@Braden-Hallett brilliant

[braden H]

@chrisaakins Thanks, man I was a substitute teacher for a couple years, actually.

I'm not gonna get into the exact reasons why I quit, but with the way the BC education system is going I'm glad I got out when I did, lol

BUT ANYHOO I'm happy doin' this thing for a while

@Braden-Hallett that’s amazing Braden

[Amanda Jean]

LOVING THIS! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth:
There's so much happening and it all fits so well.

[braden H]

@peteolczyk @Amanda-Jean thanks guys

[braden H]

Hooray for colour vomit

Rendering is about half done or so. Gonna work a bit more today and try and finish it off tomorrow.

So many skin tones...

[peteolczyk]

@Braden-Hallett that is so good Braden. I really like the peculiar shapes of the shark and the monkey. I could look at that picture for ages there’s so much happening.

[chrisaakins]

@Braden-Hallett I only see one serious flaw: None of the kids have cell phones recording this event. Although if they did have cell phones, none of them would notice it.

[Chip Valecek]

@chrisaakins That would have been a great gag to have one kid on his cell phone completely unaware of what was happening.

[braden H]

@chrisaakins I a bygone era, before the cellphone The golden age of school bus shenanigans.

@Chip-Valecek Damn I wish I'd thought of that :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: Ah well. Too late now

[braden H]

Okeedokee! Time to put it away for a few hours

@Braden-Hallett Looking good.

A couple of minor thoughts... not sure how right they are.

1. Driver's nose seems too red to me. Almost distracting.

2. I am not digging the grass color. Not sure what to do about it, but it is throwing me off of the whole picture.

I do love the piece though, you make the hard look easy... you are killing it as usual.

[peteolczyk]

I’m really enjoying this piece Braden. Just a thought with the grass, the higher saturation to the left seems to be taking my eye off the page. (The saturation could just be my device settings )

[ArtofAleksey]

My eyes are drawn to the right side of the piece because of the bright yellow and green and the woman on the left could use either better contrast or a thicker outline because she blends in with all the other stuff.
