This was specially fun, I was trying to add a new skill to my process. Putting some pieces and shapes together and making structures from these shapes. It is definatelly something I'm getting back to in the future, a lot more to enjoy there.

This was created in June 27th

But so I started!
Funnily enough, I decided to go with the first sketch that I did, it was not the first time that it happened, but the landscape had its charm so I decided to go with it.

My “Creative Process” can be a mess at the beginning, let's just say that I have too many ideas, and that I need to sketch a lot.
Sometimes it throws me off, others it's needed to make me appreciate my initial thought despite the flaws I see on it.

I wanted to our main fairy to be quiet on it's own conner, but I'd love to have more, going about their buisness and flying around in the background. I really wanted to take a bit more time thinking about their design, I needed them to have an extra attention.

4th and 5th one

3rd one 

I'm very picky about color and light, I usually like to take some extra time planning it. I would be working on this piece for a few weeks until its done, I needed to be happy with the mood!

This was created in June 10th.

Simply was organizing the tone of the project. How bright and dark and how warm and cold things were supposed to be, simple composition.

This was made in June 6th.

These are the first sketches for the relaxing concept I was trying to come up!

Magical delicacy usually reminds me of something very comfortable and beautiful, I mixed that with the slow sunset of a tiring beach day. Our fairy would be very comfortable, lying on a soft surface, in a warm ambient, reading a book and giving itself a snack.

finished with one

colored the background

The line art

In this final phase I tried adding particles in different ways, initially the idea was to help create a more magical environment, I brought the particles closer to the camera, placed them as if they were coming out of the cloud, but nothing felt right. This process was very important, it made me realise that i already loved what i had, adding more random stuff didnt help the final result.

Finally I can export it to Marmoset and try it with different material settings and real camera. love the progress so far.

here i made different shots for the final image.

After a big break due to some other works, i'm back at Golden ticket contest. Changed a little the composition from last time, felt that this way it would be more pleasant to read this image. In this stage I did a composition sketch digitally and then printed it to work in a more traditional way. With this printed I started to draw characters that will be present in the final image. I want to show a lot of people together just having fun and celebrating. The objective now is to add together the majority of characters and start adding color to this image. it's going to be hard, hope that I can still meet the deadline! Wish me luck!🍀

i studied the design of my oasis and some close up

My grandma always uses the well known african tune to draw my attention to water with a usual statement "Water is Life". I got to know that she is correct because water acts as both a solvent and a delivery mechanism. It is an essential part of growth and a mechanism to see tomorrow. 

Having water beside my creative work symbolises how most water bodies have lost their essense due to pollution which is very common in Africa with plastics on water.

For the last step I added some lights and shadow

Since the hole scene and the idea is so playful I was aiming for a comic style

Setting up the file and fill it with colors

Pretty happy so far so I started to work on the lineart

After i roughly sketched out the bowl and the beach I wanted to test which colors I want to use. I decided that i wanna go with full saturation and a lot of colors!
