Hey There Meezers!
4th of July is only a month away. In order to prepare we want to give you all plenty of time to make a super festive shirt!

Entries that are not related to July 4th will be deleted.
Any post that does not contain an entry will also be deleted. I know this isn't normal for me, but this thread is going on for two weeks so the less chatter the better.

The Prize:
Your choice of 10,000 Coinz or 50 days of VIP!
We are also going to give you a special secret pincode to give out to your 5 closest pals to give them your shirt for free!

Contest Ends June 14th

You will need: MSPaint, Photoshop, Gimp, Painter, Paint.net or any other digital drawing program.

Step 1. Save the Template and open it up in an art program.
Right click the template and Save As.
Unisex Template

Step 2. Pick your shirt color. Be sure to PAINT OVER THE DOTTED LINES
You can use any image editing program you have, like paint, Gimp, or Photoshop. Remember, the templates are gray so if you want a white shirt you have to color the entire shirt, not just the lines.

Step 3 . Add your design
Have fun, show us what you can do! Use snazzy brushes, have fun with colors, draw an awesome picture!

Step 4. Save your design as a .jpg, .gif, or .png.

---Don't change the file size or resolution!---

Step 5 . Upload your entry
There are tons of free image hosts like Photobucket, Imageshack and Tinypic.

Step 6. Post your entry
Make sure you post it in THIS thread by Sunday the 14th, when the contest ends. You only need to post it once and if you don't win this week you can always enter it again next time.

Remember to keep it PG13, that means no hateful, racist, or gorey stuff!

DO NOT use images that you have found on other sites (like Google)! Your entry will be disqualified if you take other people's artwork. This includes band logos, pictures of celebrities, brand names/logos and any other artwork that you didn't draw yourself.

Tips:
-Small details, like text, won't be too legible. If you want text it should be pretty big.
-Avoid having images stretch to the edges, anything past the dotted lines is not guaranteed to show up.
-The Template is gray, if you want a gray shirt color over the lines in the same gray as the template.
-Check out the Tutorial Forum for tutorials on making t-shirts and using a variety of art programs!
