On a technical note, when I began rendering the characters, I decided to keep them almost completely free of any type of photographic effects - so the faces each have a slight edge highlight, and the eyes contain radial gradients – but other than that, the characters are pretty darn flat. Their shadows are tints (and simple oval shapes), and, except for elements like skies, which will be gradients, the backgrounds will also be mostly solid shapes.
The linework is semi-loose - these are vector-based characters, so the outlines don't have the fluidity of a true ink outline, but they're dynamic and varied enough to give some life to the characters, props, and background elements.
That's it for now. When the site launches and the first cartoon is viewable, you'll be able to see just why they're in a tent!
