You say the scan is bad, but I think the grain gives it a Cloverfield-ish film effect

Definitely belongs in professional work. Maybe you should illustrate an HP Lovecraft story. Some of his works are public domain you know, and I happen to know some book publishers....

that would be nice...unfortunately only my friends are interested in my work and they're all broke like yours truly
one of my professors does want to take the series to houston with him to show a guy who runs the print co-op and a gallery up there. even though i'm sure nothing will come of it, i'm definately going to take him up on it.

thank you!! i just left those areas of copper unetched and etched the hell out of the rest of it. i also burnished around the moons to make them seem brighter.
i think i'm going to go through withdrawals. so much work all semester and now nothing...
