[b]Update - Destiny Year One Art Contest[/b]
With the recent announcement of the Destiny Year One Art Contest I'm going to revisit these designs and do some polishing up as well as creating some more shirt designs based off hunter cloaks. I spent a lot of time on Destiny getting as many of the best looking cloaks that I possibly could across all the expansions and I feel this could tie in perfectly with what I was working on here.
Thank you everyone for the support and I'll keep things updated here as needed!

After having a lot more spare time now that the Destiny Beta has completed I continued with an idea that I had about 6 months ago of taking Hunter cloak design concepts and turning them in to T-Shirts.
Because let's face it, who wouldn't want to be able to wear some of the awesome cloak designs?
Currently I've created some shirt designs (mostly based on in-game cloaks) that you can view via the links provided. Below is a list of the current ones that have been created.

I've also begun working on creating wristbands based on some of the Warlock bonds found throughout the game. Below is the current list of the ones I've completed.

And I've also started working on bandannas based on the Titan Marks (meant to be worn in the back pocket and function similarly to a Mark). Current list of completed ones is below.

I've sent a message to Bungie's media email and am waiting for a reply as to ensure creating these, or crowdfunding them, would not infringe on their copyrights. Thanks for the support!
[b]LINK UPDATE:[/b] After many days of work I've finally been able to convert some of the T-shirt designs to Spreadshirt along with creating posters and phone cases (no sweatshirts as of yet since Spreadshirt charges a lot for them). I've begun working with 2 others in creating a project called Frontierr which seeks to bring video game inspired content to life while benefiting charity. We've decided that for the very little amount of proceeds we receive on our creations from Spreadshirt and Redbubble that we will donate all of this to the Child's Play Charity. I know that these shirts and designs are not the same as the concepts posted here, I had aimed way too high for something that would cost too much money and time for everyone involved. This is definitely a more down-to-earth attempt in creating something awesome that costs much less and helps a good cause. Without the support I've received here on the bnet forums this wouldn't have ever happened. Despite the disappointment if you're still interested you can click [url=http://frontierr.net]here[/url] to visit Frontierr.
Thank you guys again, I can't wait to see were this takes us!
[b]Activision Shutdown:[/b] Well I guess this is where the journey ends. Not even 24 hours after the launch of Frontierr and the Guardian Collection (to which all proceeds were donated to Child's Play) Activision has contacted us and stated that we are infringing upon their property. I'm working with DestinyDispatch now to see if there's any way to get permission to continue forward. Until then the website (http://frontierr.net), Spreadshirt, and Redbubble have been frozen. Most of the email can be read here: http://puu.sh/aObKr.txt
Thanks again everyone, it's a shame things didn't work out better.

There are some great designs, very nice.
-
Great work!
-
BUMP BECAUSE WHO DOESN'T WANT GUARDIAN GEAR THIS AWESOME?! ACTIVISION YOU SUCK ROYAL NUTS

Hey man, if you can get this worked out please let me know. I obviously cant follow you till it happens but the designs you've created are in fact legendary. They could easily fit just about anyone not even necessarily just a destiny player. You've done a phenomenal job with the creations. Strength of the pack, would be my buy. I saw it on Chive actually, which got it from tapiture i believe, so your designs have been circulating. Ironically, Strength of the pack will prevail, so keep up the fight to get these sanctioned and printed. Im sure Activision and Bungee would want a cut, which of course they are deserving of, but its in everyone's best interest that these get made. Kudos +1000 -CanadianRace (Ryan)

Bumping this bc activisions ppl are assholes
-
Damn this really bummed me out. I looked at the shirt designs before reading about the shutdown and my mind was blown. I said "finally some good destiny merchandise that looks awesome to wear and is relevant to actual gameplay instead of just advertising the game." Im sorry to hear what happened and wish you the best of luck in getting it reversed.
-
Must, buy...
-
Lets hear it for capitalism, corporations that are people and the american dream of crushing other people's dreams.
-
It's tough to read this post because the designs are truly amazing, but in this world, we should all have recognized how this would play out from the very start.
-
Damn, wish I saw this way sooner, I would have purchased some of the Titan marks and maybe a shirt or two. Sad when this fan made merchandise can actually be far better than any official junk they try to pass onto us. :/
-
Hoping that I can get that Mark of Resolve eventually. Or my Mark of the Six Fronts as a bandanna or of sorts.
-
All of those shirts looked more amazing than any of the ones Bungie had in it's shop.
-
Old , but bump
-
ACTIVISION WHY ...WHY
-
I'm straight up drooling over that Dead Orbit Revolution. Damn
-
Damn This SUCKS so much!!! Sorry man
-
-
But they look amazing.

BEGINNING TRANSMISSION: (Low melodious hum.) Well it is simple. Standard company policy states that all creative suggestions without proper permissions will be declined. In your case it is a simple copyright infringement since you are making money off of material that is not yours. Without the proper permissions to use the material for a financial gain, even if all proceeds were given to a charity, the company has the right to deny you usage. The idea of these items are very cool and creative, but next time make sure you have proper permissions before starting. ENDING TRANSMISSION:
-
I wanted to buy some of these shirts :(
-
-
This could have been so sick... I still reserve hope that it will continue to be so in the future. Until then, lighter sigil.
