These are the first steps … just to get an impression of the scene.
Well … late beginning … i had this “holy-grail” scene in mind (since early December) - some sort of this Indiana-Jones-Interpretation in Steampunkt, but wasn’t that lucky with it. There should be all those steampunk-fancy grails … and there is the hero and the guardian … that doesn’t work out in my mind.
Something was missing, and i didn’t know what it was.
Yesterday while sitting in a train, watching the people around …it pops out of my head.
The motiv was missing …
Well you know … you think its clear; the hero wants the grail, the guardian is just waiting for the hero … but thats not enough.
What are the doing, whats in their minds!? What would you do while waiting hundreds of years for some hero … maybe every couple of decades some lonly man came up there and chose the wrong grail. … thats a boring life.
Maybe you would start to smoke … some of the heroes may left some cigarettes … and where to put the ashes, all of those steampunk-grail and you would choose maybe the only simple one, the only one looks like an ashtray, the holy grail for it.
And then theres coming the next here; suffered from all those travels, he maybe fell into the room … he is in motion; he has no time left.
While the guardian just move his head …
all this sourrounded by the star-like glamour of the room.
Yeah, lets see if that works … and what i can came up with the last couple of hours in this challenge.

i tried another composition
well, its obviously the qustions, what is the main-aspect of the scene.
The first is “all those steampunk-grails”, in the second, those are only background.
And more than this, its a question about, what i would like to render. ;D
Do i really want to render those chalice, or do i really wanne spend as much time into figuredetails?
Well, im not quite sure about it, … but in doubt, go for the action. Storytelling and human-figures are always the better choice than landscapes(even landscapes of cups ;)) if its not your aim to paint a calm piece for your bedroom.
