BIG- WIP

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

Hi, everyone! I’ve been working on some sketches for this month’s prompt. I’ve been thinking of some fun concepts to show big. Below I have the Big Bad Wolf, a big cake, and thumbilina and a big, big cat. I’m leaning more on the thumbilina one. What do you guys think?

Hi Nyrryl,
All 3 options look great, each one works really well! I'm initially drawn to the cake one only because i like seeing a bit of an environment that could potentially have lots of things to look at in the kitchen, I also love all the different characters - that chef is great! Plus I think your use of colour would look wonderful for this one.
However you Thumbelina one is probably the strongest in terms of story, character design, composition and perspective I would maybe show the end of the cats tail so that your eyes follow the cat round to the small thumbelina character!

Look forward to seeing it develop!

[link text](link url)@hannahmccaffery thanks! I am planning to finish each illustration when I have the time. Note taken on the Cat’s tail.

I like the cat. I'm also doing a cat though, so maybe biased. LOL

@nyrrylcadiz Love all your ideas. My vote is for the cat and Thumbelina.

For the wolf idea, I think it would work better from a change of angle, in where we see Red Riding Hood walking toward the viewer, and the wolf is a looming figure.
My vote goes to the Thumbelina one. There's always a sense of fear I have of pets somehow growing larger than life, especially cats. Plus, I love the cat's face.

I get the most sense of 'big' from the massive cat (this is my nightmare). The big bad wolf comes in second.

The cat gives us a nice sense of scale (and the opportunity to make that cat truly eeeeeeeeeevil is something I wouldn't pass up )

Hi, everyone! I’ve inked the cat and thumbelina illustration. Please let me know if you see any wonky or faulty elements or have any suggestions. I truly appreciate your critiques. Thank you so much!

I just did some color comps. When i did the third one, I was really in love with the colors that I think I added too much detail on the comp. What do you think guys? Any suggestions? I’m still open to other color palettes. I think i have too much yellow pieces in my portfolio already. I want to try something new

[NessIllustration]

Ohhh I like the second one!

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@nessillustration the bottom one?

[NessIllustration]

@nyrrylcadiz No the one on the right with the purple!

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@nessillustration oh, i see! That’s my favorite too.

[ThisKateCreates]

@nyrrylcadiz Concur! That's a winner

@nyrrylcadiz Love the purple one

[Kat]

Purple one for sure!

[Coreyartus]

The purple one's colors seem both more "dangerous" and more "fantastical". Regarding too much yellow in your portfolio, maybe you can pull the yellows into a blue-ish color? Does it have to be during the day? Can it be at night?

[ThisKateCreates]

The first one looks really good too if you want a yellow break. I think the last one is more polished so it just shines.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@coreyartus @ThisKateCreates @inkandspatter @Kat thank you so much for the input. I really appreciate it. I’ll give a night time setting a try and something more blue.

Hi everyone! I’ve been tinkering around with my color comps, adjusting their hues, saturation, brightness and what not and I think I’ve made my decision. Of the four color comps I have below, i really really like the green one at the bottom. For me it really just gives the atmosphere a chilling, scary, and unnerving feeling. It gives me a horror movie feel which is kinda what I wanted for this piece. What do you guys think?
