WIP: The Christmas Misfit
-
Hi everyone! This is my very first post. I actually joined SVS a couple years ago and I am just now getting around to posting to the forum. I will do my introduction soon.
In the meantime...
I would like some help with a piece I am currently working on. It's a Christmas piece call, "The Christmas Misfit". I have just finished a refined sketch and I'm about to make a final color rendering. Please tell me what you all think and what changes I make before going to a final color rendering.
Refined Drawing. I added some toys from the initial sketch.
Initial sketch

@jodyeklund I think the composition is really working! The only thing I can comment on right now is the giraffe. Consider tilting the giraffe's neck to the right some. It's almost perfectly upright and a diagonal would be more interesting, break that feeling empty space between it and Santa, and lead us in to the focal point a little and add to the stuffed animal-ness of it.

@teju-abiola I don't think that is Santa, it is the misfit

I had to look at it twice to notice that it wasn't santa. You might want to do something to show he is an elf. Maybe add a hat or make the ear bigger. Maybe different shoes to match the other elves shoes?
I also think once you color it, it will become clear he is the misfit as long as he is not wearing red and white.

Finished the rendering of the Christmas Misfit.
