Description
Decided to finish another abandoned old piece. Still not too confident in painting without lines, but I'll get there eventually. Also I realize I don't do enough fantasy-themed stuff, so here's Charon rowing his customer down the River Styx while all these ghostly figures rise up from the unearthly waters.At least, that's what I was thinking in my head. Moving on!

I think this is pretty sweet, and is a fresh bit of fantasy, rather than the stereotypical stuff, I like it. Same goes for me with lines, I always work with a sketch, but I came a long way from having lineart for everything, haha. My sketches do continue to get looser too, so one day I'll just naturally hop right in without much of a sketch even. Keep it up!

I'm glad it didn't stay abandoned. This is a pretty cool idea.

this is awesome
i think you did a wonderful job illustrating that old myth - it's creepy and otherworldly in equal shares and somehow my eyes always wander back to that ghost at the right (don't know why, but i love the way he holds his head)
also your charon is great - vaguely human but clearly something else
