      I like 2 or 4
      haha 4 is hilarious actually
      #1 I don't find believable - the cat would be too large to fit under a mouse's bed.

        Well here's my attempt at a traditional water color illustration. Went with #4 0_1503653231061_Palacio_worst_fear_finished.jpg

          @evilrobot Hey Evil - I really like this one - the large head shot - the mouse silhouette in the mouth - very fun!

          I had a few suggestions - hope you don't mind.

          1. If you pull that arm back away from his head I think it will read a little better.

          2. I don't think you need the tail of the cat - it is a fun design element but I don't think it communicates as well as it should.

          3. This is just a storytelling option - if the story is that the mouse dies - period. Then you nailed it. If the story is up to you - you might think about giving the mouse a fighting chance. It's good for the viewer to NOT necessarily know what's going to happen - is the mouse going to survive? or is the cat going to get a meal? We don't know if you give the mouse a way out.

          Thanks!

          Great piece!

              @evilrobot This is looking great! - an unhelpful idea just popped into my head but i thought i would share it just the same - what if it was a giant mouse putting the cat into it's mouth 🙂

                @Kevin-Longueil That is a great idea I'll have do one like that. Well here is the revised version. Still a lot I need to learn about using watercolor, but I really like look I'm able to get. 0_1503799028536_Mouse-worst-fear-finished.jpg
