made bears :)

mister and missis bear - for a friend's kid... I'm going to put them near a cottage in a forest or something... for now I'm just happy I finished all the bows and ribbons and little roses hihi
hope you guys like them

the bears
the outlines

and a flash version if you want to get closer

I used some very old Paddington teddy bears for refference

wow, awesome stuff mihai. I really admire your attention to detial, simply outstanding :D

The female bear looks really sad though, like she's about to cry....why would you make her cry, mihai? ;)

Anyway, I'm sure the kid will love em. Top work as usual!

The detail on the dress is just unphathomable. Oustanding.

thanks guys

duo - she's sad because mister bear is going to work (or on a trip) and she stays at home all alone...

Those are some nice bears.....especially that dress!

But with the dress im starting to question whether he has enough detail? Maybe he needs a couple more (smaller) folds where his coat ties together? Not sure, but she seems to capture the most attention.

Either way, im sure the kid will flip.

I know! this is what I was afraid of. mister bear was the first I made.. then when I got to the dress... I kinda got caught.. and added loads more details than I originally intended.. so now.. I dunno - the male looks..."poor"

*sighs and gets down to details*

You can always count on us, Mihai, to challenge you to another 4 hours or more of pen'ing--just to satisfy our anal-retentive attention to detail.

Looks great--I picked up a couple of good tips on gradients and masks in Illustrator from your tutorial! Thanks!

yay somebody actually read my tuts
I'm making more hihi

I would have shot myself had I had to path that dress. Again, amazing work man.

w00t super work heh ! funny how I was going to say how much it reminded me of paddington bear
