@alexw you should put the black & white version in the submission post. Something Lee said at the end of the last HTFYA video makes me think they are going to talk about rendering in November. No matter if you want pointers on your color rendering or on your black and white rendering style i think it would benefit the lesson they put together to see your piece in both color and black and white. And include your prompt sentence in the sub! I loved that context.
Overall im a huge fan—great story, dynamic composition, interesting and expressive readable characters. I think if they got to see both render trys they could have a really insightful conversation about rendering (which I really hope they do, because they have already hit story and composition like 5 times)
cheers
