      @Jeremiahbrown looks really fun. Love the sniffing little yeti. I think your wife is right. The first one looks more like a vignette. The second one is definitely a spot illustration.

        This is absolutely superb!! I LOVE the facial expressions... As for spot vs. not spot: Technically I think your wife is correct (although, being a married man myself, you should never let her know that 😉 ), but then again, rules are there to be broken. I'm digging the version with the blue background just a wee bit more (for what it's worth). I say, go for it and blue it up!

        I hope the publisher likes stick figures!!

          Hahaha, I love the "bit of cute"! I agree with @Casual-T, there's something really nice about the blue background. Maybe if you fade it out with a gradient or something on the top right, so it's not such a strong division between the background space. I think the key is having the image break open into the surrounding page. Really awesome piece!!!

            The second is definitely a spot. Your illustration is great with or without the blue.

                  Is this a happy medium or should I just stick with one or the other? Thank you for all of the feedback!

                    So I really think that deeper blue you have in the first image compliments the characters and allows them to pop more. They all look great, but in my opinion, I think if you can find some way to preserve the blue more, especially around the figures, it will help elevate your already awesome design. I did a quick mock up of your first one to try and show what I'm talking about (I hope that's okay?).fadedbackgroundexample.jpg

                        Is no one going to mention that he is cooking Pepe Le Pew?

                          One more version and I'll stop, haha. Is this a happier happy medium? I used took some of @Tiffany-Thomas' version. I may be splitting hairs at this point. Thank you all!

                              They actually included samples in their instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/CLSl7pMjgZa/?igshid=fjraxyuc30zp

                              I think your blue sky matches the 2nd photo in the link above 🙂

                                  @chrisaakins hahaha, I would have said something like "poor Pepe" but he seems to be totally okay with it, lol.

                                    @Jeremiahbrown Yes! I like this one, it seems like the best compromise! I really love the cloud effect as a transition - also sort of give the feeling that they are up high on a mountain top. Such awesome and relatable characters!!!
