Bravemule did it right and then some. So many facets to see and explore.

I'm impressed. Keep up the good (art)work and I hope the finished result is as good as the parts.

Good for Bravemule. However, this is a project for a class, meaning there's a deadline, a grade, and a "failure and subsequent expulsion if you plagiarize" clause involved. So saying that Bravemule "did it right" is really unhelpful in pretty much anything you were attempting to imply in saying so.

(not that I'm disagreeing with you or anything--I actually haven't looked at it beyond a cursory glance)

I think he was suggesting it for inspiration, which thankfully does not qualify as plagiarism.

Had the class again today. Of the concept sketches shown, Halceon's idea was what got the most positive feedback, so that's what I'll be going with. -snip-

Yaaaay!

I'm really loving all the little scenes you're making. And the cats, oh god, the cats.

Which still isn't helpful, seeing as how I've already sketched and scanned everything and don't exactly have the time to start over at this point.

In the end, though, I should just be grateful for as much feedback as I've gotten. Which I am. Thanks, everybody.

Sorry for the double post, but this kind of merits a new post, methinks.

So get this--because of the level of detail and complexity of the image, the project is not going to be the illustration of an editorial, but a full 24"x32" poster. Suffice to say, this is going to be fun.

If you're still interested in more scenes to add, be sure to include a fully armored mother caring a child into battle. And a legless dwarf crutchwalking a wheelbarrow up some stairs, because its amazing what dwarves can do with crutches. ... And a werebeaver or similar random creature.... And a cow munching on staring eyeballs... And ... And ...

So many possibilities.

This happens so often I'm completely unsurprised by it now.

This. It's just epic, and also easy to do.

Also, good luck! What you are doing is amazing! Will you post here the finished version?

And I actually considered selling copies, but until I can find a cheaper way to print them--the one for class is going to cost me about $40, and after the 29th it would cost double that--it's just not going to be practical. And even if you were still willing to pay for that, my question in turn would be, "Why aren't you giving that money to Toady?"

If you're still interested in more scenes to add...
At this point, I'm not. Sorry. :x Sketching and scanning these alone took somewhere around ten or twelve hours, and if I'm lucky cleaning, coloring, and shading won't take more than an entire day. Also keep in mind that I need time to sleep and work on a nine-page comic for another class, and that the whole thing is due Wednesday. Adding more scenes just isn't practical at this point.

Also, good luck! What you are doing is amazing! Will you post here the finished version?
Thank'ee sir. I will indeed be posting the finished version here (though smaller so that it's not a ridiculously huge download) along with the individual segments on their own so you can see the full details.

I will be looking foward to see it. I think that I could even put a part of it in my desktop. Anyway, I will stop diverting your attention from your project, i'm sure that such a work will deserve good marks.
