Second in my Redwall pieces. Trying to continue this kinda "Painted on Parchment" look to the pics. Think I achieved it much better in this one.

Anyways, this pic is again taken from the first book in the series simple titled "Redwall" where Matthias and Warbeak are making the perilous climb up through the abbey rafters to reach the attic, home to the Sparrows. The background sucks lol not happy with it at all but I spose cos I spent more time on the characters and then threw in a basic background. I need to work on my backgrounds more methinks . Am quite proud of how Warbeak came out as it's the first time I've drawn a Sparrow and I very very very rarely draw birds. Not sure I got all the proportions right but I do like the colouring on it

One thing I've noticed about working this way in Photoshop is how the different layer blends can mimic certain paint styles. Used quite a different combinations to get the final effects seen here. There was also another version which had sunlight streaming through the window in the background but it jus didn't go with the "painted" kinda look of the rest of it, so ya.

Again, included the pencils and tweaked them to look like they were drawn directly onto parchment.
