Beefy Tedd (Patreon)

All this was supposed to be was "experimenting beefier-than-Elliot Tedd who's not any taller than normal". 

In fact, I chose it because I figured "one person? Easy!"

But then I thought about it, and realized Tedd's height, which was specified as part of a poll, wouldn't be clear without someone to compare it to. I decided to add Grace, who wouldn't be big on the whole "extra-beefy Tedd" form, for that job.

So problem solved! Except I didn't like the composition I wound up with. It created a situation in which Grace would probably have to be positioned in such a way that the comparison of height was lost, so...

Sarah. Sarah's there now, and she's way more on board with extra-beefy Tedd.

You were supposed to be a single image of Tedd, milestone image! YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!

That ranted...

This was really fun to do, and made me realize that I've actually come a far way with a lot of things. I could do the majority of this very casually during what mostly still felt like a day off.

As per usual, where I ran into the biggest complications was coloring the background. Coloring characters? Not that bad. Backgrounds? I could second-guess my choices for hours.

I like Tedd's basement with green hues, and the green of the stairs is by stairs from when I was growing up, so I knew that much. It still took way too long for me to settle on the exact greens, and I could've kept experimenting if I'd allowed myself.

Something for me to work on, but if I can get away with simpler backgrounds in color images, I definitely will.
