[Georgios Christopoulos]

@Braden-Hallett That poor lady sure got older!!!Love Sammy!

[braden H]

@Georgios-Christopoulos Thanks man It's allllll comin' together!

[braden H]

Threw on a levels layer and brightened things up a tad.

I forgot his tail/butt bow. It's gotta be tough to have fitted clothing when you've got a tail!

[braden H]

gussied up the sketches

@Braden-Hallett Your work is so goood! Not sure if you are looking for feedback or not? for me your first version of the older lady was perfection...her expression and form seemed really perfect to me...especially her expression. New one is great too of course - just sharing the thought - feel free to ignore.

I've been thinking the EXACT SAME THING! Sometimes I get it perfect in the study stage with a few nice little blobby shapes and I lose it once I start to sharpen things up with line.

She needs a makeover for sure. Thanks for the feedback. I am ALWAYS looking for feedback

Ugh the struggle is real. I feel like that's one of my major frustrations right now. Trying to bring back the organic quality of
the blobby/sketchy/scribbles once you begin finishing has been a real bear to tackle on the regular.

How big are you working @Braden-Hallett ? Are the judges getting lenient on the square image shape requirement?

I'm working on an 8x10. I think the only requirement (other than the poses) is that the file be under 500KB. I don't remember anything about requiring a square aspect ratio

[braden H]

Slooooooowly gettin' there. I'm gonna try and get it finished today. This has turned into a slowvember kinda thing!

[HeatherBouteneff]

Love this! Trying to decide what I want more, strudel or a battle llama!!

[K.Flagg]

This is really awesome. I wasn’t sure about how much storytelling you could do without it really taking away from the character design but you did it so well. Nice work!

Thanks! I think the rest of the random doodles fade back nicely

[braden H]

I'm gonna put it away for a bit now!

[ValD]

just wow. It looks like Sammy is so ready for the adventure ! When's the book?!

[erinrew]

@Braden-Hallett This is amazing!

[APHOTICMOTH]

Copy pasted the before and after into PS, that way I could really see all the little changes. Every change added so much more depth. Even adding more love the distant background. I really like the addition of the little balls/tassels on the old ladies shawl.
