        Yay, thanks for weighing in, everyone! I am also voting for B, maybe adding in some elements from C. Thanks for the validation! Onward! ๐Ÿ™‚

          I'm narrowing down a composition! Here's another page of roughs. I think that A is the clearest one, but if can use value to control the focus in D, I think it would be great to show as much as I can about who the yeti is and what her world is like. What do you vote?

          (side note: this past week or two is the first time I've used a forum like this to share advice on a WIP. I am LOVING all the constructive feedback and advice from this group. Thank you all for being so welcoming ๐Ÿ™‚ ).

            @Valerie-Light I think they would all work well - I do like B the most for some reason...maybe the cleaner silhouette? - if you are going to have the puppy i think i like the position in A and B best

              @Valerie-Light I really like both C and D. I gravitate towards D because the puppy is so happy. I also really like the pots and herbs hanging in the background

                @Valerie-Light my vote is on A. I love how simple and bare the background is. The Yetiโ€™s silhouette is very clear and just pops right off the page.

                  I vote A. It feels more like a typical spot illustration and keeps the focus on the characters.

                        I like D the most because of the different values in the picture. However I like how the chimney of the stove makes a natural border in image C. Maybe a mix of C and D would be an option? A stove-border like in C would probably mean that composition wise youโ€™d have to ditch the stool with veg om the lower left though. The moving of the dog towards the right lower corner works quite well and makes more of a connection with the yeti this way.

                          Iโ€™m sticking with A because I think itโ€™s the most โ€˜spot illustration-yโ€™ :).

                                All right, so many of you are encouraging me to do A, and I know that you're right about it being clear and readable and a traditional spot illustration, but something like C looks like so much more fun to me (and maybe a better addition to my portfolio). I decided to try some color roughs on a couple of different composition options.
                                If you all aren't sick of helping me design this by election, here are 4 variations of how to resolve the environment.

                                  A and d are my faves I feel like with the colored background itโ€™s just a little chaotic, great work though!

                                    I agree with @Asyas_illos , A and D.

                                      @Valerie-Light I still like A. I like the silhouette, without the background it is easy to read. And, is most definitely a spot illustration.

                                        @Asyas_illos I agree with @Valerie-Light that A is the one most like a spot illustration. I think it may be a winner, too. I called the last two so you better listen to me. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                            @Valerie-Light D is great! It gives it depth and detail but still feels light and open. It also looks a lot like a spot illustration to me.
