Image type and characters - Type A color digital artwork of a River Otter, (Haydn.) being eaten by a hungry Crocodile.

Why this image was chosen - Theo's cartoon like realism is displayed well in this picture as he depicts the ending of a hapless river otter's trip down under than didn't turn out so well. Crocodiles and alligators have unique mouths and throats that are quite big and they make pretty good predators in situations like this. I recognized Theo's style and was quite happy when I looked at it in full size and saw that Haydn the Otter was being eaten hind legs first. This is quite a warm picture with a lot of browns and variations of pinks for the inside of the Croc's mouth. The character designs are quite well constructed with the aforementioned cartoonish realism that I liked in this piece. The croc looks rather pleased to have caught himself a tasty otter while Haydn looks quite panicked in a major "oh shit!" moment. I like the way the teeth have been done, not white but a yellowish off color, the hint of drool and the big throat entrance that Haydn is about to go down into. The way the image goes darker around the upper right half and down along the right side is an effective fading feature in this artwork. Theo has done enough scale work to make the image look quite detailed along with adding in cracked ground in the BG.

Good piece of work Theo, thanks for posting it.
