@Naroth-Kean that is much better with the eyes open! You know which one I vote for, ha-ha!!
-
@Kevin-Longueil Thanks a lot Kevin. That is very a helpful point on the pup gesture and yes i have been struggling with his gesture till now. I'll do what you have recommended, and I have a good feeling that it will help to solve this problem! Thanks again.
@Thrace-Shirley-Mears haha I know you like the 1st one
-
I hope this looks better!
-
Awesome
Btw, those things in between Buddy and Olly are jellyfish right? -
Shinji has brought up an excellent point.. i was wondering what the footprints between the two characters meant - but thought it must be integral to the story....it seems like that is what they are both looking at also - this is on purpose i'm sure...but if not would it be worth looking at to have them looking at each other? - in the image you included where the pup is on the shore and the older one is in the water it looks like the pup is looking at the larger character and that the bigger one is looking up (not at the pup) as though he is enjoying a memory or pointing at the sky...am i reading it right?
-
@Naroth-Kean this one is so much better since the eyes are open and you added the ripples in the water behind the puppy, I can now tell that the puppy is swimming above the water and not underwater as the first image made me feel.
-
Amazing work Naroth! I love your animals so much hehe. I thought the pup was diving in? There is such a great feeling about this one, I just adore it!
-
All super great work here. One thing if I may suggest...I loved the squinting eyes of the smaller character ion the original post. That gave such a "happy and fun" emotion to him and the image itself. Anyway, for what its worth. Great stuff overall and very traditional.
-
@shinjifujioka @Kevin-Longueil yes they are jellyfish, I guess I need to make the tentacles a bit longer. I tend to draw short round things haha.
@Thrace-Shirley-Mears Thanks Thrace.
@Lynn-Larson Oh thank you! they are my two favorite animals in the world! I consider otters as waterdog XD.
@johntatulliart Thanks for the comment, you and I actually think alike on those eyes squinting however I was told that it kind of looks like it's drowning with his eyes close. Hmm... I will see if I can do something about it! Thanks again. -
@Naroth-Kean What if you kept the dog's eyes open and put the grinning closed eyes on the otter? Just a thought. The dog doesn't look like it drowning anymore since I can see that he is above water now, haha!
-
This is a really cute design, great character! I was under the impression that they are both under water not above the water. I think you can maybe omit the jelly fish and let the focus be on the two main characters, unless there is a specific reason for them to be on the cover and if there is maybe not place them directing between the main two. Love the colors and the overall feel of this piece!! Nicely done.
-
Great!, love the design, texture and colors as well! certainly love the cuteness! lovely storytelling!
-
Wonderful work! I love the hues you're using!
-
This is lovely @Naroth-Kean, I love the sploosh and the way you've done the water...looks really fresh and inviting to swim in!
-
Thank you so much everyone! really appreciate all the comment tips and help!
@Thrace-Shirley-Mears, that is a good idea! Thank you
@Charlie-Eve-Ryan, I think you are right, those jellyfish are just part of the interesting decorative stuffs haha. I should really focus on the two main characters. Thank you!
@Leontine Thank you for your kind words!
@bharris Thank you so much!
@Dulice I love water scene and thank you!
