cyandlux Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I like it overall, but I see some problems of course, especially with the right side. Any constructive help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gramz1 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 From that perspective I would say you need to see the other eye. Or, you could turn it and make the perspective more from the side. Otherwise the black empty space is just empty. When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.

To me right now looks like the beaver of the opera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A patch of fur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin20 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Try turning the head towards the front more. Move the details towards the left which should leave enough space to add the other eye. Just an idea i think you could try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chestnutz Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I say add some more brown accents, there's too much black right now. Agree you should shore more of the eye, maybe angle it a little more so it's facing forward more, but definately get rid of some black. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottysprings Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'd say get rid of the beard thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varsity Blue Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I think you should get rid of that black line that connects with the visible eye as well as add an eye to the opposite side of the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyandlux Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 THESE are the view of the beaver...please refer to this BEFORE replying!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutz Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I don't get it, nearly everyone is saying something needs to be done about that right side and the eye, even you, and yet you still say that we're all wrong and that a beaver doesn't look like that. I understand that a real life beaver will look like that in that position, but it doesn't translate well into a logo if you copy it down just like that.Not trying to be arrogant or anything, I've looked through your website and such before and love your work. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any constructive help would be appreciated.THESE are the view of the beaver...please refer to this BEFORE replying!!!!According to your photos:Make the nose black with white shine highlights.Change the black accents to darker brown so that they separate from the black circle in the background, the eye, and the nose.As far as the right side goes; go from the original brown to a darker, and then darker yet brown. From where the light source is; that should be the gradation on the head.These things may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 The nose looks too concave, sloping down from the forehead to the nose, instead of convex like the pictures shows. The lack of an eye doesn't bug me if the beaver is anatomically correct, however the way you have it illustrated right now you WOULD see the eye beyond the nose. He looks very much like a chipmunk right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Does Art Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 It looks like you screwed up the right side and covered it up with a shadow.Change up that shading. Hi, how are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 The problem is that it's all contained inside a strange elliptical shape and looks too confined for one, but also too round and cuddly like a squirrel with those puffy cheeks and chin.. Draw it out on paper. Put in some long, aggressive lines that better define the parts of the face. A beaver's head is a bit like a wedge shape, almost flat on top and coming to an approximate, dull point at front where the nose and teeth are. A beaver's head is the shape of the hood of an old car, the tall grille being the nose and teeth area.

Korkie Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Lemmiwinks! Just kidding, the main change I would make here is to elongate the head a bit. It seems a bit to round, which to leads more to a gerbil look.
