My road race wips ^_^

Yes, it's not a "rabbit road race" idea, but I think your daughter just gave you gold for a portfolio piece.
I love the idea of "carrot-sel" with carrots replacing the horses. It would be even funnier if a young rabbit couldn't resist taking a bite out of one of the carrots.
-
@Asyas_illos You’ve got the medium and huge components of the composition, but I think you could use more small objects; particularly on the cloud the frog is sitting on. Maybe little flags sticking up or something?
Really loving this piece, the colors are gorgeous and I love the brushwork style especially on the edges. What brush/ brushes do you use?
-
@Griffin thanks griffin I generally use only three brushes in procreate one a gouache brush two a rake, and three 6b pencil for details. Plus a couple watercolor things for sparkles and finishing touches.
-
@Griffin i think those are in procreate though I’ve downloaded a few brush packs that they might have apart of… I can’t recall.
-
@Asyas_illos I love your saturated colors!
Re: your Redwood composition, it certainly feels like a magical place, and it makes sense for a tall tree to take up a lot of vertical space on the page- but I feel like the characters are really crammed into the bottom with other similarly sized background details, and having a hard time competing with the high contrast tree above.
How about a "worm" point of view? That would emphasize the height/grandeur of the tree while providing more real estate for your characters. You mentioned that that the inspiration was an old stump, but this is fiction- you could make a full tree that goes on and on, with no end in sight!
Lots of great work so far. Your graveyard environment is awesome!

Working on another concept. I wanted to do a spot illustration since I’ve been lacking those…
-
Haha these faces were too fun
-
@Asyas_illos Have you seen the Making of Frozen 2 doc on Disney+ yet? This reminds me of the girl animating the group/school/pod/dunno of reindeer running and singing.
-
@KevinTreaccar no I’ll check it out though
-
@KevinTreaccar but they remind me of Olaf with their teeth lol
-
@Asyas_illos The whole series is great, but her breaking down how she did that was hilarious and one of the biggest highlights.
-
@Asyas_illos Ok, this one is BRILLIANT!!! I think you've struck gold, haha.
-
@Meekipink haha thanks
-
Ok update what do you guys think? Does everybody look proportional, for the most part? Can you tell the predator is a fox? Composition? I’m still going to adjust a few things like light and shadow. But this pretty much done.
-
@Asyas_illos Brilliant concept! Honestly it is a bit difficult for me to tell that it is a fox trying to pass off as rabbit.
I didn't realize it was sticking its tongue out in a "yummy buffet ahead" kind of way because I spent a few seconds trying to guess what it is before realizing it was a tongue.
Maybe a couple of teeth would give a stronger hint?Also is the number 4 deliberately mirror imaged? It's the first thing that struck me lol. Great job with the rabbits' expressions

@ArtMelC thanks for the feedback! I’ll see what I can do about making him more readable as a fox. My daughter said he looked like a bear… and yes I made the 4 backwards on purpose to show that he doesn’t really know what’s going on, he’s just trying to get a bite to eat, I contemplated making it a letter lol.

@Rebecca-Jensen thanks for the feedback that would’ve been a great pov! Perhaps on another I’ve already submitted this one I know it’s not the best of my entries and that’s ok. Maybe I can rework it for the old portfolio, huh?
