Honestly, I think it serves this purpose very well. The forms are clear enough to be perceived; not as beautyful or detailed as your more worked through drawings, but there is a good sense of texture and division of light and colors, and a nice composition.
As in a comic, it passes just enough information, not passing too much on sometihing that wasn't meant to be done with an excess of work. Just passing the concept in a unrefined yet tangible manner.
To me it has the feeling of a more massive 'drunkness' enduced be the green fairy, and something done in such fashion kinda suits it well. The indefinition defines the concept better, you know?

I saw the world in a patch flowers;
Godlike figures were subtly dancing,
Among the herds of kings and queens;
And as the dream took real,
in a progressive fantasy,
A new world spawned, in a different color."

Damn, you write so well I just stared for a few seconds at the screen after reading your reply. First off, thank you for the very in-depth comment. It always helps to see how other perceive your work, it gives me an idea of how to proceed with this still unrefined process.

"The indefinition defines the concept better..." <<< you need to copyright your stuff. This is gold! Both nicely written and good advice.

I like how it reads. The only thing I have trouble with is telling if there are other people involved. There seem to be forms in the foreground and faces in the background, but I can't tell. Other than that, the main characters, colors, and patterns all strike a nice flow. You did this in .5 to 1.0 hours? That's pretty damn good, regardless.

The only bridge I ever burned along this legacy I dance is the one that linked the cities of prosperity and chance.

Hehe, thank you! But I must say I liked this one... related to it actually. Despite been unable to submit new things for a while, I've been working on details pretty much lately, almost in a ehxaustive manner. So I'm also kinda looking for finding a way in which I can turn to a simpler style, that do just that, to just transmit a concept without having to fall into working into details too much, from when I need to as you.
The only advice I can think now is that you can apply that indefinition in a grander manner on the parts with light or warm colors, as in the green fairy on above. Adding more light and less lines, you know? I believe it can save you some work and add the definition through indefinition in a grander manner. Or also just barely adding colors without lines in some places... it would suit well in her hair for example. In there, the lines make it look like leaves of a palm-tree...

I think I see what you mean. Small areas of strong focus and detail, the rest of the areas can be less-detailed and loose (to save a bunch of time).

Good deal! Thanks, so much, Krausler.

I haven't seen you upload stuff in a while. Looking forward to seeing what you can produce with your new approach. I think we have the same penchant for details, and I imagine we probably fall in the same pit trap on focusing on details too early in the creative process. But then again, that might just be me ahah. Cheers, man. Once again, thanks.

Thanks, Nate. Yeah I see what you mean. Looks like it got swallowed up by colors, lack of definition. I'll keep an eye out for that.

The render was .5 to 10. But the sketch itself, I probably worked on for about 4 hours until I went ape shit crazy and started mucking up the whole drawing.

Thanks again!

Yeah, I do fall into that too... specially after doing one lately that had just too much details(pratically took me two weeks to do it...), which I hope to upload soon(still without a scanner, but maybe, if my sister in law do borrow me her camera, I can manage to upload my new stuff, even though not in the best way possible... but I won't do if it proves to be too crappy in capturing the image). But I do find nice to see someone whose work I admire going through that too... you can be quite an inspiration sometimes!

EH, it's alright. I am very fond of the color palette, but it's not detailed enough for my taste. Maybe some more lighting will do the trick.
