December 2018 Challenge: Hazyview

[J.Edward]

Sorry for a brief sidetrack Tonquani

Unless I want to revisit some memorable times stuck in traffic on the New Jersey turnpike, desperately hoping that the next rest stop is nearby

Ah, fond memories of NJ traffic.

Aeshnidae, the December association doesn't have to be absolutely literal. So, for example, you could do a map of some high mountains with a snow-covered fort that's said to guard a mysterious treasure.

Guarding the gingerbread, obviously.

Right, so I have done a rough draft of this in pencil, but am not going to bother scanning it in (for the above-mentioned reason). I've probably been over enthusiastic with how heavy I was with the pencil, so instead of inking straight onto here, I will probably trace it.

Sorry it's blurred, hopefully the next one will be better.

This is looking great (blurs aside)! You've accomplished so much already.

[MistyBeee]

Looks super promising so far !

Thanks Chickpea, I'll try to do it without blurs next time...

Looks super promising so far !

Thanks Misty, still have a long way to go. Inking is going to take a while, as I'm trying to go really detailed (by my standards).

Could a CL please change my title to

"December 2018 Challenge: Hazyview"

Thank you

[Gidde]

Done! Looking great so far.

[Tonquani]

Thanks Gidde

So, line work complete, and scanned in to the best of my scanner’s (limited) abilities – had to chop it up and reassemble which was a pain…

Managed a couple of hours this evening - I think the river is almost in it's finished state, I may just tweak the hue and saturation a little bit and shade the banks once I get around to shading.

Aspect shading added to the roofs, and started colouring the grass.

These colours are possibly not final, but are probably approximately where I am headed...

This is looking great despite the fact that you currently have no challengers. I'm sure there must be some coming but they best bring their A game.

I haven't given much thought to this one and I don't think I'll have any time until maybe after this week but who knows.

Still, this is turning into a lovely piece.
