Thanks, everyone. The crab is a character that I thought up based on the eyes I used on my "leap frog" illustrations. I like the "long eye" style of the eyes, and will most likely use that as "my" eyes. Not that I am the first to draw long vertical eyes, mind you, but I think they go good with the characters I come up wth.
You have to find something unique in the book which perhaps even the author was not entirely aware of, and that's what you hold on to and that's what you add to the pictures... a whole other story that you believe in... that you think is there. ~ Maurice Sendak

Hey Tom, great characters. I especially like the pose on the little boy. Way to mix up your subject matter.
Thanks, Ryan. I am trying to stay focused on people, but the animals come a bit easier, so I draw more of them!
