That probably best sums up how I feel right now. I had a bad day at work but all of that went away the moment I logged on here.
Seriously though, thank you so much Shane, it really means a lot. This is probably the first time anyone has done any fan art of my characters and I really appreciate it. There is nothing more motivating to see than something like that. It was very kind of you do to this.
This feeling was so powerful for me, I feel I should do the same for someone else on the forum. Maybe it'll kick them into action like it did for me too.

Yeah I actually originally intended to use a color scheme close to the one you mentioned. Oddly enough, the palette was actually lifted from a Bob Ross episode and it worked quite well. Now that I have the colors actually set though, I'm thinking of reworking it a bit. These illustrations are kind of the introduction to the story and the characters. It's in media res, showing the characters at their lowest points but also the turning point in their adventure so a brighter more "hopeful" palette might work better. I'll experiment a bit more with color and I'll be back for suggestions, but thank you once again for the feedback!

GABRYEL SHISHOU! That is a great pose for the arm. I was having a /lot/ of trouble dealing with the arm positioning but thank you so much for the suggestion. I will make adjustments and post up the different variations I have done up.
