I'm not sure how I feel about the claw marks...they look too straight and perfectly set at a 45 degree angle, but the other two are awesome. The Infected shirt (at least in black) looks perfect. The drop shadow makes it look like it is actually torn and the spiders...lol...very nice.
the "problem" with the rips is that i wanted something big enough to look like a wound from a large animal. there's not a lot of space ona CP design template, 10" x 10", so the diagonal was the best i could come up with. as for blood, i originally wanted a stain around the wounds and gunshots. this is ok on white, but a soft edged red stain is hard on black shirts due to the underprinting of white first. i had a bit play in PShop but wasn't liking the results so i just dropped it altogether, and put a bit of a blue tint to the claw marks to make it look a bit more "dead", a la "American Werewolf..." etc.

Bah! Just go on and shrink those claw marks down to 3 or 4" each to accomodate CP's ineffective size (see? it DOES matter). What's more frightening than attack of the midget werewolves?
Yes, I'm kidding. It's too early to think with any seriousness.
