I feel more and more well with this one. Thanks for all your comments, I will try to answer to all of you individualy soon. For the moment, I have some comics pages to finish (with few time to did, of course, as usual ).I will detail this “round home village” step by step .
Yet another concept, David? We’ll see how long you stick with this one, ha ha. 
I like it, but then, I’ve liked most of yours so far. Only comment I’d add for this is to think about how to make the girl stand out from the background a bit more…? Good luck with both this and your comic pages…

I love the color scheme and character so far. The houses are a little boring though. They could use a lot more irregularity imo. But the overall design is really good.
Hello David
I love the alien look of the architecture. However I have to agree with Loris that opening up the background is the way to go. Right now it does look more like an arrival than a departure. If there is some way of indicating that those buildings were the last ones in the town and she was just stepping outside the boundaries for the first time, that would make a much more powerful statement. Perhaps having her looking back towards the village and the viewer either with excitement or anxiety…?
The quality of your line art is amazing!

hey,
she’s gotta saxamaphone! normally i’m not a fan of the main character’s back being to the camera. but she’s got a lot of class so she’s pulling it off. wouldn’t mind a glance to the side though. bet she has a really cute nose. 
good stuff,

I trained myself on the tree in the top of my picture to find my “rendering”, I want some smooth lines around objects. To make a unique comics/illustration style. I know outlined art rarefully meet success on Cgchallenges, but I paint it firstly for myself and it’s the rendering I want.
Thanks x 1000 to all your comments, I will answer them in antother post. ( may be down this one ).
Slav to be honest i would really like to see the snail come to life. the last city image you made kind of looks like she has arrived or is comming home type deal. anywho good stuff. i really like the work.
Hey Slav, I will prevent you especially when I will post my snail on the gallery & my portfolio. Be sure ! ( I continue it ine the shadow , muha muha muha ha !:twisted: … oups ! :wise: ).
Ramitxon In a certain way arriving to a new city is also the start of a new journey. What a wonderful sketch you have here Deevad!. I also would have liked to see the giant snail but this new path is also promishing. i agree with you that you must make that which you are comfortable with. Come on and let’s eat miles…
Thanks ! for “eat miles”, I start to be tired for all those characters walking on all the thread among a big way… pfiou ! and my rendering eat a lot of times too, but it will be smoother than coton. Thanks for your message !
ahbeejieh Awesome lineart man. The composition’s great too. Will watch how this progresses. ~peace.
Thanks !
Loris_ great line art David. Looks good. My comments on that will be that it has no depth. Is too crowded in the foreground and cant see anything in the background so maybe you open up her path on the background a bit, to show where she is heading towards to and also add more details such as more houses and characters for creating a more interesting composition. But i think your on the right track with this work. keep up!

Thanks Loris_ and Darcy, you are both right, maybe there is no “way” in this one to guide the eyes, I will create one and it will increase depht, I think to enlarge the drawing and make a market to have more poeple. This can be great. I will start all the rendering of the right part cause I want to make some rendering, and after I will think to this correction ( it will come in my head with time ).Thanks again to devellop your post with so many words, I’m really touched of the time you spend to help me. I hope can do the same on your thread when I will had more times.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ! If I could be as talented as you maybe I will not start again again and again ! Thanks, your “luck” is welcome and needed on my project I will use your advice with wiseness.
xiu nice drawing!

beelow It is looking very nice dude! Nothing to crit as of yet!
Thanks a lot !
Womball I love the color scheme and character so far. The houses are a little boring though. They could use a lot more irregularity imo. But the overall design is really good.
I don’t understand “imo” in your sentence and I’m curious to know what is it. Anyway, the irregularity will be by the decoration , and the shape duplication is a point of help for the viewer to quantify the depht. Thanks to appreciate my “peace and love” design.

“saxamaphone” I love this word you invent !!! It ring as a good comic title. Did you give me the right to use it in one of my composition ( not for laught, I’m serious :deal: ). About the character, I like character from back, I feel there is a more power to make a personnal projection on them and live what they live. Thanks to appreciate her beautifull nose ! it was the hardest to draw !.
Hi !
I had few time to continue the rendering, is a shot of my digital canvas ( I work this one under Painter 9.0 ).
esxcellent colors david. Really like how fine is your work. Bonne chance pour la suite de ton image.
Very good colour work. I like the general “brilliant watercolour” look.
The hut reminds me those on “Riven” the great adventure game… ahhh so many many years ago
all i can say is simply gorgeous, its a lame comment, but seriously magnificent render, i love it. reminds me of being a kid in disneyland
Vahn very good :applause: whats that hanging in the window ?
Thanks Vahn for your aplause ! The little decoration on the windows, is something made of red rope and give luck ; On day I helped a Taiwan tourist who loosed is bag in Avignon , france, to thanks me, he offer me this, and say that the luck will follow me. Now it’s in my home a nice rememember. May be they’re is another meaning to this oriental decoration. I thought it was necessary to put it on the painting to bear me luck. oups !
