So row, my lads, with strength and speed, for on to shore, we need to be.

finished for now
happy with it and now moving to the next one
So Why the Change
Sometimes a piece is just wrong, it feels wrong, even after the cc and the favs, and you realize you need to go back and just redo it. So I did. As you can see I changed several things about the piece, which makes it flow so much better. I also had to change my art tools. I found I was using a pen that ended up causing more problems than good and the inks were not as clean as I wanted. So here you can see a much better version. The captain is better as well - I am pleased with the tweaks. Anyways on to color it.
update
well i am almost done with the bottom and now on to topside.

i was going to crit when i saw this page loading, because when you see only the top half of the image, it looks a little underdone, but once the bottom half loaded I changed my mind, because it really balances the image out!
I really like how the warm blue of the sky contrasts with the cool blues of the of the waves, and the highlights on the water are really well done.
This is just so well balanced, i can't help but love it!

What kind of wondrous underwater worlds may lie beneath this wooden planks... (I always wonder when I'm at sea. Sometimes it's no good idea to even think about it, though, especially when swimming instead of floating above the waters in a boat/ship...)

i think about this a lot as well.. I am blown away about what could be down there in those murky depths...

I just realized the cook needs a hook and some bait on the end of his line. He could always use a piece of leftover sushi.

A dead city, when there is so much life below? How strange. Although, are mechanical fish truly alive? That one jumping sure looks like it, although some of them in the middle there look as though they wish they weren't.
Ah, and there's that tentacle again, I feel a sense of foreboding, I do.

I like the changes you've made. The underwaterscene is more interesting now, even without the shipwreck.
oh, and I really like the bottom left robofish, it's his lazy eyes - looks like he's dozing and all relaxed

why thank you my dear- I am glad you enjoy this, especially my pal on the bottom all lazy eyed

Yup he's a cute little fishie
There's so much to look at in your pictures!
It's all in the details - the eyes, expressions and faces everywhere, love it!

your water this time seems more dark, or more like natural water. There seems to be a base colour which has pervaded everything that's in it, which is great, because it seems more unified. I say that because the fish stand out while simultaneously blending in, which looks great.

I still have much to do with this piece- this is only the base colors- there are still shadows and highlights to add, and though it looks nice, the goal is to make it really sing ....

I like the changes you made. Leaving out the ship and adding a more difined background gives the whole piece more depth. The boy looks now more like he is think what the map wants to tell him and the captain gives the right "Onwoard! to the shore" atmosphere.

then onward he go my dear- onward we go

very nice. I like how you did the far mechanical fishes so that we feel a more 3d view. the boy seems concentrated to understand the map. but there is one small thing I think you should consider: the captain seems pointing somewhere, but no sailor is listening to him. in general, if he is pointing to something, he should be talking with someone. for example, the boy could be just behind him, holding the map and looking where the captain is pointing... except this. everything is perfect.

thanks-
as for no one listening to the captain- isn't it that way with most authority figures
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, so true.
but in a treasure hunt story, they have the same goal and sometimes listening to their leader to find the way is the right thing the sailors would do... except if they plan a mutiny...

yet you never know where one's imagination might end up- and in my world anything can happen, which can be quite frightful at times

I notice they have a map, but did anyone pack a compass?

I prefer this one to the other one, the other one just didn't feel right for some reason.

that is why i had to redo it, to make it feel right- it was worth it in my opinion

I think your changes are for the better. The Captain and the boy both seem more involved in the adventures, and their expressions make the adventure seem a little more lighthearted. The splashing fish and the shipwreck were nice, but I think were distracting in the composition. Now I feel like it's easier to focus on the lead characters in the adventure. I also noticed he faces in the underwater rocks, which carries on one of the series' themes. Looking forward to seeing this one colored.

thanks, sometimes you just gotta take a few steps back to be able to really move forward. It was worth doing over
