I like your Cyclops design – You have a real knack for sketching engaging, relatable characters. I guess that’s why your original tree idea probably wouldn’t have worked (aside from the tree p*nis issue); your dogs were so endearing and sad that it just produces that wrongity-wrong feeling to imagine them being peed on :sad:
This latest concept is a cool one. There are an abundance of stories where people get sucked into books; there are virtually none where they’re being regurgitated out.
Maybe you could bring the dragon further into the composition though? He’s just kind of on his own up in that corner; if you pulled him further to the left you’d not only be able to show him off better, but have him more involved in the scene by having his wing intersect with the silhouette of the cyclops.
Good start, man, keep pushing
