here is an illustration i have made, for a large ish scale project im working on with my dad, where he writes a childrens book based on stories he told me as a child, but rewritten in a way which portrays the characters as elements of the human mind, to subconciously teach children to understand themselves. my dad used to draw the main character's head as a triangle because he was atrocious at drawing, so i tried to include that in the design. hope you guys like it!

Nice! I really like the style of this illustration. The colors are beautiful and the setting looks gorgeous. It definitely feels like it belongs in a storybook.

I hope you'll post more updates in the future :smile:

I agree with Cedric. And it's such a happy and dynamic illustration. The only thing I'd change is the blacks in your illustration. How would it look if you reduced that contrast a bit?

This is SO my thing. I love these kind of illustrations! Please keep us updated, I'm excited to see more of you and your father's artwork!

Do you have sketches of the character designs? Curious to see the boy without his armour on.
