5th piece


I'm not done with this piece...It's my fifth and the happily ever after ending.  What do you think I should add?  I definitely need to finish their faces.

4th piece

This is my fourth piece, where Tam Lion is pulled off the horse by Janet.  Any thoughts?  I might make the background more dramatic with a darker color, like purple.  Should I add some pen and ink in the background, too?

5th + 6th pieces



Here are Leo and Virgo. I've got a few issues with them, but they turned out pretty good.
Let me know if I should fix anything.

Tess 4th piece


This is Cancer... I darkened the photo a bit because I really wanted to capture the whole
"night" quality. Unfortunately, cropping tool is on the fritz so I had to do a close-up.

This is my next piece: Frustration. My concerns with it are that she looks a bit like she is dancing and the emotion gets a little lost. Tell me if the emotion is truly coming through and if not what can I do to make that better?

This is Lucy.
She is very calm, thoughtful and peaceful. She is individual and confidence.
I tried to convey these personalities through using differnt colors. 
Medium colored brown, purple and blue represent her calmness. The surrounding yellow represent her individuality. Hope it does. Oh and what a surprise, it matches up with her working place, Spendoras. 
I think the angle and face emotion show the confidence and ambition of Lucy. 

I am still not quite pleased with what I have done so far. I feel like something is missing. Her left eye didn't come out well so I am going to work on it. I kinda messed up using 2 different paints. Tempera and Acrylic. This made the painting to look bit unnatural.

Overall, the painting came out as i expected, so its good. But I def need some feedbacks in order to make Lucy happy.   

Solar System stamp


I liked the big version of this, but it didn't photograph very well...
this is chris as a giraffe. it isn't cropped great and i will end up doing a new photo in the end but any suggestions?

This is my 3rd piece, Gemini. The scene is supposed to be
very bright and sunny, so I purposely made it a little whiter than normal.
Also, the black triangle in the corner is where the paper folded down;
it is not part of the piece.


This is my finished Aries piece. 
The photo turned out a little bleached,
for which I apologize. 

Seal

this is my friends Katie as a seal! any suggestion. i like the mask but on both this and the cheetah the skin tone seems funny
this is morgan as a cheetah! :) any suggestions?
