I'm having a very hard time, 3 with one main focus point/guy, with a small space, is strange, but I hope I do a good job. I'm not a professional but I love to draw. Seems like no one is excited about this.

Do what I'm doing, draw on a A3 pice of paper, then go to a copy shop and scale it down, if you don't have a A3 scanner.

They obviously added the new characters and changed the contest rules because of the enormous amount of entrants they received.

It's always easier to work large and then scale it down. I just find it difficult to get every last detail in. Even though my TF art isn't really detailed filled. When it comes to covers it has to be striking...to those that read the book and to those that might pick up the book. Composition can help with that if my drawing sucks.

Word.

A true dictatorship is like a pit of vipers. It can only sustain itself for so long. At that point in time, it then is replaced by another, more lethal serpent.
