      Oh wow! I woke up from a birthday sugar coma to a slew of awesome advice Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the advice and mockups. I'm gonna implement these changes and I think it'll be much stronger for it. Who knew that graphic design would be a skill set all on its own?

      @Lee-White A serial killer version of Charlie Brown drawn on a missive from the Internal Revenue Service that you chucked into the garbage . . . Feels like there's a metaphor for something, somewhere in there . . .

      Hello there, this is the initial sketch for my fairy tale inn submission. A careless giant who long ago turned to stone has become the host of a mouse-run inn. Beetle steeds can be parked under the foot and food is served by the chef from the hip-hut. The proprietor of the establishment lives atop the lofty perch of the knee-house. Mips the trusty lookout is keeping an eye out for any roaming cats from atop the old giant club. My initial attempts to draw the giant in anything resembling a correct perspective failed miserably, so I posed a character in 3D software to get it right instead. This actually turned out to be a great alternative (or complement) to thumbnailing, where you move the camera around until you find a composition that looks good. Hope you like it - feedback and ideas are very welcome.

      @Declan-Konesky so they aren’t as good, but I’ve used Adobe illustrator in the past to make books using art boards, and I believe photoshop now also lets you make art boards . Not sure about Ipad capabilities, but I’ve used them in a pinch

      @Braden-Hallett @Lee-White Hmmm. This explains a lot. Now, who do I bribe to get the best pairing? Like, I want a really good seed in the bracket, too. No more of this pairing me with the top seed. I want to be paired with number 16 on the list... (Wait! That's me?!? Oh...Well, time to put in really cute mice, I guess...)

      Looks good to me. I also like @joosterwijk 's idea to make it more imposing by lowering the eye level. I think this is a very cool and fun idea and very original. I like the name, too.

      I listen to a lot of DnD podcasts that I've heard before (Sneak Attack) so that I don't have to focus too much. Other than that, mostly asmr, low fi or even audiobooks help sometimes. But then again I'm also the person who "watches" tv while I work too.

      I have a DVD copy of this documentary. It's a great insight into his work. And yeah...the wealth definitely allowed him to fail a bit more easily

      Cool pic! As far as story telling - Are the things scattered on the floor because he's been swatting at tiny dragon flies? Is he just missing them? Is he going to hit the one coming through the window? Perhaps some squished dragon flies on the walls and floor would answer some questions. If he's at war with the one in the window, its body gesture is not showing a fly in battle mode. It is a fly passively floating through an open window.
