Bagel Bears (Resub)


Re: Bagel Bears

Ok this FINALLY got through. Been trying for 3 hours!

Bears LOVE bagels and cream cheese.
Usually, they have it with smoked salmon, but they couldn't
wait today - just had to get toasting, spreading and eating!

A little fuzzier than my usual... tell me what you think!

Thanks!

I like it. But, I think the eyes could be better. And what is the big white rectangle over the middle bear's head? I can't figure out what that is. Good luck!

Whoops, I just realized that is the toaster. Sorry, could not get back to edit my original post.

Re: Bagel Bears


@lindab - thanks! With the eyes, is there anything you'd particularly like them to look like? I was trying different kinds and this seemed to work the best on these bears.. all black looked scary, all white looked dead, white with black pupils looked toooo cartoony dopey, finally this seemed to fit the rest of the design the best.

hehe yup. Me too! I was craving them so much when I was making the design and all night when I was trying to submit it! Unfortunately I'm out of bagels. I think I'm going to have pita and cream cheese now that I'm back to thinking about it!

I don't know...they just seem like there is too much white to them, but the good news is I am starting to get used to them. The bad news is now you have made me hungry for bagels and I think I am going to have to go get some now. Do you know what kind of line I am going to have to stand in?

Wow, finally able to post. I don't know how others have been doing it, I got errors all day in the derby yesterday!

Thanks imsochady! So bears are your favorite... now that I think about it, I've seen a few bears in past designs;)

It turned out to be too late yesterday and I knew it would be crazy there this morning, so I think I will leave early for work tomorrow and grab one for breakfast. I'll get a breakfast bagel on poppy, plus a cream cheese on pumpernickel for lunch. Yum! Then I will be good for a while.

Yum is right! I love poppy bagels! Hope it's delicious and satisfies your craving... I still need to satisfy mine though!;)

Very cute. But the poor bear on the left has a whole in his tummy (I'm guessing we're not supposed to see all the way through him through the bagel hole).

Wow, I can't believe I didn't notice that... (or anyone else until you)! Of course, if this were going to print (which it's obviously not), I would fix that=) Yowza, how embarrassing.
Thanks though, and glad you think it's cute!

This is a cute design. I do agree on the toaster...it took me awhile to understand what it was. Maybe just a little detail or more lines on it would make it clearer. Poor lil bear with a bagel hole stomach!
Otherwise,as always, adorable.

Thanks Sugareeali!

I decided, since there was a little bit of time left to submit, to resub the design - fixed the poor guy's tummy, changed the toaster (hopefully it is more clear that it's a toaster now?), made the black pupil outlines a little bit thicker for lindab (a little less white now).

Please check it out here:
Bagel Bears (Resub)


And thanks everyone, for the comments! This design didn't get many votes, but I appreciate seeing the comments of the few that do like it
