Re: Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

Wow. This came out too well! Definitely has an old picture book feel to me which seem extremely suitable. Great work, meg!

Re: Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

This was pretty challenging to color. Meg did a great job with the layout and character designs, she's a fantastic cartoonist. There was just so much going on in this scene, it was tough to get it knocked down to 6 colors. I'm really happy with the finished product, and I'm hoping this does WAY better than our last collaboration did.

great work too odroc! ...my bad, overlooked that it was a collab.

Re: Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

So much to enjoy in this. Dynamic concept, great linework and coloring that seems to be torn out of an old story book. Another fine collaboration megsck and odysseyroc!

Here's the thing I really don't understand. Meg's art always has the elements that the voters allegedly like. It's cute, the characters are always smartly designed, and her drafting skills are top notch. This design even references a well known children's book. I just don't get why she isn't getting crazy love here every week.

Re: Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

Not to discount Meg's mad illustration skills, but what sells me on this is Oddyssey's coloring... bright yet muted... gorgeous

Re: Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

Yep, I sure do like these restrained, almost pastel colors. Meg's wonderful art goes without saying.

Awesome. +1
