Description
Hi there,This is another concept for my book project The CrowsΒ΄ Parliament. As you can see is an homage to Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows and the wonderful art of Arthur Rackham. In my book some of the characters of Graham's book (and from other victorian child book classics) appear in a very different and pop-surrealistic way. I hope you like it.
Done in Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom Cintiq 12WX.I'll post the process and some details in my blog: [link]
Comments and critics are most welcome, thanks

I think this is just perfect. It's certainly clear you know what you're doing! I don't really know what else to say, but I absolutely adore it.

Wonderful style! I love to see so much detail being put into a background!
I'm not sure how much you usually like to give away, but after watching the step-through of it on your blog, I'm curious as to what layers and blending modes you use =/ In my shallow attempts I've never got a colour to sit right over a greyscale underpaint ._.
Thanks in advance if you can spare any tips! Keep up the spiffing work!

Thank you very much. I'll post a video tutorial explaining my technique as soon as I have some free time

I'm in the same boat as you, actually! So I hope you don't mind my unsolicited advice, but this is something that's worked for me. 
But yeah that's mostly in case he can't reveal his secrets because I'm sure he has some super awesome secret techniques that I am equally curious to discover. ^^

Late reply, but worth it to say thank you for the tips! I guess I'll fiddle around some more and see if there's more comprehensive tutorials for such things =/ Obviously talent is a fix-all, but I was hoping there'd be at least a quick, easy cheat! xD
Keep up the good work yourself btw, your colouring is lovely as is!

What a fun picture. All your hard work made it easy and enjoyable to look at. There is almost a Samuel Palmer feel to some of it: [link] . This could be a collector's item. If you like the unusual you should visit our gallery: [link] .

I love all the details - Pan in the background (it's my favourite moment in the book when they meet him) and the egg on the chimney and so many other things. Great work and congrats on the DD
