With the help of some friends, I have compiled a roster of talented artists to contribute to a weekly sketch jam by invitation only. Every week or so we will settle on an idea and will each take a stab at illustrating the concept. The level of completion can be anything from a rough sketch to a finished rendering. This blog is intended, for those who are involved, to be an opportunity to challenge one another, to challenge ourselves, and to connect with our contemporaries in the field.

Thanks for posting man. I wasn't sure what was going on when I first looked at it. After reading your description it became clearer. Your composition is fine but its not reading as a outdoor scene. You might want to separate the background from the foreground with a little atmospheric perspective. In other words the robot's shadows are too intense to communicate that it's in the distance. The figure in the foreground is a bit blown out so its a little hard to see him. Id like to see you refine this a little more.
Hey,
Thanks so much for the input. I've posted up a revised version that incorporates your suggestions. I definitely think the shadows were way too dark.

Definitely a step in the right direction. But the Frozoznes pose is still not clear. I suggest delineating his contours more with contrast. Try flopping the image and blurring your eyes. This will
1.give you a different perspective on the image and
2. Make it clear to you what others see at first glance. Try to make a a quick read so that we know what's going on at a glance.
Thanks Mr.M.
I got too carried away with the snow fx and it hurt the communication of the piece.
I think this one should have spent some more time in the oven.
Branch.
