so i am messing with the "coloring" on this (and i use the term loosely since we're talking about very flat colors (in fact the green here was very last minute, but frankly i don't know if i can recognize emmie if she's not wearing a green dress).
i didn't ink this because i wanted to see what would happen if i just painted over the pencil lines. so there's some digital outlining, but this is the original sketch. i kind of like the effect. but i don't like digital outlining. it's more time-consuming than inking with a pen, even if it is more versatile. and i'm afraid that the "slickness" of it will show on the larger picts (this one is a mere 3 x 3). i'm trying to get a somewhat less polished look with this ~ especially because my backgrounds are completely slop and i'd rather baste in wide angles like the train depot than go for any sort of "lifeike" quality. the thing is disneyesque enough as it is (i've given in trying to escape the influence of that particular style).
anyway, there it is and that's what it looks like. and no, Bease does not actually talk like the swedish chef. i just haven't decided what, precisely, he says when they step down off the train. i'm sure it will be something insipid like: "watch your step."
your thoughts are very welcome: love it, hate it, wish it was done in "furries" instead? i need some feedback.
happy martin luther king day, flist! hope you're enjoying your day off (if it's a holiday for you!)
: D
p.s. oooo i'm off to a much better start of lj spamming today!

I'm no art critic, mind, but I like the coloring; the sepia tone gives it this very Civil-War era look, which obviously is what you're going for. I also enjoy the business and bustle of the background; it gives in a little space a feel you might have had to spend a whole sweeping panorama to get, if you hadn't used the framing device.

and actually, this is just a crop of the full page (there's a full blown train station and hotel in the wider angle ~ well, ostensibly).

Remind yourself to ask me why I have decided that Rock & Roll is dead. Oh and the green tones have that smooth, macrobiotic look.

macrobiotics is a way of life (and death, but only 20%).
