Hey guys, due to the fact that a lot of us here can't make the deadline, the submission date has be extended to June 15th. For those who were on time, thank you! Feel free to make changes to your art if you wish.

EDIT: There is an extra extension. For those I invited who see this. Please do not mind the previous due dates. The work is to be done by July 6th!

momizi

WIP I guess. I've always liked the Japanese maple leaves and the mountain scenery in Japan.
I think sideways single would be ok.
-1km

crowds

i super like how tight and cluttered buildings in some area of japan, and when it lights up at night its like a different world.
the final will be in b/w pencil with maybe little digital touch-ups if i want to emphasize the lights (...i hope doing b/w is okay). also not sure if it's good enough for 2 page spread, will see how it turns out. suggestions welcome~

tanabata

my wip is the crappiest thing ever lol.
anyways, I'm planning on doing a picture on my favorite holiday in Japan, tanabata :) the colors of the bg is slightly faded off or else the sketch would be hard to make out.
crits welcome.

Okonomiyaki

Hello there.
I've finally come up with a WIP, so here it is. The guy's pose is bothering me, damn foreshortening...
Crits welcome

Idea

This was just an idea that I carried out a little further than I wanted to; I really wanted to paint an onsen, but I'm having second thoughts now. This is a father bathing his son before going in the onsen? It needs a background but I will probably try out a bunch more compositions and ideas before settling. What are your thoughts on this one?

Shrine concept/thumbnail

Hey everyone! Here's my concept thumbnail. Not sure if I want to do this as a landscape 8.5x11 or a two page. Thoughts?
