Haha, poor thing, hes fucked!

I like it! But the depth of field aint really working for me. The closest treetrunk should definately be sharper.

I like the way you did the eyes. and the egg.

keep fightin at it.

Oh god that made me laugh. That expresion of complete "Huh?" on the little chicks face and its impending doom swooping in from the background is genius. This Roks. Without the "c" because its just too cool for it. Keep up the good work.

this is some funny shit... and ya.. that expression is priceless.

Just a couple of things that might help.

there's not enough contrast on most of the areas, I used to do this alot. A good trick is to look at your work in grey(gray?)scale. It helps to see where you're losing the most depth.

Also it seems like you missed the shadow that would be cast from the little bird.. so it kinda looks like it's just pasted on top.

But other than that, i laughed my ass off... " poor little thing, he's fucked"... lol.... damn

oh.. and the bird almost looks tim burtony... so you get high marks for that.

Shadowkiller - Thanks man...i think its the first i ever had lol. I sketched the character one day just foolin around, then kinda put a story to it.

Wart - What a great compliment! The whole idea was to make the viewer laugh, so it was great to read your responce.

Primofimo - Some great advice in there, if i work some more on it in the future im def. gonna look up this post again. Thanks

Thanks againg guys
