Hmmm...

Remember this piece? Well it's back, and I need an opinion for it. The last picture is where I am with it now. I don't like the middle one, but I can't decide whether it's better with white or with the grey in the background. I think I really just need to stare at it for a while, but it would be helpful to get some of your thoughts on it also.

Evil Goats

Someone, I think Kelsey, suggested a while ago that I should do a picture with a goat, so this is my newest piece. I think that goats are sort of creepy, and if you get really close to one and have a good look at its eyes (they have sideways pupils) they seem really unnatural. So I want to give this piece an unsettling ambiance, if possible. I have a few qualms about the compostion of the current sketch on my canvas, it is refusing to cooperate like my original sketch did. Do you think that it's a big problem? It's still in the early stages, so suggestions would be super helpful.

More Lizards

So I added another lizard onto the painting; I think it works a lot better this way. The positioning of the tails annoys me a little, but I tried a couple other placments and this seems to be the best one. It just seemed a little too much like the first one was mirrored over the middle of the canvas... but I think it's about as good as I'm going to get it. I have more detail to add to the lizard, but hopefully I can finally be finished with this piece soon.

This month's other pieces

I'm not really sure what to do with my lizard piece-- not really a big fan. I was wondering about maybe adding some darker patterns in the background, to try and replicate the pattern on the lizard's back, but I'm not sure if that would turn out.

I'm going to try adding some light background elements to the dog one, and clean up the feet a little more, but mostly I'm happy with that one. Should I bother to add more of the little bird pictures like I said I would in the last post, or can just that one stand alone?
