Hello! I am here as a part of
I am sorry that it took me so long to get to you, and I hope that I am able to present something helpful to you.
First things first... I miss the Tiny Toons! And it's so very nice to see something done from that specific fandom. This is a real nostalgic piece for me!. And I really liked the fact that a lot of the characters are playing instruments that fit their temperaments and/or instruments that they have played in the show itself. That kind of attention to detail is really amazing! And most important of all, I am really impressed with the fact that you are able to stuff so many characters into the same image. That's incredible! Congratulations on pulling this off!
Now... what can make this image even better? There are a couple things I can think of which you might find helpful.
The first thing about cramming a lot of characters into a single image is their arrangement. Basically... How arrange every character so their own personality shows while they can be seen interacting with each other - and still capture the attention of the viewer. (Like this, for example: vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/t… ) Because there are so many characters involved, you may consider:
1. Arrange them by instruments - an orchestra is arranged by 4 different sections (strings, woodwind, brass and percussion). Right now these characters are scattered across the whole image. That doesn't really help to organize the characters.
2. Arrange by theme - You will notice from the linked image, the characters that occur in pairs (the bunnies and the hippos, for example) are separated on both sides of Steven Spilberg to achieve some kind of balance in the image. In this case, the characters are scattered too far apart for the arrangement to be effective.
3. Centre focus - when there are a lot of characters, usually there's a centre focus (the bunnies in the opening theme of Tiny Toons, for example.) In your image, it should be the conductor - which means he should be front and centre and slightly larger than the rest of the crew in order to help the viewer to orient their gaze.
4. There's a lot of empty space on the top third and bottom 1/3 of this image but the centre 1/3 is very, very busy. You can consider arranging the characters in tiers like this image here: images6.fanpop.com/image/photo… This helps to consolidate your image a little better and we get to see each character bigger, too.
I hope this has been somewhat helpful to you!
Keep up the good work!

Hi! I´m from project comment and I hope I can give you a few tips for your next artwork.
This whole scene looks like a lot of work and you did prety good drawing it.
Your lines look realy clean. I always screw something up when I make the outlines but you don´t seem to have that problem.
The carakters are realy unique. Some of them are a bit crooked and the head of some is slightly on the wrong place (I think).
But their coloring is clean and well done! Maybe you could have added shading especualy for the huge instruments, but I think you wanted it to look simple and like I said clean. (sorry my english is to bad to know a lot of words to describe your great drawing) Maybe the carakters are not placed perfectly. There is a lot of space at the front and it seems like the cute musicians are stepping on each others feet.
The backround is realy simple and there are a lot of white stains. I think you colored it with markers and I gues it´s difficult to colour such a bit area. Maybe if you added more detail the areas wouldn´t have been so big but I don´t know much about markers.
All together this is a realy charming and cute drawing with unique charakters and realy different expressions and a lot going on!
You did a great job!

Thank you very much! 😃 Small J will be happy to hear that you like it. The amount of detail he's put into it is incredible IMO. At first, it was just going to be Plucky, Shirley, Hamton and Fifi, but looking back, I like this better. 🙂

Something else that I find funny is that someone once questioned the fact that Minerva was playing a tuba (or to be technical, a sousaphone) instead of a violin. I came up with two reasons:
1. Minerva might have heard about the orchestra performing and thought it was for band geeks...until she saw the muscular Doberman jamming on his metronome. Minerva would play ANYTHING to be near some virile jerk. In this case, she's a One Mink Band! 😂
2. Minerva was going to play a saxophone, but because of a typo, she received a sousaphone. The J.A.M played it instead of her.
