Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


You are the Master of Simplicity - proving the old adage: less is more - A clean, crisp and beautiful layout, showing your experience and effortless technique. The great expressions on the three characters tells a story about their personalities - the confident athletic Flash, unsure bookworm Peter and contemplating Mary Jane.

I also have to take my hat off to your models and the art direction you have obviously given them. Subtleties such as her thinking and not yet writing, her pen is about to touch down on a brand new page of the diary (even she doesn't know what will be said...)

mikemayhew In reply to Strokeq [2009-07-28 16:47:11 +0000 UTC]

Yes it is. There are 2 Mary Jane novels that Judith wrote that I did the art for.

Here's a link to all the MJ pieces I did, many of which were not published:

That's very close to how I think a modern Peter Parker would look in real life!

I'm impressed with this cover.

hello,

I think this piece is great, just two things, It seems to me that the perspective in the window is diferent from the perspective in the walls and roof.... the other (little) thing, was that is a little to high, so white, is a little hard to see some details, and thats a pitty, because looks georgeous!!!

sorry for my poor english, since I'm spanish and I don't write it properly the most part of the time!! n_n"

thedying [2009-05-29 17:23:55 +0000 UTC]

Awesome. Don't think you need the wall and ceiling line in the corner. It seems out of perspective compared to the window. You could do away with that corner all together. But I'm just a hack so u'll probably be better off with a second opinion. Mary Jane pondering away is very sweet.
