Bear.

Weeelll, here's a bear for you guys. It's purple. I think it would be a nice contrast to the more natural-looking creatures. Since this bear is Olive's, I feel like he's gotta have something to set him apart a bit. I've been going off of what we've talked about at the last meeting, and well, I hope this is right. His little snout does not make him look old now (this was a trend with the longer snouts and the flat face wasn't working either, so I split the difference) and this is the first thing I've been able to produce that does not look like pedobear.

I hope this doesn't sound horribly negative. I was stressing a bit because I want this to be utterly awesome and it was just not going so well in the beginning. Also, this thing has been the hardest thing for me to paint out of ALL of the creatures. I can't believe what a challenge it's been. I think it turned out somewhat adorable though.
