Beaky Bay Birdies playing home, but they find themselves trailing 4 to 3 as we enter the bottom of the ninth inning. The tension in the air is palpable, as each pitch could be the difference between heartbreak and victory.
Flurrabell swings with every ounce of his being, connecting with a deafening crack of the bat! The ball soars high into the sky, a majestic arc against the canvas of the stadium. Outfielder beaver race back, their eyes locked on the ball as it sails over the fence. The crowd is on its paws, their roars merging into a symphony of joy.
, which represents a very important time, with a game that was able to cope with a peaceful mind during most of the pandemic, featuring in the stands people who helped him through the lockdown.
Also it has been one of the illustrations I've taken the most time to complete. I started it on March when suddenly the forearm pain started that avoided me to keep drawing for 3 months. Once I started drawing again, I did some first smaller drawings before continuing this big piece, taking many days due drawing in a very slow pace, only few moments per day; when suddenly a second pain stroke back and I had to pause drawing for another two weeks. I could face that second replica with some exercises and discipline, and I could continue this piece until finally finishing it. So it took me around 5 months to complete.
I don't complain, I had a lot of fun working on this piece, from figuring out the composition of shapes, characters and stadium, the position of the view to be able to see all the narrative that this scene required, studying and watching many baseball games. Then figuring out the color composition to make arrows with the shadings to the main character. It has been definitely one of my favorite illustrations to work on, despite it took me longer than how I was used to.
OMG this is an amazing picture, the colors the composition the attention to details. Lol the public looks like cardboard cutouts (I guess because of the rim light effect you use there) but this add to the charm of the pic, they are toons after all ^.^
5 months to complete? Yeah I know how much work such a pic can take, but Gosh, I wish I got you level of skills. ^.^

When you hit the ball with a Louieville Slugger and get THAT SOUND you KNOW you have a home run! There's no other sound of feeling like it in the world! :D
Funny I always zoom in and check to see if I can find where artist take a shortcut. Painting skills... nope, but I see one small shortcut you took for the spectators.
