@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.

@peteolczyk @Amanda-Jean thanks guys

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.

@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

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.

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

@theprairiefox I'm definitely gonna play with the grass colour. It's very neon

@peteolczyk It is most certainly not your device settings. That grass is positively glowing :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: Definitely gonna knock it back a bit.

@Aleksey Iiiiiiiinteresting! I think I'll knock the sign back (and I'm gonna fade the background characters a little as well). I'll do what i can to make her dress a bit brighter, too.

Thanks everyone

peteolczyk

@Aleksey that’s interesting

braden H

Made some changes! Gonna give it a few more hours and then come back to it before handing it in.

Thanks everyone for the feedback
