      @Geoffrey-Mégardon I prefer no. 12, as the dinosaur is so big it breaks the edges of the paper - that adds to its mass, and both it and the vehicle have dynamic poses. 😃 Pretty cool!

        @Geoffrey-Mégardon Ah, you already decided!
        Funny enough, this way you just tell another story than I expected, as to me the vehicle seems to be "more important" and the greater focal point, as it is so much more dynamic. I think that's very nice decided, as you emphasize that the car is more flexible and the dinosaur seems to be more portly. 😃

          @MimiHecher I do like both, so I might try to do 12 at some point.

                New update. I inked the dino and the van, and I added the shadow layer.

                I will probably revise the shadow of the T-rex as it does not exactly match the one of the van. Other than that, I intend to be done with the coloring tomorrow.

                  Update of the day.
                  van-vs-dino3.jpg

                  Still need to polish up the reflection layer (e.g. glass and metal) and add a glow/halo layer, and maybe a bounce light layer.

                  I am not sure the glass looks like glass enough. And I'm not sure the windscreen is working well at the moment.

                  But yeah, almost done I think 🙂

                    So my portfolio is kind of ready and I am thinking of reaching out for a rep. But, now I have a doubt. Should I include a book dummy in my portfolio?

                    I’ve made a thumbnail book dummy for the SVS CBP course. So I could clean it up to get more readable sketches.

                      @Geoffrey-Mégardon I don’t think it’s necessary to include a dummy

                        I wouldn’t include a dummy. Just the strongest finished work that’s cohesive together.
