The newest winning design at Christian competition site Red Is White is Revelation 5:5 by Zadok44. With it's mixture of halftones and paint splatter, it's the kind of shirt you could easily see competing in any contest- the religious subtext is purely exhibited in the comments. In this shirt, I see that as a flaw instead of a strength because it is so much an imitation of the work CollisionTheory has done, particularly Black Moon Rising and his collaboration with Jimiyo, When Pandas Attack. Because of this site's religious bent, it would have been incredibly easy (and maybe even more appropriate) to spice this type of composition up with some text or with secondary images, something that would have made it truly seem like the artist's own unique creation. Don't get me wrong, it's a wearable shirt. I'm just disappointed in how generic and imitative it feels.
Printed designers earn $400 cash, $100 in Red is White credit, and $2 per shirt sold (once the initial run of 250 shirts is completed).
