Don't know if I'm allowed to start the thread, but I was done... so here goes.

All photoshop and mouse. No initial sketch... 30 min.

thats because Gaiman manages to fit in so many aspects of different cultures... But it is a nice sketch, also the one with the knife lodged in the guy.

Hunger_Artist,

I can tell your friend is good, simply because he managed to draw that and color it not too badly in twenty minutes. However, something you may tell him to keep in mind is a reference point. Right now his drawing seems very 2D. It lacks the depth that some people (even my crappy pic at the top) have accomplished since they gave themselves a reference point.

The reference point in my pic is the window inside the tower. I am new to the rendering world, and am really just learning the ropes about coloring... but I think keeping a light source more in mind would also give his drawing a bit more 3D look.
