I want to depict the beginning of great journeys and adventures

This image show a boy with the parents it only heir, also,
in order to engage throne it it will have to find and in the consequence to conquer dragon so that it is deserved to become the king of the large kingdom

Here and the small sketch of the future creation :)

I like the idea! This could look really fantastic, with rich fabrics and sparkling gold. I think you should change the composition a bit though, right now there's no focal area of interest.

I like the lady.

[rodrigoessinger]

Good concept!
Have you read Eragon?
It remembered me the book a little bit.

Good luck!

[Annemee]

Great colors! even such early on I can tell this is going to be a beautiful piece :)

[Ranath]

hi krot, good luck on the contest. Nice start by the way.

[Lync]

Very nice start. Great concept.

[KrotArt]

Thank guys
I am going to change a composition
here all characters stand as on a portrait :)
I am going to introduce little bit more dynamics in the picture

[W-I-L]

[MVDB]

Has added little bit more emotion
in the characters

How to you a new composition?:)

[LorisArts]

I really like your sketches Mihail. And the idea is good but I feel that the composition needs a bit more work. I cant really feel the journey!! Good start. I wish you good luck and I'll be checking out! :thumbsup:

Yes... You are absolutely right the atmosphere of adventures is not strongly felt yet
But I work on it, and I hope I can show it:)

[JTD]

This last composition is great. The woman is trying to talk the man out of leaving. The boy is trying to pull the sword away from the dragon. I love it! And you have a great style. I’d like to see this one colored.

Has changed a composition
Has added two ways
By one take away dragon and second take away the boy
So the travel with many adventures begins... :)

But while again it in process
will change the positions of the characters
So while that I work above all

[paperclip]

It's looking better, but the composition still needs work..not sure what exactly, it's like they're all doing something different and it's hard to know what exactly the story is. The only thing suggesting a journey is the horse in the background.


Good values, by the way. :bounce:

[LorisArts]

Better. the horse detail in the left background makes it more obvious for a journey. But maybe you could flip the man to be in the left side and the woman on the right? I like that the woman is trying to keep the boy but i think maybe the mans pose should make it a bit more obvious that is trying to get the boy to come? Nothing too much though. Thats all for now. :)

[KrotArt]

Basically is correct
I try to connect of all working persons
That they were not separately

this not so simple test but I shall try to finish him

One more variant
Now it is a little with other composition

[marcoracer]

I like the warmth of the interior vs. the cool blue outdoor lighting. How about bringing the horse inddors and having the parents sending him off on his quest? How does the little dragon fit in with the story?

[KrotArt]

Idea in that to show that to the boy it will be necessary to win dragon

While it not under force to the boy, and will be necessary to set off to long travel
And in adventures the boy will find forces that fight with dragon

[slickgreekgeo]

You recent concept is your best, hands down. I look forward to see how the painting goes.

One more concept from me
:)

Work with light

In process

[LorisArts]

I like the latest one. Maybe the head of the knight could be down and having the king using the sword for making him a sir? Or maybe more horses outside to feel that they are also about to leave for a journey? You are def. in the right direction. Keep up!! :thumbsup:

[KrotArt]

I draw the king and prince

On idea he already sir:)
The king blessed son to the journey

[Velarion]

fantastic lighting.This will be a killer painting.

[slickgreekgeo]

Even at this early stage, your image looks promising; This is a great rendering, the dynamic lightning effects are awesome. I'll definitely be watching this, you're already off to a ridiculously strong start, great work.
