Awesome!!! Great sense of height and danger! (I wouldn't want to mess with EITHER of them.)

Glad you like it :) I'll be submitting it to Torn World if I get enough comments to do a cleaned-up version, and we're already halfway there!

I posted links (to the LJ and DW pages) for this sketch on Torn World's "Works in Progress" forum, in hopes of getting more comments so it can be refined and submitted.

Thank you! Looks like it worked :)

Yes, I think there are two new commenters. Yay!

The story is already approved, so if you get the sketch updated and submitted, there may be time to post both together this month as part of the sea monster fest. That should get you some extra eyeballs too.

That would be good...I'll try to get it in this weekend :)

I love the dimensions, the depth you get of how high the monster is. It is truly frightening! I especially like the teeth!

Ooooh, looking good! The harpoon in flight and the damaged eye, especially.

Question ysabetwordsmith July 23 2011, 22:26:30 UTC

I'm uploading your sketches into a scrapbook on my LiveJournal, so that I'll have them all in one place for people to browse conveniently. I've got the before-and-after and detail images of "Unfolding Wings." But I realized that I forgot to save the early version of "Without Fail" -- and now I can only find the thumbnail, not the full-size of the original sketch. It would be nice to have the larger version of the sketch available from the thumbnail, because I like being able to flip back and forth to compare what changed. It's one of the cool things about your project.

Re: Question meeksp July 26 2011, 17:07:20 UTC

Whups, missed this one...You've probably figured this out, by now, but if you right-click on the thumbnail to save it, you'll actually get the full-sized sketch - only the display dimensions have been changed.

Oh, yay! Thanks for letting me know.
