Travel (WIP)
-
Thank you very much for the comments and crits. Started to work on some of them. Here's the new background and a rough placement of the characters. Hopefully now the background will give a bit of a hint as to the danger they're heading towards This would be the entrance to the mountain pass. I'll start working on the characters some more once I flesh some more of the background out.
-
Not a 100% sold on either one of my first two attempts so I did a few more thumbnails.
-
@evilrobot I like #1, your previous post with the foreground work is amazing. I really love how that was coming together.
-
I love the progress on this, and I admire your pencilwork. The crosshatching adds some great texture and definition.
-
looking really nice. The foreground elements really help the depth! I know it's only lightly sketched in but watch out with the tangent of that foot and the foreground object.
-
I like number #1 do you need a skull though? It does tend to make a image go to the dark side... just a thought.
-
@evilrobot Really liking this! for me it is #2 that is working best compositionally - could have the second character down from the left and the character at the bottom right be focal points - one of them being secondary - maybe spacing them in a very slightly different way so as to fall nicely on the rule of thirds grid? I'm sure any of these would turn out great though!
-
Another update. Still trying to work out the composition. Nothing set in stone yet. Thinking of having a little gnome riding the boar. And his hands are crap so I'll have to redraw those.Still may change back to the other background.
-
Was able to get a little more done after work today.
-
Love how this is turning out! I am missing his flying tresses, though, -- they made it seem like he was being pushed by the wind , which always adds an element of danger on the side of a cliff! This illustration evokes great story elements!
-
@evilrobot This composition looks very good to me - especially with the boar facing to the right now - cliff takes us in and down - we hit the group on the road - follow the road to the boar - boar and skull send us to our waning hero - I think this is very solid compositionally and the drawing is looking great!
-
Another work in progress. Went back to the pencil look. Going with a comic book style rendering.
-
and starting to add some color.
-
looks like an epic journey and adventure! looking forward for more progress!
-
And a bit further. When I look at it all I see are tons of mistakes and it's not really coming out like I wanted. I really need to work on my hands and figuring out the shapes of those cast shadows.
