I guess this goes in here.
You were all talking about hockey season.
I do alot of that sh*t.
Here's one that was painful, but thankfully wasn't the usual.
Character design with customer input...it printed great for me regardless.
Cheers.

Nice. We do little hockey, but I've been wanting to break into that market.

Jerseys are a bugger to print on.
Hence, I got all cocky and added tones and blends on this.
It worked great.
The print looked good. I should've thrown one in the scanner, but they were done and out the door and gone.
( the art process got annoying, and went on fer a bit, so I really didn't want to see it anymore )

The setup is almost exactly the same as t-shirts, BUT,
you print a bit differently.

I can do wet-on wet printing on jerseys now though, consistently.
Took a few years, and it still sucks to do, but whatever.
Polyester will always suck to print, especially when it's got a bunch of holes in it.
No way around it.

Get some poly-blocking white.
Wilflex's poly white works for me. Plenty of others out there as well.
For colors, any 'opaque' plastisol should work.
Buy some cheap ccm practice jerseys to learn on.
They're still are the nicest canvas of that group of substrate to print anyways.

Have some fun with it.
Cheers.

The Anarchy symbol in your artwork, is that your water mark for posted jpg or does that get printed as well?

Chad you are great with these mascot characters. Clean, precise graphic lines and expert use of color, even with a limited palette. Just the right amount of detail.

And to bring a challenging mascot like a pylon to life like that is no mean feat.

AWESOME!

Love your style Chad. I still get all sorts of chatter on the AR-15 Gator you did for me a couple years back. 
The stick is sick.
