Progress 3 ...

I spent some time last night working on this again. I need to mull over the three options below before I move forward. Not sure how I feel yet ...

Progress 2 ...

I had some time last night to revisit this piece. Decided to muscle through the problems I was having instead of scrapping all the color/value and trying a different approach. This piece is so far under my expectations right now and I'm frustrated but I have a hope for it. I think through some hard work and feedback from others I'll be able to get it closer to what I'd hoped for. I dig unified color palettes but right now absolutely nothing in the scene has a local color so that's gotta change. I don't know. What do you think? Seriously, tell me what you think.

Progress ...

Some progress on the illustration. I don't think it's quite working ... might need to rethink what I just did on it.
