Very cool colouring as always, but especially due to the use of a mouse, and very cool name as well BTW.

The closeups seem to lessen the impact of the full piece a little, if that's any help.

I checked out the detail closeups of your image, and there were a couple that didn't load for me, but over all I think that they are somewhat beneficial, to allow the viewer to really look at each character individually, however, being the actual details on the images are not lost in the original image, I don't think they are entirely neccessary. Nice work.

I agree about the coloring. It's excellent. The shading, however, is fantastic. I actually only looked at the first detail, and the effect of the light source on the girl is impeccable.

dude I don't get you... how do you do that with a mouse?
you must have carpal tunnel up the wazoo!
dear warlockss, please put up a tutorial describing at least a portion of your method. the fact that you do this with a mouse perplexes my soul.

I like the color job, but one question I would have is in the art itself: is the woman in the bg supposed to be holding a letter-opener or something?:rofl:
