little mouse in the wedding band - which do you prefer?

Coley

I did some rim lighting etc and did a fair amount of rendering to the little mousie's face as the lines were a bit harsh I thought. I wanted to see things a little more rendered. wondering people;s thoughts? Do you like it better with the lines or more rendered? I wonder if I need a few harder lines/pieces of fur if it has gotten too soft?

Coley

oh I'm realizing I gave him a nose more like a dog than a mouse lol. back to reference!

@burvantill thanks

Coley

More like a mouse nose but not sure I'm quite there yet. When to stop rendering, that is the question LoL

i like the darkes one, but the colors seem a bit saturated in it. So maybe bring saturation down a bit, and then perhaps a a glimmer highlight around the front edge of the ring?

@Coley Are you entering this in the contest? You should -- it's such a peaceful beautiful painting.

Coley

@demotlj I think I will. I'm stalling because I may nitpick it a little more lol. Or not. Will see! I think perhaps I just have trouble entering something way before deadline as I typically enter at the last moment LoL!
Thanks for the kind comment️
