My friend Sarah commissioned me to do a group shot of the main cast of her novel-in-progress, Dangerous People. She's currently pulling a Walden's Pond off in a cabin for a couple of weeks, but she's been so pleased with all the status scans I've sent her that I don't think she'd mind me posting this before she gets back. I'm really happy with it myself!
I bluepenciled the crap out of this in my sketchbook and inked it digitally. I've been DYING to do that suit-silhouette for a while, and I'm very pleased with the result. I love Cay's separatist posture, Lina's watchful eyes and SADIE'S HAIR, which turned out spectacularly. I have absolutely no problems with those three.
James was a bit of a bitch. He has kind of a high, combed-back hairline anyway, but it was hard not to make his forehead look huge. And his hand might be a smidge small. But my happiness with the other three far outweighs my minor quibbles with James. And Sarah loved it to little pieces, so I have no complaints!
Damn that's good. I think you did a fine job with James. The hand does look just a smidge small, but it's easily ignorable and only noticeable if you're looking for problems. All in all, I am ever more jealous of your mad skillz! Nice work!

I love how Sadie stands out, how there's these three very tough looking suited people, then a little girl in a dress. The splash of colour on her dress also helps a lot in making her stand out. It's also really neat that although they're silhouettes, but they aren't just blobs. They still have definable bodies. I love the details on Sadie's shoes.
And I can't find ANYTHING to crit on this. (other than the hand, but if you hadn't have mentioned it I wouldn't have noticed it anyways)
Aside, I love it when there's a high graphic feel to otherwise very detailed characters. You managed to show a detailed form in your silhouettes and facial emotions while still maintaining a very simple... set of suits.
^__^ Thank you for saying so. I'm silly for days after some experimental turns out well! I don't want to beat this style into the ground, but I can definitely see returning to it again in the future.

Do you like greasers? Retro 50s? Rats with ridiculously large hair? If so, click here!
That made me laugh for like, five minutes. But this is really good. I like the contrast between the dress and all the black suits.
