oops, anyone know how to make it recognize the space in the post? you have to put a space after the image file.
damn geocities :)

[lw_dragon]

ok, fixed the problem, posted it at deivant instead. Damn I hate geocities and their no image posting. :(

Looks pretty nice, i think it would look cool with thick marker type outlines and animeish coloring to it!

Looking good so far - if its a CD cover then you're probably going to have to leave a bit of dead space for any words - presumably the top right hand corner where there's nothing going on is where the wording is going to go. Looks cute! Nice concept sketch anyway.

Hi lw_dragon

Its going well so far - but I'm not entirely sure about the added composition of a road and trees. To my mind, it was going to be a shot of the back of houses and the Santa-Cat was going to be walking along a snowy field out the back. The trees work well, but I think a proper Christmassy feel will be better with more nature rather than man-made constructions like roads. This is only my humble opinion. You can either take it or say "Bah, I don't want to listen to him"

Choice of colours is going to be very important. If I may be so bold as to point you to a website with the kind of colours and style I like, then you can see if this will benefit you at all.

Santa-cat looks good though! Its a picture with a nice feel to it.

I'm only trying to make suggestions on trying to make it more Christmassy, but at the same time, I don't want to be cramping your own style. Best of luck with it.

I truely appreciate your comments fallen swordsman. Here is another wip www.deviantart.com/deviation/131361

I see what you are saying, I started to make the road and it kinda set in the back of my mind what you said. I think I will end up covering most of the road, but please tell me more about my current work and if there's anything that could help it. I also added a light and a fw highlights, still not quite done yet. Haven't had the full amount of time to work on it.

I will get it done by tonight though.

Thanks guys for the comments. :beer: :bounce: :bounce: :thumbsup:
