(Really rough version now...better version later.)

FLY AWAY

Jasper's hat is sort of a mystery. He never takes it off, even in the shower, and it has the tendency to try to attack and eat small woodland animals. Such a hat raises so many questions.

Does the hat have a name?

I like your usage of the window type thing through which Jasper is sticking his head, it adds depth to the picture plane in a very simple yet effevtive manner. Your technique is beautiful, I love the fine white outlines on the shoulder and collar. One thing though, there's something about the shape of the hand gripping the hat that seems kind of odd. Of course I'm judging by my human standards and Jasper doesn't exactly have standard human anatomy. Other than that, I love it. It's pretty incredible that this is a rough drawing. In a vein of inquiry similar to Xid's, does the recurring owl have a name?

I think it's Salvadore. :p

As for the hand... The anatomy isn't really that far off, but the proportioning is. His hands are often a challenge for me, since they're so ridiculously oversized that my best efforts at sketching them still look awfully awkward. At your suggestion, however, I think I might go back and take a second look.

You've brought back the owl! :D

Lovely work. Hard to believe that this is the rough version, but I can't wait to see it done.

That's one hungry-looking hat. :giggle: I like how Jasper is reprimanding it, yet seems almost proud of its actions, like he's glad to always have a protector with him.

ahh, this is how i remember jasper when i left off. it is so good to see it all again. like getting off a long day at work and finally being able to go back to a good book.
i really like the double stripes, and i enjoy that you started using the living hat more. the owl seems to me to be saying "it is more concerning that i am seeing you than that you are trying to eat me, perhaps there was something off in my last meal." although maybe that's the sleep deprivation talking.
i am trying to unlearn comenting on every picture.

My cousin, who was looking over my shoulder to see this picture, has some very interesting theories about Jasper's hat. Most of them make me wince. I'd rather look at pretty pictures of Jasper's hat then wonder where it's digested food goes.
