      @bharris This looks great! One thing that pops out though is the numbers above the chalk board do not follow the perspective established in the rest of the piece - i think the high contrast of the white background behind the numbers makes it stand out a little more than it would otherwise too - looking forward to seeing the finished piece - great concept!

        Thanks Kevin! I'm testing out the posters and the colors. I don't want them to stand out too much of course!

          I can't wait to be done... lol. Still working on the light and border. I'm debating putting a back pack below the climbing girl, but I didn't know it it would get too cluttered.

            It looks absolutely fantastic @bharris ..you should be proud 🙂 Love it! I don't think it needs anything else going on, there's plenty already! And the lighting looks great.

                @bharris Wow - this looks absolutely terrific! I think the time you spent on going through the color studies and implementing input on the laser eye lights etc was all time very well spent. I agree with @Dulcie that I don't think you need to add the back pack. I like how Haven is clearly isolated which makes her stand out. If you begin to add to much overlapping behind her she might get lost. I say you have already hit a home run here!

                  @Rich-Green Thank you so much Rich, I really appreciate your comments! You're both right, it would be too much behind her. 🙂

                            Definitely unique idea! I love the characters. I know that my son, when he was young, would probably have loved to become a toxic waste super hero 🙂

                                  @Chip-Valecek Thank you! It finally came together.

                                  @Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen lol thanks! I came up with it in that state of almost sleep... Wasn't sure it was actually a good idea at the time though.

                                  @Carrie and @Charlie-Eve-Ryan Thank you!

                                    This turned out so amazing! Great work @bharris. Their is so much story going on with each person that I keep circling around and around finding new gems. So good.

                                      Such a great concept!
                                      There's so much interesting stuff going on in the image, but without making it look too cluttered. I really feel compelled to stay and look at all the stuff happening in there!

                                          I really enjoyed Will's critique for 3rd Thursday, an his changes would make a large improvement!

                                          I'm curious though if this piece works as a vignette for my portfolio if I just change the girl's pink shirt? Or do you think I should make all the changes and improve the focal point? From my understanding he was pointing me more toward a spot which was the assignment, but I think it can work outside that.

                                          Let me know your thoughts! 😃

                                            @bharris I think it could work! ... but then again I had the exact same critique you had, so maybe I am not the best judge! 😉

                                            Jokes aside, I think your piece is really strong and while I am not sure I fully understand the concept of a vignette yet, I think it could work. And I was under the impression @will-terry thought that too.

                                            This habit of wanting to include to much stuff in our illustrations is really hard to get rid of!
