A is the sleepiest in my opinion. Great sketch!

@bharris

Your palettes are very interesting. How are you creating them?

@Beatriz-"Bett" The shape and stylization of this lion exists. It is known as "The Lion of Israel" and is actually still used in Israel.

@Lee-White @KelvinBurnett3 This reminds me of a story from 20 some years ago... I remember in college the owner of one of my favorite galleries in town paid a surprise visit to our Senior Seminar class - it was Laura Russo and when she walked unannounced into the room it went dead quite - she did not say a word - walked in sat at the desk at the front of the class and placed a stack of large identical looking manila envelopes on her left - she silently opened the lashings of the first envelope ....pulled the sheet of slides half way out of the envelope....held it up to the lights and finally spoke - " if I'm not interested by now, I'm not interested"..... she then let the slides slide back into the envelope - placed the envelope on her right and picked up the next hopeful contestant - a bit theatrical but very informative - It was shocking for all of us - we imagined that folks would pour over your work with great interest given how much we ourselves are investing in it - but the reality was that she received so many submissions from people hoping to get into her gallery that this had become the process - this definitely reinforces the "should read well at postage stamp size" advice - anyways sorry about the tangent.... kind of a fun story though 🙂

@Rich-Green I know you don't want him to stand out, he's not the main focus. It is just my opinion 🙂

I really like the coolness of this piece. One quick suggestion...I feel like the grass directly behind the lower moai would not have a highlight, but would also be in the shadow.

What? No chimichangas??!?! Excellent work guys 😃

Unless the lighting is really exaggerated in some way, I'd think about local tones first and add the light on top of that.

Thanks guys for your positive feedback. 🙂
What do you think about these panels?
One is showing Peppers arrival at home. I have to add some details at the house as well as some highlights and shadows.
The night panel is pretty much done. Every comment and suggestion is very welcome. Thanks!

@shinjifujioka let pretend nothing ever happened 😃

Just realized another solution might be to remove the candles altogether, and give everyone lit pumpkins, light coming up from a pumpkin would be like a flashlight under their faces, the creepiest kind of light. Just a thought...

@Lee-Holland - thank you so much!

@johntatulliart - glad you enjoyed the post and hopefully it helps inspire some of your personal practice work! Never know where that might lead to in the future on other assignments you take on!

@bharris @lindsayraecarr @NoWayMe @Thrace @Jiří Kůs Thank you all! I'm a little discouraged about the turn out, but I will keep trying. Unfortunately I am out of time and have to send it to the printer for my friend. I learned SO much in this process though, and that's what matters. Can't wait to make another!

Feel free to Critique! I know that there is SOOOOOOOOOO much that I could fix, but for me this is it. Thanks for all of your encouragement!

@linsayraecarr Thank you!
@Thrace Thanks Thrace!
@Kevin-Longueil Thanks a lot for sharing the idea, and I think it's great! Maybe i should give it the black bar and illustration borders to disguise their attention. I have not totally decided what font or design yet, I just threw something in there haha. I actually find the Cap very distracting. I'll go do something and I think should design the layout before I continue. Thanks again 😃

nice work, love your feel for color, composition and style, try to practice your hands and feet, it will give it that extra punch! but overal great work!! keep it up 😉

Probably the reading from left to right that we dont consciously think about. The vertical one lets me see the house first which may change after you put in value and color.

@Ace-Connell thank you.

I love it! beautifully done.

The hippo background is especially nice. It shows dimension where some of the others are blurred and flat.
