OH I like that you can post characters here, very good.

Some lazily put-together thing, half colored pencil and half collage. Critter concept based on a Surinam toad, but with seeds growing in its back instead of its own horrible demon spawn.

Might do something with this character someday, but not sure where to put it right now. Maybe in George and Maude's story. But a friend of mine said it looked part hedgehog so of course I had to call it a hedgefrog.

    Really love how you got those blue plants to come out so smooth. Traditional media is beautiful.

      AH this is actually part collage! The flowers aren't drawn by me, they're actually free stock that I cut out and added in. (Messed with the colors/colored over them to match the rest.) Thanks though, I'm glad they look integrated enough for that effect, ha ha, that can be tricky with collage.

        Ah, gotcha. You've gotta press hard on your colored pencils to get that same effect. But yes, you did a beautiful job with integrating them into the piece. Lovely job on blending the colors, btw.

          Oh heck yeah, for awhile I was working with color pencils to get that smooth effect and it killed my wrist, ahhh. Thanks so much!

            You're welcome! And as I see it, letting the paper show up through the colored pencils gives a neat effect to your colors. Especially nice paper like the stuff you used here. ^^
