The Moment Before WIP

braden H

So many choices!

I really like the final thumbnail with the bear (most likely because of the extreme angle as you said). I almost want to see a hint at what the 'moment after' could be (like the bear being assaulted is particularly... grizzled and picking its teeth with a spear eerily similar to the leaping man's)

Lookin' forward to seeing which one you pick

I like the top one and also the one of them coming from the top looking down at the cake. "Taking candy from a lady" made me lol
This looks fun!

I like the one were the kids are under the table with the cake or were the mom is coming through the door. To me those best represent the moment before.

I like the one with the kids under the table and the one looking down on the cake, to me they both tell a story that I want to know more of

@hannahmccaffery hi! You mean that 3rd to the last one?

@nyrrylcadiz Yes, thats the one! love the angle!

Nyrryl Cadiz

@hannahmccaffery yeah, i definitely see potential in that one too. ️ I even made a more detailed sketch of it.

However, like I said, it feels more of “during” the moment rather than “before”. If I have time I am planning to go back to it though.

@nyrrylcadiz I think it works for 'the moment before' but i know what you mean and it would be a great one to come back to if you decide to do something else for this month

@hannahmccaffery definitely, i can even make a 2 piece series of sorts of this same woman and these sugar-crazy kids, tormenting her.

@nyrrylcadiz Yeah that would be amazing! I definitely would love to see more of this story

@nyrrylcadiz Oooh, I love this latest sketch with the kids seconds before reaching the cake. It's so dynamic and the perspective is super fun. You can make this a "moment before" piece if you had the kids not in leap mode but crouching like little tigers on surfaces above the table (maybe on fridges and sacks of flour or sugar, or just shelves high up. And you can have the baker looking like she's unaware, maybe hunched over in the process of decorating the cake.
