IF : VOICES



This is another quick post and probably the last one until the New Year. There's just too much going on right now.  I am having a great time though, enjoying my kids, my family and my friends. This is most definitely my favorite time of year. I wish you all Happy Holidays!

I only wish I had more time to visit all my favorite blogs. I am way behind!

I did get a chance to rework the composition of my last IF entry, since I wasn't to thrilled with it. I changed the big bird on the foreground to the dancing girl, and I think she is much more interesting to look at than the bird. I also moved and flipped the pets (thanks to Photoshop) to make the negative space more dynamic, and added some props to the kids. Oh, and the Dad magically aged a few years. He looks more like grandpa, which is fine. I can see grandparents in this type of predicament as well. Oh, and I figured with all the commotion, one could almost hear the voices of the children! There! That's how I link it to this week's IF. I do plan on painting this one, but after the New Year!

I like this version best, too. It will be great when you've added color! I have put a post about winning your give-away on my blog at http://kspoeringtapestries.blogspot.com/. Have a great holiday!

Merry Christmas Edrian! Great illo. Like the changes very much and it works very well for voices! Looks like there are quite a lot of LOUD voices going on in this picture!! he-he.
Have a wonderful week off with your kids and family. See you on the web!

PS. My friend with the sitter website that I designed may be contacting you regarding that service in your location. Hope that's OK.

Hahahaha! Oh, this is wonderful! Not only is the dancer in the foreground great to look at, she certainly gives you the impression that some great fun is being had by all, not just mischief. And I had to chuckle at the addition of a helmet on the little boy. Sorry about the guy's hair. :D

Have a very Merry, Merry Christmas!

You did a great job with this. (I didn't even recognize it as a reworked drawing when I first glanced at it.) Glad that you were able to use the feedback you got.
