Those hubcaps look really good. How did you do the watercolor thing?

i duplicated the layer, splashed some color around edges, set the eraser to 2% opacity, and then i dicked around with the hue.

which is long for: I have skillz, yo.

Image number two. Actually, this would be image number one, chronologically, and the first image I did would be image number two when you put them in chronological subject order.

I have no idea what color the bug was. Can't remember it that clearly. I'm guessing it was blue. The tent was beige/orange.

I think you should make a 3d puzzle of the camper van image. Gotta fit all of the glatts into the van...

Yes, if you want to. It would be cool to see. I'm going to do my own coloring, but I like the ideas. I think I'm going to try to recreate the watercolor effect.

Here's another one. I tried coloring this one. But I'm not married to the colors. They're in a separate layer and can be easily changed. I'm going to have four of these kinds of images on the back of the t-shirt, and one bigger one on the front. I figure the design shouldn't be more than 11 inches wide in order to fit well on the back of the shirt. 10 inches would be better. So I scaled this one down to the size it will be on the shirt. Fairly small.

The gray background is just a layer that shows off the white well. I'm hoping when I get the shirts printed, I can do that area as a transparency, and it will end up being the shirt color. I'll need to read up on the files they need.

IF YOU USE PAINT DOT NET IT WILL SAVE AS A *.PNG FILE. THAT SUPPORTS TRANSPARENT, JUST ERASE THE AREA YOU WANT TRANSPARENT. HUGE FILES THOUGH.

My attempt at a watercolor effect using the eraser and blending colors with the airbrush.
