First fast rough to put the colours and concept.

Not satisfied by the first background (wasn't deep enough). Now it feets me better.
Next i will work on the characters on the motorcycle on the foreground.

Think that the motocycle guy will take more place than he's actual size on the final concept. So i draw him larger.
Now working on the little angel

Concept sketch for the angel.
Now learning to have an interresting dynamic for all the componments

Here is the final concept. All for today.

after thought, i wasn't happy with the position of the motorcycle guy (looked like in holliday, not chased by police) so i moved his body a little bit down.
deliberately, i don't want to change his face and his expression. He's determinate enough to fight this Journey !

Last touch on the foreground to make it more interresting. Retouched the angel to give him the good dynamic

I wasn't satisfied by the composition of the image. So i dig a bit and found that this fits me better.
Now i'm going to dig in the lights and darks to better show the importants parts of the image.

This is the first touch of the lineart.
Bought a Graphic tablet and it's magical ! Allright, it won't make me a better artist (if i've ever been once) but it helps ALOT !

This is the near last touch to the Line Art. I retouched a lot the background to arrage it to make it sense like a modern castle. Next i will learn lights and shadows before going to colors.
