IF: Adapt - making the parade

This is my 'big' piece for the Nickelodeon art show I'm doing at the studio in July...I'm hoping to have several more whipped out before my deadline (end of June)...but we'll see...I have to finish this one first (which should be by Thursday or so)...This is still a work in progress, so maybe I shouldn't have posted this drawing...but I really like how it's coming together.

As you can see (if you look closer) I have indicator lines where the shadow will eventually go...so those lines (which I did in adobe illustrator back when this was just a simple line drawing) will eventually be deleted and shadow will take their place...

It's been quite a struggle...as I've gone way beyond my comfort level and did a piece with so much detail and way too many characters...and I have to adapt my style to encompass all of this, which is difficult, but, if nothing else, this art show was a good way to challenge myself. but I have less than a month now, and lots of illustrations floating up in my head that want to come out...

It's good to step out your boundaries from time to time. Are you doing most of your rendering in photoshop? It can take up lots of time. Your style is great, lots of character! keep up the good work!

Nice work! Despite all the characters it has a very strong composition & focal point.

Thanks for your comment on "Shellbound" & best of luck with the show!
