June Prompt - Low hanging fruit

@Kevin-Longueil looking back at it I realized that the twisting tail of C isn't isolated the whole body of the alligator is corkscrewing into the air, it feels connected which makes me wish the monkey was twisting more. To make it more aligned as an image.

@chrisaakins Thanks for the updated vote Chris
I love scratchboard illustration! I am definitely going back and forth between eraser and pencil, blacking out areas and erasing back into them - i don't think i'm doing anything new or theft worthy but i would love to see what you do with the technique (i'm using the same Nikko Lockertsen pencil i've been using for a few years for the marks) I drew the the alligator as a very boring constructed volume and cut and pasted until it had a bit of life to it in the silhouette but did not draw silhouettes before hand...that would be too smart...Although i did make the silhouettes of the front legs with the selection tool before pasting them onto the body. Definitely silhouette conscious in general though - Thanks again for the feedback! -
@JudeKillory Thanks for the new feedback Jude! I agree about Bongo - he is too flat for sure - he is mostly a place holder at the moment but possibly close to the final silhouette - i will keep your feedback in mind!

@Kevin-Longueil I like the water in front of the tail in B, for all the reasons other people gave, but I really like A because there is something about that tail movement that just transmits a lot of kinetic energy.
