@withlinesofink in voting for #1, 8 or 27 
those speak the most to me and I could see them turning out really nice cant wait to see what you pick!
@ambiirae Thank you! Any thoughts of why you were drawn to those specifically?
@withlinesofink I think #27 shows the most independent. I do like #1 a lot but it feels more confidence then Independence.
I like 5 and 27 for the prompt Independent. I also think 1 and 4 are fun drawings, but don't match the prompt as accurately as some of the other ideas.
I think it would help to have a little explanation of the thumbnails I think the choices that people are making are somewhat because these are the most refined/legible... which doesn't mean the others don't have potential!

@nowayme That's very legitimate. I have a hard time finding a balance between too loose and too tight on my roughs. I'm going to take some of everyone's favorites and do some tighter variations.
@withlinesofink Or you can just give us a general idea of the story behind them. Already with a bit of story I think they would be clearer! And by the way, I am really impressed by the number of thumbnail you made! I always try to do at least 10, but 27 is great! Maybe this time I will try doing more.

@nowayme Good thought. I edited the original post with some rough explanations. My problem has always been too many ideas and then struggling to choose one and actually make it look.. good. I actually average around 50 thumbnails per project.
@WithLinesOfInk With the explanations, I'm personally rather fond of 24! Though the composition of 18 could be a lot of fun to see too.
Nice group of ideas here! I like viking kids in the boat idea the best. Number two is the girl building sandcastles at the beach. The girl setting the firefly/bird/dragon free for number three.
@bnewman 24 is my favourite. 
Great start on the tumbnails! BUT, I would pick your top 5 that YOU like, take then to a nicer toned rough sketch stage and then get feedback. With this many options and how loose they are now, the feedback you get will be random and too varied to really use.

@lee-white Haha I'm starting to realize that >.<. It's been a long time since I looked to such a large group for advice. But It definitely helped me get a feel for what people were responding to, so 6 tidier roughs is the next step. Thanks Lee!
@withlinesofink I think a lot of us can relate to #27!
I'm not sure I'll finish this one in time but here's a few more options, tidied up a bit! Anyone have a favorite? Thoughts on why?
I like the story you are telling in number 4 the best but I think you'll need to work on the composition a bit. I think all the thumbs are great. I'd love to see some finished versions of #1 and #2 .
@withlinesofink Now that I see these I like #4 the best for this prompt but all these are good. Hope you get to finish!
I think #4 fits the best for the theme, but I really like #5. I would like to see that one complete. The lighting on it would be really cool.
@withlinesofink I'd have to agree with some of the other SVS brethren ... #4 appears to be a standout for this theme. Cool stuff
I agree with 4 as well, but I think you should definitely bring some of the others to completion when you can. They are great!
