@phume10: Thank you!

Was polishing along this morning and suddenly I think I've figured out why the composition bugs me. 1. the scale of the fire dude and the earth elemental are too similar. 2. there is zero foreground in this picture :-o

Here's a fix-in-progress. I'll need to look at it later to see if I've ended up over-filling the image. I would guess I'll need quite a bit more value adjustments around the middle parts to get the value composition to work again, but I think the balance between the figures is much better. Also drew over the fire elemental to try to make his design less boring and flow better.

Oh you're at Airship Syndicate, well that explains everything. Thought the style looked very Darksiders-ish, now I know why :smile:

Ahh wow this looks amazing! So colourful and full of life. Personally I think it's difficult to tell immediately of the element considering the first hit I get is green, nature based but the used of the gradient from blue to green to red is really pleasing to the eye. Wish you the best of luck with your piece :smiley:

love it! great colors, very dynamic piece!

Thanks a lot! I kept tweaking the composition and colors. Hoping to find some time to polish more before finalizing, it needs some sharp edges still and too many things are still too noodly, haha.

Great work, can't wait to see the finished illustration!

This is incredible, awesome illustration in every points !

I just realised what I said didn't make any sense lmao I thought the original element was water but being it's earth it's far better! I apologise for that. Either way amazing work!

Jan '20

This is next level, the colors work together so well! Nice job

Jan '20

Thanks all for the support! Got crazy busy so the final couple hours of polish didn't get in till tonight. This has been a lot of fun and I'm leaving this as the final version. Looking forward to seeing everyone's amazing work this year, and having more time to do this all again next year!
