      @Chip-Valecek great monster! I like option one best! To me it feels more like the characters are living inside the scene... whereas in option two they kinda pop off the page more with the white border.

          My vote is with option 1! Also, maybe a bit late to mention this, but I was thinking that a "no fishing" sign might be placed a little further up the dock where people could see. Or maybe the boy is fishing because someone placed the "no fishing" sign on that end post?

              Yep, no white lines needed for this one. I love how it turned out. The coloring of the tail totally give the huge clue about the mermaid! I just had to be patient. And his expression is perfect. I think you hit the nail on the head with all your words or story points with this! The no fishing sign is too much of a focal point l. I agree with the rest of the crew. Great job!

                @Chip-Valecek Definitely option 1! When I first
                saw your linework I was actually going to suggest trying this one without the white line.

                      @Chip-Valecek I realize this might be late, but I just had to drop in and say the story you're telling in this illustration really caught my eye! It's humorous and the narrative is really clear.

                      Just wanted to add also that it's a refreshing spin on Mermay, and the monster design is great! Quite terrifying while also being funny.

                      And for what it's worth, my vote would also have been for Option 1. It looks good. :face_savouring_delicious_food:

                          Colors are really nice, if its easy to change the scales are going the wrong way at the last 3 sections.
