I like it, but I think your trying to push it too much to a storyboard looking style. If thats what your going for, then thats fine I guess.

A little too rough for me.
Maybe I'm a bit accustomed to your old style : clean light line.

For sure, It will depend on how goes your project

Really nice anyway !

The grainyness is interesting, but it looses a lot of that fantasy ethereality, I feel.

very nice choice, it feels like a pastel and charcoal drawing, gives it a dream-like atmosphere that you can see something in only so much detail.

Different from your usual - hence style exploration I suppose - but still awesome.Β

When I saw the thumb nail for this piece, it looked like a concept art from the up coming indie game Ori and The Blind Forest

Woah. Even though jamesz started to make pieces within his series of "moon and crow" before Ori was announced, I can clearly see aΒ resemblance (a small, glowing white being and a huge, black bird) between the two. And that the developers of Ori say they've been working on that title for four years pretty much eliminates any chance of them ripping the idea off of jamesz. This is confusingΒ Β

Naaah I don't think they've taken the art/concept from jamesz, or vice versa. In fact that concept of light and dark, big and small, strong and weak, has been a thing since... almost the beginning of time. Take for instance the symbol of Ying & Yang which can be seen as the origin of this concept. It's a very popular idea so I don't think anybody is stealing from anybody else. Or if they are, then that's the way of life :\Β
