Voodoo Gator Model Sheet

This is so exciting to see! i have this overwhelming urge to ask you 4 million questions about going to school for animation, but i'll resist <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="19" height="19" alt="" title="Sweating a little..."/>

Now then, really getting into it... First off your line work is beautiful, very crisp & clean, nice variation in widths without drawing focus away from the character as a whole. He's got a lot of lovely expressions displayed & is very consistent throughout which is SO difficult to do. one thing i noticed right off is that there isn't a ton of squash & stretch used in his expressions, which i am used to seeing in such curvy animation. it's obviously there in the 'shocked' expression, and maybe a bit in the voodoo spell casting expression, but typically i'm used to seeing more of it in cartoons that take this much liberty with expanding the reality of the creature they're representing. he's also the friendliest voodoo witch doctor or alligator i have ever seen - which could be perfect, depending on his roll, it does make the more menacing expression (on the inner right side) seem a bit out of character, but again, that depends on his place in the story, so it's hard to say. if i had to get super nitpicky i'd complain that his tail looks a bit poofy in the bottom right (reclining) picture, but i had to really really hunt for anything i didn't visually adore. overall it's clear you put a lot of time & effort into this character & this character sheet and i could absolutely see him in a cartoon, so as far as i'm concerned you've done your job, & done it well.

now, i'm not a great (or even good) artist & this is my first critique, so take that as you will, but i like to think i'm a much better observer than producer of art <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="19" height="19" alt="" title="Sweating a little..."/>
