sketch phase work in progress.

ahh hahahahha you have to finish this!



love the concept and the sketch!

on 2 something cool Id roll with it

a color version. I like how this single light source makes the grizzly look more intimidating.

made the shadowing on the teddy a little more smooth and inviting.

That is pretty darn poppin' fresh. Great concept. I like the illustration, though the arms look a tad. . . shriveled. I get that the doors are casting a shadow, but maybe just make that part a darker green? Or else just make them a little bit thicker? I don't know.

I completely understand what you're saying, but I want to see if more people perceive the arms the same way that you do, as I can't get beyond noticing that the black area between the arm and the torso is just shadow.



I feel like I have to strain to see it the other way around. If enough people are seeing the same thing you are, I'll definitely add another shade to make that area more readable.



Thanks!

maybe make the teddy robot more robotic, sharpe edge and metals

Frappuccino

Compute Commands in Love

Zoom Zoom

That'd be interesting, but I rather like the idea of all real bears being powered by teddys.

I think its good that the teddy isn't robotic, I like the fact it's something cuddly inside a huge robot that's not so cuddly lol



great light effects btw, though I agree with Leafless that the arms look abit odd with the dark areas done using the tee colour, it would look better with another shade of green in there I think



comments on my critique would be appreciated, thanks

added a 4th shade

wow that's really nice, makes the whole design look alot cleaner, great placement btw, I'd probably buy this!

I would appreciate opinions on version 3 versus version 4.

And thanks Brentendo, I'm liking version 4 as well, but I had a little place in my heart for the shirt color as a prominent shade as well.

playing with the flash interface

four fer sure!

..seems i posted that in the wrong version..my bad

wow and neat presentation too!

maybe just a wee bit shadow below the wicked bear



sub already

had to submit a new flash version, the first in house tester rolled over an overlap area so the focus kept panning between the two non-stop.

I've just quit, what did you mean by this:

"maybe just a wee bit shadow below the wicked bear"?

nice idea for the flash interface, though I just found a problem, if you put the cursor on his elbow you get some weird effects, I don't know how to fix that, I've only just started learning some flash, how did you get the images to blur on rollover?

oh my bad you've corrected it now, i obviously took too long to type my comment lol nice effect

I just made 2 photoshop images, one with the other object blurred. Then made one of the images a graphic in flash and set the alpha to zero with a tween to the alpha at 100 so the focus effect works. Then the alpha from 100 to zero to reverse the effect.



I'll have to mess with the overlap areas a little more to make sure no one gets confused by a constant shifting focus.

"had to submit a new flash version, the first in house tester rolled over an overlap area so the focus kept panning between the two non-stop."



I actually had fun lol



"I've just quit, what did you mean by this:~"



oh, ignore that, I just realized the tee is the darkest color.. I think this is very cute and witty

i enjoy the concept and it looks very good. Stylistically i have seen this before. but it is a good style. I enjoy the coloring though and your use of light. if you have a chance check out mine, thanks

Thanks one and all!



I'll be submitting the overlapless flash soon!



Any last minute critiques are welcome and appreciated!

Looking good, but I'd like to see a little more linework on the edges between shades to make it look hairier. You have that going to some extent on the chin.
