      @Nyrryl-Cadiz According to Penny 'any and all bodies, human or otherwise, become property of the owner of the domicile in which said body currently resides at time of death'.

      Billy DID come over to play, recently...

            @Coley I'm glad it's not too subtle, lol 🙂

            @Nyrryl-Cadiz It's all okay because Penny's got her pupper back 🙂

            And Billy was a total jerk!

              Reinked Penny and the Pupper.

              Added the BG trees. Gave some value to the fence.

              Gonna fiddle with some clouds in the sky mebbe.

                @Braden-Hallett Great piece. You really nailed it again. Wow. Very interesting take on the topic. It took the third read to discover Billy's head by the grave. I first thought it was just dirt, or grass or something. Was it intensional?

                  @xin-li Thanks! And no, third read is definitely not intentional (maybe second read?) My plan is to reinforce the contours a little bit on the grave and shovel then maybe give Billy a baseball cap 🙂

                    @Braden-Hallett Maybe making Billy a red head in an earthy graveyard would help him pop.

                      @jakecrowe Sadly the entry must be black and white 🙂

                      If haveing a hat doesn't work, I may just remove the head all together and just have the shovel and the machete do the talking.

                        @Braden-Hallett Keep the head. I got it on the first horrified read. I am scared of Penny now. Very scared.

                            Work progresses! I may try some other options for the clouds and grey stormy sky 🙂

                              @Braden-Hallett Love this 😃 Love the emotion in the piece. Your inking is way out there!

                              I prefer the blank sky tho (in the inking phase). But that's just me 🙂

                              Looking forward to the result.

                                @Jonas-Zavacky @Braden-Hallett I agree with Jonas. It is a bit distracting and I don't think it adds to the story.

                                  Iiiiiiinteresting! I definitely need to play with that sky then. I don't think leaving it completely blank is the answer, but at the same time distracting is no good!

                                  Maybe more leaves, or just a cloud or two.

                                  Thank you both for the feedback 🙂 !

                                    @Braden-Hallett I think if you hatched the whole sky it would work. The negative space clouds compete with your abomination's head.

                                          I agree with @chrisaakins that the sky would look better if you just hatched the whole thing. I like it better than the blank sky because it really helps the dog head stand out but hatching the whole thing would make it compete with the rest of the picture less. Great piece!

                                            I will try that. There is much time to fiddle 😃
