Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

I love it - even though I have a ton of asphalt and am steering toward other shirt colors lately - I would be buying one of these for the season

Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

Brilliant design. Again. Everything from the fur shading to the palette shapes sells the directionality of this design.

You got skills Patrick! Maybe from some kind of Faustian deal...? :^)

Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

coloring is superb as always!
well done! +1

Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

Man, your halftones are always so smooth and clean. Also, I luv your character in this one. He/ she is just wonderful!

Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

I'd like a halftone tutorial, plz. I like your halftones. I want to learn how to do them like that.

And if anyone see's this post and would like to help me get better at halftones, I'd love to hear it.

Ditto!

Nice job with the wind and mood Patrickpens. I feel rather like that bear in the winter - wishing I was someplace warm!

Oh, so now it's bears? I thought it was bunnies before. Although bears are decidedly more masculine.

So cute! That looks like some harsh weather though! Love the style you used to draw him in his dream bubble. The half tones on the snow are so well done too.

Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

See, this proves that polar bears want global warming

Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

This really does hit the sweet spot for being on theme and has an iceberg full of great design touches.

Why is he wearing a santa hat while on the beach?

Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

Most likely his hat blew off in the winter storm.. *would have been a good touch*..

Very nice work there !

Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

Love your artwork. It's always so smooth and delicious. Yes, delicious.

haha! I'm glad I read the other comments, but I was about to make the same post!

Beautiful, I'd love to get one for my dad.

Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

Not my cup of tea for wearing, but the illustration is brilliant. GMV for that.

Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

I am somewhat bias because I love polar bears, however, I just really like this shirt. +1

Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

i love this.

Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

I cannot resist that face. I wanna take him home an warm him under the blankies.
I wish you'd gotten the green in the right spot in your color palette. But it has no bearing on the design. Just my OCD. Got a vote from me!

Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

This is totally me during winter. Stuck in MN, hating the snow, and being a Crabby McGrumpy Pants Bear.

So cute, love his expression

Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

He must be dreaming of Waikiki. Great character!

Re: Not the best home for the Holidays

Looking at this actually makes me feel cold! Great job.

His face makes this shirt. I definitely want one!
