I'm a little new here, so I am not sure if this was completely covered before, but I use Photoshop and Illustrator to create my designs and I wanted to be able to make a mock-up of the designs on an actual shirt to show what it would look like if it was the final product.

I've seen various vector-based shirt templates on DeviantArt and other places, but is there any resources for any blank real shirts that I could use to present the shirts in a realistic fashion than making the shirt itself fake?

For example, people use the same real t-shirt photos over and over again but change the designs on them to reflect the product. Does anyone know where I might be able to find any free stocks of these that are available to use or something to get me started?

My target audience will be more directed towards rock bands and affliction-type of clothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for viewing!

I usually just grab the camera and take some pics of friends and co-workers with blank tees on.

Not free, but reasonably priced:

Thanks for the link. I'm checking through it right now. Yea, if it came down to it, I was willing to pay for the quality I needed, but you never know if there's an alternative.

Thanks again. I've been looking around too. I already checked Dreamstime's stock photos also.

You can also take your own digi pics on the ground or on model and then remove the background, and then you can easily change the color out the tee with hue/saturation.

My .06 cents

I was considering it since I have a decent digital camera, but I wanted to see if there were any alternatives that could have been easier. I'll probably end up doing that then.

I think it works better that way, I do mockups on digital templates and it looks good for clients, but sometimes they want to see how it lays on a shirt so once you take or find some good blanks, you can throw your design on it, tweak things a little to fit the shirt and folds and make it look already printed.
Vecteezy has some digital templates if that works.

Or taking photos you already have of friends and family and using the clone stamp tool, you can just remove the design they have on their tee and add yours! I do it all the time...
