I'm back from the dead, more or less...spring semester has started (I had a pretty unsatisfying Wintersession and nothing to show for it, so hooray). And here's my first real finished (?) piece! For Cover to Cover, a concept for a biography of Ben Franklin...critique particularly welcome, as I have time to adjust it before class. Color is twigging me out. I dunno. Anyway! Yes! Alive! Hi!

Edit: critiques taken into account. I'm not sure this color is perfect, but I like it way better. Thanks, guys! : )

Oh dear lord, I love this. Didn't see the original color scheme, but I love this one - and the posing, particularly of the sprawled-out woman at the bottom.

Excellent choice of title, too!

hahahaha nice edits since class

i'd change the dark blue to something less strong, it's very powerful right now.

You're back! And this is exactly the sort of olde tymie hilarity I've come to expect from you, young lady.

If your really want critique, I'd take another swipe at the color. I'd unify each dress a little bit more, since right now all the design elements of each dress seem to separate and get tangled.

I feel like Ben should pop, so I'd dress him in warmer colors and cool down the ladies. Then Ben and the red wine would come forward (especially if the background is cool, too) and it would be all Founding Forefather, Wine, and also a pile of ladies.

You could also make his eyebrows more lecherous, but that's up to you. I love those ladies!
