picture book teaser: tanuki at play

This scene features the Tanuki brothers, Ichiro (balancing a water bucket on top of a doorway) and Jiro (placing another bucket on the ladder behind him) who will be introduced in Lorelei Makes a Friend, which will (I hope) be available in some form later this year.

Ichiro very carefully balancing a bucket on a door . . . while Jiro's behind him balancing one on the bottom step of Ichiro's stepladder

This is a rough concept sketch - this particular scene may not appear in the book itself, so rather than work on it further, any tips received will be counted as support for the book as a whole. The author, [livejournal.com profile] ego_sideways, and I do not have a publisher giving us royalty advances, so tips of any amount are, as usual, greatly appreciated :)

Um. That was awesome. I like the image, the perspective used. It's also, clearly, adorable.

That's such an awesome and unusual angle! Love the water texture on the top bucket especially, it looks like it might be about to splash him a little...
