That's it, just wanted to show you the progress so far, there will be
more details added in the future, just wanted to take a small break
from it.

How about now? It was blank for me too, but got it to work with the right click> view image option in firefox. IE user could try dragging and dropping on the link bar.

I can see it if I cut and paste it into the URL bar.  Maybe it's the web host.

In any case... I like the rocker setup.  You'll have to make sure to add some groupies.

Expect a new version when I get from coledge (sp).

Pretty cool, but as a drummer, I noticed a few problems.

1. This was the obvious one. The bass drum is out of perspective to the rest of the set.

2. Theres no toms.

3. (He might just have his arms up in the air, but if they were actually playing,) you would need to add another cymbal closer to the snare. Because since his hands are in the air, it looks as if he's about to come down on 2 crashes.

4. The drummer looks exactly like the guitar player...

5. No bass player?

 

Those are just what I saw. This could be an awsome piece. Just add a couple things, change a few things, and this could be a crazy room. Great start.

For every second spent wondering if you can do something, you could spend 2 seconds doing it.

Thanks for the comments, here's the first edit:

I know that the characters blend in with the background at the moment, but I'll fix that later tweaking saturation between them.

Garage Inc.:
The bass drum is actually facing the person viewing the picture. I'm aware that the bass player is missing, he will be added, with mike on the stage and a bunch of wires. I know the drumkit looks crappy in general, but it's hard to do with resolution this small.

Sedgemonkey:
Mmmm, groupies. Gonna try adding them in the next version.

Good point about the resolution. Thats a pretty sweet idea. Great job so far.

It really is shaping up nicely. The colorful backdrop and rearranged figures work much better.

Thanks for the comments, here's a new (final?) version:


I:
-lowered the background's saturation
-changed the love bead entrance
-added a rock chick
-added shadows under the characters.

What do you think?

I think you should have the people standing in front of the band with their arms up kinda like the drummer, to show that their havin a rockin time. Right now it looks like they are robots. other than that, it looks great!

Thanks for the comments, I'm done with it now, added some more shading, one new character, modified some of the old characters and added some cables to the stage. Here's the image:
