Portrait's looking fine - melancholy's seeping through. The background seems to be the killer for this challenge, throughout the entries so far. I mean, its hard enough to make a coherent image from this weird color combination, let alone filling in the frame for the composition, since there's no opacity allowed. I kinda cheated and filled in my fruit's surrounding with the default background gray.

Oh wow. I misunderstood the rules and just used the palette provided. I ought to be more careful!

Monet!

Its not poor :/
The walk cycle can be improved in your next walk animation so it does not seem so much a glide as a step.

Worked on this throughout the day, still unfinished and probably won't be able to submit it/finish it in time but still, was fun!

First time posting in a forum thread, hiya! This is as far as I got for the week, enjoyed working on it but won't have it ready in time
