      Here's my layout and super rough values for my February contest entry. Hope I can finish it in time! Dang February is a few days shorter than other months. I'm planning to add more foliage/texture into the landscape but wanted your feedback on the overall composition. Thanks!

        Anything with zeppelins wins in my books.

        I like the overall composition. It's easy to pick out the foreground, mid ground and background. I assume there'll be some kind of clouds in the sky? (Or more super far away squideppelins?)

        Octeppelins.

        Octopeppelins.

        Zepelus.

        Either way, neat idea!

            @carriecopa I really like this drawing! The only feedback I have is that when i flip the composition horizontally so that the action moves from left to right that my eye moves around the composition more freely - at the moment it feels like my eye hovers on the left hand side of the composition mostly with the important elements of the house and cable and Octopus forming a vertical line that arrests the eye ....basically it looks great now but it Might flow a bit better flipped 🙂

              @kevin-longueil Thanks for the suggestion, the flipped version DOES flow better! Then the tentacles and other environment stuff direct your eyes through the illustration to the focal point.

                Fun concept! I'm no expert, but the values and composition look pretty good to me.
