Postcard for Publishers

Hey @Lee-White
Very insightful stuff here. I'd be interested (as I'm sure would others) for you to put together a SVS course about marketing and actually getting work and keeping it coming in.
Take care,

Thanks @Lee-White you're responses to and critiques of peoples posts on here are always super helpful.

I second a marketing class @Lee-White

Funny you guys should mention that. I have a storytelling video coming out in two weeks, then after that I'm beginning a business video! : )
-
@Lee-White awesome! I'm curious about how you chose which clients to send your targeted handmade books to. Were they each to a specific publisher, or to an art director, or what? Were they people you had met or just people whose work you liked?

I can't wait!

@Lee-White Wow thanks so much for all the tips! I wished I would've checked back on this because I already went and worked out the basic lighting and started blocking in color! lol! No problem though, I'm so glad you pointed out the size issue, I have never thought about it before, but I will definitely go back and make all the adjustments.
Thanks also for the tips on postcards. I know it can take a while to hear back and you must send them regularly. I'm going to try and send them out every 3 months, since it can get a bit expensive.
I'm so pumped to have gotten my piece critiqued by you! I've been needing a good, honest, and helpful critique. I might not be able to send this out for Halloween in time, but at the very least it will make a good portfolio piece.

Witches are my weakness, so I love everything about this postcard! I do agree about your main character's pose though... Changing it up would help her look more lively. Then, to contrast, I actually love the fact that the cat is just so still, with his eyes all big, like he's just in shock. To me it's amusing. He's kind of got a Jiji vibe going on.
Can't wait for the finished piece!

Here is the 3 lighting situations I came up with before I began adding color. I ended up using the middle one.
-
Here is the final!
I changed the items Lee pointed out. They really made a huge difference!
-
Very Nice!
-
Really beautiful @Sharon-Sordo! Thanks for sharing your process with us as well - was fun to watch!
-
Hey that looks amazing! I love the eerie greeny-white lighting, that is just perfect and beautifully rendered
-
This month has been a good month for people uploading awesome work! The lighting here is gorgeous!

I keep on coming back to this image like a moth to a flame, lol. I really like how you depicted the light emanating from the globe. And her expression adds so much life to her character
