TikToker shows off incredible Pokemon tie-dye shirt

TikToker dysengoodvibes, also known as Austin Mackereth, went viral after posting an extremely elaborate tie-dye project featuring Pokemon.

The project featured a full-length t-shirt design centered around Generation 2’s Ho-Oh shooting a brilliant rainbow-colored beam out of its beak.

The elaborate process, which Mackereth dubbed the “Honeycomb Beam,” was a “scrunched image design” that apparently took over 16 hours and multiple sessions to fully complete.

During the first part of the tie-dye process, the TikToker laid out the basic design of Ho-Oh and filled in its primary colors, which took about “nine and a half hours of tieing and dyeing.”

Next, the tie-dye artist shows the t-shirt intricately wrapped in strings and plastic covering in order to color specific parts of the shirt. This next portion of the project was all part of a separate session and took another seven hours.

However, the finished project is absolutely stunning, with vibrant rainbow colors framing Ho-Oh beautifully.

Viewers also seemed enamored with the shirt, as the TikTok quickly gained over 1 million views and over 201,700 likes.

Mackereth’s full profile features designs that incorporate other pop-culture media like Rick and Morty, Dragon Ball Z, and Futurama. Additionally, the tie-dye artist has also done several more Pokemon-themed shirts. Those interested in seeing more stylish creations should definitely give dyesngoodvibes a follow.
