A special kind of nerdery

[murdering]

Hullo, everyone! 

I'm just dropping in to show off my newest little DGM craft! I've been looking for a way to incorporate some fandom into my daily fashion without wearing anime t-shirts, and since I got a screen printer for my birthday, I thought I'd try something fun with a nice t-shirt from J. Crew. Thus I present.... the Tease shirt.










If you'd like one of these shirts, or this design on a bag or something, I still have the screen for it, so I could make some things to sell and whatnot. This specific shirt isn't for sale, but I could definitely make one just like it if you paid for the shirt, etc.

Thanks for looking!

EDIT: Since people are interested in buying these, I've put up an entry on my Artfire account for them. I have availability for 20, but if people end up ordering all of those I'd be glad to put up more? I'll be making them to order, so just add any specific color for ink/the shirt, and tell me what size shirt you want in the J. Crew tees. You can find the sizing information for the J. Crew shirts here.

Here is the listing. Note that I may not be able to crank these out and get them shipped until the weekend of March 5, or possibly March 11; however, I'll take photos of every item before it's shipped out, so you know that it is done and has been sent.

That is seriously classy! How much would a shirt like it cost?

[murdering]

Thanks! For the exact same design/shirt, it would be about $45.00, not including shipping. It's a little pricey because I'm using J.Crew tees, because they're nicer than the ones you can get at the craft store and whatnot.

[jaguira.livejournal.com]

Cool beans! It's a bit pricey for me right now, but I definitely love the design. Good luck selling it and whatnot!

[murdering]

Thanks! If you're interested still, or in the future, I just put up two options for it up on my artfire, if you're still interested. If I did the print on an American Apparel shirt instead of the J. Crew, it would be $25.00, and the J. Crew (since the style is now on clearance) is $35.00.

[jaguira.livejournal.com]

Oooooooh, nice! I'll have to check out the $25 one soon.

[fullmetalflower.livejournal.com]

This is really awesome! °A°

[murdering]

Thanks! ♥

[sincere]

That is AMAZING and I might want to own one too. :o

[murdering]

Oh, thanks!

If you'd like one, I'd be glad to make one for you. It would be about $45 if I used the same kind of t-shirt, since they're nice quality and whatnot.

[sincere]

What kind of care would it need? Like, would it be washerable?

[murdering]

Yeah, it's washable! I'd just turn it inside out to protect the design more, but I just throw it in with the rest of my perm press.

[fawned.livejournal.com]

That is super gorgeous!

[murdering]

Thank you! ♥

[unforgivingtime.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that's so creative. ♥ The J.Crew shirts are all really nice quality, too. Great job!

[murdering]

Thanks! It kind of happened by accident, too, since I was in J. Crew for some shorts for a trip. I saw the tees and just had to see if it would work, and it turned out even better than I'd hoped.

[siberianchan.livejournal.com]

Damn, this is cool... if I may I'd do some in black with bodeaux print.

Hooray for geekness.

[murdering]

I'm working on a few possible designs/variations, too! I want to get a nice one with the Fourteenth's musical score and possibly one of Allen's scar, etc.

[a-mbry0.livejournal.com]

That shirt is gorgeous! And I'd love to own one *A*

[murdering]

Thank you! If you're interested, I've added a link to the sizing/ordering information for one of them at the bottom of the post. If you have any questions or whatnot, you can just let me know.

[a-mbry0.livejournal.com]

I tried to order one shirt but it says you can't send to Finland... Is there any way for me to get one? OAO

[murdering]

Ah, my bad! I forgot to add the international shipping option to the listing. It's there now.

[a-mbry0.livejournal.com]

Made my order <3

[mandymorphose.livejournal.com]

That looks really cool. I dig it!

[murdering]

Thanks!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that is very cool

[murdering]

Thank you~

[kiyohimee.livejournal.com]

Just wow. I love it.

[murdering]

Thanks!

