Description

][Personal work][
Characters: Harry Deeren; Charlotte Hurley
Location: Somewhere in the Hurley Domain's woods (to be explained sometime)

" She was right, they did not know each other at all. Swaying his head, he considered her point and gave up letting out a laugh that echoed in the woods and made her stare at him in alarm.

"Miss, your’ right. So, let's start from scratch, ok? " He asked, receiving a distrustful nod of the girl.

"Nice to meet ya. My name is Harry Deeren, and I got stuck in this net while exploring to this beautiful forest. I'm going to be in a lot of trouble if I don't get back home in time today... That's why I need your help. Your turn! " He exclaimed, stretching his arm for a handshake. The girl looked at his hand but did not make a move, she had never heard that surname but it had “deer” in it, just like the invader fawn from moments earlier. Her mother had told her not to talk to strangers, shifters especially, so she had crossed the line already. If she did anything else her mother would be mad. Nobody there wanted her mad.

'Charlotte Hurley. And this forest is in our turf.'

[...]"



I posted the WIP a few days ago.. I thought I'd never finish this one, but this is somehow rewarding. For the first time I made a whole full illustration without Photoshop, using CSP instead so I struggled to get used, whew. It took me quite a few ends of afternoons.
Did some light/color studies which are far from perfect, but I'm glad of the outcome somehow.

This is something I had in mind for years, and finally managed to illustrate after writing the one shot of their meeting months ago. I see it as a first little chapter, and it's another thing that's not perfect but I've been trying to improve my writing as well. 

It's in my Toyhouse if anyone's interested. This Forest is in Our Turf  (constructive feedback appreciated if via private messages).

Everything about this is absolutely stunning; the texture, first of all, is just amazing?? It has kind of a "rough" quality, which suits these two characters and the mood of the piece. It also complements the incredible array of texture and color you packed into the plants. Most of all, I love the composition and the lighting. The eye goes straight to Harry, follows his outstretched hand to Charlotte, and....I just love love love it. BEAUTIFUL work.
