Art Challenge: Full Page
This is my full page. It is a scene from a comic a friend of mine in high school was writing. This character answers an ad in a paper for a roommate “super powers required.” He gets the name Goth-Man early in the comic and he hates it. He has had numerous powers over the years, and I finally decided he has a chaos field that causes random things to happen when it isn’t suppressed, he is a ritualistic spell caster meaning he can cast spells but he needs long drawn out rituals to do so, and he is extremely old and fought in the Crusades.

I love the cat. It's delightfully random and uninterested in the proceedings. The cat steals the scene and runs off meowing.

I think your figures benefit a *lot* when you do backgrounds. Your figure drawing style is kind of stiff and emphatic, and when they're left on thier own they look sort of unintentional and awkward sometimes. But they look perfectly at ease interacting with with your wacky hyper detailed backgrounds.

Thoughts about the background itself, knowing that some of this may be intentional: The door looks like you warped it fit around the character, with the effect of rather flattening your perspective. Let the foreground character overlap the line between door and house, and you'll have more sense of space and remove that visual tension point around the hand.

Also, windows generally have a visible sort of frame or framing device on the outside, even if it's just that the stones/brincks around them are cut or halfsized or something. The lack of such here is especially weird because the window has a sill. Weird. Eerie.

I think this is my favorite pic of yours since the game-card. More backgrounds!
