the 2nd is just too adorable!
its expression is priceless.

great job.

**Mirana** · April 10th, 2006, 11:32 AM

The second one scared the crap outta me. It's so ugly it's cute.

Love the fuzz and the sunken face.

Love the expression on that flying guy,can I keep him as pet?

**redehlert** · April 11th, 2006, 10:14 AM

great addition! good sense of motion - reminds me of something that fellow post-er chuck,mate. would do.
....active, dynamic, and yet comical at the same time (teeth and characters in bg). i dig it!!
cheers,

Wow, brilliant update image. Great lighting and movement.

**Konstruktion** · April 11th, 2006, 12:38 PM

Haha that second one is so brilliant! He looks... I don't know, fun? Cool? Happy? Really nice anyway!

**e338** · April 11th, 2006, 01:28 PM

the last one is by far my favourite. Really good dynamic and designs. Love the way you've managed the motion effect, but for some reason i kinda miss the brushy style of the cape from your CGtalk version (of course, not that rough but...). Almost looks like a directional blur in photoshop now, although i'm pretty sure it ain't

Anyway. cool stuff Mr Chiu!

**Clandestine_IX** · April 11th, 2006, 02:07 PM

Very cool, congrats on the new book, really like that second one, looks like you could just reach right in and grab him!

**monani** · April 11th, 2006, 04:07 PM

i really like the third sketch painting!

**Idiot Apathy** · April 11th, 2006, 04:21 PM

Ah so that's you? I saw this last one on Cgtalk, very nice. I do have to say however I liked the composition of the sketch a little more, just felt so fluid as if my head swung with the path of the blade, you know what I mean?

**digi** · April 12th, 2006, 11:49 AM

I was in a funny mood when painting this. I was thinking it was kind of a doggy-tiger-mouse-pig but frankly I have no idea!

**Alday.J** · April 12th, 2006, 12:33 PM

LOL ! I want the same !
Nice stuff, Bobby. Very funny and pleasant to see.

**redehlert** · April 12th, 2006, 12:38 PM

hysterical!

**Tom Garden** · April 12th, 2006, 01:16 PM

theres is a nice blend in your work between exageration and cartoon, and then hinted realism in the way you paint and light it

**Pavel Sokov** · April 12th, 2006, 10:25 PM

amazing animals dude!
you handle exaguration just right!

**AnalogDoll** · April 12th, 2006, 11:02 PM

Everytime I pass by this page and take a long good look at that first image, I can't help but think, "That's not creamed spinach in his mouth."

Some poor family is missing a pet.

Looking forward to seeing what other creatures are waiting to thrill us.

**RocketEXE** · April 18th, 2006, 11:44 AM

**nonie** · April 18th, 2006, 02:08 PM

Wow, cute creatures! I like the second one in the first post and the last one a lot

**young paddy1** · April 18th, 2006, 06:09 PM

dawbing skill all over the page there, love all the little furry doofers, but I really love the Baterpillar Ferret when it had paws they made it the cuteness overlord.

cheerio

**Tyranx** · April 18th, 2006, 06:14 PM

lol that last one is awesome!

**Stephan_R** · April 18th, 2006, 06:31 PM

Really sensational stuff. Lots of humor and pleasant colors, but also impressive details. The fur is amazing, did you use the "twisting the pen "method in Painter to follow the contour of the body?

These creatures have my favorite detail in them "personality"

keep it up please.
