Bliss is like being submerged in water. You have no boundaries, no awarness of up or down. Now add few fish and you got a nice shirt.

arey ou planning to add colour etc to this? what are your plans?

great start... needs something

Beautiful lines. Needs some color, some dimension to the figures.

Yeah, I'm planing to add color but I just need to know if the base was...powerful enough.

The anatomy is a little odd...I do like the subject matter though.

yeah it is but I think it gives it a softness, right?

I like the anatomy. It's sort of... not-quite-human.

Well I am not that good with anatomy, so tell me whats off and I'll try to fix it.

I'm having real trouble deciding what colors to put on it, any ideas?

Maybe white or a light grey for highlights, and some different shades of blues? Maybe a dark purple in there?

I've seen this website get referred to people in critiques a lot. Maybe you'll see something there that grabs you.

Hmm I think some colors added to it would be nice, like maybe make the fish orange and some diff shades of blue. Think it'll look quite nice once theres some shades of colors.

Thanks for the much needed help guys, I think I have a color idea now.

I would try a version keeping this really simple line art. Make the central feature white, and add some more underwater elements—fish, coral, whatever—so it doesn't seen so isolated.

That is to say, only color the lines, don't block shade it.

So the changes are oviuos and I'm gonna add bubbles going to the collar of the shirt from his mouth too. This version is just to ask if you guys think it needs something more. Hope you like it, it took forever!

I think I need to change the color of the hair and fins , its not meshing with the other colors.

Your original line art is much stronger than your colored version. Can we see the lineart, in white, on a blue background, please?

Vary the line width a bit, too.

You have no boundaries

Adding the circle around the picture really kind of blocked that for me. I loved how there was no real definition of an end with the line drawing.

Yeah, I think this version sucks. I loved the original lines too. I just thought people would be bothered by the emptyness. I think I'll just bring the first lines back and place it in the lower left end of the shirt,maybe the right. I 'll make it white with a blue shirt.

Ok, its white with a blue background and I put the whole idea on. I even fixed the anatomy a little. Should I put it on more shirts colors? I was also going to put a ship in the back with bliss on it. Hope you like this version.

im kinda feeling that more contrast is needed between the lines and shirt color... or maybe the white on the light is nice for softness but for some reason i just am not feeling the color

the color of the shirt or the lines?

Here is some different colors.
