Description
"We are in between worlds, Ellie. You cannot trust what you see." The cat said."How come?" Ellie asked.
"Below the brightest lights, you'll find all the darkest shadows." The cat peered over the edge of the boat, where the crystal blue water quickly turned black.
"I don't understand." Ellie said.
"This place keeps growing, Ellie, and we don't know how to make it stop." The cat told her. "It will lure you in with it's beauty, and then it will grow and change until you can't find your way out. Once you are trapped, it will show you its shadows and you will go mad."
"So what do I do?" Ellie asked.
"Remember why we're here, and don't let it fool you." The cat said, as if it were that simple.

A potential scene/excerpt/concept for a novel I'd like to write (with illustration, of course!)
Let me know what you think, would you want to read more?

Hi there! I'm fromΒ ProjectComment Β and I'm going to try my best to give you some advice!
I can already tell that you have a fantastic understanding of many techniques (I can see that with all your others works as well, which look so beautiful)
The first thing I notice form this piece was the background, which is actually what I wanted to start first with. While the background itself is a lovely idea, I almost think its too overpowering for the image and makes seeing Ellie and cat the cat hard to see (sadly this could just be my own eyes, they are quite bad) but if in the future you make a piece similar I would suggest two things. Make the background a bit darker or add more effects outside of it (Almost like rays of light) and second off, make the outline of the characters darker, it could make them stand out more withing the artwork!
While I feel this might be a small thing to point out, I already see in below comments people have pointed out the coloring, so I'll try my best to look towards something else, and mine would be the boat. While I didn't notice at first, it doesn't look as though it's in the water, instead, it looks as though it's above it and not even touching the water. I don't know if this is on purpose or not, if it was I'm so sorry for mentioning it,Β but for this, I'm going to assume to wasn't your intention. One thing that might've been able to help this si with actual images of small boats in the water, where you can ripple effect (Which would happen with that cat leaning so far off the edge) it would also make as a great way to add more highlights and texture to the piece!
I'm sorry I couldn't be of more assistance but I hope what I said was helpful to you!

Neat how you created the smooth water. It blends together so nicely.

The drawing looks harmonious and calm, only the sound of the sea, like in the cave, I think so, let the thoughts wander, the colors, from light to dark, are soothing to look at.

I love the setting and color use presented in this artwork, and even if the colors are a bit fuzzy (normal inn this kind of art) there is almost a serene feeling of detailed content and curiosity coming from it. After reading the description the feeling made more sense but it still did not feel as eery as the words would suggest (which is clever in its own way) Good Job!
