Description
and sail away we didAcross the sea, we sailed far, a ship of fools, hunting hard. For the island we seek is lost to this realm. Yet with my map, and compass too, we'll the find isle and thing or two.
Beyond the last star and covered in stone, across the deep was a pirates home. A place of danger, where few ever dared, lies our treasure buried there....
And so we go, with an eager start to grab the treasure that captures our hearts....
and on to the next one [link]

Well we are sailing now, there is no turning back. The main flats are done and now i am tackling the shadows on this piece as well as the highlights on the other.... so here we go....

new update
I think i am all but done with this one- I might add tidbits here and there, but I am pretty pleased with the feel of this one.
old update
Well I am adding the shadows and other effects. I also worked the trees to more my liking and will continue to add highlights and such to there.
more to come on our trip

And what, pray tell, will we find there,
On yon island set with so grim an air?
But lead on captain, lead on!
I enjoy this series a lot.
And I'm not just making this up, am I, or seeing things, I mean? This island has definitely got a personality, and it is not a happy one. It's alive. *shudders*
I really like the way you've done the forest here, all bright and dark and shadowy, depending where you look. It's detailed, but in a background-ish sort of way. Very fitting.

i am so glad to hear that- i think that this will be a fantastic adventure as well

The light from the back gives it this certain journey feeling and the rocks are awesome as always

This is coming along really well. The rolling sea and fiery volcano give a good sense of movement. The landscape could definitely be called "forbidding" with all those frowning rock formations. Very cool!!

it is - it has been very healing as well

I think this ties with The Hunt as my favorite drawings. Are you going to add in any sea gulls flying around the boat?
Is your back better now?
π: 0 β©: 1
i don't know i have not yet decided about the gulls- (rats with wings)- maybe...
as for the back it is improving- yet i still have to be careful

This is looking really good!
I like how the faces looks slightly more angry in this one, fits so well with the overall mysterious atmosphere of the island

(from crows' nest) CAPTAIN! Seems like there's some sort of fire going on up on top of that mountain, there! (Has a very good grasp of the obvious)

that's why your up in the crows nest

On a slightly more serious note... the trees in front seem a little too vague, I kinda feel like they should have individual outlines as well... they just don't sit right with me, anyways!
π: 0 β©: 1
and why does it have to be serious- remember what happened to the last guy who was "so serious" he found out about the pencil trick.
π: 0 β©: 1
...... He wasn't serious, boss. He was a friend I made when I was on another ship that harboured in Gotham. He was just a little too eager to obey orders.

That's why I'm a bit of a rebel. One can never be a "boy who pulls someone's ears off" because such a task has a high probability of disaster. That's why I declined your offer to be an "enforcer/guy who dies in a battle right away because he has no personality".

*rubs my sleepy eyes* what's all this shouting about then? You woke me up and it isn't even my watch yet!

I like the faces and how you did the tiers of the jungle. I know this isnβt finished yet but the volcano could use some reds I think. Do you plan to subtly highlight the faces at all? I think that would work really well, but itβs hard to really say at this stage.

don't worry more colors are coming and I am not even done with the volcano yet

Crew: wow, how are we every going to find that treasure here in this wilderness!
Captain Trav: Trust in me treasure map mates!

you did a great job here.
just a small remark. the wind is blowing from left to right (according to the ship's sails and the smoke of the volcano) but the flag of the ship seems going against the wind. which could not possibly happen... ^_^
π: 0 β©: 1
I noticed that too- I was hoping for a high cross wind- I'll have that fixed top shape

i see faces in them rocks..... looks good man.

thanks my friend

I like the faces in the rocks.
I do feel you should be able to see more of the shoreline, like beach or cliffs rather than going straight into the trees.
Also I'm not entirely digging the trees in the midbackground that have been shadowed out, I think that's kind of an abbrupt transition and would suggest colouring them (and let the gradation in colour show the depth), rather than leaving them a black.
π: 0 β©: 1
part of the problem is that I had not added the shadows on the trees to help the depth, I am adding that now, and I think it adds the depth you are talking about. though there is still much to do.
As for the trees in the back that are black I have some ideas on how I am planning on tackling them - I do not want them to be jet black but I do have some plans.
Thanks for the notes -

Wonderful atmosphere ...

they are worked on a another layer, usually the line art layer itself. I find working in several layers and treating colors as objects allows me to do all sorts of things

Oh boy, oh boy!! Land HO! And the land looks pretty interesting, too! I've got my trusty sushi-knife, just in case things get "exciting".
Did anyone pack mosquito repellent?
π: 0 β©: 1
i'll check for repellent, you never know what your going to run into here

Maybe I'll hunt up the snake-bite kit, too.
I love how the palm trees have been shaded in, they look really neat and add depth to the mass of greenery.

it will prob be needed and a few gallons of bactine
π: 0 β©: 1
I remember summer camp where we covered ourselves with Off! bug spray. I wonder if they still make it?
I'll add Bactine to the list, Cap'n.

They still have off- great stuff-
oh yeah one would have to watch for those pesky ninjas

Love all the faces, even the ones in the water have them! And boy do they look mean!
π: 0 β©: 1
well it is a mysterious island and all mysterious islands need mysterious faces do they not?
π: 0 β©: 1
Indeed they do! The scarier the better as well.
