Hey there! I'm a long time Facebook TeeFury fan, and I decided to try my hand at making a shirt. FINALLY. Haha!
So, my idea is a MashedPotato of Jones soda and Indiana Jones. Here is what I've made so far — enough to get the concept across, though FAR from finished. What do you think?

Things I specifically want help on:
-- What should the picture be? His dog? The idol from the first film? The Grail? What do you want it to be?
-- The twisty cap smurfs. For some reason I can't get it to look natural (my biggest problem being the 6 color limit)
-- Would you buy this shirt? If no, why?
-- Any design improvements whatsoever, be it to the concept or the execution.
Please tell me ANYTHING that comes to mind about the design, good or bad. I want this baby picked, so I want as much critique as possible.
Thanks!

EDIT: Whoaaa how do I get the image to post?!

And yes, I'd buy the shirt. Just tweak it a bit. I'm not a designer so I have no real expert advise other than saying that right now it looks sorta plain... but a GREAT idea that I'd love to see improved.
Yeah, this is pretty much the design at its bare bones, haha. I am tweaking like crazy and the bottle is only halfway done, but I like where it's headed!
I was thinking of adding his "lucky charm", his lighter (that his dad set fire to the castle room with), but I don't want it to get cluttered... I will add different things and see how they look :D
Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep posting WIP shots as it progresses :)
Also, anyone know how to get the image to show up? I did the tag thing and it didn't seem to work... D:
The chilled monkey brain aspect has been done before, so a small suggestion is to use something like, a date? (the fruit, that is, a reference from Raiders).
I was stuck between the monkey brain and dates!!! haha! But I couldn't come up with a good name for the flavor except "Not-Poisoned" :( So I also could use suggestions for that ;D
Surfercat, thanks for the comment! and LOL your pic is awesome XD
Here is the WIP I failed to post above X(
Thanks! :D It's really funny that you should comment on it in this thread because the cat I used for the model is my cat Indy, named after Indiana Jones! I think it bodes well for this design's success :P
Lemme know your thoughts! :D
I agree, it would be cool to work the idol into the original design, maybe even if you put that label from the second design onto the bottle in the first.
Thanks so much for the feedback, dudes! You rock :)
