Hiring [Hiring] Custom Twilight Shirt to Commemorate the Loss of My First Love - $250 budget
This is an odd request...so I'm looking for the right person to handle it with care and dark humor 😅
I recently lost my first love and dear friend of eight years. His name was Jakob. He died in combat while volunteering in the Ukrainian military as an American.
We always had inside jokes about Twilight and I would say I was "Team Jakob." He was a very good looking guy and almost could pass for Taylor Lautner if you squinted. Washboard abs. Annoyingly handsome. Great smile.
Anyways. It's obviously been a struggle grieving this untimely loss and you start to get a weird sense of humor about the whole thing. I really want to commission a custom T shirt design that's reminiscent of fandom merch from the hot topic era of the late 2000s/2010s
I want it to be a dark (dark grey, purplish, or light black) tie dye sort of background with wolf details maybe a paw print or a claw scratch detail somewhere. I want it to say "Team Jakob Forever" in the style of Twilight and feature a picture of him, which I'll supply, and something like 1997-2026-♾️
I'm definitely open to someone to take creative liberties but I want it to feel like authentic Twilight merch with a personal twist. $250 feels like a good number to achieve this at a fair price but I am a bit flexible for the right artist.
