Description Remember, kids; video games cause global warming. 

Yeah, this is what my OC's, Kappy (green) and Berra (blue), resort to when their video game privileges are revoked.... or if they just played a kart-racing game... or suddenly just feel like it. Basically, just expect this to happen from time to time if they live near you.

What stands out about this piece is the perspective. It's a difficult one but you did it really well, especially when you see the angling of Berra's vehicle. Yes, I saw the self-contradicting apple sign e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="387" title=" (Wink)"/>The picture is dynamic and conveys mischief-- overall a fun piece. Your line work is very good with varying levels of line thickness. Little details like the lights on the ceiling and the various grocery products make the piece look polished. And for some reason, I like the little lobster thing that Kappy seems to have kidnapped.

To add extra pop to the picture, try toggling your contrasts. Without contrasts, the multiple colors happening in this picture seem washed out. Be careful of putting a blue character next to blue things in the background, as it de-emphasizes the weirdness of a blue franken-child being in a grocery store!

While the vast majority of your picture demonstrates your artistic growth, the characters' faces do not seem to have changed much throughout your pieces. Study facial structure carefully so that you can distort it well. Kappy's right eye, for example, has a sort of open-parenthesis shape that makes the structure look . A quick study in facial structures can help you figure out where best to put such lines. In addition, although their eyes are meant to be yellow, using only one color makes their faces seem basic and detracts from all the other sophisticated artistic choices you made for this piece.

Finally, I've seen mischievous looks on these characters' phases, but try exploring other facial expressions too. This can help you make the characters a little more accessible to the audience. They'll be able to connect to these playful, carefree characters more readily if they show a greater range of emotion.

Despite all my suggestions, this piece is very good and you should be proud of the progress you have made. These characters are slowly evolving from what looked like notebook doodles to characters that could almost interact with the people watching them. Good job, CB!

LOL artificially colored and sweetened "organic" apples!

AND WOW. I don't think I've ever seen a deviation that had no Comments but DID have a critique!

Gotta splash that water to keep the lobster alive.

See? They're not destructive little delinquents! They're actually quite responsible!

Nope. They're the first thing. You said it first. XP
"Caring" ≠ "not-destructive"
hehehe
