Genetic Tinkering - (finished)

[Beastie]

So, yeah, I think this is finished - but I haven't sent it to the agent yet - so can still make changes if anyone sees anything glaringly wrong.....

I really like the way this turned out!

Curious about one choice you made though. Why is there a red outline around the bodies, but the animal heads are black? Makes the heads look pasted on a bit.

Wow this turned out really well man. Great work!

The only thing I can find that's glaringly wrong is that there's too much awesomeness going on. I'm looking forward to watching you out-do yourself, yet again. Great work!

I always outline the paint colour with a pencil which helps to bring out the tones nicely. The elephant's head was outlined in grey, the giraffe's head in light brown etc. The bodies, all being human and therefore 'flesh' coloured were all outlined in a salmon pink kind of colour.

However, when I overlaid those figures with a layer of green, and then the layer of bubbles, the subtleties of each outline was lost a bit - and ended up looking either 'black' or 'red'.

I tried lots of tweaks and tricks to avoid that -- but couldn't work out a way of doing it successfully......

Wow, nice job! this might be my new favorite work of yours.

Is this an editorial piece or just for fun?

Has someone been in those tubes painting their nails black?

Totally love it. love their gently sleeping eyes. Even the nice touch of the scientist being ginger, like he's trying to make more freaks like himself. haha

The only thing wrong I see is that all of those animals have really human looking bodies. Did you do any research? Sometimes I find that visual reference helps when drawing animals because their bodies look different than ours. Get what I mean? I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I think you really dropped the ball on this one. It just comes off as lazy.

Do some ****ing research next time.
