Okay, so I wanted to make some custom merch, inspired by Brian Ortega. Here’s how I went about it, from start to finish.

Brainstorming and Design
First, I spent some time just thinking about what I wanted. I knew I wanted something simple, not too flashy, but still recognizable as a nod to Brian Ortega. I started by sketching out some ideas on paper. Just rough stuff, nothing fancy.
- I thought about using his nickname, “T-City,” but that felt a little too obvious.
- I considered a silhouette, but my artistic skills are, shall we say, limited.
- Finally, I decided to focus on a stylized version of his triangle choke, since that’s such a signature move.
I played around with different triangle shapes, trying to make it look dynamic and cool.I really did many times of tries.
Getting it Digital
Once I had a rough sketch I was happy with, I needed to get it into a digital format. I used my phone to take * just looks not bad.
I opened the image and started tracing over my sketch. I adjusted the lines, smoothed things out, and basically tried to make it look less like a child’s drawing and more like a professional design.
Choosing the Merch
With the design ready, I needed to decide what kind of merch I wanted. I considered a few options:

- T-shirts: Always a classic, and pretty easy to get printed.
- Hoodies: Good for cooler weather, and offer a bigger canvas for the design.
- Stickers:A cheap option, and I liked it.
Finally,I chose T-shirts.
Printing and Production
I uploaded my design, chose the shirt color and sizes, and placed my order. It was pretty straightforward, to be * most exciting part!I am expecting for it!
The Final Product
After a bit of a wait , my custom Brian Ortega-inspired T-shirts arrived! They looked awesome! The design came out really clean, and the shirts were good quality. I was super happy with how they turned out.
So, That is my merch * you can get something my experience.
