@Kevin-Longueil Thanks. Now that you mention it I think the thing bothering me about the the scale. I'll make the kitten larger and maybe the three characters will fit together better.

I'm a biker so I'm partial to the bike but both have potential. Which one would you likely have more fun with?

Congrats Naters. Love your style. Please keep us updated when it is available.

Inktover... I'm officially dropping out of this years Inktober. I was spreading myself too thin and began phoning it in. You all deserve better than that I also really need to focus on the book.

@Naters-Calderone Yeah, that made me laugh! I thought it turned out great

Great style love the line work. I got the idea once I read your comment but I don't think it's coming across in the image quite yet. Looking forward to seeing where this ends up.

Great stuff @Naters-Calderone! Hope it leads you to getting more work

@Kevin-Longueil TASER!!! lmao!

@Naters-Calderone Great work. I like the minimalism yet the powerful emotions sent to the viewer.

@Naters-Calderone I still like this one best, i would have him looking down at the baby vs out into the distance.

Love it as always! Merry Christmas und Frohe Weihnachten to all of you. To all SVSlers: Your company helped me through a tough and sad 2015. Maybe you even did'nt notice but thanks for that!!! Jana

@AWall said: I liked your first drawing but I really dig your second. It might be taken farther if you can do something to distinguish Poe from the other characters. You might try a variation in size to isolate him since they are so tightly packed. Just an idea but play around with it a bit more, I think it can get even better. I'll second that. You will either want to change the value of those characters (probably go lighter) or go with a different color for them. The other main thing: you will want to really work at getting their organization just right. As it is, it more resembles a cut-n-paste/randomly placed crowd milling behind him. You want their placement to be very deliberate and designed. Don't be afraid to use different angles (you have most of the figures vertically aligned) and the figures can (should?) bleed into each other. Related to that: you might want to vary their shapes/sizes more. This is a really great image--one of the stronger ones I've seen so far for this contest. Really excited about it. I think you nailed the Poe figure and I like the composition of him and the text.

@shinjifujioka thanks. it was a really fun challenge. I can't wait to scan, edit, and plug them into the book.

Welcome and nice to meet you!

Nicely done
