Posted1 hour ago
I need three existing raster illustrations professionally recreated as clean, editable vector artwork for DTF textile printing on the backs of T-shirts.
The illustrations combine Brazilian Armorial and Manguebeat influences, with a woodcut-inspired appearance: intricate hatching, symbolic figures, botanical elements, geometric patterns and a limited color palette. This is a faithful vector reconstruction project. The existing compositions and visual identity must be preserved.
Artwork and level of detail
The three illustrations are:
1. O Cérebro da Lama
2. Quem Assina a Obra?
3. O Pulso e o Circuito
Please preserve the composition, proportions, frames, figures, facial features, leaves, roots, circuits and other recognizable elements. Intentional hatching, carved marks and irregularities are important parts of the style and should remain visually consistent with the originals.
However, do not blindly reproduce every raster artifact. Compression noise, accidental dots, broken contours and unintended gaps should be distinguished from meaningful details. Any noticeable correction, simplification or adjustment must be presented for approval before being applied.
Manual tracing and careful path refinement are expected. Unedited automatic tracing, excessive anchor points, overlapping duplicate shapes and raster images embedded inside “vector” files are not acceptable.
Printing size and transparency
The working print size is approximately 28 × 42 cm per illustration, subject to confirmation before final delivery. Detail quality must be assessed at this actual print size, not only when zoomed in.
Both the exterior background and designated internal areas must be genuinely transparent, allowing the T-shirt fabric to become part of the composition:
| Artwork | Intended T-shirt | Areas to make transparent |
01 — O Cérebro da Lama | Dark charcoal / washed black | Dark background areas, including internal negative spaces
02 — Quem Assina a Obra? | Natural ecru / light sand | Ivory areas, including internal spaces and relevant hatching
03 — O Pulso e o Circuito | Solid black | Black/dark areas, including internal negative spaces
Removing the background must not remove illustrated borders or other intentional design elements.
Do not add a solid background rectangle, a simulated fabric color or a checkerboard pattern to the production artwork. Transparent areas must remain free of printed color and white underbase.
Fine lines and small gaps should be reviewed for DTF suitability. If adjustments are necessary, propose localized changes that preserve the overall drawing. Minimum printable dimensions should be agreed with the print provider rather than assumed.
**Defined color palettes**
Use the following HEX values as named global color swatches. Consolidate raster color variations into these palettes rather than creating hundreds of slightly different colors.
| Artwork | Printed colors |
|---|---|
| **01 — O Cérebro da Lama** | Ivory `#D3C6AD`, green `#30412B`, burnt red `#A44930`, ochre `#B4853A` |
| **02 — Quem Assina a Obra?** | Soft black `#2A2923`, blue `#23455B`, burnt red `#B55235`, ochre `#B88A49` |
| **03 — O Pulso e o Circuito** | Ivory `#EDD8B2`, turquoise `#066A6B`, red `#D33C24`, yellow `#E5AD29` |
For the full-color vector reference versions, the background colors are `#201F19`, `#DED0B6` and `#11120D`, respectively. These designated colors must become transparent in the corresponding production versions.
HEX values define the RGB/sRGB references. Any CMYK conversion should follow the print provider’s specified profile.
Required deliverables
For each of the three illustrations:
- Native Adobe Illustrator file (.AI): editable vector paths, organized layers/groups and named color swatches. Include separate full-color reference and transparent production artboards.
- SVG: the transparent production artwork, containing genuine vector paths with no embedded raster images.
- Transparent PNG: exported at the agreed physical dimensions and 300 ppi.
Files must be clearly named, supplied without mirroring, and contain no mockup backgrounds or unwanted printing marks.
Review and acceptance
Please provide an initial detail proof as the first project milestone, showing how you will handle intricate hatching, curves and transparency.
Final acceptance will involve comparison with the originals, inspection of editable paths and colors, transparency checks, and review at the intended print size. Please flag unclear source details instead of inventing replacements.
