Illo Friday- Sport

This little guy is gazing at the stars after a fun filled day of playing football.
Actually this is a portion of a portfolio reject. He's actually looking at a moon wearing a nightcap but the moon is awwwwful.
It's a shame when you finish a piece and it doesn't come out the way you had hoped, isn't it?

He looks so cute, Roz! I wonder what's so awful about the moon?!
I like it, it looks great!! The football looks so perfect :-D
It is tough though when one has a vision of the finished piece in one's head and it doesn't want to become what we want it to. WE are awwwwful for being our own toughest critics sometimes...

**sparkles* for your work!!

The boy is cute though. Anyway to salvage the moon?

[isay]

it is full moon i suppose, and you can say the moon is awful if you have made her darker but he is not.... he reminds me of my nephew that i miss so much!!!

[roz]

Thanks you guys. =0)
Hey Janee-kins! No he's not salvageable in my mind. But I can remove him and replace him with another one.

Gosh, I think this is just adorable! Is the moon really that bad? :-)

Well, regardless of the rest of the illustration, the little guy is doing a great job of making us all smile. He looks satisfied and content after a game well played. Love your work!

Hey Roz,

I love the stiches in the grass and the edge of the hill. It looks so warm and fuzzy I want to join him on the hill. :)

I think he's cute...we tend to be our own worst critics don't we??

Cheers,

So sweet. I think it's a great illustration. I do know the feeling when you think you are making something great, but it turns out different. Not much fun.

Your work is always so beautiful...dreamy!

It reminds me of how I felt on the evening of the 4th... except it was ultimate frizbee... and I wasn't smiling... in fact I wasn't even sitting up. Man I need to excersize more.

I love the warmth that your illustrations emit, and the softness of the material. It works together so well. Just wonderful.

love the polka-dotty starry sky...this is super-sweet and like all your work gives warm fuzzies!

[Satu]

How cute! I love the starry sky, I wish you could see more stars in the city...

This is lovely, Roz! All your little details (the stars, the grass textures, etc) really make this special.

Very nice Roz!
