I decided to try re-sketching this in new colors and to keep a normal,
bland style and theme this time. A storm knocked out our electricity for
a bit, so I didn't get very far. But I like the way this one looks.
This is still very rough, but you can see bits of my work process. I did
this one free hand over my sketch, where as I used line segments and
anchors for my line work before. The lines would obviously be cleaned up
up on this, but I think the free hand makes the piece less stiff then
the other. I also added in a little hat to the pensive worm on the
orange.
I still have trouble creating a character in multiple positions, so the
blue elephant looks a bit different to me then the first, but this was
what I had in mind for an accompanying picture to the blue elephant on
the left. A few people had mentioned this would make a good 'missing
you' card. I'm not sure the sentiment works on the second part, but I
thought I would share it with you all none the less.