[straightrhodes.livejournal.com]

That's just gorgeous. If I had money I'd totally request one, but I is broke ;_;

[murdering]

Thanks! Yeah, I definitely know the feeling. I'll have the screen for a while, probably, so if you ever do decide you want one I'll probably have it around still. ♥

[vaiyoretto.livejournal.com]

Whoah! That's awesome!
Did you draw the butterflies yourself?

[murdering]

Thanks! I digitally traced them from the manga pages, then printed them out to make the screen to print it on the shirt.

[miezen.livejournal.com]

I...whoa. That is downright awesome. Tease are just so stylistically appealing. I want to get a Tease tattoo someday.

[murdering]

Thanks! I have a friend with a Tease tat on her arm, in a tribal-esque style. It's super cute, for sure.

[miezen.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking of going for my shoulder blade, myself. The other I want to do has nothing to do with anime; I want the first few lines of the Devil's Trill Sonata sheet music around my thigh, since that song got me to start playing the violin. But I am an enormous nerd and Tease would be something I could pull off getting a nerdy tattoo of that won't end up being embarrassing.

I do hope you plan on making some stuff for sale with this! It looks so good~

[murdering]

That sounds pretty cool! I would get a Tease tattoo myself if I could, but I just can't really commit to it with the jobs I have/plan to go into.

I just added a link to my artfire where you can order one of the shirts, actually! They'll be made to order, and I'll be able to add some more stuff once I get some funds to buy bags or whatnot to put the design on.

[miezen.livejournal.com]

That makes sense. I don't plan on getting mine any time soon because I'm getting bariatric surgery and I'd rather wait until I've lost weight from that, but I'm definitely being careful about only getting tattoos in easily covered locations. It's a shame how workplaces look down on them so much...

That's awesome! Unfortunately, as I kind of indicated above, I'm currently plus size to the point that these wouldn't fit me =(.

[silvrguillotine.livejournal.com]

This is awesome! If I had the money, I would ask for one.

[jennjenn-chan.livejournal.com]

this is really awesome! You have some good ideas (I find I want to wear things that have to do with the shows I like too...but without seeming like an overzealous fan...:/

Really cool, 2 thumbs up!

[leafyaki.livejournal.com]

Woah, really beautiful! It has just enough of an anime reference to it but really can just fit into general fashion ♥

[nurissa.livejournal.com]

Ooh! I like that! It reminds me of a shirt my friend made with the Old English "L" on it in reference to L from Death Note, but since her name starts with an L, only those who know would really get it.

I would love a shirt with some Kanda related print on it. ^__^

[murdering]

Thanks! I'll probably be making one with this tattoo on it and some lotus petals around it for accent, later on.

[hii-chan.livejournal.com]

It looks soooo cool!! I'm always on the hunt for things that are fandom-related, but not so blatently-geeky that you can't wear them in public! And I looove the Tease!!
So, I totally want a shirt!!
But..I live in Germany.. so would that be possible to still order one? And how much would it be with shipping and everything?
And if you make more cool D.Gray-man shirts, will you show them here?

(And one more thing..if it's not too much to ask..I can totally understand if you don't wanna share the screen here, but could you maybe just share a good quality image of the big Tease at the bottom? The one from the side where you see the design on the wings and everything? Cause I wanna make a Tease-button, but I couldn't find any *really* good pictures of one yet)

[murdering]

Yeah, definitely! I use priority flat-rate shipping, so it would be $14.00 for a flat-rate envelope with priority shipping.

I can get the image, for sure! I can crop it out and post it with a few new designs later for you.

[silentdictator.livejournal.com]

Nice. Can't afford to buy one. D: But just dropping a comment because, gosh, these are gorgeous. Really pretty and not over done. ;)

[snow-ashelia.livejournal.com]

oh, this is gorgeous, good crafting skills! :)

[darkwater657.livejournal.com]

I won't be able to place an order until my spring break, but damn, I'm totally getting me one of these. I'm a big fan of the more discrete fan/official merchandise. :o)
