Staring hard at the tree

We are midway through the site testing process. EpicJustice.com is still up on the test server and I still don't feel quite ready to proceed with the friend's alpha just yet.
We are mostly there with the front end of the purchase process and will be concentrating on making the Great Justice page and associated invite, vote and comment process work better. Some code, layout and graphic mod will be required for us to get to that point.
The goal of this week on the site development side is to get smooth out the wrinkles in the final voting functions and have the site ready for friend alpha by Friday.

The ad graphic for the front page came out good, this is the image that will go up in the next few days:
I wanted the image of a girl but couldn't quite figure out how to make the idea of a man's tshirt work with a female image.
After some experimentation it appears that having the design overlay directly over female body parts as a tattoo conveys the appropriate image. Not in an harmonious fashion but rather imposing. I like the idea so much I'll have to make a few more image and perhaps have a scrolling flash image made for the front page.

On the shirt design front, I still need to come up with the design for the printed neck tag. Also I am not happy with the Fail version of the above design, I need a new design that will match the direction of what have now become a personal favorite.
