A simplified design of Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3. He is short, scrawny, and a tad wrinkly.

A simplified design of Shadowheart from Baldur's Gate 3. She is chubby and compact. An additional portrait depicts her alternate hairstyles.

A simplified design of Karlach from Baldur's Gate 3. She is gigantic and muscular, as she deserves to be.

A simplified design of Gale from Baldur's Gate 3. He is soft, chubby, and round, and wears glasses in this design.

Behold! This is what I've been working on for the past 2 months or so! Simplified designs of the BG3 cast so I can draw them more easily and more frequently!

Astarion, Shadowheart, Karlach, Gale

A photo of me wearing a custom cap

And here I am in this cap. What do you think? Does it look cool?
I really want to draw on more caps to get the hang of it.

It was very difficult to work with such fabric and make the color uniform, as well as draw the letters AK. But I still really like the transitions that turned out (especially in the sun). ⬇️

A photo of a black cap with the work in progress - the toothy devil was made using bleach, and the sun was made using only a white pencil.

The fabric of caps is not at all like the fabric of T-shirts, etc. It absorbs water very strongly and reacts fast and unevenly to bleach ⬇️

Custom design for a merch cap featuring the band Arseny Morozov/Krestitel

Late last year, I made a merch cap for a friend featuring his favorite band - Arseny Morozov/Krestitel.

Below is a short thread with photos. ⬇️

🔟.2️⃣And here's a photo of the longsleeve on me. It's oversized for me, which is why I tried it on myself to mark the elbows on the sleeves (and didn't just make a fold in the middle).

Thank you for reading and attention! 💖✨

🔟.1️⃣Remember, painting with bleach is quite simple, but you need to do it carefully, accurately and step by step, because the pigment in the clothes is lightened forever.

And here is my final result after washing!

#otherart

9️⃣.2️⃣I make the sword in the same order so that it doesn't differ much in color from the second sleeve. I hope I did it.

9️⃣.1️⃣I suspect that the sleeves are treated with something additionally, because the color on them becomes completely unpredictable. Perhaps it is necessary to wash the product before customizing, but I did not do this. Do you see how the parts that I painted on different days differ?

#otherart

9️⃣Now the sleeves. I depicted the weapon in such a way that the bend of the clothes at the elbow looks normal and logical. To do this, I put on a longsleeve and marked the location of my elbow bend directly on myself. The flail has a chain on the bend and the sword is split into fragments.

8️⃣The hardest part. It was necessary to place the text exactly in the middle, taking into account all the sizes of the lines. To be honest, I rewrote some lines many times so that everything would fit and be the same size. These are the lyrics from the song "Absent".

#otherart

Heart from the video clip of the metal band Sylosis for the song Mercy.

Cover of the album of the metal band Sylosis called "Dormant Heart".

7️⃣For the back I used the heart depicted at the bottom of the cover of the album "Dormant Heart". You need to work in the "negative", and therefore I whiten parts of the heart without touching the contours of the "vessels". I do this for a long time and with the thinnest brush.

6️⃣You can also see the color difference between the first layer and the final layer, which suggests that having more cotton in the fabric will make the result more consistent and predictable. Meanwhile, I'm finishing the front side.

#otherart

5️⃣.2️⃣ I had to do a lot of layers (here are 4). Also in the photo you can see that due to the presence of water in the solution, not all areas can be discolored. You can carefully bleach them separately from the main mass and dry them with a hair dryer.

#otherart

5️⃣.1️⃣ The fabric of the longsleeve, just like the first time, consists of 70% cotton and 30% polyester, although it is different to the touch and in thickness. The color changed strangely from bright orange to beige, which was very difficult to work with. ⬇️

4️⃣As always, I start with marking with a white pencil, using a ruler to accurately reflect the symmetry of this complex logo. Some things had to be done by eye, but a ruler is really indispensable when customizing. I keep the composition with attention to the center and the logo.

#otherart

A longsleeve design is merch of the metal band Sylosis. Black longsleeve with orange pattern and the inscription "Sylosis" (snake skeleton, sword, thorns), sleeves with a sword and double flail, and the back with a heart and the lyrics of the song "Absent", imitating the effect of bleach on clothes.

3️⃣So I decorated the band logo with rose thorns and added them underneath for the background and to continue the theme. I also added swords, a double flail and a snake. For the snake and weapons I used references from Pinterest (tattoo sketches are especially suitable).

Cover of the album of the metal band Sylosis called "Dormant Heart".

Cover of the album of the metal band Sylosis called "Edge Of The Earth".

Cover of the album of the metal band Sylosis called "Monolith".

2️⃣For the design I took the latest logo of the band (I really liked it), as well as attributes related to their albums and songs. In their covers Sylosis often use the theme of nature, plants, which I wanted to convey. I also like the skeleton of a snake on one of the album covers.

#otherart

1️⃣After the gift experience, I wanted to make something for myself to wear. I decided to design my own merch with my favorite top 1 metal band - "Sylosis". They are very underrated, and if you want to listen to something technical and heavy - they are very good.

Hi, guys! This is my second experience at custom longsleeve using bleach. In this thread I will have more intermediate photos and descriptions of some of the comments I encountered.

Like and repost are welcome! 💖✨

It turned out to be a very long thread instead of a small one, but I tried to highlight as many important nuances as possible!

I hope this helps someone! Thank you for reading and supporting! 💖✨

Photo of a black longsleeve with a design based on the anime Dorohedoro, made with bleach. Final result.

🔟 And this is the result we got in the end!

#otherart

9️⃣.5️⃣ After you have finished your item, you need to rinse it well in lukewarm water. You will see that the water will be black (Bleach works on the principle of removing pigment). When the water is no longer dirty, you can throw the item in the washing machine on a delicate cycle.

#otherart

9️⃣.4️⃣ This is the result I got. The fabric composition of the long sleeve is 70% cotton, 30% polyester (I couldn't find anything better). It was bought in the "House Brand" store. The color turned out to be from brown to white. I painted for about a week.

#otherart

9️⃣.3️⃣ The layers need to be dry if you want to layer them on top of each other and not blend them (Water helps blending, this can be used to create a gradient).❗I used a hair dryer (Don't get too close to avoid blowing up the drops).

#otherart

9️⃣.2️⃣ You need to think "negatively". If in ordinary drawing we start with the main colors, and then apply shadows and light, then here it is necessary to start with the "shadows" and highlight the necessary areas, applying layers over and over again.

#otherart

9️⃣.1️⃣ It is better to draw near an open window or in a ventilated studio, or in a mask.❗The smell of bleach can cause a headache. It did not bother me, the main thing is not to sit over a container with bleach. Diluted bleach smells weaker.
