@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

And here is where I am at right now...
Let me know your thoughts to improve... Thanks guys :).

Nice story, so cute!!
-
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!
-
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!
-
love feel of this and that chicken is so adorable haha

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

@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
-
Yes! I like! (the changes are wonderful)
And now we will hear from the Text/Font/Grammar/All animals matter Nazi:
I love your rhyme - but I question capitalizing Reindeer, Gerbil and Chicken (but not pig, cow). Actually none of them should be capitalized unless you are doing a design (or those are their formal names). Then capitalize them all!
I would prefer a handwritten look to the text. But if you use a standard font, perhaps a more flowy, irregular placement, of the words, rather than straight blocky?
Text/fonts are my nemesis. I have a horrible time getting it right in my own stuff, and rarely succeed. So take my critique with a grain of snowflake salt (except for the capitalizing part).
