My first contribution of 2019! Hope you all... tolerate it!
Originally I was going to make a bad joke along the lines of "all this espresso can't drown my depresso" (with the obvious choice of Brazil as my coffee provider), but it just evolved with the addition of Venezuela and others. Now it's a "happy 2019" post (or some such).
I did some experimenting with shadows on the countryballs and also attempted stylizing the floor shadows, which I've decided I don't like. I will try and do more stuff like what I did with the shadows on countryballs.
Also, I'm going to just sit down and practice drawing circles. Full stop. My countryballs have always had this weird, I dunno, wobbliness to them, especially visible in their outlines and eyes, which I want to get rid of because it's annoying as all get out.
I just noticed I forgot the emblem on Los Ricos, and I was gonna add it. Oh well, I can just add it quickly.ALSO-also, Demirestad, I love those little pixel countryballs! Can I request one made for Los Ricos, winking with the right eye? If you could animate it doing the winking motion that'd also be great, but it doesn't have to be animated. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Phew, all my recent pictures have been of Los Ricos, and I didn't realize. I might covertly select one or three of you as guinea pigs when I'm practicing countryballs.
