Description
the rotwood is a manmade forest produced to cleans the world of the poisons that man had dumped on it for centuries. Run rampant it is crushing the few remain humans into smaller and smaller areas of un'infected' lands.This is still a work in progress, there are the giant insects to be added and the characters to show in the foreground, but for now a stop. Again, nausicaa fanart, with the idea that maybe I might actually get a comic out of my efforts.
I think that I've managed to grasp the feel for Miyazakis' style in producing a rotwood scene. It took three tries; I spent about 4 hours on this.

Good stuff. Forest, including ficticious fungal jungles (?!?!!), are challenging to draw. The piece has captured the Rotwood feel, and I like the depth of the image.
Good luck with working towards a comic/manga. The best thing to do when drawing it, is to keep background detail like this piece to a minimum. You'll go cross eyed and your hand will fall off if you don't.

I agree, I thought my hand was going to fall off for other reasons, but instead it just grew hair
unfortunately, its that beautiful and haunting background to miyazakis stories that makes me want to emulate them so much. However that being said I have noticed now (after that big picture) that his forest scene tend to containthemselves as far as depth of field, giving the illussion, rather than the detail... practice practice, observation and absorbtion. I'm still just a neophyte.

I agree - it is very hard to achieve both depth and density, when it comes to forest/jungle backgrounds. Good luck with figuring out how the master did it with his fungal jungle.
