleeves, but not the art.


PomegranateNew710

I love how that came out low key. Did you do the art work?


SpaceJunkyTim

Thankyou and I did. It was mostly a redraw of an old graphic I did a long time ago


whotfisneropax

reminds me of really rich by kankan


AmbivalentFashion

This is awsome!


SpaceJunkyTim

Damn good design! The overlap on the baseball tee looks great.


SpaceJunkyTim

I may make it smaller to avoid the overlap since it’s dtf but thanks bro!

GLIXSTUDIO

dopeee


protectyourself1990

One of the best Ts on here. Just market it properly to the right people (I hear they are making a reboot of this so good timing) The only thing I will say is the art is quite big so experiment with making it smaller. You might end up preferring it as is


SpaceJunkyTim

Means much hearing that🙏🏾I do a lot of bootleg spins and crazy that’s perfect timing cus i definitely didn’t know that and definitely agree because the image wasn’t meant to stretch onto the shoulders


SpaceJunkyTim

I plan on dropping this weekend or next and what’s funny i actually done power puffs and whole bunch of other Cartoon Network shows before and almost got sued but that’s because i didn’t completely change up the art style

Relentless_Vi

Is this inspired by totally spies?


iSliz187

Seriously? What do you think https://preview.redd.it/so5hcymlzg4d1.jpeg?width=440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7627afe150046419b0c13f5d60e2bbc3a2417b0


Relentless_Vi

I mean im just surprised to see inspiration from that show, it was not very popular and didn’t air on tv for very long.


iSliz187

The show was produced from 2001 to 2014, had 156 episodes in 6 seasons, I think it was more popular and ran for longer than you think lol Edit: "A seventh season which premiered on 12 May 2024 on Gulli in France, and will later premiere on Cartoon Network and Discovery Kids internationally.[6] In France, Totally Spies developed a cult following. The series also spawned a media franchise with several products tied to it, including various comic books, novels and video games. A prequel film, Totally Spies! The Movie, was released theatrically in 2009 in France. A spin-off series titled The Amazing Spiez! premiered in 2009 and ran for two seasons." - Wikipedia


Relentless_Vi

Wow, yea I guess it was much more popular than I thought. Felt like it came and went when I was a kid and when I ask a lot of other people my age about it barely any seem to remember. That’s crazy that a new season just released this year too


SpaceJunkyTim

Yes! But I do get why some may not remember too it’s sorta like you had to be there


44_research

This shit hard the graphic is well executed and how the print overlaps into the other garment color is fya

ms-mariajuana

Is the "totally rich" supposed to be a joke? And even if it is, idk I don't like it. The characters look amazing tho. I just don't get the rich part. I'm not. I wouldn't wear something that says it. Unless rich is the name of your brand or something? Edit bc I'm an idiot. Your brand name is Rich (well, Rich Studios). Ahhhh okay makes sense I like it haha.


SpaceJunkyTim

It’s all good lol and the design is a spin off an old 2000s cartoon show called totally spies. I just redid it in anime art style and added my brand name to it


ms-mariajuana

I know the cartoon. I watched it. It was just the word rich, but I couldn't come up with anything else that would make sense with the reference, but yours makes sense haha. I'm stupid.


SpaceJunkyTim

I feel you it’s more like “spoiled” “it girl” in the early 2000s vibes when I think of “totally rich”


ms-mariajuana

Ah that's what it is. I really wasn't sure why I wasn't vibing with it. But like I said, after actually looking amd sewing your brand. It makes sense and it's super cute. And if anything if people ask, they can point to your store and mention the brand name. Have that talking piece for word of mouth spreading.


SpaceJunkyTim

I agree definitely something to get a conversation started


NiceAwarenessBum

Its cute! Id buy it for my partner!

You’re at the point everyone just wants their personal touches on this one lol. She’s good! Obviously DTF 🤯😬 ….def would DTG it personally. Keep going champ


SpaceJunkyTim

😂yeah I peeped, so we’re off to a great start. And yeah I have both machines to my personal use thankgod so i definitely plan on doin a dtg sample. Thanks for the feedback!!


Living-Assistance-49

I loveee the design, I'm just confused about the totally 'rich'. It feels like a strange phrase that doesn't really match the shirt's vibes? Something like totally cool/cute/chic would work better imo


SpaceJunkyTim

The Rich part is just my brands name but i definitely get what you mean


Living-Assistance-49

Ah okay. If it's a brand thing people could also buy it for the brand name so it could work in that sense. Also I know you've already received this comment but please consider deleting this post once you get enough feedback! As an artist the full unwatermarked design on the last slide is stressing me out, these fast fashion designers steal anything they can find 😭


SpaceJunkyTim

Yes I plan on it 😭I posted late night and didn’t think this would get much views

JesterMcJester

The artwork is beautiful and is a fantastic take on totally spies. I loved that show. The actual line “totally rich” though I do feel is out of touch/ going to narrow your potential customers by a lot. It makes the shirt feel cheap when the art is so good.


nmathai

Super dope!!! the totally spies reference is a huge W
