      Hey all,

      I would love some general feedback on my current work. I'm aiming for a sort of a papercut /textured look; building details with the basic shapes. I feel like I'm on to something with these. Any feedback would be great.

      Thanks,

      Tony.

        @Tony-Barber beautiful! what about having a shadow behind the paper cuts to make it look more like it's done traditional? 😃

          Thank you! I've been thinking about adding more shadows to lift the items off the page 🙂

          Thanks again for the feedback!

            Tony, these are gorgeous! The school bus one is my absolute fave! I think my only feedback would be to incorporate a few curves along with the straight lines. The clouds seem like they could use a few more curves as well as the ghost. But regardless, these are fantastic!

              Kind words, thank you for the feedback! I'll have a play with the sharp shaped lines/edges and find a happy medium.

                    @Annaaronson Thank you! Yes, this is one of my favs; It also includes a bit more than just some character work.

                    Cheers.

                      @Kara_Bazley Thank you so much! I'm going for a colorful paper cutout type style. I was thinking of adding split pins into the images.

                      cheers.

                        @Tony-Barber Your color contrast is a joy and I love the way your edges have a slight clunky scissor cut to them. I agree with aprilshin and think some curves might bring this characteristic even more. Have you tried doing one on paper yet? A quick study of these cut out and layered with card stock might help inform your emulations in some odd unanticipated way. Anyways, have fun! These look like a blast!

                        Happy creating,

                          These are adorable! I really like the cut paper look and the simplicity of them. The only thing I'd say is that the purple monster has a less paper texture than the bus or other pieces. But keep creating pieces like this and you'll do really well!

                            Hey! thanks for the feedback; in response, do mean having some more rounded curves to the clunky scissor look I'm going for?

                            Cheers.

                              The feedback is much appreciated! I think the texture got lost, fighting with the several details of the monster's face.

                              Thank you 🙂

                                @Tony-Barber Yes! I was referring to the clunky cut look. I think it could add some nice variation and make it slightly more realistic in a characterful way that I don't think would detract form the style.

                                Have fun!

                                        @Tony-Barber I love paper cut and paper cut style animations. They are so fun and engaging. As suggested, I think a drop shadow to lift them up and off the page would be really cute. Great work!
