Description
Got my batch of test swatches from Spoonflower.Unfortunately, it looks like Nightstalker just comes out as straight black, which is a real shame--although perhaps I shouldn't be too surprised. The reds in Sycamore came out rather more red than I would have liked, too (the yellow-orange is orange, and the orange is pinkish).
The good news is everything else looks fine, including the scale of the pattern.

Good to know how printing works on fabric. Thanks! Patterns look cool and original

I really do like the "Partisan" pattern, and these are especially nice-looking. Also, I'm pretty sure I can make out two primarily horizontal structures in your "Nightstalker" sample, with a bit of variation that seems similar to the forms in the other patterns, so perhaps it doesn't come out straight black.
Thanks for sharing this progress on an excellent piece of work. I sincerely hope we can look forward to more.

Thanks for the compliment, and it's my pleasure. c:
I think it's just a trick of the light though. I double-checked when you mentioned it, but there's nothing but black on the fabric.

When did you make these? Look great not seen these before. Printing can be a pain in the bum sometimes, but also scaling it so you can see the pattern properly is also a joy!!!! But getting our camo into the world is the next step. Have got some camo printed as swatches by Spoonflower as well but not got a scanner , well have an hand held one but a bit apprehensive using it on fabric. Any suggestions??

I guess you can give it a shot--scanners eating colors is a common complaint among artists, so you won't be alone.
These are cropped swatches (lower left corner, specifically) of the pattern I've been working on (Partisan, Type 13, whatever)--I ordered these at the end of May, and just recently got them in the mail. This is what it looks like at its proper size.

So how big is the full pattern then? Is it possible to see these patterns on your DA area? LIKE THE WAY the colours blend into each other on the lighter areas, nicely done.

Cool looking patterns, man!
Yeah, printing tends to compress the color gamut, lumping all dark colors together in a slate-gray mass wherever most inconvenient. XP
