        These are nice, but I feel like there may be a better moment to illustrate if this is going out as a postcard. The goal of a postcard is to immediately grip the viewer to want to know more. With the burning city in the background I feel like there is a more engaging image here that shows some skill with storytelling. This particular image is sweet and well drawn, but overall isn't going to have the attention grabbing power that you want it to.

        Maybe some alternate sketches to show?

        Also, if you are sending out a postcard, have a plan for following it up with more postcards. Nothing is worse than sending out a single card and hoping it hits. Postcard campaigns are typically best if they are done every other month or quarterly at minimum.

        Good luck with your campaign! : )

          @andyg sure, if the aim is Christian publishers I don't see the problem. I'm just trying to make sure that @Tyson-Ranes doesm't spend a ton of money aiming at the wrong target.

              Very sweet picture. Maybe not to send to publishers but you might eb able to sell them for other people to send-a Christian card company? I'm a horrible business person so.....do what everyone else says 🙂

                        Thank you @lee-white ! I'm going to go with more intrigue and some follow ups and post on the forums and verifi before I send any out. I will be mainly sending to faith based publishers at first. Here is my latest I think more in line for a postcard.0_1504485979880_IMG_1927.JPG

                            I like the rendering style you are using on these a lot. Nice work.
