@stephanie cute characters. I like how the glow figure is smiling and the others not.

ArtistErin

Re-visiting these character poses. I am getting closer... trying to retain the innocent face, yet there's too much " older face " still. Children have a softness I am still seeking.

Thanks @Kim-Rosenlof!

I like your piece, too! What an interesting twist. I’ve been MIA most of this year due to work, but starting re-entering again past 3 months.

These are both delightful! Nicely done and the first has such a unique story. Love the warmth and coolness of your colours in both.

@ArtistErin I love them! That nose and those eyes are just like those my 2,5 year old daughter has. And where she's jumping and sleeping I see that vibrant liveliness of young kids with her smile. Maybe the eye brows are usually not so well shaped at that age? Depending on the kids maybe as well, but they seem a bit plucked in shape type of eyebrows? Maybe more chubiness in the cheecks? Can't find what else could make them less young. I remember Will Terry talking about this in one of the podcast episodes. But I love them and the remind me of my little girl.

@mzameckaart It's a salt shaker. She has it just uncapped it and is ready to throw it, so she has the top still in one hand while hiding the container itself behind her back. Salt traditionally protects against ghosts.

It was a bit of a challenge to have an important detail be so very small, so I tried to make it brighter. But it wasn't the focal point, and since the details of the story were l already given in the book, I had to think of the best way I could to make them part of the image. Really, what I'm hoping to get out of this is a critique!

@marek-halko How whimsical! Ghosts finding an extraordinary moment in an everyday setting. Love it!

@mzameckaart The Sims!!! Yes I played that for a time, it was the closest thing to dollhouse interaction in a game format I could get my hands on at that time Might be dating myself, and having not an ounce of patience for video games, anything past Animal Crossing on Nintendo was the extent of where I played... my kids will send me "remember when" videos of early scenes! Loved that stuff. However I'd be inspired to draw after pulling 100 weeds or shaking the crap out of the peach tree, and my eyes would be fuzzed out from staring at a screen for far too long.
