A design that is fairly dear to me. I would like to first note this is probably one of the first things I have ever done in this vein for this purpose. This has also been kickin' around for almost two years now. If anyone has any feedback they could give, I’m not sure if it appears too flat or not. If need be I will draw it instead of the manipulation I did. Thank you.
I think the shirt its laid on needs to be darker...

the bloody splatter stuff is way too solid. you look right at it cuz it’s just a big solid block of red there.

This is true...
I originally had done it so that space would have type in it. However it never ended up going anywhere.
Would you suggest more of a hand drawn dripping or something to that effect? Mind you I guess I would also have to redraw all of it (which I am completely ok with).

i agree with joey, the blood area is too big.
in visual hierarchical terms, one visual should be the child or orphan or subordinate (or whatever you want to call it) to the other. the blood and the girl are competing for hierarchy right now. (as i type this im trying to sound like one of my design teachers lol)
its really cool, basically just reduce the blood area. maybe if you could just select the blood below the girl and bring it up 6 inches or so on the girl that could work. or if you were talking about leaving that blood area open for text, think of something you could put there text-wise and do it in some kind of gore/horror/comic type font...or just draw it yourself. it would give the design another element.
also to be nit picky, i notice her eye is white. lets say you were getting this printed, it would cost more just to have that little bit of white in her eye. perhaps change it to 2 color print? white and red on black, as opposed to flesh, blood, and white on black.
also the shirt looks like dark gray instead of black.
lol sorry for such a long critique, but i really think its on its way to being a really bad-ass tee. good job!

I want long ones filled with opinions. I am glad you picked up on the white though. I realize that its kinda meaningless, but this has changed over 2 years. Originally done for one of my friends bands, there was the bands name in that area etc. I can see what you mean about the blood, I always felt that there was something a little off so I will try and do something with that.
I just am not sure if it is too flat?
I will adjust the colour of the shirt later, and probably change the eye to a flesh tone.
Anyone have comments on placement?

In that case you should have her head no longer on her body.
Just fill the blank space that is her neck with hella spurting.
And spooge.
