Description
Part of an assignment for class, we had to create a themed books, so mine my adventure, and it was called The Adventurers Handbook. We had to have a final rendered piece, and this is it, combining all the peril I can think of in adventure stories. And yes, that is the drawn version of me. Not my persona, but me.Related content

Lmao... listening to Beethoven's third while looking at your art is comical... in the sense of the word.

Nah... just happened to be on the radio (yes... I listen to the radio) And happened to be looking at your art. It was epic.

This is so cool! It makes me think of Hiccup writing How to Speak Dragonese or some dragon manual. Of course, that doesn't really come as a surprise, though, since you've done some terrific cosplays as him and are pretty much his look-alike!

XD Yeah, I love HTTYD books. Maybe I should draw this same thing as Hiccup. And thanks!

What's great here is that even the rock seems like it's out to get you! You seem to be channelling Harry Potter too - there's that Slytherin serpent and the pencil could so easily be a wand! Expelliarmus!
I especially like the man eating plant, he's certainly a character to bring back again for another outing. I'm not quite so sure what's going on with the hand and eye but that's not actually a criticism - the ambiguity adds to the menace!
My only suggestion would be that it would be funny if in the midst of all the hideous terrors surrounding him he was actually about to put his foot down on something everyday but painful/silly - a tack or a banana skin?
Actually I've got a second suggestion or really more of a query, would it add or detract from the image if you used a different colour palette for your hero? Tonally he seems at one with his surroundings maybe in say denim pants and a bright t-shirt he'd seem more like an alien/intruder, someone who shouldn't be where he is and is just asking for trouble. Though on the other hand maybe he's a sensible lad who wants to blend in!

XD And evil rock, that's new XD
Those are just other creepy things I thought of to fill the background.
XD That would be a funny idea as well.
Well, I didn't want him misplaced, I wanted him ready for adventure, wearing the type of clothes and stuff.
