Indeed different stokes as Dave (Dlac) mentioned. Here again, are a few limited color jobs I finished up. I don't usually post up all of the work I do, but Dave made a good point. You can get a lot of mileage out of 2 or 3 color jobs. He shows a good example of great work at limited colors and here are a few that are opposites of his style. Both are well needed in the industry. Neither are really better than the other. Just different strokes as Dave mentioned.
Both of mine make use of blending two or three colors for additional looks. Both of mine require high mesh...for subtle transitions. I would not use anything less than 230 mesh on these but I suggest 305s.
The top one is 3 colors. All very light halftones except on the type outline on black screen. The intent is to let the shirt interact with the print...and a very soft hand.
The 2nd was the biggest bang for the buck. High school boosters needed a low budget job.
Again, 305 mesh suggested. 2 colors. I used the green under the red to darken or add another darker red tone. Used the shirt as white for parts of the art like in the outlines on type, + helps for fast production with that wide negative area of shirt.
I will leave my pricing for when you want to email me for a quote, but it's competitive for what I do and what you get out of that.
