@Elwell: *smacks forehead* I work at my school's library and totally forgot that we had a book on all his movement imagery! Gosh... so should have thought about using that - haha. Here's the badger so far, decided to go with this pose since I like the diagonal look, which kind of matches the point to the deer's tail and plus it seems as though she's startled to have a deer jump over her. However I think her back foot...

Shadows were quite akward and i did my best to correct them

I think this style is perfect. It appeals to me, not because it's anatomically correct, or has nice rendering, but because it's just so damn pretty. Kids think like that. I'm sure the author, and kids all around will love the style. Also, I think the rabbit is the right type of white. Not white, but looks white agaist everything else because it's dark.

There some serious issues with her legs - that's a very uncomfortable pose. I take it she's resting on the back foot and the front leg is forward and bent - is that what you were trying to do? It is quite monochromatic, and warm (in tones), you might want to use cooler colours (blues, cold purples). Smaller picky comment to follow You've drawn the snow blowing from top left to bottom right (left handed eh?) but her hair and arm...

The head is falling out of perspective and you'll need to fix the attachment of it to the back and shoulders. The torso and waist are looking pretty good. I like how you're describing the perspective of the form with her clothing. You're doing this well with the arms too but yes, you need to fix them. The right arm looks almost backwards and the left is very stiff. Also try to give her hands/fingers a more graceful, elegant pose...

Now I have redone the chest, bent his right arm more and made more of the neck visible. I am still working on the general anatomy, like the stomach and his left arm, obviously. I see the problem with the spine pose, and I'll see what I can do to make a better S shape. I am uncertain of how the muscles in the right underarm should be, but I'll look into it. Any help on this is very much appreciated!

Thanks DinoZord. I couldn't find a good reference to get the balance right so that really helped. Here it is after fixing the arm and some more shading. I'm trying to have the light on her almost from above, but I'm feeling that it's not coming through. A little help in that area would be cool. Anything else anyone can find would be appreciated too.

hey yall moved the thread ah i found it =) /hey arsanik i cant get through to your sb mabe its just me cant wait to see the finished works

starting to feel like i understand how to work different brushes together to make some texture. spent about 3 hours on this one. any thoughts on how to improve the water (in the distance) and potentially some improvement for the foreground?

As you can see in my other thread, I've been working on a cover for a CD by WarTex, which will likely be named 'Beware the Ides of March'. Now that the painting is finished and scanned, I'm reworking the details with painter. Here is my progress so far.
