Better?

Eh? Still working on the type for the header. I know the background is very similar to what i did on an assistants poster last year, but i'm kinda stuck atm as what to do with the background. That was why I lost interest in drawing comics, I liked drawing figures, but everything else to me was just....ugh. no interest in it. Terrbile, I know.

More moda

This was my first idea a few weeks back..using words of thigns you can't live without.
Food, water, air...but then add in things like straws, tickets, etc...the odd objects in red (pantone 185c) and all the owrds spell out "LOVE NESTS" in stacked type.

some MODA

This is one direction I was thinking. the use of a photo composition with a nest texture over it. I really like the lines, I think it gives it an organic feel..the red texture is something I was trying just to do something different. I am trying to include more illustration in my stuff now, there is really no reason why I should not be drawing.

the dcon, again...

He still needs a sword, but this is more where I was taking it.

the dcon...so far....

still need to put in type, and refine the guy in front (he has no sword!)
this has taken me waaaay longer than I anticipated.ugh.
