Thanks for your comment!

Cal, if I were to do this again, I would certainly simplify it (and not use that font, if any lettering).

Steve – that’s pretty much what I was going for, so thanks!

Izhar – I do try to steer clear of cliches or what is to me the most obvious course. Some topics (such as this week’s) are harder than others.

Chris – from much further down the ladder than you, I agree! I find books helpful on top of that experience – to learn easier ways to do something or to see what is possible with a program or medium.

I think it’s great that you’re giving yourself projects to challenge yourself and learn about different programs. This is pretty much how I learned Photoshop and Illustrator. Books can only go so far — self-administered projects and exchanges with other artists are the best ways to learn in my opinion.

A very sinister picture, I think you don’t even need the blood+txt to implicate parenticide, just give the innerdoll a cuddleytoy (or anything other defining a baby) to hold and your done. (or possibly make the blood drip from the rim as a decorative pattern.)

Cheers!

Cal!
