End of the line…wip ^_^

So I just had brain fart of a whole day yesterday starting with a panic attack fueled morning, and when I was sketching this last night and picking colors I was working on the same layers and it was looking very painterly like my old stuff and completely strayed from how I’ve been working recently. I don’t know what happened but I am really loving it I just hope it still looks somewhat like my style just with bit of a rendering difference? I don’t know what I’m getting at yesterday was just an off day but ended with good artistic choices?
Anyway….. I’m still working on the same layer with the exception of the weasel which I wanted to ask if it draws too much attention I will do a dark greenish blue wash over once it’s done, just blocked in right now.
Thanks guys

@Asyas_illos I didn't see the wall vs. wooden pier posts earlier. I like the stone wall.
For the piece with the ghost:
It took me a second to realize it's her own bones.Lightening the weasel was a good choice. I don't think it's distracting. But it is bothering me a little that the ghost kind of comes out of its head. Maybe you could try moving the weasel up or down the slope a little bit.
What's distracting for me is: Why are the bones only partially buried? But I guess that could be part of the story. Maybe she died there, and it got partially covered / scattered over time.
-
@Miriam thanks I went with that.
I think I’m done with this one though, I’ve moved on emotionally lol
-
@Asyas_illos I really like how she seems to be watering herself and the tree growing from the body. Like the green colours with some red. i wonder if the Robin won't attract too much attention with it's colouring. The background might be darker to give more contrast with the ghost? I like the Wessel looking in, but indeed maybe putting it more up? How many have you made this slowember?
Kamari sure has a slow start but brings lots of inspiration in the end, lol. -
@Miriam yes it’s not a grave it’s where she died and the now the forest is sort of reclaiming them? New life springing from her bones, it’s not an immediate new beginning hope that doesn’t make a difference in the judging.

@Chantal-Goetheer if you’re new here you’ll come to know this is how I roll, lol it takes me a few illos to warm up, before my better ideas begin to emerge. I don’t slow lol if I slow I lose interest and forget how I’m doing things, it’s a mess!
-
I think I broke, I don’t know what I’m doing anymore! I think I might be overworking it at this point… I don’t usually do so much detail, so I’m not sure where to cut it off. Wtf is going on?!
-
Growth? It’s definitely not a bad thing, I love the textures you’ve got in this one. It’s quite stunning. Keep going, see where it leads you!
-
@Asyas_illos I feel like the most recognizable thing in your style is the way the characters look, so even if you make a more painterly piece, it will still be easy to tell it's yours
And I really like this painterly one! A bit dark, but personally I love that
Good decision to cut the weasel in my opinion.And I agree with @Chantal-Goetheer this Kamari prompt indeed has a slow start, not much happening in it's forum thread even now! So I wonder if everyone will post there suddenly on the last day? I guess it means it's a tricky one
-
@Asyas_illos Oh, I liked the weasel (just not where it lined up). I also liked the bottom of the ghost going to a wispy point in the previous version.
I like the details you are adding. It's fun to see you experiment with doing something a little different. Both styles look good, and I agree with @mzameckaart that this is still recognizable as your style. It seems like a variation on what you usually do. Keep going with it. I think it will turn out great!
-
@Asyas_illos I LOVE how this turned out. If you ever offer this as a print, count me in for a purchase.
-
@ajillustrates thanks! Um, which one? Lol! I’ve never done prints before but my sister and I have plans for an Etsy shop in the future so I’ll keep y’all posted.
-
@Asyas_illos The cat leaping to the fisherman - it came out great.
-
@mzameckaart thanks I appreciate your feedback, I might replace the weasel with some more little birds instead. And I’m glad I’m not the only one who was stumped by this prompt!
-
@ajillustrates gotcha thank you I’m quite proud of it too!
-
@Miriam thanks!
-
@Asyas_illos @AngelinaKizz Thanks guys! I am just lazy to do complicated things though
. Published? No,no, i am still miles away to get even a portfolio out
. -
Still working on this, I think some details to small tree and then to the ghost. Then maybe some more critters and I’ll be done.
-
Got another color choice here
-
I think I’m staying with this color palette, and I’ve added some critters what do you guys think? I feel like it might be becoming to busy, I’m getting that itch to start completely over…
