Title: G1/G4 Synthwave/Retro Shirt Designs!
Post by: TornadoTwist on July 02, 2018, 11:29:21 AM
I'm a total sucker for anything 80s/Synthwave/Vaporwave. I just really love the style for some reason. Since a few months I've started to make G4 Shirt Designs with several elements of the above styles. Here are some new ones and some of my favorites. :)

WOW these are awesome. I love anything 80's, you absolutely nailed the synthwave style! I would totally buy a t-shirt with these on if they were G1's, but the G4's look really cool too. I love them all...I can't even pick a favourite!

I love these!! :heart: Have you considered doing any G1 ponies? :D I love the G4s as 80s ponies of course, but I already have G4 pony shirts; G1 shirts seem to be pretty tough to find! I think they'd look awesome in your style! But maybe that's my bias showing! ;) I can't wait to see who you make next!! :heart:

OMGGG, Tootie Tails!! I think she still looks pretty 80s, or if not 80s then very synthpop!! I love her!! Great job!! X3

You did an amazing job! Love these! You have quite a knack for composition. You could do one of punk look Rarity :lol:

Now, if only Hasbro had used your work as consult material for the SDCC exclusives...they would have produced something amazing.

The images look great :D I am not artistically savvy but the style (synthwave?) is familiar to me, someone I knew in the Jem community used to do images of Jem characters in the same kind of way and it looked awesome. Very appropriate style for 80s tribute G4 art!

Thanks a lot for the sweet comments. <333 I actually wish I could help with designing those SDCC Ponies indeed. I wish Hasbro would notice me or our websites. :( It would be a dream for me to be part of the creative team. (but I have also an animation study to finish first.)

Anyway I had some stressfull days lately with having a big essay to finish, but I just finished this 80s Lyra piece. :D

Teepublic is having a sale now as we speak! Also, when I upload a new design it will be on sale as well for the first 3 days. :)

Thank you guys so much for all the support! I just finished a new piece. It's something a bit different this time in terms of style:

TornadoTwist have you ever watched GLOW on Netflix? It has a great 80’s vibe - the style, music, outfits...everything is amazingly retro and neon!

These are so rad. I think I need all the stickers. I like the other art you have too :)

If you ever make anything with Raincurl or an 80s Half Note I'll love you forever.

I don't have Netflix sadly but I keep it in mind. You know Moonbeam City? That show also has a totally nice 80s vibe.  :cool:

Aaahh thank you so much! Please post a pic when it arrives! :D

And thanks to everyone else who likes my work. It makes me so happy that they make other people happy. :D Maybe I'll do some G1's again soon. Kinda ran out of ideas for G4 ones. Here are two new ones though:
