@kirsten-mcg Awesome! Thanks! That exact thought about it possibly not being the right cloud shape ran through my mind this morning. Thanks for pointing that out. I like your tweak.
My Superhero WIP – Captain Toots!
-
@Melissa_Bailey Yeah, I think I'm really muddying the waters with the transformation, so I'm pulling the alias out for now. I do this every month – try to fit the entire book idea into one page.
Maybe I'll bring it back, if the rest of the sheet looks good, but I have to focus.
And no, I haven't really pushed it with the name yet. Captain Toots is just what I call my 4yo and 1yo at times, and I ran with it. I should definitely think about that as I'm working on the art. Thanks.
And thank you! Great thoughts.

Adjustments, removing the transformation for now.

@KevinTreaccar I think it looks clearer without the transformation now but I need the fart cloud back!!! Current poses aren't very clear on what Captain Toot is about and I'm really digging the idea of a fart-powered flying baby superhero.

@ArtMelC Agreed! That should be the action pose, haha.
-
@ArtMelC @Meekipink Good news, the fart noise is already incorporated into the action pose! Just need to ink the sketch.
I might even be adding a bonus pose with a bonus fart noise…
-
The fart cloud/sound effect returns...
-
@KevinTreaccar I agree that this is much clearer without the transformation! And your subtle is great! I did a draw over for an idea I had to make it a little more clear that this is a fart rather than just a burst of air from his speed. I'm so excited to see this one finished!

Still need to adjust the fart punch cloud (and add color and shadow), but I've finished the required poses.
I plan on adding one more pose on the right side, though. Captain Toots flying off (with another fart noise trailing behind). Adding a 6th pose doesn't disqualify us, correct?
Thanks

How does this look before I add shading and color?
-
Color added...
-
And some shading now, too. See anything I need to fix?
Thanks

Wanted to say thank you again to everyone who helped bring Captain Toots to life. Thank you!
