Love creating artwork but you can't find that extra-little push you need to get going? Looking for a community of artists to share your progress with? Want to press your foundations and aesthetic choices to the max?
Look no further! Open Crits is now a WEEKLY DESIGN CHALLENGE that will push you to get back to your foundations to enforce well-rounded drawings. All artists are welcomed, though for now the assignments will be geared more toward animation-themed work.

Spirit Bear Sketches WIP- JULY PROMPT
Just some quick sketches in Photoshop. I was thinking about doing Totem Spirits as real animals, taking an influence from real totems. Here are some of my references so far. Black Bears Totem 01 Totem 02
I love his expressions. the eyes are really strong! The way you designed makes that easy to control. I think the red kinda gets lost in his fur, I was thinking maybe an orange or a light green. but i love the character he's great!
Wow that's cool never thought about an actual animal looking like a totem pole. Ummmm I don't have anymore feedback other than it's an intriguing idea.
Thanks. It's just a character design, aimed more towards animation, but it's just early work. I thought about the green, too Eman-- orange sounds like a good idea and yeah the red was bugging me too. =)
He looks fun. I'm curious to know what kind of character he would be. He looks very expressive. A shorter snout suits him better than a longer one. I love the colored version without the outlines best, i think it would be a nice look for him. It makes me think of eric carle's work for some reason. *looks around for her scissors and paper*
