Artist's Comments

This is actually one of the first times where I started with the background. Which according to every art book I have read is what I am supposed to do, but the characters are so much more fun for me. But I am happy with how it turned out. By starting with the BG first I force myself to get the biggest and in my case hardest part of the drawing out of the way, so I do not slack after spending hours coloring the characters. Good advice it turns out. I will be following it from now on (maybe).

EDIT (8/17/05): Coming along now. But still need to add details, finish up a few bits and try to meld all the elements together, before I can call it completely done.

Final edit (?): Followed the advice of and . Thanks guys ^_^. I wouldn't mind CC at this stage, but I think it can be called done now. Darkened the background and added more color variety. Completely removed the planet and added a mind-numbing aurora borealis, which in the end, I am glad I included it. The girl looked nervous without something to look at.

Awesome! The bg look great.. But you could try making the planet more indefinate, maybe ad a cloud on it or something. Because the rest of teh sky looks stormy and, well, usually it would be stormy infront of the planet too...

This is going to look awesome, I remember the first. With the background it is already very striking.

Yeah the planet does look alittle out of place, but over all it's looking really neat so far. I love the nice flowing strokes with all the snow and such. Can't wait to see it finished =)

I love it. Nothing to say except as you finalize it, make sure the snow creature doesn't fade too much into the background.This is wonderful.

That is my big thing actually. I am not quite sure where to put the contrast in. I will probably fade (or darken) the background and make the fur more defined. Or add something to cast a shadow, but I rather like the composition now so if I can't think of something good, or I'll have to tinker with the background.
