For the Steampunk Myths and Legends challenge I chose the Calydonian Boar Hunt. In Greek Mythology the king of Calydon failed to honor Artemis, the goddess of the forests, fertility, virginity, hills, and the hunt in his rites to the gods. So she let loose a great boar to ravage the land. It took a huge hunt involving many greek heroes including many argonauts to find and kill the beast. The hide was won by Atalanta who first wounded the beast with an arrow.

These are just some color ideas Im working with. It's a little dark now because Im mostly working with multiply layers over grey. Let me know what you think.

Cleaning a few things, finalizing some ideas. Still debating the second light source.

Some more. Anyone want to give me a crit? I'd really appreciate it.

I like it. The illustration style reminds me of Aeon Flux.

The light feels a little funny to me, I think I'd like to see more contrast in the pallet, perhaps by making the top left corner lighter? Something to add to the feeling of space and highlight that looking from the shadows out to the light. Sort of HDR/Bloom type thing that's less hot?

:)

I think you should pop the brightness more. And maybe play around with constrast and saturations. I do like the animated movie look though.

[Zakari]

Thanks Ill start working on that. I really appreciate the posts. I was starting to hit a wall with this and I needed an outside view.

Im pretty much done. Im going to clean up a few things here and there but I feel if I try to work with it anymore it will start to get overworked.

I just saw that I have another week to work on this but I think Ill start to overwork it if I change too much more, so this is it. Thanks for the crits, good luck to all.

The is the first challenge I have entered and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. Everyone has so many amazing ideas which have given me great inspiration. I started with a pen drawing and kept most of the lines in the final image. I colored and touched things up in photoshop. Good luck to all!
