Stickfiguratively Sleepy Hollow

Working on some concept work for Stickfiguratively Speaking: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I’m thinking that all of the night scenes will be black like the bottom image, with the sticks in white. Anybody hate it?

There’s a little hatching, I swear…

Yeah, more problem solving. For some reason, I’m complete sucked into the idea of using jet black skies to represent those deep, Pacific, blue sky days; which seems completely counter-intuitive… which is probably why I like it.
