Devil Dogs/Docs in Kilts

[Tattoo Bradley]

It's a great start. Can't wait to see some updates. I think the hat is goofy or I'm just not able to figure out what it is.

Sounds like a good idea...I couldn't figure out what the hat was either...Looked like an inflated Beret and Marines don't wear berets...I will add the DI hat and see how it comes out.

I assumed it was the rough outline of a feather bonnet seeing as he's got the pipes and plaid.

What about a Claymore instead of the pipes? Many advertisements I see for Marine recruiting show a man in dress blue tunic with the white hat and a saber (mindful that I don't know all the Marine-specific terms for these things--I'm not a Marine so I'm not bound by their rules to know).

Ooooh, that raises an idea for a different image (future project, perhaps?): Dog in blue tunic and Leatherneck kilt! No, wait, that would have him out of uniform...

Looks like a good start, I also think a campaing (d.i.) hat would look good, and find a way to work in the EGA.

The EGA has been addressed and will be included in the next sketch

Check out the below link. I haven't used this company for unit t-shirts, but I do like the style of their artwork.

Also, check out the Leatherneck Pipes and Drums website, below. They have piper's tunics which are based on the Dress Blue jacket. That might be useful for your artwork as a model. Interestingly enough, they wear kilts that are designed to look like the Dress Blue trousers with Blood Stripes instead of tartan kilts. Maybe that's an option for the design, since sometimes tartan doesn't translate well into a silk-screened design.

OO-Rah Brothers,

I was working on a design for a T-shirt to wear either casually with the Leatherneck Tartan or with a Cammo Utility Kilt and came up with this draft.



I know it's a bit rough, but if you guys can provide me with some feedback, I will make adjustments accordingly...It will be done (finished) in the colors of the Leatherneck Tartan...The guy I'm working with has done a lot of bulldogs for the USMC, so that's where we got started.

I was thinking about adding the USMC emblem and a matching fly plaid...Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated...Oh, and by the way, the slogan will read "The Few, The Proud, The Kilted" "USMC"

Thanks,

Chase

Chase,

I love it, I think it would make a great tattoo.

Excellent start Chase, can't wait to see what you come up with. I was a bit puzzled by the hat as well, looking forward to seeing it with the DI hat.

[pipesndrumsnun]

Very cool! I'm with John...this would be a great tattoo!!
