      @Dulcie Thank you Dulcie! Yes, I tend to do the ears too low and distinctly elfin - my thesis project had half a dozen elf characters and I drew them over and over again for two years...it will take a while to get rid of that habit! Thanks for pointing it out, I will check that.

        I can imagine that if you drew elves for two years solid, the habits made while drawing them would get kinda engrained! Looking forward to the next instalment ๐Ÿ™‚

            It is a great illustration! I love the expressions on all the characters. Even the fish in the bowl looks happy and eager to see the vet! My only critique is the first cat. His shape is more simple/stylized than the other animals, especially when compared to the other cats. Alone, it is an awesome shape. But when compared to the other animals, it seems out of place. This illustration really is wonderful!

              Design is awesome, characters are great. One small change I might make is the turtle in the bottom right seems a bit heavy, kinda stops the flow from that side... maybe a little more white space before you get to him...

                That is such a great drawing! Full of fun characters and details, I'm sure it will delight pet owners and the people working there. I look forward to seeing it coloredshaded, whichever version they decide on.

                  I am sorry I am not contributing much these days. Things are sort of exploding and I am swamped.
                  I have finished and delivered this meanwhile, so for the curious, here is the final. It is a highly compressed version, so most of the details are lost. If you want to see all the 5 million fur hairs that I had to paint, there are some details on my website.

                  As per last discussion, they plan to plot it and mount it under plexiglas - hope they send some pictures when they are done!

                              Your painting skills are Crazy good! I I was looking at the sketch for so long but then I scrolled down and saw the colors! So well done!

                                @orokotanman @evilrobot @Rich-Green @lmrush @Charlie-Eve-Ryan @Kevin-Longueil Thank you so much for your kind words!!! I hated it towards the end, so it is good to get some perspective ๐Ÿ™‚
                                Just re-watched one of Lee Whiteยดs videos when he says "the size of the final image may affect your process, so ask the client about it" - and I thought how true that is!
                                In case you get asked to do images for a billboard, calculate at least 3 times the time that a standard size would take (I am talking for digital - traditional is a different story altogether) and make sure your computer can handle the file size. My first billboard two years ago was the reason I ended up buying a new computer....

                                And thinking of big images, here is one of my favorite artists doing something amazing:

                                Android Jones Planetarium

                                He is a crazy guy doing HUGE art - normally live - all over the world. And also some pretty amazing "normal" art. His videos also introduced me to psy-trance (one of my favorite types of music while I am painting).
