had some ideas I was trying out, didnt really like them too much, didnt really fit into the brief. So after some finally doodling around came up with this sketch, my idea will be worked more into it soon. I may change the composition a bit as well

Im not sure to do this traditional on on PS, maybe a bit of both

mino-jen thanks for looking and the nice words

Ok so here is my story for those interested.

I think "Newborn" can be a very difficult to interpret and to make an original and creative solution. So after my first thought of a Monkey King and his son, in which the King would get shot by poachers, make thing son a "newborn" king, get it? I thought it was pretty good, but lacked the visual idea for it.

Then I watched Eastbound and Down.

I came up with an idea of a white trash guy who could not wrap it up and show the downside to a "Newborn." Granted, it is kinda a literal interpretation of the topic, but if done correctly could be pretty cool.

This is what I have so far, the man silhouetted is the same guy in my last post, I really like how downtrodden I made him look. My idea for the top half is to have a whole bunch of kids making a ruckus, and have a couple of kids fighting as they are hanging the banner. But will this make it too busy?

Im looking help on:
composition
Top half background (stated above)
Mother's hair/pose (Im thinking more dramatic)

That's actually a really good idea.

Also, this is off-topic, but tremendous kudos for Eastbound and Down.

ninjacat11 thanks and Eastbound is, frankly, one of the best stories Ive ever seen told and/or acted

Spare a thought for me, I haven't seen either of those programs. What I'm getting from what you've done is a guy who's oppressed under family life.

If I'm right on that, check his arm proportions and give him more of a curve to the top of his head so that we think he has a chance of dealing with it.

Sorry, probably not much help, but, as I said, I haven't seen the progs, so maybe it's not relevant....
