The look I'm going for is cute, but maybe I should make it more badass for the fellas?
I like him so far, I just think I need to tighten up some lines. What about you guys?
I appriciate the comments and suggestions so far. New drawings will be added to the OP as they need to be. I also really haven't made many threads in this forum so, mabye it will evolve into a dump thread.

also there isn't any coloring on the jetpack or jetpack straps, and i would suggest giving the flames some orange and reds, it would really contrast nicely with the blue of the shirt.
Cafepress better?

Anyways, you need to just draw and practice more before thinking of selling shirts. This design would not get very far on threadless. Sorry if this sounds "mean", but I'm kind of tired of worrying about sounding mean on these forums. You need to learn more, draw more, etc.
All of srsizzy's examples are more interesting and the last one gives a good feeling of that simple cuteness. There's not much too it, but there is a definite flow and crispness that sells it.
I personally think the goggles up the cute factor, but they seem to clutter up the face with detail.
EDIT: srsizzy, good input. I came up with other compositions for this already, and they do look similar to yours in some ways. And you're not mean, in my opinion. I like to hear crticism in a direct and honest way.
Updating OP.

One rough sketch and some quick colors later.

to srsizzy - Yeah, I can see what you're saying. Does it play up the cuteness of it to be more of a sketch-look?
to MegaMan001 - I agree that it clearly needs to be an otter. I like the on the back pose the most and the holding face in surprise should stay a part of the composition too.
Silly otter!
I forgot to respond to this before. Yeah, I've tried Cafepress with some other designs and the printing quality on the shirts is pretty bad. Like, it looks very cheap and faded. You guys know of any other web place to print out some quality shirts?

Photoshop, yes. Even though it was paintbucket'd It looks fine to me on screen in the program, but now that I look at it again I see what you mean. Commencing to edit.
You are correct, sir! However I did notice this problem and tend to fix it post haste!
So, I rotated him a bit. The reason I don't have his back flush to the jet pack is that it seems it would burn his fur or something? I don't know, that's the only reason I've got for drawing it that way, which now seems silly.
On the jetpack's straps....the one on our left (his right) isn't outlined in black like the other one. Is that a mistake that I found or is that how it is supposed to be?

After looking at it closely, I'm not sure what you mean. Both jetpack straps look to be outlined in black to me. Do you mean the shadow that is on the (his left) one?
