3rd Thursday Naughty Children FINAL

[bharris]

I'm way too behind, but I thought I'd share this concept Instead of reindeer Santa used naughty children! I know it's against child labor laws, but it'd be better than coal!

Very rough!

[Chip Valecek]

I like the idea, I actually thought of doing naughty kids as well.

[Rob Smith]

@bharris I think you have a funny idea there!

[Leontine]

@bharris COOOOL! I like this idea! hopefully it will work, cause they all might wanna go their own way! LOL. The variety of characters are very nice!

[bharris]

I'm re-working the composition to give it better emphasis and overlapping. This one feels too flat when I looked at it this morning.

[MOO]

Great idea and love the preliminary sketch idea!

[Naroth Kean]

haha, you know what I like the idea. Naughty or bullies need to get to work XD. I like the composition and each of their interaction with the story.

[smoke]

concept is already great! cant wait to see the finished piece!!

[bharris]

Here is a different concept, doesn't feel as flat to me, but my husband liked the first better. What do you guys think?

[Chip Valecek]

I prefer the second one. Looks like the children are more staggered. Some in the foreground, some in the mid and some in back. Hence not the flat of all in a line. Is the one child in back of Santa sticking is tongue out? If so I like it.

[Lee White]

Second one for sure! Really nice!

[Thrace]

@bharris The second one definitely!! What a wonderful image, I can't wait to see it finished!!

[bharris]

Thanks everyone!

[Naroth Kean]

like the second one for the obvious reason :D. Good job!

[bharris]

Still behind, but the line work is done!

[Thrace]

@bharris So nice!! Get painting!!

[Chip Valecek]

Looks great! Can't wait to see it painted.

[Dulcie]

@bharris Oh, this is so beautifully drawn and I'm sure it is going to be amazing!! Great work! I am really looking forward to seeing the coloured version now.

The one thing I think...maybe it's too late to change....but I would just love to see some of those kids with little reindeer antler headbands! It would be so cute and IMO would help the storytelling part, that the kids are meant to be reindeer (and not just kids messing around in the snow).

Very lively image!

Very nice line work. Mine is never this clean.
