I changed up the positioning of the fishies and toy mice, as well as made the background softer (easier on the eye) and added a border around the perimeter. I also changed the font face.

 A lot of changes to this one this time. Everyone but the poor dogs had major work done, and I added Mattie's beard and mustache because he totally looked like a girl without them. Next time I work this one over I'll work on the dogs. I know, I started this when, back in July of 2011 I think? If I had stuck with the original rules, I would have been done by August, easily. But instead I opted to work on them in ten minute batches, one day at a time, until I decided they were right. Obviously that could take months, right? I didn’t really think of that at the time. Anyway, yesterday I started working on them again, breaking them down on the site into completed and not completed. A few of them that I had designated as unfinished actually seemed finished after not looking at them once for 6+ months. I’ve managed to finish a few of the others, make some changes to a few more, and there’s some I haven’t touched yet. But at this point about 50% are deemed finished. Check them out. Suggestions are always welcome for those in progress- sometimes I get stuck and need an outside nudge to get going again.  Taking a cue from the favorite candy drawing, I decided simplicity was best. I decided to go so simple as to make the model into a maniquin rather than attempt a full-fledged person in disguise. I do miss the mustache though.  After taking a long break form this, I realized I was going about this one all wrong. Simple was indeed better, and I removed everything but the bare bones. I like it.  I added depth to the chest this time around, and adjusted the hooves a bit. I also made the face longer and not as wide, added detail to the ears to make them less two-dimensional, and moved the eyes outward on the skull to a more natural position. The body proportions are definitely more correct now, but the issue of re-drawing the head is still present.  This one was a tough one, but after letting it sit for a while and not thinking about it, I actually kind of like it, though it is making me crave cake.
 Cinderella, though I'm hoping the fireplace and the pumpkin gave it away. There's still some areas that need finishing, but all in all I'm pretty happy with it as it is, so I'm pronouncing it finished.  This one I ultimately decided to kep as simple as possible. No fussy effects or details, just plain simple text and plain simple lines.
This is my third revision for my self-portrait. I removed some small details, like shadows, and I also fixed my neck so it’s not so twiggy and changed the text around a bit. The image has been cropped down to just a half-body shot, with the text surrounded in the frame. I played around with the hair a bit too, but I’m still not sure I like where this is going. |
