Description
Tekuu and PKD123 somehow requested that I should upload this here, so......huge, huge, huuuge picture coming
Biggest picture I've ever drawn: 258,8 centimetres, filled with 133 characters and places of my Fantasy-Epos Himitsu no Mahou ♥ I've drawn this monster of a picture with color-pencils (Polychromos; Faber-Castell) - everything on this is done with traditional media. The whole picture took me 6 month to finish and I spend 200 hours on it, lost many pencils, destroyed my hand... and other stuff. But I love it ♥
You can see the process of the picture here: espiritoudelaire.tumblr.com/po…
Enjoy ♥

And I struggle with getting ten characters into one picture....
I must say I am amazed!
To make a picture this big and with so many characters, elements and feeling of movements is impressive to say the least!

Dayummm you clearly put a ton of work into this, and it makes me curious as to what this story's actually about. Looks like we've got angels, demons, people with headsets, Paris, schoolgirls...lotsa neat stuff. I'm guessing the guy and girl at the bottom are main characters who maybe don't like each other at first but must team up to save their world with the help of Magical Wand Girl? Just speculating, of course. 
If I had one criticism, I'd say that the characters have some "sameface syndrome" and lots of very similar body types. More variety there would make it easier to distinguish between characters if we saw only their silhouettes (I mean, the demon silhouettes here have some nice variety, but you may want to try that for the other characters at some point). Other than that, the coloring technique is incredible, and you managed a good flow in the composition. It's hard to draw a piece with so many characters without making it look cluttered, so kudos. Good luck fleshing out so many different personalities; I know that can be...daunting. A hierarchy helps, for sure.

Großartig. Wenn ich richtig verstehe, ist es Charaktere deiner Geschichte? Du hast große Phantasie. Und du hast große Geduld auch. Ich traume schon für lange Zeit, etwas groß und episch mit meinen Charakteren zu zeichnen, aber ich kann ein Zehntel von dem Werk nicht machen, das Du machtest. XD Färbung ist sehr schön (Farbstifte, ich werde euch immer lieben) und Komposition ist wunderbar. Ich schaue dieses Bild schon halbstunde an, und es ist sehr interessant. XD
Kann ich irgenwo über deine Charaktere lesen? : )
Verzeihe mich, wenn es Fehler gibt, Deutsch ist nicht meine Muttersprache, aber mein Englisch ist noch schlechter. XD

Wow, vielen dank für dieses tolle Kommentar und dass du dir die Mühe gemacht hast es auf Deutsch zu schreiben! Ich finde dein Deutsch gar nicht so schlecht - ich konnte es ohne Probleme verstehen :>
Ja, es ist ein Tribut an meine Charaktere, die mich schon 10 Jahre begleitet haben; deswegen habe ich auch so ein großes Bild gezeichnet, das hätte ich normal nicht getan xD Aber es hat auch Spaß gemacht!
Es freut mich, dass dir das Bild gefällt (und auch andere meiner Gallerie, denn ich habe die Favoriten gesehen, vielen dank!) und dass die Geschichte, Himitsu no Mahou, dich interessiert ♥ die Geschichte hat ihre eigene Homepage: himitsu.judgement.at/ da findet man die Kapitel, Bilder und Charakterbeschreibungen UwU

I must say I'm very impressed with the way you formed this piece's composition. There is beautiful balance, symmetry, and contrast. I love the use of both profiles and background silhouettes. The colors and gradients add a great dynamic with showing the viewer where to look. I as a fellow traditional artist applaud you on your patience for blending and layering.
That said, I feel there are two things glaring at me that could use improvement. 1) Anatomy and 2) differentiation of characters
It could be mostly a choice on style but I think the "tea-cup" face for the side profiles distracts me from enjoying the characters. Noses and lips/chins don't jut out so dramatically usually (some characters maybe based on a unique design). Also, hands are hard--let's face it even I struggle with it. I say keep practicing with the grasping poses because those seemed to need the most work. Another anatomy issue are the body positions and form. There were a few awkward poses and "clumpy" torsos or awkwardly squished facial profiles, both usually from the 3/4th or side-view. This of course can only be remedied by studying and practicing. You're well on your way though.
Differentiation of characters is more than changing the hair color, style, or clothing/accessories. In the part with all the silver/white characters for example... yes I can tell they are probably different characters but if you change their clothes and make it monochrome it'd be very difficult to tell. Characters need distinguishing elements such as facial shape, body types/builds, and even textures. This is a huge thing that even I am still developing. I'm mentioning this because it was mentioned to me as a critique. Right now, your characters are marvelous but.. a bit generic. They have a lot of similarities. I'd suggest trying out and experimenting with nose, lips, eyes, face shapes, and even the less lovable characteristics like blemishes, scars, etc to match the personality of that character.
P.S. I know, long comment is long but.. I had to add--I loved, loved, loved the character line-up silhouettes in the dark purple section. Great attention to detail.

Oh wow, das ist mal ein Projekt! D:
Klasse, dass du etwas so großes fertiggestellt hast, ich bin sehr beeindruckt vom bloßen Umfang!
Gerade die aufgereihten Silhouetten vor dem lila Hintergrund sind sehr cool.
Ich kenne leider die Hintergrundgeschichte nicht, aber es ist klasse wie viel Zeit und Arbeit du hier reingesteckt hast. o0
Wirklich inspirierend!
