      Here is my updated piece. I went with the style I am most comfortable with. I will take another pass over to clean up some edges but I feel this piece has more character then the first one I did. Thoughts or Crits? About to move onto the next two pages.

        @Chip-Valecek This looks way more interesting to me Chip - really nice - would love to see warmer light inside the house and hitting the snow outside the window - only critique though would be that the boy looks flatter than the rest of the piece - I think even minimal shading would help give some volume to the boy - really looking good!

          Its been awhile since I posted an update here on this project, but i am happy to say that I submitted my files for review. Once approved I will get a proof copy and then it will be FINISHED NOT PERFECT (as Jake Parker says). Any way here is the cover design:

              Proof came in the mail today. Pretty happy with it. Some of the pages are dark and I will need to lighten up a little. A few tweaks on the text and it should be ready to go. I will get one more proof after the changes to make sure. But we are both excited! 0_1483755478384_15894726_10210684406441804_1904207619136895912_n.jpg

                      @lmrush Yeah the blues really came out dark, so i am fixing that. I will get one more proof and hopefully that will be the winner.

                        @Kevin-Longueil He was so happy. We were out at lunch and when we got home I saw the package by the front door, i told him what is was and he ran to get it. He sat there and read it. He was super excited.
