ART STATION Journey FINAL Submission~!

 -- THE ROYAL PILGRIMAGE--

Here is my final submission for artstation journey challenge!

I ended up changing a lot of the design and composition from my original sketch. Now looking back I feel there are still many more things I can improve upon (especially on the design.. I found tonnes of great reference images in the middle of painting!) but its okay I have learnt so much from doing this piece and I have to move on so I can do a better one next time! If you have any feedback or what to watch out for next time, please do share it with me!

ART STATION Journey Submission! part 2

After taking a break.. I felt that I deviated from my original idea a bit too much so I decided to do another thumbnails based on my earlier thumbs (4,9,15) but I tried to push the perspective and distance.

Then I took it and reused some of the color keys that I like to use it as a base for the color. I think I will be going forward with 4A or 4B! Let me know what do you think or which one is your favorite!

ART STATION Journey Submission!

Hello everyone! I decided to join artstation JOURNEY art challenge!
https://www.artstation.com/contests/the-journey/challenges/5/submissions/3805

Here are my thumbnails for my submission. Had an idea about a journey of a son of a demon king who set off in a ritual passage to be a full grown demon. In some of the thumbnails I imagined him as having a royal procession as he sets off on his sacred journey to conquer the human world, in others I trimmed it to just him or him and his mount (minotaur/other mythical creature)

After doing the thumbnails, I decided to try to splash some colors to try to find some plausible mood for the journey. At first I tried to stick with the 3 keywords I gave myself but I thought it was limiting the possibilities so in some occasions I deviated from it. I was thinking of proceeding with 2C or 1C. If you have any suggestion on the mood/how to improve upon these or which do you think are the better choice.. please do let me know :D
