      @Zachary-Drenski Thank you Zachary for your helpful suggestions ❤ I have to agree with you about the mummy's foot, it looks disembodied.. I'll probably remove it entirely! The eyes suggestion is also great and as for the running, I'll see if I can improve it but like you, I don't wish to have the running poses mirror each other and really want them to be different for more variety and dynamism.

        What a fun illustration! @NessIllustration I'd love to see the running characters be a bit larger and closer to the audience, maybe have the cat the closest. It will create a stronger dominance structure, as well as bring some stronger layering and perspective. If you make them larger and shift them just slightly so that they overlap the stairs a bit, you're also going to lead the eye from the mummy to them and back again, and the composition won't be divided by that strong line illustrating the corner of the room. I did a quick re-size to show you what I mean. Nice work!

            @NessIllustration Yay! So glad, anytime. I'm kind of a composition junky. 😉
            Looking forward to seeing how this goes!

              Not sure if anyone else mentioned this yet, but the perspective on big columns the is off. They should be pointing straight up and down. Of course, it could be an artistic choice to skew the perspective, but in this case I feel its more distracting than anything. I did a quick draw over to show you what i mean perspective draw over.png

              and I added a third column because the wall behind the mummy was feelin kinda empty.

                @Perrij That's very accurate critique, but in this case I've decided to add a 3rd vanishing point and tilt the scene as well to create more dynamism in the composition 🙂

                  @NessIllustration for sure! well in that case, i think maybe tilting the vertical lines of bricks towards the 3rd vanishing point will help sell it

                    @Perrij They are, hun. Look at them with a ruler, the brick lines on the right of the screen tilt towards the left, the brick lines on the left tilt towards the right. They all "seem" vertical because they're following the established perspective 🙂

                        @Perrij Not offended at all, and thank you so much for taking the time to even do a draw-over, that's really cool! Seeing the scene in another perspective is super interesting!
