I consider it finished, but if there is something mentioned that really bothers me, I will certainly fix it.
*sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum, I will take down if it is*

excellent work - great cover!:thumbsup:
my only critique would be the way he is holding that torn piece of cloth and '4' symbol - just seems like its about to fall out of his hand
and also, sorry, but i am not familiar with this comic - what is the story about? i was under the impression that he was the villian, but it seems he is mourning the loss of the fantastic four?
great job man

I finally get it, after looking at it for a couple of minutes. Reed Richards is being stretched on the newspaper rollers, right? And you can see the flesh on his chest where the "4" used to be. Good picture mostly. I guess I'm mostly confused why that huge machine would be outside. The lighting is clearly outdoor light to my eyes.
I think the colors have come out pretty well, but there might be a little too much emphasis on the background.
And the hand has been mentioned, by Chris, holding the 4 patch. Turn those finger tips inward and make him look like he is gripping it.
He is also right about the pose. It does look like he is mourning the loss of the FF, instead of finally relishing it. Throwing up both arms is usually a sign of hopelessness, when the hands are open. Now if the fists were clenched, maybe it would be easier to read as a victory.
Overall, it is still probably good enough to submit as is. How about the other two? Good luck, man.

ahh yes, now i see, i had forgotten that one of them can stretch!
about the mourning pose - maybe instead of changing his pose completely you can somehow change the expression on his metal face?
nevertheless great work , definitely would love to see the other two as well
p.s. - where in NJ are ya? im there all the time

art7sayan - thanks
Chris Antonelle - I fixed that issue with the grip, hopefully????
Titan - thanks, I sent them ome painting work, and they wrote back saying they were impressed, and asked that I send them some stuff with their characters so the editors could review.. hopefully, this will impress them as well.
Chris Antonelle - didn't deal with the pose yet, does the new grip help?
and I'm in Franklin park, between North Brunswick and Princeton, where are you from?
Rubberduckie - fixed that, thanks for your comment.
