This is my "I am back!" -entry for the PXLeyes. I was away for a LONG time, and now I felt like refreshing my "art"-hobby.
This one took mostly a lot of work by hand and standard brushes, to add texture for the "ball" made from the sunshade, and blending in the extra garment for the monk boy's cloth. Also hours of work with the shadows, as most had to be add by hand, trying to walk the thin line between realistic and "looks better this way!" I tried to blend the invisible barrier of depth with imaginary design.
It's good to be back, warmest greetings to everyone who still remembers me (after voting, that is :s ) (5 years and 1013 days ago)
Idea is nice, although the shadow under the person looks more like an almost black spot and lacks interaction with the water. You may want to keep it more subtle or even skip it. Because of the guy in the middle and the mountains left & right, there's some kind of symmetry in the image. Is nice, but the elephant and lion kinda break this idea (they're not each from a same distance). An idea to flip the animals, so you can put the lion a bit more to the right (more space)? Good luck!
Howdie stranger!
