so in the downtime between preparing my man of steel project i thought i would mess around in photoshop and maybe try my hand at a star trek 09 tunic as a back up for halloween for myself and as a main costume for my friend. i found some details on the delta pattern over on the 1701st site and i went from there. i took a high res image i found online of the delta symbol and imported it into photoshop. from there i started messing around with different ways to get the cut outs on the right side. the best way i found was to rotate the symbol 4 degrees counter clockwise and then make my cuts at regular intervals.
once i did that i moved it back to the right way up and scaled it down to the right size
after that i simply repeated the pattern over and 8x8 square, enough for a fabric on demand sample. then i got my 3 colours which i thought looked close enough and laid the pattern over them.
hopefully the colours come out right from the printers and if so i will be moving ahead with the shirts. i have a shirt at home that is v neck with raglan sleeves so i will cut it up and make my pattern based of that. will probably print the silver ranks lines on the cuff instead of adding them later for handiness and for durability. not sure what i will do about the badge yet. still mulling over ideas. as for the collar and seams i am gonna buy some coloured lycra and use the closest match since fabric on demand only print on white.
let me know what you think. might even offer some fabric in the junk yard if i get enough of it and enough interest but i dont want to stop on anovos' toes
