December 2017 Challenge : Mostar Bridge

[- JO -]

This is looking really great JO

thanks Straf... I'm far from finished

Very nice, already!
It's a great peace symbol, good choice.

Thanks... I find it too, even if, apparently, the communities there are not completely over the cobflict, I think the new bridge gives hope !

Really like the direction this one's heading in Jo!

Thanks... I'm not completely sure of myself for the composition.
I worked a lot on the different elements. Nor the inking, choice of colors, river, composition, trees, etx are definitive, but I put a little bit of everything to give me an idea of the direction I want to take.
So far, here's what I've got :

(don't pay attention to the text, I just wrote these words as an example... I still have to work on the story, and the language...)

Wow, Jo! This looks like quite a project!

At the moment the notebook seems a little bit big, but I am sure that it will look ok by the time you are done

You're right Mouse... I shrieked the notepad a bit (not too much otherwise the second picture would be too small), and I changed the orientation of the notepad too, I found there was something odd in the display... Now, there's all the rest to ink, paint and shadow... Busy hollidays !

The setup is great and the torn bridge is impressive ! Keep it up

[Straf]

Did you do those roof tiles individually?

Thanks... I count on shadows to explain the protective roof hastily built over the bridge

Did you do those roof tiles individually?

Yes, I did... and it shows... I don’t think I have the required patience to draw really neat roofs...

Some progress... I changed size and orientation of the notebook and continued painting... I still have inking to do, it's not all in order for this one...

And as this day is a bit special, I wanted to wish to all the cartographer's guild members a Merry Christmas ! I hope all the best for you !

Happy Christmas, Joel

A much better composition with the notebook

That's a very impressive explosion, but what happened to the rebuilt version of the bridge?

Not sure about that hard black line around the edge...

[Azélor]

Pretty cool so far but I'm not sold on the tree texture.

Hello Mouse !

I worked on the thin line, but it's not the final version I guess... As for the rebuilt version of the bridge, it's the "photograph" on the right page of the notebook... It seemed obvious to me (though I still have to draw it...) If it's not, I'm in trouble

Pretty cool so far but I'm not sold on the tree texture.

Thanks Azelor, you are right, the trees didn't appear on the JPG as it is on my screen on PS... I redid the whole trees part, with more colour, better definition... For the design, I thins it's the best I can do if I want to make it to the finish line... I don't think I can draw trees from the top (in autumn condition)...

Still, I hope it's not too ugly....
