(early stages WIP)


It's a song if you want to look it up.

Really struggling to find a good pallet or make one, I really want to pallette to be extrodanary

That's a good song, thanks.
WIP looks nice, wondering what will come out of it.

Ughh I am so bad with color... Troublesome pixelling.

mmmm nice!
Them all should be redish. I like where you're going.

Heres some drastic changes. Too much contrast?

I love the texture of the bark! I do miss those vines, though. Is that a light grey horse I see?

that's a jungle now with a desert.

I highly doubt that even in the song, the jungle was supposed to be right next to the desert, it's just mentioned that there was a rainy jungle at some point in the character's journey before the desert.
The two are pretty much opposites (one is arid, the other received a lot of rainfall), so it looks very weird to have them side by side without a significant transition. When you get both in close proximity, they're separated by mountains.

If you want to tell the whole story of the song with one image, perhaps you could include the horse and rider, and show remnants of the jungle on them? Some vines that got tangled on them, or some leaves that they used for shelter from the rain and haven't thrown away.

Where is your lightsource? Or are the trees supposed to be shadowing him?

I think it could use slightly more jungle. I'll work on that, Also the light source is coming from the direct centre of the screen, I thought it would add to the composition to have the beams of light maybe to guide the eyes to the jungle but it is quite clear what the vocal point is supposed to be.

Thanks Mr.Fahrenheit I sure will.

Also to expand. I want the song to clearly display that he is escaping to the great desert, (I got rid of the horse because it plays a minor roll in the actual plot of the story) I do like the idea of a man on a horse going through the desert with jungle on them but I wouldn't like to scrap all this work. I feel to best display the songs meaning which is running away from his problems i'll show him as he arrives at the desert void of problems. But as you can see the rain clouds are coming in even in the desert... even the desert has problems. The clouds are used as foreshadowing the events that will take place after the drawing here. See the idea is not to show the whole song because then i'de be drawing a desert that is really a ocean bottom. I am just trying to show a piece of the song in one frame and use the scenery as context. If you listen to the song while examining my photo you should get some #thefeels. anyways, sorry to decline your advice eishiya.

World record quadruple post ;)

Yes, I wanted to get it behind his head so you can follow the light beams and discover the rest of the picture.

Last little refinements, this is done in my books. Any last objections?

Mmm, imho the veins of the leaves look a tad bit odd since they're broken up instead of a solid colour. All in all, looking great.

Thanks guys :3



Based of crits on pixelation I changed it.


the three birds add alot to my photo

Birds were a joke super ;).

I've been lurking this thread and I just knew 'the birds' were coming eventually. Just as expected 3 birds.

Hahaha, well... that's kind of awesome, and a little embarrassing....
I'm with ADrawingMan on moving the leaves out a little. I think they could make a great frame for the big landscape, so they can afford to be pushed away and simplified.

The blue on the cowboy's clothing is a good addition, but it's way too close to the brown you aa it with to work in my opinion. I'd use larger, simpler clusters to convey the sky lighting, and try not to mix the two too much.

Keep pixeling!

I like those light beams better!

FINISHED :DDDDDD
