Vlad: Welcome!

The Letter Eater is an awesome concept.

Given the subject matter and audience, I would not persist on
technically correct perspective. But the current state makes me wish for
either a more stylized and loose, or a more realistic depiction of the
animal.

The book establishing a strong perspective and the nice fur texture push
this into a more realistic direction. The glasses are clearly
intentionally cartoony, which is OK, even given the strong contrast. 

What I think is not satisfying are the feet and the way it stands on the
page. I would look for, or create, a reference to get that right. Does
anybody reading here happen to have an anteater figure or happen to have
some clay or any other suitable material to create one? A photo of such
a figure on a book arranged to match the illustration would great.


Thanks!
