The dino-gorilla is awesome! :D
The only things I don't really understand are the thin white outlines (I mean around the dino-gorilla's head and right hand, and around the superhero's right forearm).
IMHO, since the colors are perfect, you don't need those outlines in order to separate background and foreground elements.
But that's just my opinion... :-)

Thanks, Luca. I really appreciate it.

Believe me when I tell you, those halos were needed. I did a version previous to this one without using any halos, and it was very difficult to separate the planes since there was so much going on in those areas and the line-weights were so similar. I tried a number of different things to help separate it without the halos, but nothing looked natural. I actually didn't even consider using the halos until it was suggested to me to try. It didn't muck with the original colors and was pretty effective in breaking up the planes. I'm generally against halos, but in this case, I think it worked.

Thanks Matt! I was "this" close to asking you to send this one to me for colors before I saw it on HueDoo, so this worked out nicely. :)

We definitely need to hook up. Maybe we can do some collabs for prints?

LOL! No worries. I've been dying to say something, but they asked me to wait until they made an announcement this week. Technically, I didn't let the cat out of the bag so.......:)

Thanks for the comp! Can't wait to see it.
