CONGRATS Mike:scream:! This is another finished masterpiece, aside from the overall composition and the details, I'm always amazed on how you make each characters tell their own story by looking on their actions and expressions..:thumbsup:

Thanks, Tibor! You know, it's funny, I used to never do landscapes and environments like this, I just always tended towards interiors and close in views because I didn't want the landscape to take away from the characters. But ever since "Journey Begins" I've been giving more sweeping panoramas a try, and it's working pretty well, I guess! :) Anyhow, missed you for most of this Challenge, sorry you didn't have the time this time 'round.

Thanks for the comments everyone! Glad everyone's liking the piece, and especially happy that the expressions and poses and such read well to folks.

It's also really good to be done: With a baby around now, most of my time on this piece has been very early mornings or very late nights, so it's nice to not have to go to work after everyone else goes to bed... whew!

Anyhow, hope your peices are all done or nearly there, too. Good luck!

[Jadir]

whee... finaly found some time to post and let me say that, yes, that little shadow on the forehead is what I meant, it could even had been lighter than that but let's just leave that for later...

This was a great pic to see develope, thanks for sharing even the little tecnical details of your process, I'm glad I've been around to take a look and learn!

Cheers Mike!! and congratulations.... have a good night sleep in name of those not done yet!:D

Hey congratulations Mike. I really like what you wrote with it too - definitely pointing out some strange behavior. Is it too late to turn it into a vertical (portrait) composition? No, all joking aside, you've done a superb job. The subtleties and dynamics going on between all the characters are depicted beautifully and the setting is wonderful. This is a very strong entry in this challenge. Good luck with the voting

[RicoD]

The final piece looks amazing! Congrats on a job well done Walrus. I wish you the best of luck in the judging stage!

[walrus]

Thanks everyone! Yes, I am definitely getting more family time now that I'm done. Not getting more sleep, though, as you suggested: Instead of working on my Challenge entry, I've been staying up late playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess instead. I put off starting it 'til this piece was done. And it's been ages since I dug out my watercolors - time for a small break from the digital. :)

Anyhow, thanks for the kind notes, and especially for not adding anything else I need to fix! :D Good luck, all!

[OKMER]

Ok, I got something to fix....

hahaha..no just joking,
Now you get back to Zelda man!:-)

Very best of luck to you Mike on the final judgement!Hope to see you in the next challenge buddy!:beer:
