I was thinking after reading a post by Mr. Seed here and browsing the Click-Stick forums (where they recently designed a TATE tee) that Kojima oriented tee shirts might, at the very least, be an interesting idea.
There are plenty of online retailers like CustomInk and PrintMojo that will screen print your shirt for fairly cheap if the demand is high enough, and other retailers that will print single shirts if necessary. The only route I would avoid would be that of those who do iron-on transfers, like Cafe Press because they nearly always end up low quality.
That being said, if we were able to stir enough interest in the shirts and order in bulk, we would need a design. It really could be anything Snatcher, Policenauts, Boktai, Metal Gear or Yumetairiku Adventure related (how badass would that last one be?). I had a couple ideas that I could share too, but I'm by no means a graphic designer. I guess the more esoteric the better, but I'm open to any ideas.
Thoughts on the matter?

I once made a t-shirt with the logo of MG2 and this very large picture of the scene on the cover of the MSX2 game, that I found on this site (although strange becuase I found the image with Google, but no link exists anywhere. Art, can you give me the link?). I guess it would be a good idea if it was concentrated on everything BUT Metal Gear, I've had enough of MG memorabilia.

Pssht, Shinkawa should stick to the Solid Games, you can't re-invent Metal Gear 2's artwork.87th wrote:I'd like to think Shinkawa did a bit more art for the Cell version of MG2 that I haven't seen, yet. Sick of just seeing the boxart and the scale drawings. I love the new faces that Shinkawa drew, though.

Heh, there's obviously not as much interest in this as I would have hoped, although I agree with you guys that well-known Shinkawa MGS stuff might be a little bit...tiring. One image that I've always loved and I think would be great on a shirt (as well as suitably obscure) was on the JHQ homepage:
God, that'd be so fucking cool to have on a shirt (maybe in black and white, that's a lot of colors to screen print...). Maybe have that on the front with some sort of text on the back that had to do with Snatcher or this website even, if that were okay with Artemio.
Please, any other ideas?

Just to let you know, Takani only did the cover artwork, not the face shots (which were done by Konami's in-house artists). He did provide artworks for the Twin Snakes and MGS3 premium packages.87th wrote:Hey, if Yoshiyuki Takani wants to make another few MG2 art pieces, I ain't one to complain, but he hasn't, so I'm backing Shinkawa.
