This time I thought I'd explore one of the great what-ifs of our civilization. Many have wondered what would have happened if our good lord had not died on the cross, but had instead used his heavenly powers to escape the guards that persecuted him.
"What if Jesus had gone on living with the living?" is one of the great hypotheticals of the ages, and I think it would have gone a little something like this.
This design is all in good fun; no feelings meant to be hurt. If you take your Sundays really seriously, you may want to turn away for this one or vote a big zero.
Enjoy.

It's just kind of ugly.

Sorry man. I would laugh if it was done better.

Blasphemous!

Sorry, not digging it...

Honestly, it's a great concept, but you probably could've handled it a little better. I didn't know heavenly powers included heat-vision. I just thought it was healing and stuff. :\

$4

Why don't you make him turn green and give him the ability to stretch too while you're at it?

HAHAHA! I think it's hilarious! I wouldn't wear it, but funny nonetheless.

A laser-eyed savior leads to much hilarity...but the aesthetic in the art is abismal.

Bah you all dont realize this IS what happened, and Superman was really Jesus. The star of Bethlehem fell to earth from krypton, and Mary was a Virgin liar who raised an alien son, and claimed 'god' did it.

I love the blasphemy. but the artwork leaves something to be desired.

How come Jesus doesn't have any pubes? The last sub I saw with him he had a big patch of pubes. It doeslook like the training paid off, though. SURPRISE!!!

Want to give it a 3, but some bible smacker will give it a zero, so 5 will counteract that, making it a 2.5. Close enough.

not digging the blasphemy...

What mezo said... I'd like to maybe see the centurians melting or disintegrating or something...

mmm, i wasn't really going for blasphemy with this design.
i'd like to think of this as a rendering of the modern american jesus, the one that george is calling on to help smite the wicked ones. if god supports revenge by way of slaughter the way bush seems to think he does, this is a pretty fair representation of that god.
just a thought, you know, kickin' the old peanut around.

Okay that little comment^ just got you a 0.

yeah, i agree with the above comment.

and bush has nothing to do with it too.

Mythographically your "hypothetical situation" makes little to no sense. Anyone who is by any mean Bible-literate would realize this. Regardless of design, your intent is strange because this what-if of civilization could only result in the nonexistence of Christianity. I mean, in that way I guess it is passingly blasphemous.

Maybe historically? But Jesus was a sort of puny guy. He was into... you know, talking and stuff.

It's lulz, but I wouldn't wear it

YEAH!
this is wearable

Blasphemous T-shirts? I'm not a big fan of making political\religious statements through the clothes I wear. But other than that ... not too bad of a design.

The hypothetical idea of this cooooooooould make a good tee... But that's a huuuuuuge stretch. Seriously... subject matter is what decides whether or not tees are printed... Jesus using laser vision to kill guards is just NOT a good tee idea. Sorry.

bahahaha...

interesting concept...on an illustration note, i think it's a little busy, and the airbrushed white circle is strange...

Yes! 5$!!!

Funny, yet not something I'd wear to grandma's

Not gory enough. Also, not offensive enough. maybe if jesus was saying something like "What's up now, bitches? I saved your ass and now I'm gonna frag your ass"

just plain stupid

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS! $5!!!!!!

Jesus could have flown down anytime, but God's plan was deeper, more profound. Because of the s... sorry - feces in Eden hitting the fan, Jesus had to die to reconcile man to God. It is a mystery we may never understand completely.

So... what if jesus had heat-ray vision??? (oh, and killed people -- kinda against his "thing" he had going, y'know love thy neighbour and such.... speaking of which why can u love thy neighbour but can't covet his/her ass? Surely that is all part of the loving?)

If it was done better I'd find it funny... plus don't like the text.

if it said what kihou recommended I would buy that shit

How come no one ever portrays Jesus the way he actually looked?

"Both his nature and his form were human: for he was a man of simple appearance, mature age, short growth, three cubits tall [about 4 and a half feet, based on the Jewish cubit], with scanty hair, but having a line in the middle of the head after the fashion of the Naziraeans, eyebrows meeting above the nose so that the spectators could take fright, with a long face, a long nose, and with an undeveloped beard, dark skin, and hunchbacked." (The Messiah Jesus and John the Baptist According to Flavius Josephus, Robert Eisler, Ph.D.; The Dial Press, New York; pp. 425-429)

Actually, unlike everyone who blasted the artist talking about this jesus being the bush version of the lord he belives in, i actually think that is an interesting and intelligent arguement for your design. Apart from that statement of yours, the shirt really doesn't have a cohesive point to it, with the "bless this mess" really not gelling at all to the randomness of the rest of the picture. Plus if jesus DID have heat ray vision, i dont think this would help him much b/c he couldn't burn his own hands off in order to get the nails out of his skin...duh. lol. But seriously, this is an idea that is better left in the reccesses of your mind.

It's hilarious. I get the humor, if only other people weren't so uptight about it...portraying Jesus the way he actually looked? Well, this is already going bounds and leaps beyond reality - come on, nobody -really- has heat vision, so why portray everything else 'accurately'?

However, the way the illustration and overal design could use work. I suggest sticking with solid colours [a lot of it looks like you took the airbrush tool with 100% hardness and swiveled it around], maybe clean up the lineart a little, and consider using different levels of saturation for the colour - the ones you picked vibrate against each other in an undesireable way.

yeah, this design was pretty effed, and i can't really defend it.

but did you ever draw something just because you wanted to see what it looked like? like a dragon riding a unicorn?

is that so fucking wrong?

Too bad...I liked it.

I kinda dig the concept but I would never wear it out in public because the vast majority of people are going to take it the wrong way and that's the kind of pain in the ass I wouldn't want to deal with...

but did you ever draw something just because you wanted to see what it looked like? like a dragon riding a unicorn?
Dude, draw that!

Um creepy....
