        I agree with @smceccarelli ...I like your previous thumbs and overall agree with previous comments.. I really like the idea of using a ship/voyage to convey opportunity. To me this last thumb is the strongest, it really expresses the quote well and it's got lovely linework already 🙂

                    @Kevin-Longueil Thank you! One day I will write that book - but it will be a young adults book, and I do not trust my writing skills so far at the moment - better stick with drawing 😉

                          @Lynn-Larson @Dan-Tavis Thank you both! Great to get such encouragement!
                          Just started on the figures and the boat - still very sketchy - shrunk the boat down quite a bit which seems to give it a lonelier feeling - not sure if i like it better or not with the smaller boat - might go back to original size..... any opinions? Thanks again 🙂0_1463382911662_Attachment-1-47.jpeg

                              This is really turning into a masterpiece those trees look fantastic. You have so much story telling going on here it's really good.

                                @Damien-Rambacher Thank you Damien! - i went with the smaller boat - it really helped to get a second opinion so thanks again.
                                @evilrobot Than you so much William! - such a huge compliment from someone i respect - really made my day 🙂

                                Seems like i need another week or so for this - i feel like the things i did early in the piece are very rough now that i have worked on the two main figures - i think it will be a late night tonight - thank you everyone for your help and encouragement!0_1463536571818_Beard?.jpeg

                                      @Kevin-Longueil Wow!!! This is phenomenal. I am always amazed by your drawing skills Kevin. I really think that if you start illustrating YA novels especially, you'll start winning awards. Beautiful work.

                                        A-maz-ing!! I really like the openness of the interpretation, could be landing in a new place with the boat going out, or could be going to the shore for the incoming ship...either way, new adventure awaits! Wonderful job Kevin! good luck!

                                          I'm calling it now: this will be one of the tippy-top ones.
