@Chip-Valecek that looks like a Ray Harryhausen style dog.
If you’re still after critical feedback I wondered what would happen if the blue of the saliva was toned back so it was less saturated. Would it make the flame on the tail look brighter? Would the saliva still look wet? Is this the effect you want?
Or is the saliva glowing and giving off its own light? If it is how would this bounce off the mouth and teeth.
Cool pick Chip. Love the concept and the cold blue flame and the glowing eyes. Now I have to try and sleep
@Amanda-Jean Happy to help! I was so excited when I read your intro and know you'll live up to it. Trying to come up with my own superstition illo idea and yours really jumped out at me.
@Kat Yeah I think I'm leaning third as well. Hadn't thought of putting in the farmer and i think that would tell more of a story, will def sketch it out. Cheers
@MikeCañas Yeah, the already-eaten apple cores is a good idea! That would really imply that he's taking the superstition to the next level (more than one apple a day). I'm going to try that along with the nervous expression. Thanks!
thanks @BichonBistro
there were some smudgy lines along the angel's wings and along top line of his shoulder/shirt. also wanted to improve the edges along the pencil and shirt collar, and touch up the ear a bit. I did all that, still left a bit of smudge I think in the background! I may have smoothed things out a little too much.......... But it was good to practice re-working. too bad I had deleted my original photoshop file! Thanks for the feedback, really nice to hear
Thanks. I’m still working on the story. But maybe at the same time working on a few of the illustrations that I want to include. Thanks for the encouragement! I’ll post so progress here when there is some...
@Nyrryl-Cadiz Thanks I may add more clover over the next couple of weeks. Anything to really connect the clover to the lightning strike.
@chrisaakins Thanks I'll try some little bits of arcing lightning left over (but I think it may be a bit far )
Had some time to work on this, and here’s where I am with it. Not done yet. But I’m not pleased with the kids faces, but I’m not sure what’s wrong with them. I plan to add glass, and finish the windows and siding, maybe add a cloud or two in the sky.
Anyway, I appreciate any feedback or suggestions on the image - the kids or anything else. Thanks!
@AustinShurtliff Thank you! I'm so glad, because I want to create more greeting cards that are more illustrative as I try to "level up" with SVS. Thanks!
@Braden-Hallett Thanks for the comment! Yeah I feel this has been a little ambitious but felt I needed to for missing out on these the last few months. It has been fun so far. On to character designs!
Hi guys,
I made a simple illustration about a little witch changing the color of her cat (to black). Because, you may not know this, witches are supertitious about their cats! They need to be black. But, if a witch loves a cat that is not black, she can use her magic. However, as cats tend to go to their natural color as the magic fades, the witch has to cast the spell every day to make sure the cat stays black...
So, do you think this is strong enough for the contest? Input is very welcome!
