I have to agree with the Triplets of Bellville comment.
Love the style! And colours.

Oooh, my favourite one so far. How on earth did you get the oranges all stripey like the background, out of curiousity?
The only bit I didn't like was the lady on the right - her dress is so similar in colour to the brown on the orange box that to begin with all I saw was a disembodied arm... maybe her dress should be pale leaf green or something like that?
Anyway, this is the rock, antface. I marvel at your skills. *marvel!*

Thankees for comment! It should be dark viridian green, not leaf green, but yeah, you right. Oh wells. It was only a quick editorial piece neways... no point in changing it really...

I like everything except the background as it should be less textured and flat than the subjects themselves. Seems to be lack of depths here...

Thanks for the critique! ^__^ Feel free to do the same to my other works... i'm just not bothered to change 'em all to "Encourage Advanced Critique".
However, I think for this particular piece, I wasn't really aiming for depth: if I wanted that, then I would have added shadows, and as you say made the background in flatter colour, or more likely make a perspective supermarket landscape... however, partly due to the small amount of time you are given for magazine editorials (1 day max normally, maybe 1.5 or 2 for multiple illustrations) i'm trying to develop a style more based on pattern and mark-making, so I think it's okay for characters to look as if they're floating in space.

i like this one very much!
the kid reminds me of "The triplets of Belleville" cartoon movie ([link] )
have you seen it?

Weeeiiirrrrrd... I mean, yes I have seen it, but I, and everyone else it the UK, know it as "Belleville Rendevous". O_o
It's SUCH an amazing film with such amusingly animated characters... heehee. The mouse-man makes me giggle! ^o^ I saw a slightly shorter film once, made by the same director - animator guy, where a park-warden dresses up as a pigeon in order to get food... yeh... the plot is kinda weird, and it's properly scary at times. Wish I could remember the name... will try and find out for ya!
Comparing my work to that is quite a compliment! Thanks!
