IF...angel/devil...

This was an incredibly fun illustration for me to work on.  I used the same face but flipped over the eyes/eyebrows/mouth...and it made all the difference in expression.  I liked the idea of the devil wearing the smart but uncomfortable suit and the angel wearing the comfy shirt and pants.  The devil's hot color scheme just feels so heavy versus the cool colors of the angel's, which feels so light.

Hi dear! The angel really does look light! How amazing that it is essentially the same figure with tweaks. What a fun exercise.

I really like this...it says a lot just in the clothes and the expressions. Your description of flipping the heads and mouths also says a lot about how differently people perceive us depending on our expression...a smile always gets the best reaction! This is a good illo for me to see at the start of the day...you can be sure I'm going to be smiling:>>>>>>>>

Fun illo! I like their "fashion statements!"

Really cute, it is interesting just a difference in eyes can make in overall expression on the face. I do think the fresh looking angel won out in the fashion category as well. Cute, cool piece.

Nice work--I identify more with the devil in this latest hot weather. My face feels like it's as red as his!
