This is the finished piece for the contest of (I think the preview looks better then the full view; everything looks a bit smoother and stuff that way )

Ishya ran into Catsulek begging to help him find his way home.. Instead Catsulek sends him thru the Path of Fear where he needs to face his biggest fear, before he can come home...
Catsulek could have sended him thru another way, but because of her hate for males she sends him thru the hard way.



This took me quite some time to finish.. especially Catsulek took me looong to do; and I'm still not completely satisfied with the whole thing...
I like Catsulek's wings the most I guess... and her hand (the one pointing) came out better then I expected
Ishya and Catsulek were both done with ink and acrylics. Catsulek took me about 5 hours to do and Ishya about 2,5.
The background was done with watercolor (aquarel) and acrylics; I used a ref pic of WoW (from this book of The Art Of WoW). That took me about 3 hours to finish.
So all together this took me about 11 hours to make.. Phew..


Anyway... this is a bit at the last moment, but that's because I was at my boyfriend's place and wasn't able to upload it

I love the background, but your characters just clash with it.
If you tried to keep both elements within the same style you would get a greater impact. Outline all or nothing.

Awesome! I love the setting and the explanation - Catsulek's just not very nice, is she? Grand job with the painting - the characters are done nicely and I think the watercolours have really lent an atmospheric feel to the background. *wonders what poor Ishya has to face down the Path of Fear*

Sorry it took a while to get back to you on this one - I didn't realise SA was up and running again! Thank you for entering :) The deadline got delayed until tomorrow so this was in plenty of time
