update 4
I think i am done
update 3
color and shadows moving nicely looking at the highlights later
update 2
Why the white bear? well the original piece the bear looked like a monkey- i have never been happy with that- so hence the grand power of vellum and wall-la - new bear- which he told me is much more pleased with his appearance- and it fits the other illustrations keeping continuity.
As you can see has to be right and that was a major change that needed to be done, yet i did not want to have to redraw the whole scene again.
more to come- inking the next page tonight...
updates
Back to inking on the pens I enjoy the most. I find that the keep a smooth feel to the piece, which is much better than the last set of pens I was using. Live and let learn, you can't skimp on the pens.
ok colors are coming
Anyways our adventure continues - flats to come soon.

I REALLY like the whole scenes with all your details, but also enjoy the vibrating, powerful colours. I can feel the strong sunshine (early afternoon atmosphere for me) but it reminds me of the times when sun wasnt burning like now...
Sun with also coolng breeze...
I REALLY like it.

you love maps, huh.... interesting. Very interesting.

oh i do- i am thinking of doing a special one just for the bears adventure

awesome... for the story/campaign I'm creating, I just took a map of Australia, and did the "details" by hand in colored pencil... I think, however, that a professional artist could take my "super rough idea" and turn it to something nice.

As was said, like the other pirates. I like this design too. Congratulations!

Trav this is looking AMAZING! Your talent with creating these scenes is so awesome. I love the greenish hue of the skeleton corpse with bottle, the light blue water and the darker rich blue of the birds. Awww chef bear he's still my fav!

thank you- I am so glad you like these- I have several more waiting to be inked and colored- I am really at peace with these as my adventure continues. I am glad you have come aboard....

Looks fantastic man. I've been thinking about your work a lot of late, and even though I keep quiet, I've always been keeping up. You're a huge inspiration Trav, ever since the days back when I discovered you on elfwood. You're the man.
π: 0 β©: 1
I appreciate that. I am glad that we have a site that is much stronger than elfwood as well. I really believe there is much more potential for growth here and i am glad you are here as well

I think I forgot so say that I really like this one too (not a surprise I'm sure).
Nice attention to details as always, and the blue birds are adorable!
oh - and there is a blue line going down from the black frame on one of the clouds, just wanted to let you know

why thank you- and thanks for the hug
π: 0 β©: 1
Can never get enough hugs - they brighten my day so I thought you'd like one too
π: 0 β©: 1
i really appreciate them as well- if there were more hugs and less thumps - life would be a little brighter
π: 0 β©: 1
I agree! A hug or a pat on the back is all that's needed to make a bad day a whole lot better.

the kid seems a bit walleyed, you know? I kinda feel his close eye should be moved a smidge in toward his nose.

I love the bear holding up the pirate skeleton's arm

Take heed now: Do not eat the soup. The expression on the cook's face seems to indicate that he's giving that there 'ingredient' some serious consideration.
The island knows it has visitors, and jungles are known to have yet more eyes. Luck be with your crew...

I hope e's not that desperate fer 'ingredients'! Thars some nice fat birds on the rocks, and I'm sure there'll be some large-ish snakes in th' jungle if e's lookin' ta fill th' pot. Much better fare than a sun-dried buccaneer!
....That sounded like pirate talk, right?
I do have to say that was one possibility I didn't think of.

I hope the cook realises what he`s holding there... If you`re looking for a pulse mate....I think you`re a little to late to help the poor chap.
Ah, I spot a little trinket already! *picks up the pearls from the sword* I smell treasure!!
π: 0 β©: 1
never know maybe he's looking to spice up the soup
awww what keen eyes you have lass
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! And I might skip the soup tonight now.
π: 0 β©: 1
i would agree
π: 0 β©: 0
I like the look on the cook's face! I can imagine him asking himself how he got talked into this trip. Or looking to find a pulse. (I have a strange sense of humor at times)
I can't wait to see surprises this island hides!
On another note it appears that the sword in the dusty corpse is almost the same as the one with the pendant(?) on it.... I smell backstabbing... Or a gruesome clue.... Or..? Hmmmm.....
π: 0 β©: 1
oh there is much hidden on the island
as for what is what- I am enjoying everyones observations and thoughts
π: 0 β©: 0
land ho! what adventures await?! danger? treasure? traps? incredible vistas? strange animals? delicious tropical fruits? doors locked without keys? puzzles to solve? only the pirate bears can find out! does the boy have a name? edward? love the sword and the birds on the right hand side!
π: 0 β©: 1
oh yes what dangers and adventures await, just follow the signs and we shall see

I love the little detail of the bottle just outside the grasp of the corpse the cook finds.

"Oww those remains tell a dangerous warning."
"Carefully watch the next steps and donΒ΄t wander around dreaming of the wonderful nature scene that is on the way forward!"

careful where you step you never know what you'll find here on this island in the middle of nowhere

I love the cook finding the dessicated remains of a previous adventurer! 
What type of pens are you using? I love the Sakura Microns - very smooth, even on less than perfect paper.
π: 0 β©: 1
the cook is my favorite right now
as for pens i am back to my old microns- so much better
π: 0 β©: 1
Microns are the best. I used to ink with rapidograph pens, what a pain to keep them clean.
I just realized the teddie's "skull and bones" logos are teddy skulls! 
Since you invited us along, I had to do a pic of the sushi chef joining the crew.
