While the cartoon T-shirt display does look good, it would be fantastic if Redbubble could trial the Model T-Shirt Display Images – Basically taking a photo of one guy + girl in slightly different poses (each pose represents 1 t-shirt colour) and using that as our display images.
I noticed that in the shop (http://www.redbubble.com/shop/t-shirts) there is a photo of a guy wearing a blue shirt but when you see the shop its all cartoon style, which I feel lets down the sales.
While I understand the depth and effort this would take (and also that the preview on the sales page is an actual printed shirt), it will be worth it in the end as ‘realistic’ mock-ups tend to sell better – As the saying goes, “The more I can see it, the more I can believe it, and the more I want it”.

How to do it:
1. Get a girl and Guy model
2. Take 30 shots of guy in one t-shirt in slightly different poses
3. Do the same for girl
4. Photoshop the t-shirt area and make duplicate images in different t-shirt colours
5. Do the same for ‘back-view’, hoodie etc

zazzle do it. Would like RB to do it too

Agreed – zazzle does some 3D wrapping magic so any design can fit on like 50 different models. They look so much better I use them to illustrate the shirt here, but also as a link back to the same design on zazzle.
Almost as if to illustrate your point again, Diesel, is my page for X-CITY ROCKERS II — you can see the RB cartoon model+design, and the zazzle rendition of same design.
