Magneto Was Right

"Commission" for Dre.

Original comic frame:

Shirt:

The print went really well, at least for the face. It came out really crisply. The lettering was alright too, although the paint mix was a bit thin. I think I'm going to swear off mixing my own textile medium. The big problem was that I stupidly went to seal it before it was fully hardened, and I think the calico I was using was dusty - a bunch of dust fused into the paint, which I had to pick out with jewelers loupe and tweezers. Goddamn. Next time, I will iron from the inside out.

This isn't my pattern, by the way - you used to be able to get these on CafePress before Marvel brought down the hammer.
