Description Another illustration from Firefall. This one is a little creepier than my usual. I also took a different approach to coloring this as opposed to my other pieces. I'll be most likely going this route for the rest of the book. Let me know what you think!

Love those little mushrooms, so cute! I think you should keep experimenting with dark. Your style seems very well suited for it.

I just uploaded a picture with a Swampy background, and this just makes mine look like a 4 year old splashed paint all over it... (Even though it does look like that...)

How do you come up with the detail for all of that!? Geezzz...

Oh my goodness don't undermine your own work! Practice makes perfect. But thank you   Lol, well, I do one big quick scribble of my ideas then fine tune my lines and start working in sections and adding fine details. That's the best way I can describe it!

That sounds difficult. Do you ever stream your work? I'd love to drop in and spectate. Pick your process apart. (That is if i will ever have time for that, cause of work and all...)

Excellent work with great contrasts. I especially like how you made the light go through the mushrooms This haunting, ethereal feel is very pleasant.

All those littel plants and muschrooms are so colorful, and make so nice contrast with darkness. (And they`ve got so many details - spots, lines... Really, amazing job). I don`t think it`s creepy - it just look like old, mysterious and a bit magical, but still so alive forest. And those creature has got nice turquise eyes - like sky or water; it doesn`t seem evil... It seems to be a happy, enchanted place.

Thank you!   I pushed my lighting and contrast when painting so it's less flat. I've had a lot of feedback on my portfolio lately and that was something that I was lacking in.

Ah, I see! I guess this scene lends itself to that too. It's great that you're getting constructive criticism like that - I honestly wouldn't have noticed that in your other work

Yeah I'm close to graduating so I'm trying to get feedback from people in the industry. Glad you didn't notice though, I'm constantly seeing all the issues in my work.

And I literally just realized your icon moves and it scared me to death
