This was another great challenge with wonderful ideas and paintings!Hope you all had that much fun as I had.
I decided to take this subject into the spiritual world of the indians, so...

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

...or the fire.

WIP 1 - the sketch
WIP 2 - indians and positions
WIP 3 - the magic

Enough, I say. Should have cropped the bottom right corner but every attempt failed so it's done as it is.

1:Three Scribbles. .
2: Wonky Shelves. .
3: Bottles.
4: Three Wigs.



Excellent job everyone.

Have to stop at some point.

And here are my WiPs:
WiP1: Value Study
WiP2: Taking Shape
WiP3: Levels

Good luck to all. Some amazing entries!!

Had to say enough is enough myself, messy or not i'm done. My backstory goes, the scorcerer dabbled in a bit of black magic, transforming him into a spider crab thing, who laid some eggs and is protecting his babies (guys of this species can get knocked up!) and the apprentice is trying to reverse the spell hopefully he can. Looking at it now, it seems quite plain to me with the limited colors and objects, but I guess my main focus was atmosphere and perspective, and I like how that turned out.

Taking shape

More details and spider coming alive
