That was awesome. Thanks for taking the time to think & write so much feedback!
I hadn't planned on painting them, both because I like the way wet clay reflects light and because half of the stuff is modeling clay and won't ever dry. And because of school and time and stuff.
Tentacle guy could certainly be Spock, but I've been avoiding showing people's hair, because I'm not sure about the color/texture thing. Clay hair looks funny. I should probably give him a proper head and face and things - right now he (and everyone else, really) are just jawlines with noses.
You have an excellent point about everybody being on their backs. Flowergirl can be made to sit up more, and I'll try that. She'll also get something other than tentacles, to further differentiate her from #1. I'm leaning towards scrapping Madeline & Kelvinmedic entirely and making something else, just because the faces don't seem to fit when everybody else is torsos.
So yeah, thanks again so much for feedback! I'm enough of an artist that I can make stuff, but not enough that I have a great sense of composition and so on. It's amazingly helpful to be able to post stuff and have people look at it.
(This is sort of on hold until the weekend, because I have schoolwork to do instead, but I'll make another post when things are moving along.)
