Thanks for all your comments and encouragement on my last post!
there's something there that i like with the digitally "distressed" line and flat color, but it needs more developing....
the studio asked me to do my "traditional" style, so i did my same-old, same-old.
i guess they were right--these do look better. (and they were a lot more work!) i'm pretty happy with the 8 pieces, and the studio is too.
meanwhile, i will continue to fiddle with photoshop...
