Never Not Riding         Rekta Galan Keng Dalan

A exclusive collaboration of RGKD and an international lifestyle brand based from Brooklyn, New York, Never Not Riding. The shirt features NNR’s signature panther head mixed with RGKD’s usual utilitarian reflective design in white pocket tee t-shirt.

Being part of this collaboration is an honor. Highly appreciated for Griffin for taking me to be part of this project. Thanks man! 

The process of the panther design is quit challenging yet enjoying.

We come up with two different designs, brainstorming together and execute the ideas.

The idea is a usual fixed gear rider and replacing his head into a panther's head.

Below are the choices for the character illustration for back portion design.

A panther's head and a usual body of a rider. I created a 2 version for this head. First a usual panther's head with a open mouth, second a panther's head with a rider's outfit with a hat and it's expression. 

The output in wireframe preview. I digitized the design using adobe illustrator, Using a wacom pentab I start digitizing the design using a brush strokes for the lineart and fill the some part and adding some elements on the designs and details.

Here is the final design for the back portions, applying the text and also the main subject which is the illustration of the panther. Text are apply by Griffin and I do the final touch for creating and preparing the final files.

Here is the final mock up for the NNR x RGKD collaboration project.

American sizing with a left pocket with both team logo printed.

Back portion design with the final output also with a reflective for both team logos also with a woven tag at the bottom portion of the shirt and an inner label included.
