Thanks,

I'm really digging the first picture. The strange proportions give it a great freaky feeling, and the toys tied to the bottom of her clothing is a wonderful idea that really helps complete the effect. Nice work!

First one to name that ref gets a prize

Nice work Johanson.

Oh, and: Sandman of course. :D

You win my admiration!

And I really like these paintings.

that first one is pretty creepy..since here arms are so long, i'd give her longer fingers too. on the second one, maybe some textures on the different robe layers would add to the design.
just a couple ideas that may help.
cool stuff

Dr_Zaius: I’m happy that you got the toys. Looking at them again, they look pretty crappily rendered. Maybe I should take another pass at them.

shortmikeshort, and Patch: Thanks for your kind words. I’m really glad that you liked the characters.

Andy: Thanks so much for your constructive criticism. All the patting on the back that goes on around here is great for the self confidence… but it means way more to me when someone takes the time to analyze what they’re looking at. Thanks. Also, I’m glad to hear that I was at least kind of right about your Angel character. Good stuff.

Later,
