Final:
I decided to finish some stuff up and call it a day with this image. I dont want to work further with it, as i have more ideas for inviroments i want to try out, and not obsess about just 1 :D

So here is the "final" version... Crits still welcome:

These are good DVDs aren't they? I have a few left to go through and then take my turn at it.

My initial impression and thoughts:

1. You definitely want to work from perspective lines--right now it is more stylized--almost cubist with a combination of perspectives.

2. There is too even a pattern of light and dark patches, so it's hard for my eye to focus on any one area. Ryan seems to emphasize the idea of creating a vignette to keep your eye toward the center of the image.

3. Some of the people shapes vary a bit and look a bit less people-like. The trick is to get them to look like people with a minimal of stroke.

Nice start. Show us the future ones.

I will try to work on one this week hopefully.
