Heyo!

So whadayathink? Feedbackzorz plz

Thanks!

so cute

those are human bones! love it.

That's one mean-ass care bear! It's pretty genius I gotta say. I wouldn't change a thing.

Definitely submit - I have no doubts this will be printed!

Critique Mine?

This is immensely wicked awesome and I want one. Right now!

Sub!

i like the idea... reminds me a bit of gloomy bear with the pink and claws.

but something about the thick outlines bother me -- gives me a coloring book feel. maybe try a maroon instead of black to blend with the pink? and no outline around the white belly part. oh, while i'm being picky... the tail seems a bit high up it's back ;)

overall, good job brian :)

That's what I'm talkin about, some honest-to-goodness criticism! :) Thank you, sir!

I just googled Gloomy Bear and I see what you mean. I was just trying to pick the Care Bear with the most ironic belly emblem, which in my estimation was the pink one.

I'll mess with the line weight some, maybe I can find a happy medium between cartoony lines and oppressive lines.

Good catch with the tail

Cute designs. Nice twist on the Care Bears nostalgia.

So this version is essentially the same, but with a lower tail (thanks Philip) and some toned down line action (thanks Philip), haha

nice :) i think it toned down lines softens the look. how do you like it?

my only suggestion now is try a thinner outline for the bones... so the bear stands out more.

GREAT JOB BRIAN!

I love this. Very cool : )

Amazing!

i think you need to bring in that cheek behind the mouth just a little.
good job!

here's the winning formula:

1. take away the tail. the bear's legs are spread. the tail would be in the middle (not visible).

2. i agree with bloody bear, bring the cheek in a little.

3. downsize the bones which should also make the outlines thinner, as pilihp suggests. bears are bigger than humans. the bones currently look like he ate a giant. maybe, also add some blood spatter on the bones to give it that "i just killed and feasted" effect.

4. win!

Philip, I'm diggin' the new outline. I feel like that's usually a conclusion I come to much earlier, but for some reason I'd been holding on to black with this guy.

b-bear and steve, thanks for the input. I guess at the time I first put this up I was under the feeling that having no tail was going to look weirder than having a tail in the wrong spot. I just feel like the viewer might expect to see it, whether it's correct or not... I'll have to mull it over I guess. Also, I agree about the cheek.

Thanks, guys!

sub this!

looks great, brian! let me know when it's up for voting :)

Awesome design! The one question I have is with the blood on the mouth. Is there a fresh kill around? But then if you put a freshly killed person, it might be too gruesome. Nevermind (sigh).

Can you critique mine?
