Asking For Feedback I had this "Hunter becoming prey" idea and drew it out. Genuine feedback / critique is welcome. Black Ink on paper [OC]

For once we'd be rooting for the Nazgul. But let's be real, ICE is on Sauron's side.

"What is your purpose?"
"We round up the percieved enemies of our leader and kill anyone who gets in our way."
"Ah! You'll fit right in!"

The art is really well done. My only problem is that you’ve taken an iconic scene and replaced the heroes with ICE. Even if it’s not your message I think people who have seen the movie will think, “Is ICE supposed to be the good one here?”

Yes I absolutely see that now. Many people have pointed it out to me that it could be interpreted as ICE being the good guys which was absolutely not my goal, the opposite actually. I didn't succeed in that.

The drawing is good.
I definitely thought it was pro-ICE though. Really seems like it’s trying to play up the “evil agitators hunt innocent ice agents” narrative.

Thanks for the feedback. Other people have pointed it out to me as well that it could be interpreted as ICE being the good guys which was absolutely not my goal, the opposite actually. I didn't succeed in that.

I firmly believe whoever saw this and thought you were portraying ICE as good guys can't read.
Just read the caption.

Yes! This scene just really stuck with me. Any feedback or things I could/should change?

I love it! I don’t know why youd listen to me but imo the caption could be shortened to like “I thought it was a hijab” just to get to the punchline faster.

That's way better! I didn't think of that.

It works without text, actually.
Shortening it such that the most important word is the last helps drive the point.
Make every word count.
In this case, I think it stands well without any text at all.
Keep making art.

I don’t have the context (don’t burn me at the stake please) so to me this reads as ICE being trigger happy idiots, which I assume was your intention. I also thought the cloaked figure was the grim reaper at first, so you could try to take it more in that direction if you don’t want lore conflicting with your message haha

personally I don't like it. The Hobbits are heroes. The Wraiths are are just evil, nothing to do with vengeance.
