Contest Brief

I am looking for someone to draw/paint me a seamless pattern for boys/men's clothing. I am capable of positioning elements into a repeat pattern in illustrator or photoshop. Please don't submit something I could have made myself. It's unique art that I am the most interested in. If you would like to know how to hand draw a seamless pattern, pleas check out this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufpo3bZziX4 It would be really cool to see some awesome complex art created this way filling the entire space and all connected.

The end product is fabric that my customers would use to sew up clothing such as shirts, sweaters, baby outfits and all other types of clothing. The goal is to have it appeal to both men and boys alike. This is a hard line to walk as it can't be too babyish/cartooney but also can't be so adult that it wouldn't work for a baby outfit. Classy, trendy and unique would be adjectives I would use for this project.

This will be digitally printed so there is no limit to the amount of colors.

I am open to all sorts of designs from simple to over the top.

If you wouldn't wear it on yourself, then I probably won't be interested.

Size should be at least 8 inches square at 300 dpi.

I have posted this before as an un-guaranteed contest using the theme of pirates, ships, octopus and treasure. I am still interested in this theme, but am open to others as well such as monster trucks, crocodiles, dinosaurs, dragons, ninjas, space, motorcycles and cars, forest animals/lumberjacks and or farm.

This project could literally be anything that a boy/man would wear tiled repeatedly. I will attach some examples of styles that I like to give you a better chance and idea. Some of these are pretty girly, but you get the idea. There isn't much out there for men and boys.

Please reach out to me with any questions. I will try to give as much feedback as possible to get the desired results.

    There are a few of you that I really like your style, just not the specific entry. I will most likely be contacting you in job form for some future works with a little less broad of scope. Thank you all for your entries. I love to see all the different ways a description can be interpreted.

    I am planning to do a some really classy designs for you on this. It would be great if the contest was #sealed - so I can post several variations early and get your feedback, without my work being public. I'm excited about this :)

      Oh yes! We're aloud to offer to sell the non-winning entries. Some contests will be like, "Winning entry gets $100, all other choices get $50, $75 etc... and then that gives us the opportunity to change our price so that you can buy it if you like more than one. Usually if they are buying other entries, CH (contest holder) will put it in the contest description.

    Two things: First, Thankyou for the tutorial! Letter Number B: I have a quick Question! Is okay if I draw the pattern directly on digital format?

      Sure thing! I really want to see someone take that tutorial and run with it with a fun full-on painting sometime. I think it's a little intimidating for most to think about.
