You might have seen that just a little bit earlier this year, we debuted our new shirt sale, back in full force after years of you guys requesting its return! Now, it's time to get a little competitive. We know that many GBAtemp users here are incredibly talented artists, so get ready to let your art skills shine! GBAtemp will be holding a T-shirt design contest, where you can submit a digital drawing or design of what you think best represents GBAtemp and would look nice, displayed on the front or back of a lovely shirt, hoodie, or other article of clothing.

As this is a competition, we'll have three winners. The best designs, as voted by YOU, will be sold in our storefront, and the winners will receive a prize of their choosing: any design of any product on the GBAtemp Redbubble page. (Yes, even a Tempy bathmat or clock! We won't judge.)

In order to enter, you’ll need to send a private message to @Chary and @T-hug containing an image file (GIMP/Photoshop/etc) of your work, and a title for it. You can also feel free to show off your design in this thread, too! If you're not confident in your art skills, but you have a great idea for what you'd wanna see on a Tempy-themed shirt, leave a comment, and maybe one of the artists here will make your dreams come true! If that's not enough for you, then one of the non-entrant voters will be chosen at random, to win a free shirt featuring one of the winning designs! Yay!

The competition will last exactly one month--until November 2nd. Once the clock hits midnight (CST), a voting thread will go live, where everyone will be able to pick their favorite piece of art. GBAtemp Staff will contact the winners and discuss which prize they want. If it so happens that any of the winners are in one of the few regions that Redbubble does not support, or they’re unable to provide a shipping address, arrangements will be made to provide a prize of equal value (a PSN/eShop/Steam/etc card).

(Please make sure, that in making your design, that you don't directly infringe on pre-existing copyrights. References are fine, but outright infringement might get the design revoked from Redbubble, and we don't want that to happen.)

Good luck, and have fun! We look forward to seeing all the amazing submissions!

If you're interested in checking out some of our existing shirt designs, or perhaps getting a nice mug to drink hot chocolate from (Winter is coming, after all), head on over to our Redbubble storefront, and see what we've got for sale!

I have no ability to draw this nicely, but a simple idea being a Nintendo Switch in the center (Tempy on the screen) surrounded by Nintendo handhelds in a semicircle above it, then the home consoles behind the handhelds in another half circle, like an orchestra. GBATemp would be written below the Switch. Have the newest handheld (2ds xl) in the middle, with the older handhelds spread out, alternating sides. do the same with the home consoles, with the Wii U in the middle of the spreading semicircle.

Spoiler

- Switch = "conductor"

Home consoles:
- Wii U = between "trumpets" and "trombones"
- Wii Mini = "trumpets"
- Wii (regular) = "trombones"
- GameCube = "French horns"
- continue the pattern with rest of home consoles

Handhelds:
- 2DS XL = between "clarinets" and "bassoons"
- 2DS (flat blocky one) = "clarinets"
- 3DS (original/phat) = "bassoons"
- DSi = "second violins" next to "clarinets"
- DS (original/phat) = "cellos" next to "bassoons"
Continue pattern with rest of handhelds

The final product will look like this perspective:

Spoiler

It doesn't matter how many consoles you include, as long as each generation is covered and any major hardware changes are included. For example, the New 3DS, New 3DS XL, and 2DS XL are the same hardware, so only one is really needed, but the old 3DS and old 3DS XL are much different than the 'New' versions. Another example; the Gameboy Advance and GBA SP look very different, but do mostly the same things, so one or both can be included.

might as well be this forum’s “/s”.

If the creators want 2 cents a sale, they’re welcome to it lol. This competition is coming out of pocket from the site to begin with. The money the site has “made” off these shirt sales thus far is a few dollars at best, even after a decent amount sold. A payment hasn’t even registered for those prior shirts, as the “profit” hasn’t reached payout levels; probably exactly enough to buy me one whole pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks for the effort of uploading the Tempy logos to the store. We’re not looking to make money here. That was never the intent—we’re looking to celebrate the community’s underlying creativity and artistry. Offering a cut of the sales would cheapen the fun of the entire competition. If there’s no payment threshold met, we can’t guarantee any of the users even those few pennies anyway, and we’d look foolish for mentioning it in the first place. However, depending on how much interest this little fun event gets from the community, we are considering the idea of *commissioning* ($) more dedicated artwork for shirts from some of the more well known artists here. We theoretically could notch up the dial on the cost of each shirt to get a higher profit per shirt, to have more money to pay such with, but why do that? Again, it takes away from the simple fun of what we’re trying to do, and the accessibility of users to afford the cost of the shirt to begin with.

So your saying the artist who did the comic will be making a re-edition of my artwork?

 

[GhostLatte]

I know you would wear this.

If you're not confident in your art skills, but you have a great idea for what you'd wanna see on a Tempy-themed shirt, leave a comment, and maybe one of the artists here will make your dreams come true!

Out of curiosity, if someone were to do this and win, would both the person with the idea and the artist get a prize?

 

[StrayGuitarist]

I did a Vectrex-inspired Tempy with some glow and interlace effects.

Lots of interesting designs so far, and lots of different Tempies too! Just a quick note to the participants - don't limit yourselves exclusively to the site's logo or mascot. Some of the best submissions in this thread have nothing to do with either of those things. Think outside the box - humorous entries or entries that refer to elements of the community itself are usually the best. In any case, that's enough hints from me - may the best artists win!

 

[Chary]

Loving the entries so far! Can’t wait to see what other creative ideas you guys come up with!
