Color! Color!
I would color it as an afternoon nap one, and then the same one as a night time scene. Because coloring is fun dude.
I don't have any suggestions except compositionally I'm not sure if it was your intention for the bazooka to be more dominant (because it is closer/larger than the beaver). You can always make it less dominant by say, in a night-coloring, it could be a little in the shadows and put more of a spill of moonlight on the beaver to shift focus.
Ha. My grammar is a bit off.
I really like this "Beaver napping...". ^^ On the top right of the drawing, you could put a lake behind the slope. Nice piece! Look forward to see your finish work!
I can tell you what I'd do, for whatever that's worth. I'd have the log-gun standing or lying next to the beaver, the better to show that it belongs to him. Or I might have him reclining against it. Also, I'd show a bird about to land in the nest, perhaps with either a twig in her mouth to touch up her home or a worm to feed her newly hatched brood, depending on how long you want to suggest it's been since the beaver's used his weapon. Finally, I might put a slight frown on the beaver's face; that (to my mind, anyway) would suggest that even in repose he's ready for action at a moment's notice. Hope this is all of some help.
OMG! He Lives! Looking forward to seeing it coloured. It would be really cool to see it be super-melodramatic. So it would be almost realistically rendered with a grayscale and then throw oranges and reds on another layer. The sun sets on our hero as he relaxes in the last rays of the day knowing that when the next sun rises a new day, and another battle, will begin.
Oh and those who hadn't seen the animation might not get that the log is a bazooka. Maybe putting a shell in the cartridge and another burnt-out one on the ground would help sell the idea. Also to fill out the scene you could have maybe the legs of the robot standing in the distance smoking lightly. Standing mutely as a warning to those who would invoke the wrath of the forest's grim protector.
See you soon!
