Story Time (Take 2)

It's far, far better than the original one. It's not nearly as busy or crowded as the original one was. the colors are more life-like and vibrant. The lighting is believable and adds life to the scene. I prefer the way that you patched the imagined story into the scene in this second take. It seems more dimensional rather than comic book like. It almost feels like the story is popping into the characters' world through a portal. Your skill improvement and enlightened information bank about digital artwork shows here in the way you executed your ideas. There is just one thing that kind of bothers me. The little red-head next to the rocking horse seems to feel like a porcelain doll instead of a living child. Her gaze is too... static and she seems to not be engaged in what's going on at all. If you positioned her head so that it looks more like she's looking at the older lady, it might fix that problem. Or if she maybe had a less expressionless look on her face, that could potentially fix the porcelain doll effect. Overall, though, this is really nice, quality work. Good Job!
