Critique - Shiloh Illustration



For the 3/22 issue of VOX, I made an illustration for a story about the possible relocation of Shiloh. When the story was pitched, it made it seem like MU expansion was going to force Shiloh off its property. So, I illustrated to represent this idea. When I finally read the story, however, it was determined that Shiloh was not going to be moving any time soon. Thus, I was faced with a dilemma: my old illustration didn't fit the new focus of the story. I tried to brainstorm other ideas, but I couldn't think of any (and I had spent time on the old illustration and rather liked it). I finally decided just to add a red "rumor" stamp to the illustration to show that the gossip was not true. Maybe I took the easy way out, but I think it was still successful in getting the idea across.
