Description
It seems that Frederick found his lazy foster-brother Cedric grabbing a sly forty winks under a tree and decided to take drastic measures to wake him up...Related content

Heya Dan, glad that I still have my DA core sub, thanks to the refresh....but I'm still able to give you a in depth and thorough review of this picture.
Vision) Looks like Cedric once again decided to cast off on his dream boat while apparently he should've been on a job. But it looks like Frederick just has the right cure for this heavy sleeper.
Originality) This is a tried and true gag here, everyone likes to see someone who is sleeping on the job about to get a very big awakening here with that giant air horn here. Frederick's wise to keep his ears covered. I take it splashing Cedric with cold water wouldn't do so hot huh?
Technique) Looks like a quick finish if you ask me, got the chars photoshopped and colored up and slapped on a background...boom you're done ^^ Which is pretty good.
Impact) I'm giving this one 4 stars! It's bright, colorful and best trait of all: Comedic in a sense. Just the way I know you'd do =3
Other critique) My only gripes about the pic is that some of the anatomy and the sense of balance is a bit wonky. For example, looking at Cedric, I could barely see his backside and it makes me feel like he's not aligned between the ground and tree all the way so it gives me the sense he's almost floating in that gap. Frederick looks like he's either about to topple over or he's just begun to raise his foot and lean more to the right when this was drawn, if I were to draw him balanced on that kind of pose, I'd suggest drawing a + sign and then draw accordingly. But it's inevitable that his foot is gonna detonate the air horn.
I would've also suggested to add a bit more details to the background to give a more sense of depth and realism, as it almost looks like the whole thing is made out of plastic, maybe add some lines on the grass to convey the effect too.
But overall, I think you did a very good job here ^_^ I love to see these humorous moments amongst your chars. Though would Cedric get back at Frederick then?

Ah well, thanks for the critique, Alex!
True that the airhorn is bound to be more effective than splashing Cedric with water in this case... in any case, the airhorn was more handy! And funnier!
As for the poses, yeah... in hindsight, I tried to place Cedric against the tree, but I guess I either placed him too high or the tree too low, but I didn't notice that until it was too late...
Frederick meanwhile is very good at balancing...
And yeah, I kind of rushed the background... I'd have better results if I worked on the background in Photoshop, as opposed to doing it all in Flash...
Hmmm, and how would Cedric get back at Frederick...?

Hmm.. well he could lure a sleepwalking Frederick into the river with KFC chicken perhaps? XD

Hmmm, I don't think Frederick is prone to sleepwalking... but maybe something harmless involving a KFC portion... ;;

That's one way to wake up a lazy otter. Very clever of Frederick to use his foot to blow the horn so his ears remain covered the whole time.

Heh, heh... at least Frederick has the natural grace and flexibility to pull it off!
Thanks very much!

I guess he's not gonna get very much sleep afterwards XD It's actually been quite a while since we last talked how are you this morning?

And I'm fine, thanks!

Heh, as Silvia says, I doubt it's likely we'll ever break Cedric of his habit of sleeping on the job...
