woowie i wish i could i could pose so many people cool pic and nice background. reminds me of the real world

Hey, I saw a prohibited bicycle on the sidewalk!!! Isn't the lady in the middle a bit too shiny compared to the rest, or is she the misfit? Anyway, great and interesting scene you put up here! I do find it a little puzzling that there are no evident shadows on the sidewalk, as there are shadows on the people.

I'm guessing this is a composite scene, hence the lack of shadows under the people. Gotta say though, I like how you populated your street. The people each have a bit of personality and the street itself has some too with the graffiti and grime. Nice.

Thanks for the compliments. This picture is a scene from an online autobiographical comic strip that takes place in Seattle in '89. You could indeed see flamboyant women with shiny clothing in some areas of town. The misfit is the guy with the blond hair and glasses -- ME. This is indeed a composite scene, but I had actually generated shadows for the ground. I decided against using them because I didn't like the way they looked. The picture looks a little different in the online comic because lots of lettering appears on the page. The lack of shadows doesn't bother me as much with all the lettering on the page. I'll continue to experiment with shadows in future pieces and will probably do a better job with them in the future. The guy biking on the sidewalk may have gotten busted. :)
