I actually love this as is. Maybe if you added some brick texture or something in the background, you would get a sense that they were headed toward something. I would vote this at least a 4 or 5
yeah I love teh guys and I dont see teh need for any conceptual work it works fine as just the image , maybe add some building texture in teh background but it doesnt need it per se
I really think it's funny, but there's something that bothers me. These "bad guys" seem to be a hybrid between cat burglars and olde tyme villains. Olde tyme villains should have handlebar mustashes, capes and top hats. Cat burglars have striped shirts, masks, newsboy caps... and maybe some could be holding crow bars. maybe you could make some of each? as I said, this bad guy hybrid just seems a little odd to me.
the crooks were actually inspired by the hamburglar i think. i just wanted to make them as stereotypically bad guy as possible.
the brick texture isnt a bad idea... the idea was that they were sort of running from the fuzz and just ended up climbing a ladder to nowhere. maybe i could add a cop copper at the bottom of the ladder.
any thoughts?
