I'm going to comment on this pic because it's really, really good and nobody is commenting and SHAME ON THEM.
I've gotten a lot of artwork of me being inflated and all but a few pieces are nice but this is one of the rare few that I actually love.
The pose is awesome. Most artists don't know what to do with the hands. The good artist, like you, put one hand on his belly, which helps accent his growth. But you added a layer of emotional detail by having his other hand holding his head, and it looks natural too, which is really impressive.
I also like what you did with his legs, particularly his feet. Some artists just draw him with no detail to his feet at all which bums me out because it's little details like that which make the whole picture great and giving him the split-toed style is great, adds to his his "alienness."
His face is probably my favorite part though (as it often is). You took my request for a "happier" expression and knocked it out of the park. You figured out how to convey his eyes being closed, which almost nobody else has done, but you used curving them in a very specific way to express a very specific emotion. I can't even say how remarkable that is. Then you added an an eyebrow quirk that adds a small, subtle element of what I pick up as being overwhelmed? SO PERFECT.
The shading is also just ridiculously good. All of it. In particular, you used source of light and shaded his legs to convey his body blocking the light source, which helps so much to give a sense of size.
I'm also really impressed with how you replicated his design, particularly his chest cross. That's always tricky to do with inflated pecs but it looks just right.
Overall: A++ would commission again. This really makes me want to see a non-inflated version of Anodyne by you!
