    Alright, I'm cleaning up my inks in Photoshop. I searched the thread but couldn't see anything about bleeds for the design. Does it need to have bleeds or is 8.5" x 11" @ 400 dpi good enough? Also, is it okay to do it at 600 dpi? Or does it have to be 400 dpi? Sorry for all of the questions!

    What do you mean by bleeds? Space around the edge?

    Also if it's more than 400dpi, I don't see how that's really a bad thing.

    Yeah, like if it got printed, would it bleed off of the page? Or would there be a white border around the art on the page and I wouldn't have to worry about it? Sorry for being such a pain!

    Who is the pimp in the middle supposed to be?

    EDIT: Oh it's Khoo, he looks less like a business type person and more like a Super-Fly Pimp.

    Is that some kind of woodblock Firefly homage? That's pretty neat though.

    Yeah its Khoo, hes supposed to come across as Shepherd Book from Firefly.

    Unfortunately, I think I may have made the Firefly part of the equation too obscure for people to get without being told.

    BLAH. :|

    EDIT: YAY Tofystedeth!!! Thank you for making me feel a bit better by getting it. :)

    You do know it's supposed to be 8.5x11" in portrait orientation, right? That means vertical.

    I had to double check that it was in the OP and it is so there's no excuse!

    Don't think I'll have any more time to work on this, so I'm calling it done at this point. There's still a hell of a lot wrong with it that I wish I could go and fix, but doing so would take waaaaaaaaaaaaay more time than I have on my hands.

    Great job as alway AOB. Your colours always makes things look so solid and believable. The fruit fuckers pose is a little funky, but i dig it, daddio.

    I swear they are going to have to print another book to put all these in- because there are going to be heaps of awesome entries.

    maybe even 5 heaps of awesomeness.

    way more than the daily recommended intake.

    Man, I hope my friend manages to finish and submit his in time. He got it drawn and scanned in, but didn't have enough to time finish it before he went to Papua New Guinea for two weeks. Hopefully he can find some wifi in the jungle.

    CyberMonkey, that looks as if Gabe itself drew it. Incredible.

    Though if Sonic manages to finish his PA Wars poster in time you'll have a run for your money.

    Mustang- ummm... thats a good question.. it could be like wet paint off of the cardboard tube.. or something.. to be honest I sometimes add little bits like that on my work- there is another one by gabes belt. I used to add way more, like the entire thing was breaking loose. This one was a little closer to the tube, but i moved it when i added the bolt- is it a little too distracting?

    And as earthworm rightly added- its mean't to be one of tychos fake spock ears falling off

    The red glow gives the impression that it's his real ear popping off, which is probably why people aren't making the connection. Pretty damn good though.
