June Contest - Albert the Fennec Complete (Critiques Welcome)
-
Super cute design!! I really love the way you painted him. The texture and the brush work adds a lot to his personality.

I'm thinking to move the character more towards a regular fox than a fennec as I think the change in ear color will give it a bit more color variety. Also I made the tie a bit longer and the head slightly bigger, but im on the fence about the tie.
What do you think?
Black or without?
Long or short tie?
-
Love the glowing ears! I like the colour change on the ears and the bigger head but I think I prefer the shorter tie...
-
@Gary-Wilkinson I think longer tie works a little bit better as it emphasises the character's small size. You've done a really nice job of pushing the cute proportions, I really love everything about this character design !
-
I like the darker colours but prefer the shorter tie. It’s framed nicely in his belly. It all gets a bit busy where it ends when it is longer.

Speaking for all of us who had to wear a tie for school—like, a real tie, not a clip on one, ALL the cool (rebellious) kids wore their tie as short as they could get away with. Somewhere, wrapped around their bodies, like a fabric snake, the rest of the tie was hidden.
I was not a cool or rebellious kid. I was a rule follower. My tie was regulation length.
I LOVE this character.
-
Darker colour and shorter tie gets my vote. Maybe even shorter for the tie? I agree with @janette about the rebelliousness
Looking really good! -
I vote for darker ears and shorter tie as well. Wonderful character.
-
@Rachel-Horne @brettb_draws @lizardillo @ruth @demotlj Great feedback on the tie and the black areas. I think a mixture of both wins the day.
@Janette I say the same thing as an adult!
Well i'm not going to have it done for the contest, but it's been great practice nonetheless and i'll try finish off the other poses to add to my portfolio.
-
You've put so much work into him, he's going to be a wonderful portfolio piece. Please keep us updated if you carry on, I would love to see him all finished.
-
@Gary-Wilkinson Oh that's a shame! Definitely one of my favourites!
-
@Gary-Wilkinson Really great design! I like the stand out features and the colors you chose.
I also didn't get to finish my design, but I plan on finishing it up to use as a portfolio piece. -
Still working on finishing off Albert here and there....
-
@Gary-Wilkinson he’s looking amazing
-
@Gary-Wilkinson he’s such a cutie! And I love how you work with light and color! Thanks for sharing.
-
Finally managed to finish Albert. He became a fox/ fennec hybrid in the end. Didn't manage to get it in for the contest, but it's been a fun side project and hopefully a good one for the portfolio
-
@Gary-Wilkinson This is amazing !! There's so much character in his expression and movements and the shape language is really nice. You've rendered it beautifully as well. I wish I was better with colour and light. If I was, this is definitely the sort of thing that I would have loved to work on. It's a shame you couldn't get it completed in time, this could've won for sure.

@Gary-Wilkinson Those ears! So expressive in shape! And the translucent pink at the base of the ear
-
My absolute favourite!
