So this is the last piece before my college semester starts. Hope I'll be able to show improvement by the end!

I was thinking about what to draw next, and figured, why not more stuff from my script? So here's the moment where Joe and etc met Ethan for the first time. In a jrpg, sometimes after you fight a boss, they become your friend. I call it the Nakama Tactic! Anyway, they were hired by Garrett (Ethan's dad) to find him, because he wanted to apologize for banishing him. They managed to find him, but he was less than willing to go talk to his father again... and the only solution to that is to battle, of course. Ethan's really a joy to write for me, because he's my favorite class (arcane warrior.) And of course, he's really powerful. All his stats are really great, except for speed, because... you need to balance it out somehow. Great for having on your team, but when you have to fight him yourself it's not as fun lol. At this point, the party consists of Joe, Dan, Rowan, and Alice, so I managed to get them all in there.

I tried to make the composition dramatic and interesting with a slanted horizon line as opposed to the usual flat one. I also tried to use some more atmospheric perspective, like using more muted colors on the background characters that are further away. I think it's pretty okay. I also tried a change of setting. Here the forest is supposed to be burned down, though I'm not sure if it quite looks like it was. But that's why I practice! I like the way the guns came out though. I've never been particularly good at drawing them, so yeah. The one thing I wish I did better was show the ground underneath Ethan (he's supposed to be hovering but it looks like he's standing there.) But at the same time, I didn't want to cut off his staff any more than it already was... oh well. Sometimes you have to settle.
