Yes, you don't need a nutcraker to open a peanut, walnuts on the other hand..

i know it's picky but why is his tie around his waist?

This is kinda awesome, and I hope it gets printed. it took a while before I realized that nutcrackers were originally designed to crack nuts, and not as christmas ornaments. it's much better to use a peanut, because a walnut could easily be confused for a rock. or a pecan.

at first glance i thought it was a monkey, then a civil war general. it was until i read your comment that i realized it was the nutcracker. maybe make him more recognizable. different idea,i like it

i like the nutcracker and the overall composition - the nut needs work - a harder nut like a walnut would be better (although mr. peanut is easily recognizable) - if it stays a peanut - the tie should be higher, and because the tie is facing forward, there should be a face - 4

This is quality stuff. yeah, a slightly altered mr. peanut lookalike (i dont know, put the monocle on the OTHER eye. lol.) would def clear up some confusion on what is going on in the scene. That is by far the scariest looking nutcracker ive seen since that clip on youtube of some kid jumping on a spiked fence and landing on his.

Thanks for the comments and sugestions so far, most of the sugestions that have been made I had actually tried.



-The tie is around his waist because it lost its "nuttiness" by too definately defining a head.



-The reason I have used a peanut is because it is the most easily recognisable nut, and also because a nutcracker poses an even greater threat to a peanut than a walnut, Like a wolf to a little girl. I may try a resub with a different nut.



Thanks for your constructive thoughts.

nice but i think that a different nut is needed and it took a while to understand.

Yeah, this is amazing. The colors are great and it's wonderfully creepy. I agree that it should be an almond or something tho.

Awesome, but a walnut or almond or something that you actually require a nutcracker to open would be better.
