I'm not very into the cartoony look. But this was fun to do. Expect more of these

These are very nice. I like both of them - each has a distinctly different feel. (obviously.)

You can never go wrong with those Burtonesque curlies... In fact, if you do more work in this style I'd say make your curlies go even MORE extreme.

This is a neat style. I never really get tired of seeing stuff like this.

I like the second as opposed to the first...I never tried the cartoony thing much....so I really couldn't give a critique, if you wanted one anyhow.

Henrik, these are very nice. Love this style and have thought about doing some stuff like this too... Maybe a childrens book or something.
I really think you should tighten it up some more, would make it look more finished. Some areas seem more worked through as it is than others. The monochrome version looks awesome too. Very nice.

See I appreciate all forms of art as long as they are good...and this my freind is good cartoony work if you ask me.

I prefer the first color version towards the burned second one. The pic is good but the tree on the right side seems to be unfinished. It doesn't match the style used for the rest of the image, perhaps some 'smudge' would do it.

The two of my favorite objects in this pic are the sky and the shadows. The way you casted shadow perfectly displays isolation and the size of the tiny hut.

the second one rules. Good work!!

Great stuff. I like the second one more because the color palette keeps it together.
