    Man, this is incredible! The amount of detail in the process of creating the piece really shows in the final creation but seeing the whole decision making process is really inspiring & informative!
    It's really cool how you go on to show how intentional all these decisions are. Everything from the colour and composition, down to the saturation, contrast, physics & techniques all have reasons behind them here. It really shows how being knowledgable can better equip you to make great results as an artist! ✨

      Thanks so much dude, I feel like I just gained a lot of insight from your comment also! While making this I didn't quite realize the scope of what I was walking into, but given the scale and freedom that a full mock-up like this can have, I guess it was important to hold everything together with those little decisions along the way 😅 Was also a lot of fun to play with the direction/choreography of the animation once everything was in place too! :D

    Hey! Love the art work, little tip on the dog, I recommend drawing it so that it looks like face is from that half side angle perspective. Take the nose as the middle of the face and bring the dogs proportions out from there. The eyes and ears getting smaller as it gets closer to the side of the face turned away from the screen. This kind of perspective can go for all the dogs features. Just a little tip, hope it helps. Love the art work! Watch all your stuff, some super amazing design, line art, foliage, animation. Just got all that good stuff.

    I'm glad I often keep my initial sketches to see the progress.
