    Default Nov/Dec 2020 Challenge: Anansi's Rift

    Hey all, here is the first WIP picture for my commission from Wingshaw. He wanted me to do something with a tribe of simian-like humanoids living in a valley, and having to use clever things to stay alive. So far I have only the penciled line-work done (sorry for the poor pic). I still need to finish the four inset circles on the right, ink it all, and then add some color and text. But I think I have a good start so far. Any thoughts and suggestions are of course very welcome!

    Promising start ! I wonder how you'll use all this space on the top half of the map ?

    Well, I've got a pretty good newer version of this, but my printer has decided it no longer enjoys contributing to my life, and the new one we've bought thinks it can't see my computer when I ask it to scan things. So, provided there is good light tomorrow, I will try to take a photo that shows the progress. Hopefully that will work out.

    So, I have managed to get a passable photo of the fully inked version. I still need to add some text and everything, but then it will be done(ish). Ideally, I wanted to add watercolor to it all, giving it some more life, but I think that is not going to be possible before the deadline. Anyway, here is the latest. I hope y'all like it. And I hope it meets your wishes Wingshaw!

    So, I worked for a while to get the image just to black and white, dropping that pesky shadow that was over everything. Once I had that, I quickly slapped together some background effects and gave it text. I think it is now a presentable "final version". I must say, I really wanted to do watercolor on this, but I am actually still quite happy with the result. Not sure if there will be any time in the coming days to make changes, but in case I do find a moment here or there, any suggestions are much appreciated!

    Anyway, here is the "final" cut:
