Description
So many people asked for Cecil's story that I decided that my silly title may as well become a self-fulfilling prophecy.___
Simple as it may seem, I played with this one quite a lot before deciding to go with what you see. I had a xillion ideas, but in the end, I forced myself to stay consistent. Except with the colour of the text. I couldn't go white (which is what I'd wanted) without doing double-thickness, and I like the thinner lines. However, I'd like your opinion; should I go with white text, to match the title piece? Or stick with the dark, but thinner, text?
___
I make no promises as to where this is going to go. Right now, the story does not exist. If I write it, it will be slowly, and it will likely make little sense in the long run.

Created in Illustrator 10 with a Wacom, and mouse.

This makes me sigh.
In a good way.
It's like a piece of a puzzle clicking into place.
Which is a really odd thing to say, but oh well.
I like it.

i don't know if you still plan to take it futher, but so far it looks great
nice
simplicity is not only in the image, but in the words too... so the whole thing is pretty consistent
in my opinion, you can keep the black, it works well that way

these 2 cecil illustrations are to die for, seriously, the colors, the lines, everything is beautiful and innocent, defiantly some of my favorite pieces by you. You should make a bunch, then offer them at poster size in a collage, or a book......rock on!

I am so in love with this style of yours. such a beautiful stationary, but cutting edge style, especially the words, sad but always beautifully written.

Aw, love it. Looks so pro, nice and clean. I like how the rain in coming out of the umbrella. You just gave me an idea for a pic. Thanks.

Ummm, should the 'story' be continued? I think this makes a statement... Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it has no follow up.
I love it. I can completely relate... COM-PLETE-LY!
I love

You know, this is classy. The first was classy, and this is classier.
The little black lines are nice. They contrast well with the background, withoug being overly rude about it. I say keep them, and keep the white text for the title and "The End", whenever it happens.
It is the sadest thing of all. Mew.

dark thin text. the umbrella is awesome. it makes me want to wrap my life up in this whole pattern... not to jump too far a head. but i think when this is all done you should put it together like a childrens book. like a few lines per page with a graphic, and sell it. i would buy it. i already adore it. even though i just +fav'd your other thing, i want to +fav this as well. so... +fav.
