Well, that's done. This is one of those pieces where I can see ten thousand things wrong with it, but I need to sit back and at least appreciate what I tried to do- I rarely attempt actual scenes, so this is quite a stepping stone.
This was another piece related to my illustrative drawing class, probably the last thing involving these characters for a while

I hate when that happens. I do that with sketches that are meant to be colored. I'll draw it out and it'll sit as a sketch on my desk for months before I eventually decide it needs to be completed. Those turn out nicely sometimes though, but I think that's because after months of staring at it I end up formulating how it should appear once completed.
I'm in love with all the facial expressions and body language. I really love how the Tortuous' hand is wrested on the wooden plank and the trees and everything are lovely, makes me think of either a coming Fall season. Everything is so bright and clear. After looking at the Digital one as well I really wished the pin stripes on the goats pants were on this one as well, really adds a touch to the character.
Those soft colors. That dappled light. That oh shit expression on the moose. Everything here wraps together just marvelously. I can tell your classes are honing you, because you're only getting better.
Looking at this makes questions instantly pop in my head, which to me, is the sign of a strong illustration. "Why?" "Where?" "Who?" "I actually care? This is neat!"
