I made some changes to our characters. Just tweaked the colours to balance things out. White tights for the uncle coz he was really dark and stood out. Oh ya, and made mom and the aunt smaller. Placed some shadows to see how they'd work too.
...ok bye.
by the way, I was thinking we could sell these movable characters for a quick buck. hahaha!

We are getting there right?! Let’s do a wooosh, shall we? You know, those kind of boost-the-spirit thingy?!” (Enthusiastically holds out her hands in whoosh-fashion.)
