GYFB Shirt Designs Update

This shirt design is kicking my ass but I think it’s getting stronger with each revision thanks, in no small part, to your suggestions.

After completing the Josh art I am leaning one of two directions.

Joel, Eli and the planet in the background will be light or ghosted. Probably grayscale.

Oh, also I’m thinking this will work best on a black shirt. Any other ideas?

Ignore the background color. I just used a neutral gray to sketch over. I think Joel and Eli would be in gray tones kind of in shadow.

Thoughts?
