The Ant and the Grasshopper

A work in progress!  This is an intended for a children's book version of Aesop's fable.  I'm sure you know the one.  It seems crude as it's missing cast shadows and the modeling I would have liked to have finessed for another day or so.  However, I'm pleased with the characterization and cool light/warm shadows scheme.  This was also my most ambitious project using Corel Painter.  Though unfinished, this piece represented a leap in understanding for me.  

Below is a detail of Ant's anthropomorphized face.  Some wondered if this is a self portrait.
