defining a style

first up.. a layout/wip of something I'm doing for a friend- to be finished by no later than this wednesday so that he has time to print out copies.
... he's bringing free food to Rainfurrest to help out people who've been misusing their money on art :3


and an update on the commission for Yaegashi.


and all the rest are some sketches trying to pin down the style I'll bs using for The River.
this first one kind of failed.


this one slightly less so O-o


starting to get a better handle on it here, especially in terms of the bodies.


here we go! the head on the far left one is a little too defined, bit this page is getting VERY close to the overall effect I'm looking for.


Here we go!


the question now, of course is "can i repeat that?"
