This is an illustration for a 404 error page featuring Dwolla's unofficial mascot, a Kwolla (koala). It's teal to match some of the other line drawings on the site. I'd love some feedback. Full sizes are attached.
Looks sweet love the concept! 2nd one for me too, might want to keep the same stroke color? and maybe make the "koala" more prominent with size. Try it out and see if it works! :)
I know I am over dramatic but when I saw the tears I immediately thought, 'Oh no! Why is he so sad?' I know i'm not the only person in the world that would have that reaction. Overall, it's great. He's super cute sanz tears. It makes me wish Koala's were actually blue. But that might have something to do with the fact that I just had my hair dyed blue. : ) Are you going to produce the animation?
I'm seeing this a little late, but really like it! I love the crying version but definitely agree the second one is more suited. Awesome expression too.

Haha, this is nice work man. For what it's worth, I'm partial to the 2nd.l Something about his "frightened" look has me empathize with him a bit more.

Yeah i like the 2nd one. It's more comical looking. The crying might be a little too emotional for a 404 page.

Hey, @Jeremiah, definitely going with the second one, as I agree with @Amber Asay - the crying is a bit much :P Still, good job on them both :)

Koalas look cute - but never climb a tree to pet one - don't ask....
