Oh the memories that song brings back....

AHH!!! I DON'T WANT THE MEMORIES!!!

I think you've improved quite a bit. I also think this picture better captures the song for me.

Your touch foe details has improved a *lot*, dude

I really like both versions of the picture. The former had a bit of an impressionist feel to it... while this one seems to emphasize Micha exploring his world, and nudging his mother to look what he had discovered.

Very moody. In a good way.

I agree. Both are good pics for different reasons. The composition on the former was more compelling, while the style and detailing on this one is cleaner and clearer.

*compares* Both are really good and yeah, you have improved a lot. I like how the figures are really clear and defined while the scenery is more vague and serves to draw your eye to Shayla and Micha; the focus of the image. However, the disparity between the figures and the scenery doesn't make it seem disjointed because the colors of the background and the figures unify both elements.

Okay, art critic mode off. Seriously, very nice, keep it up. :)

As I have said from day one, you an only get better.. and you have.
So much effort and skill, you bring a wonderful touch to the original.. I love it.

I think she's going to get bugs on her butt with that outfit.

oh dear

well, character detail level has gone up - thats always nice

but i must admit that the coloring on the characters in the older one are... softer - i like that more in 'scenic' pictures.


still, both are very nice

style-wise, aside from the change in coloring and shading style, i'd argue that the older one is more... animal, where as this new one is more human. by this i mean that the features on the new one here appear more human, and less of the animals they're supposed to be anthropomofisized of (is that even a word?)

the first one was really good

the second one is better

honestly both are quite good

Beautiful


Those bluejeans are still super hot

I like your older style better...it has more feeling to it. You have improved, but it just seems like the characters and art style now is completely different, more comic I suppose.

I know I'm a whiny guy but... am I the only one left who liked Shayla better when she had more of a muzzle?

always magnificent

Looks nice you also change your style alot from a few years ago

Your new coloring and attention to details are superior, but as a whole, I prefer the old pic. The boy is Shayla's son, right? In this new version, she looks too young, mid-teen-ish, so they look more like siblings (maybe because her breasts were a bit bigger in the old pic, and her haircut was more "behaved"). Also, the boy's expression in the old pic showed a lovely sense of wonder; you could understand that he was looking at the fireflies and shooting stars, "ooo, shiny!" - but in this new version he is just pointing at something, and the viewer does not know what; I guess it'd be better if they were more to the left of the frame.

both versions are very nice but i think i like this one better.better color and it stands out more

I love this piece. It's just sooooooooo, magical.

Beautiful! I love the color and the atmosphere.
