      I really love the color palette you chose for the buildings and sky. your line work on the buildings is very free, I love it. I did not catch that those were bananas at first...I saw ghosts. Maybe a little more yellow and some of that same line work you used for the background shapes but possibly even bolder strokes since the bananas are in the foreground. The apes expression looks mildy scared/suprised by the bananas...like he's not sure why they are running away. Makes me curious of what the story is.

        Hi there, I love this it's great and funny too. I agree with a comment made below about details or shading on the background buildings and something to show the bananas or on the ground, or maybe they're not? Also maybe the left arm should be a bit thicker at the top? I'm not sure about that but maybe worth a try? Love your colour palette btw.

            This is just an awesome piece. I don’t think there’s much to critique here. Great job!

              @KaraDaniel Thank you for your perspective! The bananas do need a facelift. The ape's expression was intended to be somewhat harmless while his size is driving the bananas bananas!

              I will post an update soon. Thanks again!

                @Elena-Marengoni I actually did play with the idea of more bananas in the scene as well as some dimension in the street but I couldn't make it read well. It threw off the whole dang composition 🤯 I think I'll give it another go though 🙂 Thank you for your thoughts and kind words!

                    @Rachel-Horne You know I've had the same thought. That arm has been in periphery and I don't think I ever tried beefing that up. Thank you for your advice and kind words :smiling_face_with_open_mouth:

                        @SFischer It is so funny can not see anything wrong ,just maybe put some cartoony eyes on the bananas.

                          @SFischer Well then I think you nailed his expression nicely. Looking forward to seeing the final piece 🙂

                            Great image! Love the perspective!

                            Would love to see the more bananas version, and some cast shadows to ground them (along with the other aforementioned adjustments to them)

                            Also, maybe differentiate some of the texturing. I kind of feel like the noise that is permeating the image is overwhelming as it is affecting every surface.
