Anthony,

I really like the piece above and I truly do not want to give a critique if it isn't welcome, but there is something about it that I'd like to comment on so I hope that you don't take this the wrong way. I think that you are using two different vanishing points. (if this was done on purpose PLEASE ignore my post entirely)

That little wall seems to be on a seperate line than the back wall. Again, apologies if I'm out of order on this one, but I wanted to mention it because this piece is quite excellent, but that bit just kind of caught my eye. (It's an easy fix too)

The section that I circled in green is outstanding, the shading is great and the chain looks perfect!

Nice work, and again please ignore my ramblings if they're unwelcome.

PS Congrats on completing it! Something like this would take me months to finish.

Lars, thank you for taking the time to critique.
It's more then welcome.
The two different vanishing points was done on purpose. When laying this out I wanted to do it in a style used in the old Universal horror films. They used German expressionisim. The gothic style often employed exagerated angles that often didn't come to the same vanishing point. I loved the look. I'm hoping to envoke scenes from the films i'm gonna base the drawings on. Thank you for the nice words also. I appreciate it all.

Nice final Anthony!

I like the tablet sketch Didier, can't wait to get mine.

Mikael, that page looks great. I have to admit though - that font throws me off. It is so stiff and digital compared to the nice organic lines of your drawing.

Toby: Your inking skills keep improving. That Swamp Thing looks really good.

Lars: I would love to hear your comments about my stuff, so if you have time feel free to say something.

Didier Yvon: I really like your style. And I think you capture perfectly the moment, the kid playing looks like he is actually having fun (even if we can't see his face) .

Mikael Bergkvist: How come your pencils only version looks so clean. My sketches always look kind of messy... Anyway, that's a really good page.
