I think a darker bucket sounds like a great idea too! My issue is using the same color across both 'bara and barrel, I think. Gotta up the contrast.

I like their use of tan, and shamelessly swiped their dashes and dots concept lol. It's such a good piece in general! I love Bisque Haus's catalogue.

Yesss! It's a shockingly difficult piece. I've seen a bunch at this point and all the brown just gets overwhelming. I tried to play with antiquing/underpainting but didn't push it enough.

Oh yah I agree for sure!

i think out of all creatures on earth the virginia opossum would ordinarily be one of the easiest to convince of the cycle of samsara but every time one of them mentions suffering the others get so scared they pass out and shit themselves

Honestly I really like it, reads more adjacent to an antique woodblock print in the muted tones which is a fun contrast to the content itself.
