Phantasma - Finished Illustration
🕑 Added 2020-12-19 14:54:38 +0000 UTCHello friends!
I hope you're having a nice weekend.
I've been working on this piece non-stop over the last few days and I thought it was either going to be one of my favourites or I was going to hate it. Buuut I'm happy to report that I really, really like the result.
I actually went back a few years to some colour explorations/studies I did when I just started getting into environments (these). I was a bit more experimental in my colour choices and I wanted to bring that back into my work. And since the world in Phantasma is pretty magical I thought it would be quite fitting to not try and make everything completely realictic. I like the idea of adding a magical glow to the forest and just be a bit more free with my choices for colour and light. The inspiration is a bit like Kazuo Oga meets Amei Zhao - two of my absolute favourite artists.
I hope you like this! Thank you for making it possible for me to work on these kinds of illustrations and personal projects.

She was supposed to be jumping along the edge of the riverbank. Sorry it doesn't come across. :'D

I like it! The colors, the dynamic, all great! Also love the owl. But I'm confused. She's jumping over water, right? I mean that's OK, she obviously can do that. But shouldn't there be ripples in the water? Or am I misunderstanding the picture?
