Description

Crew G-15 on a journey in the fantastic Korolka Island looking for giant Korolka Rabbits.


Actually planned to make it for the CGChallenge XIX - The Journey Begins but did not have the time to work on it...
But here it is now

Done in about 30+ hours in OC and PS2

Started a sketch with an idea on my mind. used a ref image for setup, however did a different pose and lighting. went on colouring in OC, switched to PS many times to correct colours.

here some details, wip and ref link.

Awesome job...great character design, Artoonator is right.... the atmosphere of this piece get's me wanting more, y'know, is she on a journey to save her people, or is she just out for a stroll to have a little fun?!?!

Need more please!

Thanks people!
They are on a expedition, this is a pretty unexplored continent, they search the giant Korolka rabbits....

I have a website, but it contains mainly pretty old crap, so that is why i am doing ned images for thenewport.I stoppedpainting for 8 months, moved to Thailand (from germany) and worked mailnly as a Photographer. Just felt like i needed abreak from my old Job. Was working many years in a game development Company, last Project was Aquanox Angels tears for PS2/X-Box

This is wonderful, great work. Pose, expression are both excellent, and the choice of colors as well. I can't think of anything to criticize on this. Can't wait to see more.

I think it's fantastic. The lighting and colouring is magnificant but my attention keeps diverting to the grass and the grass reflection. I cannot put my finger on it but it bothers me. =/ I think it is maybe that you cannot see the difference between the reflection and the grass. I know it is shadowed but maybe too much so?

I'm a little speechless.... Just checked out all your work, and it's wonderful.

I REALLY appreciate the step-by-steps, too. Those are incredbly helpful to those of us who are novice painters (and those that just wonder, "How the hell did he do that?";)

Great work. No crits.

9/9

This is really beautiful! SO WELL DONE! I'm amazed!
Outstanding work!
I like the way you managed the light in this artwork, it's perfect. I don't think I can find any errors. Tha characters look very nice. One of the things that catches my attention is how you painted the ripples of the water and gave it some ilumination. Very great touch. Details are truly incredible. I just love this!

Very nice work. The mood is fantastic. I love sunset colours :)
I would like to see a bit more depth (contrast, tone) in it though.Especially with the two animals (they look a bit flat on eachother).

Honestly I think this is great, I can really appreciate the emotions conveyed, as well as admire the image as an image. The process was extremely helpful for someone like me whos strengths are not in coloring but drawing, look forward to seeing more of your work, keep it up. No doubt you will dominate the painting category.
