Description
I've been redrawing my own little pets lately. Sometimes I feel like I haven't learned anything new about drawing or Photoshop and I get really frustrated. But then I look at this version ([link] ) that I did less than a year ago and I can see the progress. Phew!My main goal with this was to hit a higher level of contrast than I have in the past. I've always kind of struggled with contrast and making anything really dark so I really had to make a conscious effort doing this. It's still nothing extreme and maybe in a few months I will laugh at my feeble effort here, but for now I'm pleased with the result.

All these peeps and their base are belong to me.

I think the improvement in apparent, both in the colouring skills and the overall style! Even your use of expressions has changed - there's more variety in the new version and that's definitely a good thing.
Also, about the contrast - I think you did a pretty good work with the light/dark balance. Maybe it looks a bit dramatic in some of the faces, but then again that depends on the background. If they were to blend in a scene they would work, in my opinion. In terms of balance and shading, I think my favourite is the guy in the bottom row - the shading looks really natural without being plain and I like how he looks like he's out in the sun.
Are we going to see more of these people? They look pretty interesting!

Thanks so much! I'm glad I'm not the only one who can tell, haha. I think these peeps will probably show up from time to time...but no guarantees
