@Damien-Rambacher
Thanks! Yeah, I will revisit the batteries as I paint it... I'm like you... I'd rather not have the word but I was playing it safe. lol.

@Kris-Knight you could always do something like AAA or 9V instead of batteries.

@Chip-Valecek
Very true... I will try that and take a look

Nice story, so cute!!

[Nancy Gormezano]

Gorgeously rendered! I think it's a little heavy on the backlighting (rim lighting) for my taste. Looks too outlined. Perhaps soften/blur the white edging a bit?

Beautiful & cute!

[Dulcie]

I really like the way you've done the lighting with the fairy lights, and the reflected light on the ball...really nicely done and I think this whole piece is so much fun! Love the rhyme too, brings the story together. Great work!

@Nancy-Gormezano Thanks Nancy... Yeah, I may have went a bit too heavy on the rim lighting... It was tricky trying to get the contrast with the cow.... But I'm going to play around with toning it down a bit. Thanks for the critique

@Naroth-Kean Thanks

[kai satoshi]

@Damien-Rambacher Thanks! Yes, I darkened it a bit to try to bring more contrast but I think you are right, it looked a bit better with the lighter background. I will work on that. Thanks for the critique.

@Dulcie
I appreciate the compliment. Thank you!

[Art Monkey]

Looks pretty crazy man. I like your expressions on the animals.

[kai satoshi]

@Art-Monkey Thanks! Glad you like it.

So here is another. The changes I made were to lower the brightness of some of the rim lighting on the cow, pig and gerbil. Lightened the background a bit then brightened the overall painting slightly as well as a slight bit more contrast. I'd love to hear anymore thoughts you guys might have for this image. Thanks a bunch
