Again I go with the subjecting you to this thing.

It may not look like it at first glance, but there's been quite a bit of work since the last WIP of this -- it's mostly really small though. I tinted it just for a change from the black and white.

Usual routine -- indulging your critical eye will make me happy. Anything that seems wrong, don't hesitate to point it out even if you don't know exactly how to fix it. I can usually figure out how to fix things once I see that they're wrong.

I really want this to be as good as possible; I think it will make an excellent key piece for my portfolio push in a few weeks -- I'm trying to finish up a bunch of new pieces as well as touch up old ones to get as broad and appealing a body of work as possible.

Man, they need some kind of huge puppy-dog eyed emote. So I can use it when I say: Please rip my work to shreds!! It really needs to be as strong as possible.

Oh, except ignore the hand of the guy at the lower right; I had fixed the hand and arm and the cards when I did...something... trying to add to a selection and Painter crashed. Of course, that sort of thing only happens when one has neglected one's normally careful regimen of frequent saves... and poof goes almost two hours.

And finally, it's pointless to fave any of these WIPs as once it's done I'll delete them all anyway. I'll leave them up until then though -- it's kind of interesting to see the slow evolution of the picture. Links: WIP 1, WIP 2, WIP 3.

Painter, Wacom. Cover pencil, smooth gouache and various blenders (mostly the round blender brush and the just add water blender)
