T-Shirt Design Request

Long ago I ordered two T-Shirts with a dragon logo I made (Exfyre helpt me out).

It looked somewhat like this:

Now I want to order two T-Shirts more with the same dragon. But it's kinda boring with just a dragon on a T-Shirt.
I want something around the dragon, something that makes the dragon more appealing and stand out more (did I use the expressions right?)

I'm terrible with Paint/Gimp/Photoshop. Even the original dragon was made with pen at first.

That's why I need your help.
Could someone please make me a 3000x2500 picture with some kind of fancy effect/eyecandy.
The T-Shirt is going to be white and the dragon black. So I would like the theme/colour of the "effects" to be grey/black/(white?) too.

I was thinking of something like this (Designs by kc102):

If someone could take this job and help me, I would be thankful. And please leave out some space for the dragon.

Bump.

If this request is too much work. Could someone please give me instructions/hints or show me a tutorial on how to make these kind of effects like on those example pictures made by kc102. Thanks.

Just a heads up, if the design is not a Vector its gonna look like crap once it is printed...

(E.x. The one designed by KC is not a vector, when they make it big enough to print on the shirt... its gonna be very pixelated and bad looking.)

Gimp doesn't do Vectors well. Neither does photoshop.

A Vector is an image that doesn't have pixels. Adobe Illustrator and Flash use vector graphics.

Theres a freeware version of illustrator also. http://www.inkscape.org/

I was thinking of adding an effect like this.

It's a so called vector or not?
Click to expand...

This isn't a vector. Vectors are usually solid shapes that are made by things called paths. These are like stencils and can be enlarged without loss of quality (since they are just shapes). If you wanted an effect like you posted, then you would need to make a large image at 300 dpi. While this can be done, it takes a lot of computer power.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
