Very rough mockup of a potential new submission. Should I go with it?

hahaha! umm...hmm... my one suggestion is change the color below the belt so he's not nude.

check out mine?

As long as he doesn't look like that loathsome genie from Aladdin, then yes!

He doesn't. He looks like Joe!

^ circle gets the square

I have no idea what that means.

Not sure how I feel about the head as the genie head bit, but a well executed lamp and stylized genie could make for a good design.

sorry...game show reference for good/correct answer...ie your response made me laugh...

Well, that's kind of the whole concept. I'm not usually one for gimmicky designs but my usual stuff generally bombs here.

There is a lot of potential here. Great concept. I think going in a fun cartoony direction is the way to go. You just have to figure out how much you want it to look like those oversized man with muscles or girl in a bikini shirts. Great start.

the smoke of the genie could use a bit more flare into it, right like smoke like effect.

I think the linework also need a lot of touching up as well as the lamp, as far as the concept is sorta cool, just needs work :)

Like I said, it's very rough - literally a one minute job to show the concept/placement!

for this type of shirt it's a great concept. I'd say run with it

cool looking forward to more!
Maybe you were going to change this already and just haven't gotten around to it but I wouldn't use a specific skin tone color for the genie as you are now. . . I'm thinking it might look cool if you did the whole genie as just one ink in like black or dull blue or something and had the lamp red maybe I dunno

Keep developing it! Could go over well here.

Could work. Looks like he has one kind of a merman like leg though.

Mm, good concept, but the illustration needs work. And the genie should totally be blue!

this is a great start--you should make the genie more smoke-like as he's coming out of the lamp. also, i don't like your color scheme, orange, red-orange, and tan just don't work for me (but maybe it's just me?). personally, i would go for a gold foil on the lamp and some kind of strange toxic mint-green for the genie and do everything else (belt, arm cuffs, linework) in black. good luck with it. definitely pursue it--it's a great idea.

i am currently working on a design that is similar to your "bone idol" sub in general concept--do you think you could help me out with some crits if you have a minute? not trying to spam, just think you could be a big help. just go to my profile, it's the only critique on there. thanks!

This is just a sketch to show concept - the final design won't look a bit like it.

the concept is great! go for it!

Pls critique Mr. Time

It's very good concept! I look forward to seeing the finished work.

Crit mine!

hahahaha! now that's a fun concept!

i don't really think you'd need more details, i'm for bold lines too, esp. on t-shirts.

I'd just say you could develop a lighter, curvy, smoky shape for the bottom part of the geenie!

I'm for concept and shapes too, as you can see on my two works in progress:

Swamp action and Tandem family

Please take a look + have your say, if you have the time!
