Hello, I was wondering what you guys think of these shirts, I've been developing them way too long now, my client wants to wrap these up and get them printed.

There actually is dark grey tribal-type designs in the background. Any thoughts? I really wish I could master texturing/distressing in illustrator. Something similar to the effect that the fashion factory coreldraw plugin does.

it took sooooooo long for those pics to download. you only really need a 72 dpi jpeg to upload.

but, i did see the first design and think it looks fine. the distressing technique looks fine as well, maybe even too much.

you should check out the mister retro distressing filters for photoshop. they do the best IMO.

Thanks! Any illustrator distressed resources?

if you type distress in illustrator in the search function above on this site there'll be a lot of hits from previous threads.

most people either have bought the mr. retro filters or do it themselves with different textures either downloaded off the internet (you can find a ton if you google textures for photoshop or illy) or make them themselves by taking pics of let's say tree bark or rough cement sided building etc. and converting via live trace in illy and deleting.

here's a good tut that i like (this site offers a lot of good tuts for illy):
