The upper-wall is too blurry, the cabling is too thick and the buildings need some light gridding for their windows.

Other than that, it's the best thing you've ever done. But I suppose you already know that.

made a few corrections. added some (very) faint grid lines on the buildings. trimmed the cables a bit. made the rail at the top of the buildling less blurry (tho i left the bricks alone). i also extended the cracks in the sidewalk where the weeds came through.

I already posted on WS about the awesomeness of this, and the only crticism I have is about the size of the shoes, and the size of the dog.

Took one look and thought :wtf: that is some kick-ass piece of work, wouldn't mind at all having this @ poster size on the wall...

now as for the given comments sofar...the dog's size is not the problem, it is its proportions that isn't quite right, its head needs to be ~50% bigger and more squashed/stubnosed (if it is supposed to be that little 'french bulldog' ) Shoes, well, on the whole, I think artistic freedom is in its good rights here, dunno how it would look when they'd be smaller...but indeed the dog is a 'new breed' with that small a head...and for the rest..I do not pretend to be that good to judge if the upper wall is too blurred or the wires to thick, after all, the wall could be obscured by a dustcloud (seems very smoggy behaind the wall) and the wiring could be the result of a nation getting sensible and covered them with isolation.

:lol: it's where the train tracks would be if Houston had any sense. but they dropped them down to the ground right in the middle of main street instead. now some ****wit hits it like once a week.

any more buildings and the top would look too busy. i already don't like how much focus the background gets (but that's prolly just cuz i'm used to doing more minimalist stuff).

and yeah it could.

Surely that's the whole joke. Either the dog isn't worth being beware of or it's like Holy Grail's pyscho bunny :D

tru :yes: it's supposed to be a miniature boston terrier. i'm not sure if those things actually come in miniature or toy sizes, but just the same. that's the joke. the head should probably be a little bigger, but meh.

and thanks Flipside. :D


btw, it's not really that legible at this res, but the shirt says "shiny happy people are my trigger". i've had requests to make it more legible, but then it wouldn't look as worn, so not going to happen.

maybe the smoke coming from the cig is a bit too thick? or wrong color at the beginning, because the end part of the smoke looks to be in the correct color(somewhat bluish grey)
