There is a great sense of scale in the most recent one. I agree with the1stangel though, the guy looks like he’s looking at a tiny animal…Looking forward to where this goes!

I like this composition the best. I like the mix of colors as well. The foreground character is a nice lead in to the piece.

the1st_angel- LOL, get some sleep dude! hahaha! It’s funny that u said that, hmmm well see what I do next, I like both and yes that is the major problem with the latest one, Hmm I wonder how I can fix it?
Michael Chang- Yeah, creepy and mysterious is what I am intending, for this piece, I think this may be successful!
Neubius-Thanx! I am still contemplating on it though, I may end up doing the other, still not sure though.
yAdam-Hmmm, u know what, I think I may add some children and a couple of dogs!
calisto- That, homegirl! It was kinda difficult at first, but using Paul Davidson’s Master and Servant entry help a bit to get what I was going for! Thanks Paul!
jcrawfor_us-Yeah, at first I was not even thinking of it, then I decided to do it, I wanted to include the viewer into the painting! Thanx bud!

The last one is definitely the best! What an improvement in just a couple days… colors are great, compositon too. I don’t really get the feeling I’m a small animal from this one, more like I’m on a ledge, below or crawling on all fours, or both.

I must agree with the1st_angel about how the pic could be read, but the latest updated pic is the most interesting by its dynamic and composition. So instead of reading the story as if u r some little fellow back there, u could even improve the dramatic feeling by adding some stairs on the lower part of the pic. Thats how the viewer will have the feeling of climbing up to something greater, the man infront is calling him up to hurry up and the problem is solwed with some minor changes 
just my opinion. keep up with great work buddy! u r doing very fine!

Hi Bryce,
Great composition, mate! Just be aware of anatomy of the nearest figure, could get off a bit…
I don’t know, maybe i’m wrong.
Can’t wait to see how it’s gonna turn.
Best regards and big respect

Nice sketches. The last one is quite dramatic. A few things, though ~ watch you don’t exaggerate the perspective too much in the foreground, else it will look distorted. Also, the transition from warm to cold colours is quite sharp. If you graduate this, and perhaps link foreground to background more (by means of a path, or steps maybe) then this would improve the feeling of depth.

Impressive pic so far Bryce
Nice camera angle and colours.
Are the guys further down the path the right scale?? They seem rather tall compared to the wall next to them. Maybe some depth of field could help the illusion though.
Maybe tilt the lantern of the guy on the right, he’s moving forward so inertia would make it tilt towards the viewer.
Waiting for more updates

yeah… me like…
when I start look at it, my eyes follows from left upper “the light” and down to the right and then into the middle… and the people are in that “line”… and I still get that feeling… wait for me! :bounce:
