This is an old design i posted here as a WIP about a month or so ago. These are the designs i came up with thus far. Most of the changes are taken from dakin_costello comments(Thanks for the suggestions!! i think they made it more fitting for a shirt design) and using Chuffy's shirt mock up tools(THANK YOU SO MUCH! love the tool!)
Here is the link to the old post.

and here are the re-worked designs. (Please Click to enlarge, It'll link you to Deviantart, idk why the link makes the embed all small)
This is one with the names(I'm not sure which looks better, the side names or the ones in stencil right under the character.)

And this one, without the names.

Please comment and critique if these are sub worthy or not and why, Thanks very much :)

And maybe try making "THE PARADOX" all horizontal, instead of the "THE" being horizontal. And make those letters default sized, instead of stretching them.
Then, if I got some money, I'd buy this right away if I hadn't my Portal shirt already. Since I do, if I got some money (because I really am completely broke), I would definitely sleep on this, because I like it.
The first thing I thought when I read "Disher" and "Taker" was something along the lines of "they sound like awkward robot lovers." Maybe if you replaced those with their names?
Also, what Hiteryan said about horizontal letters.
Haha, me too. :D
Glad you like the mock up tool. I'm afraid I've not gotten around to playing Portal 2 yet (Too busy designing tees or playing betas), so I'm not understanding the references fully. The black outline style looks good though. Nice sharp illustrations. :)
@hiteryan
i like the idea but do you mean making "paradox" vertical like "the" or like this?

@Chuffy; you should really save some time for Portal 2! its a great adventure back inside Aperture Labs and a much funnier character in Wheatley.
thanks! yes the white shirt is really a no haha im picking through different colors but most likely gonna be in a grey shirt. and yeah more people seem to be for the no names design i think i'll go with that one :) tell me any color suggestions and i'll definitely try it out!
I also think the design looks better without the names. It makes it look less crowded. (Just so you know, I would buy this shirt as it is now, it's fantastic)
thanks! and yes the propulsion and repulsion gels are the inspiration for the paint splatters :D and definitely gonna stick with the no names and grey most likely will be the color ima use for background. thanks for the input!
the dark grey makes the blue stuff almost invisible, and the light grey makes the yellow orange stuff do the same thing.
click link if it doesnt embed. sorry.

Other than that, it looks pretty good.
lol i know but i cant find a better way to put it haha
yeah im working on that :D my only concern is that putting their names may actually be against copyright law or something. idk.
Just not sure this concept really works for Portal. Although GLaDOS does have a nice little singing voice. Perhaps an American Idol parody? Aperture Idol. The judges were killed by deadly neurotoxin.
it was suppose to be like a MMA match banner but im thinking that it didnt translate well
haha thanks! and i lol'd when i read the teefury notification and saw ur "Potato vs Moron" comment! Thanks! i'll implement that as soon as i can!
Glad I could help! Can't wait to see it and I hope it gets printed!
