      @miranda-hoover yes. Thanks 😊
      I kind of meant to have the lone mouse initially. Looking off in the distance. Then I thought they were lonely and added the second empty chair. Now I’m wondering if it makes sense that the mouse would be looking upwards at the sky waiting for a mouse friend to fly in lol. Might be back to the drawing board or creative idea board ha ha. πŸ€ͺ

        @Coley I think it's a really cool idea because it makes you wonder whom the mouse might be waiting for at a cliff. Maybe to push the idea, you could leave a little hint of what that creature might be. Since it was a cliff, I thought it might be a bird (or maybe a giant cat, lol). If it's another mouse, you might leave a hint as to how they would fly in (or maybe zipline in πŸ€”).
        Anyway, I think it's a cool idea that you should stick with it!

          @miranda-hoover thanks for the input. I'm thinking about a parachute. Or maybe put the mouse inside a jar (sad tho lol) or on a flower looking up at other flowers from below. Brainstorm has to happen Ha ha.

            Hi @Coley, may just be me - but your character looks like a koala; perhaps it’s the nose? I like the idea of another mouse parachuting in for dinner with the light guiding the way.

              @Jeremy-Ross thanks. I’ll keep that in mind for final sketch. 😊

                cute illustration! I read similar as @miranda-hoover , a mouse waiting for guest for dinner. Why are the table/chairs much smaller than the mouse though ? perhaps a mini-guest ?

                  Some further thumbs if anyone had any thoughts πŸ™‚. Mouse on a cliff went to on a swing, to a ladder on the moon, to a canoe, to a moon boat lol. I’m needing some space to figure out what works best but if people had any thoughts, I’d love to hear them.
                  I think mouse looks more isolated in the swing ones and the canoe (a,b,c) without any reeds, but I might be liking the moon boat 9i and j) More because it’s A little more magical. Thank you for any input.

                    @Coley I think my favorite is e. The idea that the moon is illuminated because an isolated person is searching for someone is a a good concept. Perhaps the ladder can lean into the moon more, at an angle that balances with the angle of the star's string.

                      @Coley I love the ideas you have here. A lot of these could work well as a final illustration! I think my personal favorite of these thumbnails is the moon boat. It's very whimsical and sweet. πŸ™‚
