      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 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.

                            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 😶

                                      Thank you for the kind comments. Hopefully I can build a house for him for this months contest. I'll try start a little earlier if I can

                                        New to SVS here. Absolutely adorable and well put together character design. Besides, how not to love a character that is named just like me? 😁 Great work 🙂
