I’m looking for some feedback on this design. I made some adjustments to the composition and placement since my previous post.

Hmm… as in the horizontal bands you see on old school analogs? Thanks for taking a look, I’ll have to see what I can do with that.
Here’s the original design and placement:


Here’s a detail of the scanlines I added:

I really like the original design, but I’m not sure it’s going to be printable because the design takes up the entire shirt. I know that sometimes they’ll print a wrap around design, but I’m pretty sure it has to either fit certain requirements or be extremely popular. Hopefully I can get some commentary from Wotto or Inked.
Not crass at all. I like the design but I feel the figure and the background are competing for my eyeballs attention. A more subtle background would allow the figure to pop better. I would also reconsider using the halftones on the skull head, they make the body and head look disjointed like two separate pieces of art. Fix those two issue and I think you’ll stand a better chance. A good example of a similar winning design is SUIT UP by K-19
Hmmm…you can barely see them in the exported file, but the halftones are repeated throughout the figure as well in the pinstripes on the suit. I faded them out in some areas to give the figure more volume. I might see if I can bump them up a bit so they’re more visible. Unless you mean the scanlines? I was a little wary of them myself but I thought I’d give them their day in court because they fit in with the concept. I see what you mean about the background. It’s actually one of my favorite parts since I love looking at figures that are fading away or breaking apart, but it’s definitely not the only available avenue. I love the example you posted. I thought of something similar when I first read your comment. I’ll see what I can do with it when I’ve got some more time. Thanks for the advice :)
How about some scanlines to make the skull look like it’s being displayed on the TV?
