Be CompleteYou must have a trusted third party review your plan to ensure it addresses all possible issues an investor may have.

Pretty large size for me, so it was a real challenge balancing the amount of detail and keeping a good flow moving throughout the image without creating a nightmare for myself. It was for an office environment, so I tried to keep the creatures rather humanesque and benign in nature. And -- ya know -- let me take this moment to curse the posting editor here, which is frustrating as hell. I've spent half an hour trying to make this image show up properly. [ *EDIT: Thanks Davi, hopefully I will be able to remember this for the future, since I always end up fumbling around with it. Airbrushed Acrylic on Paper • 30"x60" ...And a couple of detail shots.
