      @kristin-wauson I think it looks great! Love the texture you have going on. My only suggestion, and it may be hard at this point, but the cats head looks like its looking past the mouse. If you could just tweak the head a little to turn it.

        Absolutely gorgeous! I love your color pallet and the details on the beanstalk.

        The only thing that stuck out - and it's really just a personal opinion bit - is that the facial expression on the mouse changed from rough to finished. He seems a bit more unimpressed now, vs. confused and a little surprised in the first one. I liked that look of "Why are you freaking out?" In the first picture.

        But again, that is entirely a personal opinion bit! The pic is great and I really love this finished(?) product 😃

          @chip-valecek hmm I think you’re right. I’ll see what I can do.

            @Aaron-Pierce Thank you! And on the expression, I think it’s because I gave him eyelids ... I thought it gave him more of a Henry the VIII smug expression, but I think you’re right. The original is better. I took them out. What do you think?

            @Chip-Valecek I shifted his eyeballs to see if I could avoid redoing his entire head. Do you think it works now?

                    @kristin-wauson I love it! It has a really great feel, the mouse is fantastic. For me the bottom left corner is very dark. The strong contrast makes the focal point pop, but then pulls my eye down.

                        @inkandspatter thank you! I’m calling it done for now because I have other things I have to work on, but I will keep this in mind and maybe revise it a bit later. I appreciate your comments!
