@Braden-Hallett both are looking good... can't wait to see the full inks. I like the value structure in the wire one thumbnail better. But I am not sure if you have built the value structure out as much for the other one.

@TwiggyT I don't know how I know how to run on two legs but it's so much fuuuuuuun!

[braden H]

@theprairiefox Thanks! The value structure on the one with the crazy cabling is definitely better thought out. I'm not as worried about the first one since it's super simple. Characters on a simple background. I was more concerned with silhouette with that one

@Braden-Hallett Oh no! I named my dog Fluffy, too. Great minds I guess.

I'm actually quite a fan of your first concept and seeing the clean sketch I feel like it tells a clearer story.

@Braden-Hallett they're both looking great!! But I have to ask on the first one, is that the top of Billy's head in the grave next to the bloody machete?? If so that is hilariously dark!

I could see a ton of blood and gore in that

Maybe just a LITTLE blood and gore

[braden H]

@chrisaakins Fluffy is just the perfect name

[braden H]

@DarleneAnico I think I'm gonna explore both options since I don't have to colour them

[braden H]

[braden H]

@StudioLooong and yet so happy

[Coley]

@Braden-Hallett lol!

BTW, for a dark illustration, this is still pretty cute!!!!

@Braden-Hallett you are so right, all happy puppy pictures are fun to look at. haha, these two... their expressions are hilarious, alos love the angle you are using in the image. Great job.

One thing bugs me a bit with the design is Penny and the neighbor kid with puppy head are almost the same in size. Is there a better solution for this somehow?
