Here's my piece for Will!

Hi! This is my first time trying out one of the monthly prompt. I've been looking at this board for a while and thought I'd like to join in! I love seeing all the sketches and revisions and seeing how the final pieces turn out.

In my image, I want to show a yellow bird with a broken wing, "meeting" the other main character, a snapping turtle. The bird is hiding for cover, believing that it is going to end up as a snack for this gigantic turtle. They end up going on an adventure later.

I'm wondering if anyone has advice on how to make this composition better? Should I adjust the angle? Maybe have the turtle's mouth even closer? The plant in the foreground is a cattail that the turtle stepped on. Is it distracting?

I'll work in watercolour/gouache and then edit in photoshop for the final image.

Any comments would be awesome!

Thanks!

The moment before... you meet friend or foe.

So cool to see your progressions with this piece. My eye is really drawn to the character on the diving board. Not an easy viewpoint to create.

I'm really enjoying this image! What if you have the fox a little closer or have the spear just right about to touch the mice?

Love the look of delight on the dog's face in 14. I also love 9. Can't wait to see what you do.

I like #1 and #2! I like how you have little pieces of the toy trailing behind the baby. I'm liking #7 too!

@burvantill Thanks for the suggestion!

@lovetherobot Thank you very much!

@JerrySketchyArt Thanks for the suggestion! I'm going to add some plants into the foreground. Hopefully that will add some depth.
