Working on contrast and movement. I'm not sure I captured the movement, but hopefully the contrast is an improvement upon my past work!Run, little guys, run! O:

If sheep/deer had faces, their expressions would be exactly like that

Oh gosh, these are fantastic! What an unusual concept! I love how jittery they all look, and your digital work, I seriously thought this was a traditional painting when I first saw it 8x;;
I also happen to have a nose fetish, and those are some lovely noses right there.

Thank you! 8D I struggle with digital stuff, so that's encouraging.
(Ohyes, noses. They are beautiful.

Something about this is incredible. I don't even know what it is, but I'm very captured by this.

Now this is something else. For you and in general. Damn.
I am loving the rich contrast you put in here; the lighting is stark, vivid, and pretty much just pummels me in the face screaming, "FORM! TEXTURE! SETTING!"
The expressions on these adorable goat-men-creatures add a whole 'nother element as well. I'm actually trying to figure out if it's three separate beings or one guy sequentially looking to the side, down, then up. It's so surreal it could be both. I love ambiguity
This piece has such a sense of place and mood, I could honestly see this as a cover or some sort of promotional art. In fact, I really want to know what the hell is going on...yet it's also just as fun to fill in the blanks myself.
Great job.

You love ambiguity?! WE SHOULD GET MARRIED!
This comment made my morning because you previously pointed out my lack o' contrast and form.
You can have the one in the middle; he looks like he needs a friend the most.

I'm on that...uh...Artslam community on Livejournal, and my 'concentration' for the month is on these running dudes and the anxiety guys from the same world. [link] A few of these posts have some running-dude sketches.

These guys are great! I just love their expressions. They're definitely prey animals of some sort - will we ever know what they are running from?

I certainly don't. D8 In all seriousness, though, I think they're supposed to be a personification of the more animalistic fears in all of us; definitely a '

The entire scene makes me think of the movie Hannibal, in the scene where they talk about the lambs screaming. For some reason, even though these aren't lambs?, I imagine that was the look on their faces. Dunno why o_o

I haven't seen that movie yet! It's interesting to see how many different films people are reminded of by this piece. C:

You haven't *shock* it's like a cult classic, kind of. Hm you're right, interesting ;D

Movies not your thing? I've seen clips from classics, but haven't seen many, although thanks to taking a film history class, I'm like I know that movie! That scene is so Godfather, etc xD And I discovered my love for some of the first movies ever. I've not seen Casablanca either, so you're good.

I never feel like paying ten bucks to see newer ones, and I haven't the attention span to sit around and watch older ones. 
Film history sounds SO fun, though! Actually, history-of-anything classes are generally more fun than all around history classes.

Ha ha, true that.
It was a fun class, really opened my eyes to understanding where movies today got that idea from. There's so much repetition in movies it's unreal!

Uncanny valley much? c8
Oh wow, I love this. Especially the detail and strokes put into the fleece. <3 The greens in the color scheme look nice as well.
And I have to admit, they almost look stationary or as if they're just now about to flee...opposed to moving.
You ought to be proud though, this looks excellent.

Thanks for the input! Making things on paper 'move' is so difficult...
I just read a bit on the uncanny valley hypothesis. Interesting stuff! The wikipedia article on it mentions that the effect can be apparent in some 3D animation (it mentioned Beowolf and The Polar Express). So that's why those movies weirded me out so much...

You certainly captured the emotion. This makes me think of some sort of still from some strange foreign animation or an illustration from a book

Thank you! People going " D8 " seems to be my default expression when I draw.

Yeah, I tend to draw the same faces, too. It's hard to do different expressions without them looking demented! But you did a good job - keep up the good work!

Maybe you should have given them more space in front. that would make the movement more... moving...

Thanks, Gnistra, that means a lot! I'll try to do more digital stuff...I'm not used to hunkering down at a computer to make art.

I know, right? If ever I make, like, a music video with my music, I want the sfx crew from that movie to do it. lol

Thanks very much for the compliments. I'm glad you think it looks original; I tend to accidentally and unintentionally copy things.
