I did feel like I shared this a little too early for the progress its at.

Anyhow, switched up the green parts for something a little more.. relevant.



Still have to add the second tier of pieces.

What I'm trying to replicate here

Took a lot of the advice and came up with this. I really like the idea of the small town showing off the size of the monolith, gives a nice depth to the picture.

Still gotta work a lot on shadows however and to find out what to put in the bottom left corner.

Shadows fixed and shading is more readable.

Now I've hit a crossroad here. I can play around with the blue hue's like milokey did and work around getting that correct color with the highlights on the roof,

or I can take the cheap route and change it to a red roof. Nicely enough the red shows off the vines much better now and it sits nicely with the desert/forest theme.

Surprisingly both iterations look just as good (I may even prefer the red roof now).

Demon's Souls inspired landscape.

Somewhat proud of the clouds, but I know they can be improved much more. Maybe even add in god rays at some point.

Challenging myself since I've never done anything large as this whilst also experimenting with different hue's with the shading.

EDIT: Got the mountains going a bit.

I'm trying to represent him in a symbolic way, while avoiding his physical stature and pose (If that makes sense). Adding his pauldron would mean I'd have to add the rest of his torso armor before it seems like it would destroy the look and style I'm trying to get.

I want this to be the kind of thing where if you have no knowledge of what it is trying to represent, it looks mysterious and you are incognizant of it, but if you do know what it is trying to show then you see it right away, much like a silhouette.

Maybe kind of counter productive of wanting feedback but it was an art style I wanted to try.

I figured the lighting of the cloth was acceptable as is, but if someone wants to show me otherwise then please do (I frequently have a hard time with lighting directions). Also in retrospect of the hair, it does look somewhat rigid and frail.

All that is done for now. I do plan on making more and I will post them here if I do.

EDIT: Shoulders should be more visible now
