Re: The Experiment: Happiness is...

Using the scientific method, this is an experiment of which variable creates real happiness.

Test subjects: Balloon, Ice Cream, Furry friend.

Thanks to everyone for their help in the pre-derby thread!

Re: The Experiment: Happiness is...

You have a pretty solid design. It's cute, without being big-watery-eyed cute. Good job.

I like that the kid has a "diverse" skin tone.

Re: The Experiment: Happiness is...

Love this!
There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.

I actually went through a series of ideas with this one... including depression, life happiness with posessions/money, etc... finally decided on good ol balloon and ice cream. Glad you get the meaning!=) Thanks stephwak!

Re: The Experiment: Happiness is...

Cute one, Jas! I would pick ice cream.

Re: The Experiment: Happiness is...

I was hoping there would be a #4 with a warm gun at the end.

Let's see what happens when we take the puppy away.

Re: The Experiment: Happiness is...

I had to finally come back and vote for this one. First, I want to say it was really cool how you asked for feedback and actually received good constructive comments. AND you did a great job of using the comments and bettering your original work in a way that looks great.

Very well done.

Hey, thanks so much for your vote and comments! It's really helpful to get other sets of eyes on a design and getting useful suggestions- even little changes can make big improvements! Thanks again!
