Idea for T-shirt - Threnody/Metal

[aboveandbreawn]

I had this idea to make a tshirt for this story title that looks like it could be for a Metal band, since the name lends itself well to that anyway. Would anyone else wear something like this? Product mockups theoretically incoming. Concept and drawing by me characters obviously are Sanderson’s

I love the "Shadows for Silence" piece, the font looks really cool and gives the right dangerous/forbidden vibe for the story. The animal head looks great but doesn't strike me as fitting with the story at all, which makes its prominence in the center of the design kind of disjointed for me. I'm not sure what image would fit better and be recognizable. Maybe a shade, or one of the tarred sacks? They don't have the same punch as roaring animal though.

As a metal band shirt I think it looks awesome top to bottom!

Thanks for the feedback! I chose the White Fox as a nod to the infamous bounty hunter in the story

That makes perfect sense, I just didn't make the connection. It's been too long since I read the story to have forgotten her professional name! With that extra detail, I love the design!

You could maybe balance the logo portion by reducing the size of the "White fox" portion and placing some Shades in the background (maybe a mid-layer with red eyes, and a back layer with green eyes). Mr. Wobble has some interesting pieces with Light effects that could maybe serve as an inspiration, if needed:

I've gotten his permission before to use some crops of his artwork for personal use on other projects - but I would guess there are a lot of "glowing eye shadow" artwork - assuming you would even need inspiration beyond the Threnody Art in Arcanum Unbounded that already shows one version of a Shade.

Mostly for the meme - glowing eyes brought this to mind. Cool shirt though! I think I agree with Treamayne's feedback.
