oh i think the area where his legs are is way too busy. I dont really think all those weird shapes help me decipher that he has to legs .. visual clutter.. i think less is more.. like in the face youve just hinted at the other side of his face and yet i can fill in the blanks myself mentally and figure out what the other side of his face might look like
Did some Blockhead. Made a lil' Mastermind. Co-created Madness: Project Nexus. I love you so much!

Did you see the update? I have a link to a copy with the Mastermind text up top, which might solve the leg problem as well as the logo problem. If I make the image smaller, maybe 150% the size of the NG Tank shirt's logo, we might have a winner. But then again, the text just kinda makes the image taller, which could be good or bad yet. I JUST DONT KNOW.
I could probably get rid of the clutter from the leg on his left/our right.
It looks like the time professor guy is in the game. Can I assume blockhead will make a cameo as well?
I think the red and the grey one looks more apealing. Ha what your favorite?
Add a quote from the mastermind series such as "Hong Kong, Ching chang chong, show of hands, who here speaks chinese?" or less words than that.
got another "and try not to replace the stain WITH ANOTHER"
Haha, I don't know if anyone's parents would but them that one :O
When I clicked the link I was a bit disappointed to see that there wasn't any red in it, but I felt better when I saw the shirts. Maybe you could incorporate red into the logo, so each shirt gets some of the awesomeness that's in the cartoon? Maybe make the moon red?
Aaaand...
That's all I've got.
Red doesn't match with everything, and because I'm not certain of the color of the shirt yet, I thought it better to leave the coloring black/white. That was if I decide to go with red, it'll be through the color of the shirt.
Does the Newgrounds staff change this garbage for you, to not ruin your series?

It's not ruining my series. No one who watches that thinks for a second that it's mine.
I like the design, and just to agree with Luis in a way. I believe the pants are a little TOO shaded. Maybe thats just my thought though.
Otherwise another design or two wouldn't be half bad with just something simple. Like you've said, a Quote. Those always work well.
Other than that, the longer than 5 minute wait for Mastermind 4/Game is slowly killing me on the inside, but don't worry, its only terminal.
You'll be able to take that frustration out on the world soon enough. Patienceeee
I love the simplicity, and that red one is so freaking mine! Are you going to make one with a henchman or henchmen? OOH! what if you have a henchman holding a gun (still smoking) and behind him is # 2 dead on the ground, and as a subtitle put "The new # 2" that would be badass!
Awaiting a Blockhead tshirt.
That looks pretty cool though. I might get one. I hate buying shirts over the internet though, cause when they get here, they always fit awkwardly and I never end up wearing them. They also all seem to be made of the most skin-irritatingly cheap material.
I like the design, but at the same time I agree with the logo people. What you should do is release a red shirt with this design on one side and the logo on the other. That's why tshirts have a front and back side after all!
Looking forward to both the Mastermind and Blockhead episodes.
Make one with "engage de doom laser!" on it and you'll be made of win ^^
i would definatly buy one with a picture of mastermind on the front and one of his funny quotes one the back, that would be so baddass.
Hmm cool design, here are my thoughts about some details that i liked or think should be changed to make it even better :P
Shirt color: love the red dont change it, i think the blue could go a shade darker though but that one may just be personal preferance, and the gray would do better a shade lighter to add some more contrast with the black design.
The design backround: I Love it the white moon looks great with the black, and the radar or w/e is crisp and simple; optimal for a shirt.
The mastermind: overall very well done, but 2 things do bug me...
1. the left arm is kind of fading into the backround so it looks somewhat strange.
2. the abdomen area is too busy, I normaly love details but this looks a bit overdone.
Other: I like the mastermind text, no complaints with text or size, it would be a fine addition to the shirt.
The "Scratches" or whatever those are supposed to be around the window are definatly the least appealing thing about this design. They distract from the focal point of the mastermind, and dont add anything; just looks messy...
On another note i love the mastermind series and also enjoy the blockhead cartoons. Keep up the good work and perhaps consider my suggestions for the shirt design.
I'm banking on Luis's suggestion of fixing the legs, which would kinda even out the busy abdomen. I think once I nail one, it'll clear up the other ;) Guess I'll find out in the next mock-up.
i think it is a great idea! though his legs are a little too muscley..y. But i would totally buy a red shirt and totally get a blockhead shirt!
I'm really liking Mastermind, but what about Blockhead? It's been a while ever since you put a Blockhead episode here
This is true. It will come.
I didn't mean it ruins the series just because it was horrible.
I mean't because they named it Mastermind 4.
It just throws off the chronological order of ther series.
needs more butts
i'm on it
Do want...
Bad...
Too bad I'm one of those "Doesn't buy anything off of the internet" guys.
But still,
Do want...
Blockhead doesn't only appeal to Europeans; think about the Aussies!
Aussies are unofficial Europeans, I think :D They certainly aren't Asians, and "Oceana" means nothing to me :O
Luis
im gonna jump on the bandwagon and agree with the logo people... even in the design maybe having a distinctive type that says mastermind under the design would a)ground the design and b)help establish identity or branding of sorts
