I did this piece originally because I was inspired by the Totoro porject. Then after doing th epiece I realized that I wanted to add my own creature in the scene. I really love this painting as it tells alot about my childhood. So instead of sticking a familiar creature (totoro) I thought I would design my own. In the end I think this is the version I prefer anyways....what do you guys think?
This one I struggled with. I struggled with trying to show more of the ship and hiding it in fog. In the end , I decided that I just wanted to tell the story of these people coming upon this huge ship. I wanted the story to come first. That said I will still paint a frame of when the Battle train was operational. That way , my design won't go to waste!
