I'm thinking of turning this into this month's mailing. Is it exciting enough, does it feel stagnant, are the expressions on the characters varied enough, etc., etc. I wanted to get some feedback at this stage before I ink it. Thanks!
I'm going to be completely honest and please remember this is only my opinion.
I think the idea of having the kids be the thanksgiving dinner for the turkeys is a little too strong. I don't know, I think it's a bit too scary. Remember that you are trying to sell yourself as a children's illustrator so children are top priority. Maybe if you show this to kids they will be frightened by it.
I don't know... this are just my thoughts. The drawing is lovely and very well done.:o) But if it were me, I wouldn't use it for a postcard.
Sorry to have discouraged you to send this, it is very well drawn and the expression of the turkeys are really very good. Just that I didn't think it would be a good idea for a postcard.
Did you see my comment below? The other illos of the girl and boy running behind the turkey are wonderful. Perhaps you want to work something out with those.
I am a tea drinking, cozy sock wearing, children's illustrator. I'm constantly inspired by my lovable husband, our two beautiful children, and our two utterly goofy dogs.

Thanks Alicia,
Yeah, I guess you're probably right. I thought it was silly, not scary, but it might be construed that way to kids.
I appreciate your candid opinion! Thanks.
