Val Girl

This is the second pass on the girl art I'm working on.

Here's the first rough for comparison.

You'll notice that I changed it quite a bit.

For the girl I ditched her head band and added a knit hat and scarf that I found on the web. I think it makes her look cuter and more dressed up. It gives her a better head shape as well.

My intention is to make this a February/Valentines image.

The girl is holding a "love" letter that the Postal bird will be delivering for her.

Since I made the letter bigger in the second rough I also decided to make the bird bigger.

Instead of the little chickadee type of bird I'm going with a Blue Bird. He's already dressed in the right color for the job of Postman anyway.

I'll be repositioning the bird so he sits properly on her finger.

I searched the web for dog and cat pics so that I could make the animals more realistic. One of my goals for this year. Less cartoony.

 I will be shrinking the cat so that she's smaller than the dog. The dog may get a little bigger.

I'll experiment with moving the cat more to the right to strengthen the pyramid composition.

If you see anything else to comment on let me know.
