Description

Here is a second version (and hopefully the last one, but I'm still waiting on feedback from my "father-in-law", so if you want to make suggestions, there is still time... :frustrated: :P) of the final layout for the Poe Project!

Here are the elements and references:
:bulletgreen: A pencil portrait of Edgar Allan Poe (might be flipped, but this one was done after a painting, not a daguerreotype, so actually it shouldn't);
:bulletgreen: A haunted mansion, with red windows referring to both The Fall of the House of Usher and The Masque of Red Death;
:bulletgreen: A black cat and a raven, referring to the tale and poem of the same names;
:bulletgreen: A creepy dead tree, as in The Fall of the House of Usher;
:bulletgreen: A moon with whirlwind (The Fall of the House of Usher) transforming into a whirlpool, and a man riding a barrel, illustrating A Descent into the Maelström;
:bulletgreen: A flipped manuscript of The Spirits of the Dead (very light overlay);
:bulletgreen: A goldbug (which will be in special colour-changing ink), as reference to The Gold-Bug;
:bulletgreen: Finally, Poe's signature, birth and death dates, the logo of company for which I'm doind this, and the year of the calendar.

I would like to thank my boy-friend Mat:heart:, and also (in no particular order):
:iconandyiomoon: :icondragonladych: :iconire-ne:, :iconkiboko77: :iconstarrynienna: :iconterrance-b-funderful: :iconinkibus: :iconnoe-izumi: :iconlivel: :iconthorleifr: :iconefenleot: :icongraemeskinner: :iconfrodo-lives: :iconelegaer: :iconcelticarwen: :icongandarius: :iconoak-child: :iconmonkeypunk413: :icontiamat9:
Your feedback and support during the various steps of the project mean a lot. :hug:

Now :fingerscrossed:, all! I will get this job! Right? :D

Crooty, my lack of comments doesn't mean I haven't been supporting your effort... I just haven't been on dA in ages. This is really amazing. You should be truly proud of this piece... and if you don't get chosen... well they are morons.
