Bolt Thrower "Realm of Chaos" backpatch I designed and produced back in June of 2023.
I always wanted a backpatch of this particular album which is my favorite of this band. But the odds were to cut-out a t-shirt or use one of the few existing awful woven backpatches that existed back then.
I wanted an old-school looking screen-printed backpatch so the only way to have one was to make it myself.
And I had A LOT of fun making this design! It took me around a week to make it in my free time. Everything was hand-drawn (as all of my designs).
We procured to make it as old-school as possible and even the border has a similar thread weaving similar to those nice old backpatches. There was a lot of love in the process of this backpatch and still to this day I think it's my best design and probably my most beloved one.
Then as it happens nowadays with the modern meme of what became the patch game some clown scanned the backpatch and reproduced it as a woven backpatch with full glitter thread and a different title. Of course with colored borders.
Quick cash-grab with zero effort like 99.9% of BT bootlegs.
Anyways.
I have a spare backpatch for trade or sale, hit me up if you're interested!

YO this fucks actually! You did this yourself? I really want to learn how to do this. I'm not a big fan of the woven backpatches either. Is there some kind of guide you followed that you could share?
Corrosive on
Thanks bro!! Well, I actually hand-drawn all of my designs. It takes time and dedication but patches and backpatches made this way truly stand out. It's basically the same (or most similar) designing concept as '80s and '90s merchandise. You can take a look at my old catalogue: https://tshirtslayer.com/group/retaliation-prods-patches

Wow that even more impressive then that you drew them yourself! Im a pretty artistic person but I cant draw for shit 😂
What material do you use as a canvas for it? Are there like pre-cut blank backpatches you buy or do you cut and border them yourself? I was looking online and couldn't really figure out what I should be looking for.
Sorry to bug you with so many questions, I just really want to try this!
