My humble entry: Seven Dreams...: Here's how it was created: Original sketch: Inked and lettered: Shaded: What say you?
I think it's lovely, but I would loose the dialog. I think its more powerful of an image with out it. What you have drawn conveys exactly what you're trying to get across, so the dialog seams redundant.
I wanted to...dang, family-friendly website... And Tom, you're probably right, but without the dialogue box there was more empty space in the dream balloon than I liked. Thank you!
Actually, I was going for a dream where Seven is her fully Borg self assimilating her fully human self, so making blondie - grown-up Annika Hansen - buck naked while it happens would have made more sense, cause we've all had dreams where we're in a weird situation with no clothes on, right? But all I needed to meet the contest requirements was a beauty and a beast, and Annika's hot even in conservative clothes, so I didn't indulge...
