Sorry, I was hoping to post this when finished, but Ron (jerseycrazee) and I have been exchanging ideas and benefiting greatly from the wisdom of those who know better than us. Thanks to all of you for the push forward. Denise, I owe you a big one kiddo!

I am posting this now because I have some questions I need to ensure successful completion. It is all just Createx & water so far. Did the sizing according to instructions on here and they worked well, thanks.

1. I need to come in and do some repair in black. Do I need to heatset it before I do that? (like a true "man" it is on cardboard, as I couldn't wait till the weekend to cut a t-shirt board), lol...

2. If you look some of the T's done by Luc & Clinton, there is a bronzy warmer tone. My question is, what is the tint that gives that wonderful tone. My instincts tell me transparent brown & black, highly diluted, but I would love to know, Luc if you can? Unless this is a big secret, then you can PM me (but I warn you I would post it here anyway). I will post examples in the first reply to illustrate what I'm talking about.

3. Thanks for looking. Any tips gratefully accepted, this is only my 2nd T. I am posting to learn, and understand it needs work. All suggestions are gratefully accepted, and look at the legacy left for others! Luc, you need to do a full "how to" on here! You would be famous!!lol..... and yes, it is a pocket t, long story, I know, I know....

Oh yeah, Ron, you pick your subjects, I will pick mine, lol, I wonder how many folks will know who this is. He is "dead" now.....

Looking really good, BlindDog.
I'd say you're right that trans brown + trans black , possibly the trans dark brown (do they still make that one?

Can't wait to see it done.

Thanks guys, Ron yep, its Jerry Garcia from his last tour before he died.

This is the effect I was talking about. Vatos (on airabrush.com) did this self portrait, and thanked Luc for the tips, so I was trying to see if I could get the same tip here?

Second pic shows the effect of the tint. I will try it, but wondered if there is a set formula. Just looking for a little help here. These pics are not my work, just a before/after example.....

Looks to me like a lot of blue in the original white painting, then a transparent coat of brown/black?

Looks good there Dog. Been wondering how long it would be before you did something with Jerry.
