well, i myself long for some distraction in that people-shape…
maybe a lil kid breaking out to the right, maybe some dropped fruits and a bending person to the left… those people just seem to be very on rails right now
and i liked that horizontal canvas thing more, with that little wave in compositionblah
but who am i … just advance your piece, i’m sure it’ll turn out great

Du Sau! 
“First attempt” - I like this kind of understatement.
Allright, it’s great already - like I didn’t expect anything else, if You hold the pen.
But right now, the composition isn’t really overwhelming. There’s a hole in the middle of the page, the “main” figures seem to be ducked in the lower third part. It looks like a book cover concept, with enough space for the title and the author’s name in the middle… Be an artist, not an illustrator! 
To be honest, yet the last step with the composition lines wasn’t convincing for me: too tidy, too beautiful. Where is the chaos in the situation? The dirt?

Hi Torsten,
This looks very nice. Colors, composition and everything are great!
One thing that struck me though… I got the feeling that this group of people is ending their journey and not starting it. maby because of the old guy in the front has that pose as if he have come to an halt.
Great pic anyway, good luck!

Thanks again

I’ve been watching you and I just want to say good job and keep it up! I think the vertical composition setup works better. I also feel that the journey they are embarking in is much larger.

This absolutely blows my mind. The composition is spectacular… all of your hard work has definitely paid off. I think it’s just a matter of noodling out the details at this point. I’m enthralled by your colors. I really wish I had such a grasp on them… and all other things for that matter. Monstrous kudos.

Beautiful concept! I love the colors. The muted greens of the forest works wonderfully with the warm, bight highlights on the main group of figures. Great lighting. I look forward to seeing this done!

Wow, Torsten. I love the colour palette! Almost can breath the fresh forest air. But it also makes me wonder why they want to leave such a nice place! It will help if you add to the picture the cause of their exodus.
You mentioned that you are going to come up with a new sketch. So I will wait for that one!
All the best, dude!
EDIT: Just noticed that you have already put in the cause of the exodus: the construction claw. I didnt catch that at first! My bad.

love the concept. the giant claw holding the tree is a powerful image. Makes me sad for the faeries. It gives a great sense of scale too. Good luck with the colouring. So far it looks great.
