Some woods are a dangerous place, others aren't. These woods are only dangerous if you mean the midnight deer ill. Referred to as the midnight visitor this spirte leaves glowing tracks in the woods that lead to a cabin. For those who are lost it's safety. For those scared, it's comfort. For those hunted it's safety. For those hunting it's a trap. A door once opened won't open again.
And now the process.
I wanted to create a sense of a depth with the trees and with the path.
Then I added the cabin. It took me a few tries to get the right shape/colours. I decided to go with a silvery blue because I wanted to do the lighting for the whole work in it. Their currently purple but that'll change later.
I changed the colour of the high lights, and adjusted the trees some in shape and I wanted them darker since it's supposed to look dark/night time.
I'm actully really enjoying how this is turning out now.
I added some extra shadeing/highlights and a subtle highlight of the path.
I then started working on the figure of the spirte.
I kinda felt like I over drew the spirit cause there's to many lines ><
Yes it does have big eyes.
From there I just tweaked the trees a little more and messing around with the spirte.
And were done. Overall pretty happy with it.

I actually love the highlight on the trees the illusion of tree trunks amidst the dark background Achieved and it is effective
Thank you! It's always great to know when an effect really works!
I love the size and shape of the trees even without obvious leaves or branches; they simply worked. Maybe they are too tall to show them but nonetheless still helpful in creating that eerie night time vibe and a little magical too. I love your work it shows your true dedication and passion in making art.
Thank you! I struggle with trees so have a tendency to just draw trunks and hope no one questions it :P
Thank you saying my work shows dedication and passion. It's nice to feel seen in such a positive way. :)
