I've actually used this theme in a few scenes. The character's fear, emotions, imagination has created obstacles for themselves. The very nature of traveling through the Plane of Shadow is confusing because there is no set topography for it and the laws of physics do not apply in all cases, or maybe in only certain degrees. The 'easiest' way to get from one place to another is through gates that randomly appear inside.
To a large extent, the Plane of Shadow, as I run it, is a series of archetypes with some Jungian imagery. The place was actually created by a now dead god, who's chopped up body is still in various places around the realm. People are as much in his head as anywhere else. The scary woods; the troubled town; the unfinished work; the deep subconscious. Basically, powerful and nearly universal experiences, plus references to some surreal works, like Alice in Wonderland.

Glad that you are drawing again. And I think you still have "it". I liked the fog, the stern expressions and the gear on the characthers. I didn't like the knight dude in the middle, he looks like a proto-human ape. And I think this drawing could use more shadow, maybe the light should come from a light source of their own, like a torch ( do torches work in the plane of shadow) because I know that plane ought to not have any light sources. Maybe a more defined lack of visibility for the distant trees and a darker background could also help. I mean, I liked this, but I think it could use more shadowiness.

One of my players said "The commenter is obviously unaware of the oddly ambiguous nature of lighting on the Plane of Shadow." Granted, this is how I was running it. Typically the mood of any given area of this setting is static. There is a sense of day and night, though not always a sun. The haze is lighter and darker, but never listed as completely black.
I do appreciate the comments though. I wouldn't say I'm completely satisfied with Lucien. I'm probably not completely satisfied with a number of portions of this and I always like a well developed opinion more than "me like" or the unfortunate opposite ("me no like.")

Well I'm no expert on the plane of shadow. Thanks for explaining.

This is a great drawing. I have exactly 0 problems with this art.
