Thanks Lion's Emblem! I will keep your tips in mind; looking at the drawing now I can see what you mean.
In response to your earlier question, I think we should be ready for a deadline.
I do have one question for you now. Is this a case of "The more the merrier?" I can choose another scene if you like. I'm having a great time with this.

Edmund P: I'm glad you are planning on being a contributer to the project. Good job with the drawing! Will you do more as well?

Thank you, eves_daughter and Adeona, for your comments .

Edmund P: I really like it! The trees are very artistic (one of the orange leaves catches interest well) and you have made the stonewalls very detailed. The perspective in the upper left corner of the tower is a bit off, but that doesn't really matter .

Adeona: The fire is great, and I really like the window! You have clearly given a lot of thought as where the shadows are, I like especially the shadowing of the inside of the bookself. Lion's Emblem said really much better anything I could have said of the bed, so I refer to that post.

[This goes a little off-topic, but I think it needs to be said, just in case. I have found out over the years that the vocabulary needed in commenting artwork is not my strongest area. If I have said something that doesn't make sense or used wrong words, please take into account that English is not my first language . (For example, I don't know if "shadowing" is a correct term.)]

You're quite welcome Adeona, glad I could help. I'm glad that you are enjoying the project. As a response to your question, I am for "the more the merrier". I will never put a restriction on how many illustrations an individual can contribute to the project. If you want to illustrate some more, be my guest (just make sure that the scene you want to illustrate isn't already taken by another artist on the list). As such, I think you are right about a deadline so:

ATTENTION: For SC, I would like to have all contributed illustrations complete by the end of next week (Oct. 10). I know that all deadlines don't always work for all illustrators, so if you need an extension, please let me know and I can give you one.

OK then, if it is all right with you I would like to do Jill's Rude Awakening in the beginning of the chapter Puddleglum.

Here's Rilian looking over Underland:

Sounds good Adeona. I look forward to seeing the finished product .

Another superb illustration Mehinen . I really like the coloration on this one. I'll go ahead and update the list. Any specific title name on this one?

Thank you! That title is fine (though it's Rilian, not Rillian).

Here is my final SC drawing; Rude Awakening. It is quite a contrast to Drifting Off, which was for the previous chapter.

Sorry I can't comment now; will have to get to that later!

EDIT: I used GIMP to sharpen and darken the drawing, as suggested. This is the one I want used, please. See what you think:

I like it, Adeona . Those twin owls in the left side of the picture are so cute! And I really like the upper right corner, the spiders' webs (it would be nice to see more of them around the room), the moon, the plants and the fallen stone. I'd like to see more shadows and bigger contrast, however.

Thanks for your comment Mehinen! Each of the owls is supposed to be a specific species, but I could only make them so close to the originals in coloring. I would have liked to put in more spiderwebs (Lewis did describe the room as cobwebby), but not being experienced with the drawing cobwebby rooms , I was not sure how to realistically add them to the walls, etc. Sorry about the shadows. I didn't want the moon to be a strong source of light, so there would not strong shadows, am I correct? I could have made the room overall darker, I think. I was trying not to obliterate too much detail, though. It looks darker on paper!
Now that I look at it again, I think I should have made the window deeper. Oh well. Hindsight is 20/20, as they say.
EDIT: I added a darkened, sharpened version of the drawing to my last entry.

Good job with your Rilian drawing. The contours of his face look very real! And good job with the shading of the city outside the window! It looks just right. I guess my only criticism is that perhaps the ceiling of the underworld (above the city and the red glow) should be darker. Even when lighted up, it would after all still be earth and stone.

Another nice illustration Adeona . The set up and detail in the room is great, nice touches with the cobwebs, wood paneling, and cobbletsones. Yeah, there could be some more contrast, but you can easily darken the image in the computer.

Just a reminder that I would like the have all the illustrations for SC in soon. I know that everyone is on different time tables and schedules and how hard it can be. Please let me know if you need extensions, I'm happy to give them.

beautiful work, Adeona and Mehinen!

I will try to have my drawing done this weekend.

Great work, Adeona and Mehinen!

I'm sorry I haven't been around much...my conscience was tugging at my so I had to hunt up this thread and ask if there was anything that still needed done. I noticed that Voyage didn't look quite finished in on the ITC website...
And also, my Ramandu's Daughter picture looked WAY too light...maybe I should upload it again.

If there's anything you'd like me to do, let me know, okay?

Take your time eves_daughter .

Thanks for coming back 2nd to One. Well, let me see. Did I miss your illustration for SC? I have it on the list, but I don't have a link for it. As for the stat. on SC, we have illustrations for all the chpts on SC. I'm not sure on MN through VDT, I haven't looked at the specifics on these in awhile . If you see any holes on the past books (i.e. chpts without illustration claims), please let me know if you want to fill them. Thank you for your continued contributions and, dont worry, I'll let you know if there is anything extra that you can do .

Here's my SC illustration.

Alright, thanks! I'll look around.
