new illustration

[Jonas Zavacky]

Worked on the comp a bit more... Made the character smaller to sell the idea that he is tiny person heading somewhere unknown. also made the background forest more interesting, but in such a way that it is helping to sell the focal area (at least I am trying to :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: )

@Jonas-Zavacky I really like this color study. The cooler greens push into the background while the warmer greens pop.

@Jonas-Zavacky I'm really digging this layout. My eye goes to the white shape against the black opening and the black figure is a close second read. I love how you handled the clumps of foliage in your color rough- the patterning of your lines made it feel detailed while keeping it loose. I can't wait to see how this develops!

[Jonas Zavacky]

@AnnaDaviscourt Nice to hear you like it! Thanks! I was originally planning to paint it whole, but I wanna use linework now, bcs I enjoy it far more. So I am curious how it develops too :Dw

[Jonas Zavacky]

Some update on the illustration. Made linework and colors with basic rendering which I probably change, bcs it is kinda messy :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: and wanna move to character soon.

But anything that bugs you on this? Thaanks

[Jonas Zavacky]

Hey there managed to work on it more and this is what I have so far. :).
I consider it almost finish, but what are your thoughts? and Thanks so much for every feedback I got so far!!! ^^

[Jonas Zavacky]

alright, so this is the final picture I guess It took me more time then I expected, but I had real fun doing it (at least when I switched to linework )

Thanks for every feedback you gave me

@Jonas-Zavacky I like these original colours - they are very moody.

[Jonas Zavacky]

@Heather-Boyd Thanks, Heather! Do you mean the ones on the version without the boy? I like them too but for some reason, I found them dirty

[Heather Boyd]

@Jonas-Zavacky Yes the one without the boy -I understand your point though. I tend to enjoy darker tones -this one felt more like a dewy rainy day and I love your mist/fog.

These are so good. I struggle with composition and im just loving this

[Jonas Zavacky]

@Aleksey thank you Aleksey ! Yeah composition is still pretty hard for me as well..

[Annemieke]

@Jonas-Zavacky This is beautiful! I am by no means an expert on composition, but the only thing that jumped out at me is that the light (grey) background on the left looks a bit like smoke coming out of the jewel the little boy is holding. I think you can fix this easily by getting rid of the first little "bump' between his shoulder and his hand. Or extending it a bit more to the right of his hand.
I hope this makes sense...

[Jonas Zavacky]

@Annemieke Oh yeah that is right! Didn`t notice it at all.. Thanks ! !
