My (limited) experience with cartoon images is that if they are on a light background, they need defining lines, but on a dark one, the contrast between the dark and the color is usually enough unless the two colors are the same. If you put light lines around them, it looks like a halo, and is a little weird unless that's what you're going for.

On the other hand, if you want to see my current art skills, look at the banner at the top of this page, so... you know.. grain of salt.

I have added the Color Image with White Text as a sub directory now and imported all the items.

So you should be able to get:

All the great BrenCon 2012 Swag! Thanks pyg, remember BC2012 items will not be available after BrenCon2012 (or not for long after).

The Admin Deluxe items in the follower designs:

The Admin delux images are getting some new options, and maybe some more text and such, so you may want to hold off on buying them for a while.

Get your BrenCon swag before BrenCon, the Delux Admin stuff will remain up for a long time.

How fast did the cafepress stuff get delivered last year? I just bought a shirt at BrenCon 2011, so I didn't order anything online. I might just order it online this time.

If my memory is right (and I always doubt it is) it takes just a couple of days. Last year mine was ordered, I think 2 days before Brencon and it arrived on Monday after Brencon. But I could be wrong.

However, I remember that the first couple of shirts were pretty bad and had to be replaced.

They ship decently fast. Less than a week, at least.

The first shirts had the wrong date on them (Bitom's mistake) and when we called about them, they sent us replacement shirts for free. So I got a May and a June shirt for the price of one!

Also, Pyg got a defective shirt, which they also replaced for free. My experience with Cafepress is that their stuff is generally good quality, and when something goes wrong, they handle the situation.

I have finished adding some new items to the store. Unless we get some requests I'll probably leave it as is.

http://www.cafepress.com/brencon2012

You can go into the Admin Delux area and find several subsections

Black and White Only
White Text (for dark shirts)
Bitom Only
Brennor Only
TetNak Only
Trogdor Only
Vardaen Only

The admins may customize their own sections beyond this, I don't know, so keep an eye out.

I see two somehow similar shirts, both labelled as "Brennor Admin - White Text Dark T-Shirt" but with different subtitles. One as "Brennor Admins Color" and the other as "Brennor Admin White Text". But that's the only difference because both are of the same price and have the same color and size options. However, one artwork looks a little bit better than the other... Has there been a tiny update? Which one IS the better one?
