      Hi Nyrryl,
      All 3 options look great, each one works really well! I'm initially drawn to the cake one only because i like seeing a bit of an environment that could potentially have lots of things to look at in the kitchen, I also love all the different characters - that chef is great! Plus I think your use of colour would look wonderful for this one.
      However you Thumbelina one is probably the strongest in terms of story, character design, composition and perspective 😃 I would maybe show the end of the cats tail so that your eyes follow the cat round to the small thumbelina character!

      Look forward to seeing it develop!

        [link text](link url)@hannahmccaffery thanks! I am planning to finish each illustration when I have the time. Note taken on the Cat’s tail.

          I like the cat. I'm also doing a cat though, so maybe biased. LOL

            @nyrrylcadiz Love all your ideas. My vote is for the cat and Thumbelina.

              For the wolf idea, I think it would work better from a change of angle, in where we see Red Riding Hood walking toward the viewer, and the wolf is a looming figure.
              My vote goes to the Thumbelina one. There's always a sense of fear I have of pets somehow growing larger than life, especially cats. Plus, I love the cat's face.

                I get the most sense of 'big' from the massive cat (this is my nightmare). The big bad wolf comes in second.

                The cat gives us a nice sense of scale (and the opportunity to make that cat truly eeeeeeeeeevil is something I wouldn't pass up 🙂 )

                    I just did some color comps. When i did the third one, I was really in love with the colors that I think I added too much detail on the comp. What do you think guys? Any suggestions? I’m still open to other color palettes. I think i have too much yellow pieces in my portfolio already. I want to try something new😊

                                    The purple one's colors seem both more "dangerous" and more "fantastical". Regarding too much yellow in your portfolio, maybe you can pull the yellows into a blue-ish color? Does it have to be during the day? Can it be at night?

                                      The first one looks really good too if you want a yellow break. I think the last one is more polished so it just shines.

                                          Hi everyone! I’ve been tinkering around with my color comps, adjusting their hues, saturation, brightness and what not and I think I’ve made my decision. Of the four color comps I have below, i really really like the green one at the bottom. For me it really just gives the atmosphere a chilling, scary, and unnerving feeling. It gives me a horror movie feel which is kinda what I wanted for this piece. What do you guys think?

                                            @rinovarka haha 😅 I know the feeling! I’m not a cat person. I always have this slight fear of cats given what they’re capable of. They hunt rodents, birds, fish, etc. They’re natural born hunters! Just imagine if they’re 20 feet tall! Lol 😂
