When I showed Jacob (the client) the color and value comp this is what he said:
"Imagine a three year old.
Now imagine that this three year old has just been given a giant robot unicorn that shoots lasers and candy.
I am doing that same happy dance over Sir Tiger.
Take it away Maestro! I am ecstatic about the way it is going!"
;3; That is the nicest thing for any artist to hear, seriously. There is no better way to ensure that I'll do my best and try my hardest.
So much so, that I entirely re-painted the arm on the left because the underdrawing was bad and left the painting looking goofy. And this is re-activating paint so it was no small task! But I'm glad I did it. (Post Secret: I would have done this anyway. But I really wanted to do my best.)
And I just got the best idea for the next painting in this series. (There's three, it's gotta be a series now) "Monocle Jack"—a Kangaroo... with a monocle.

Nifty! What's the size of the painting and how long did it take you?
This is fantastic!
This Jacob sounds like a kid in my picture book writing class. He's trying to switch from animation to illustration right now. Not the same person, is it?
P.S. You are awesome. Please, please become the animals-in-Victorian-clothing lady. I am such a fan.
Beautiful just beautiful, I always did picture a tiger in a suit, like Shere Kann but more gentlemanly
YOU MUST DO ONE OF THESE EVERY DAY. HOLY CRAP. OHMYHOLYCRAP!!!
