Illustration layout for Pulp



Link Studies

Love your loose lines on the first page. The pulp piece is gonna turn out great too, however I feel the woman isn't connecting with the viewer, she's screaming away from the action. Also with your silhouettes try to be more abstract, they all look more or less the same.

Thanks Rich4rt

Cool stuff James, liking the life digital paintings of the models! I agree with AJCC that the headdress draws a lot of attention in the design. Making it smaller and adding something of the familiar onto it might help sell the idea better (turning it more into a tiara? Or adding jewelry? etc).

Can't wait to see the submission! 8D

My internet is down at my home, can't post as much as I want now for a while. Using Starbuck's server to upload some work.

The little character thumbs are awesome, you're really good at that!

Zelda piece is really cool... so far! I think you could push the background elements more. They are loose which is OK, but it still looks unfinished.

The mood in the pulp piece is sweet, nice colours too! Again same crit, it's looking unfinished, worth refining the areas of focus more :)

Keep it up man, good stuff.
