It's difficult to tell, what you could try to improve with this picture, because it's surrealism and you didn't explain, what you want to show to the viewer.

So  there are only some minor things to tell, like you chose shadings from different directions. The boy has the light a bit left behind himself, because of the shadow in front of him, but the lady has the light on the right side in front of her, because of the shadow-parts in her face on the other side. That's a bit confusing in my eyes.

It seems to me, that both of them has to have realistic parts like the head and half of the body. If so, the ladys head has a nice face, but her head/hair is flat and the neck/shoulders not in right position. The boy is well done with only his thigh a bit too big in relation the the rest of the body and the corpus is painted straight, but in this position it should be a bit twisted.

Well, I'm still learning, too (but watching and talking about it is easier, than doing it). I like the possibility of using different layers to do some experiments with changings. If it's near to what I want, I combine them (or delete the layer, without loosing the rest of the painting). This way, it's easy to move a person, a tree, a boulder or whatever untill everything is okay for you (and you don't erase parts of the background).

This way you can do the trees, too. First layer with trunk and branches, next one with dark leaves, next one with lighter effects. If you want another branch you don't need to redo the leaves there and same with darker aereas, more or less leaves. And when it's okay for you â€" combine the layers to get one layer with the completed tree.

I tried doing some of the things I told about (only to learn about it myself) â€" maybe it is of some use and hopefully the direction you are looking for:

I did another one and now I ran into a problem: You see the house? everything elseis fine but the house is awkwardly shaded - i just didnt know how to approach the shading - suggestions or even an overpaint are highly apprechiated.

It may sound too simple (and maybe it is stupid/impossible), but can't you switch on the light's in some or most of the rooms in the house (or put a little lamp outside at the frontdoor) ???

Oh! Yes, it is an improvement â€" hold on to this style, please!  :D

Only two little things to complain about:
I think that the person behind the desk is too small and I have a bit trouble by „sorting“ the legs of the person in front.
(Is he holding something in his hand or has he crossed the leg while sitting on the desk?)

A fascinating world you've created here!

The reflections of the flowers do a great ambiente, also do the „constructions“ of those boulders ... and ... I like the trees.

I wish I could do half as good and I'm sure, as soon as you found your favorite personal style it will flow. So you should go on with progressing and if this bg won't fit to your current projekt, save it for Dacy III.

This would be better, than getting stuck because mostly you'll find something for a makeover but with the risk of getting in a "never ending story" and motivation gets lost.

During Dacy's trip, the landscape can change and if you think, that your old and new styles don't fit together, maybe you can use both kind of arts, if you create something like a time-tunnel or let her fall somewhere in again to show up in this wonderful scene to explain the changing (she'll get used to it after the canyon behind the hedge  ;D)?

Good luck -I hope you will find your way!

I can't help myself thinking about sitting in a classroom during a boaring lesson and without a computer.
(It's like a time-travel for me  ::))
So what else can I do? I take refuge in my own little world in my exercise book ....

... your idea is charming somehow!

Oh boy, another wonderful game from Ben!

I love this unique style of the backgrounds and characters with individual charisma, the smooth animations and nice story-line. Also the idea about "presence" of the radiostation in every scene and the possibility of switching it on/off.

Thank you and all the others, who worked on this, for a new pearl (your already build a long chain) - great!

This looks really cool, like a Clever & Smart or Gaston comic. Great style.
+ 1

That's a very nice work!
Looks interesting and seems to be „my kind of game“, so I'll watch out for this one  :D

Good luck with your project!

In Germany the murderer is always the gardener.   ;D

So I think that makes him at least suspected:

                                 

... but I discovered several other suspicious aspects.

We also have an old song about it, but at the very end, in this song the gardener himself is killed by the butler.

I totally forgot to tell, that this woman looks very interesting to me (although she is nice). I'd love to know her story and like the style chosen!

Well, she's Latha from the first episode of Technobabylon, an emaciated, agoraphobic, internet-addicted young-adult who's just had her apartment blown up, and is now trying to give a statement about it to the authorities. At the beginning of part 3, you're in the role of said authority, interviewing her.

Hey, that's cool â€" I voted for Latha's story being the next!  ;D

Well, if she is only sitting there for her statement you could simply lift her up (giving her a higher chair) to get enough space for the arms to put it in the way you wanted it.
This way you solve the little prob with those lines behind her, too.

btw â€" I love the colouring, which Ilyich did!

If you are good at reading people, talk to your neighbor again and try to feel him out.  Back when I was in college, a guy I knew messed with my car when I wasn't around.  I questioned him, he denied it, and then I took the route of "what kind of cowardly pansy messes with someone's ride behind their back" and his pride gave him away.  So maybe make some comments to the effect of "what kind of sick, weirdo would steal a cat?".

I like this idea. 
(... and sometimes you can find support from unexpected side.)

Hopefully there will be a happy-end for you and Tuqu and ... (all) ~ sending my best wishes for this to become true!

I think that :
- if the ellbows should be on the table nearest to the body, you have to do the shoulders higher (it's like sitting on a little chair at a high table)
- if you like the shoulders the way they are, the ellbows are not possible to place near the body, while putting the arms on the table

tried both versions in one pic

In fact, both Tabata's and Khris's images won't show for me :P. They just read:

Pic-Upload.de
-----------------
Site don't allowed

I uploaded it on another page, that you hopefully can see (and me learning to resize in the right way).







@Khris
I am a bloody beginner about this things.  ::)
So thank you very much to tell about this rule. I'll try to note for the future.

Should I delete the first/wrong pic now? (Don't want to be scolded for double postings)

So...basically all the rough sketches I did for the previous Blitz - which (if I had the time) was going to be the abandoned pantheon of the Greek gods on top op Mount Olympus - are still go. What are the odds. :)

I vote for it!
Others may have done scetches, too, but didn't share it with the community. It shouldn't be of disadvantage, showing scetches to us before.

... and I really would love to see this bg done  :D

I'm not really sure, what kind of dragon you are looking for, because the one you choose may be perfect for your needs.

So what would be perfect for you?
A cute one (to play with and have a little accident  ::)) or a more bad looking one ... ?

I don't know, so I try something a bit different (relating to his „meal“ ::)): 



   YUMMY!

@Leon
Thank you Leon â€" I was quite confused what point it was about  :P â€" It was very kind of you to clear this up!

@Lightmyfire
Yes, you need the screwdriver and no, you can't get into the church. I didn't „lose“ the srewdriver in my version, so I'm sorry, that I can't give you a hint for this problem.  :-\

Hopefully you have a savegame nearby to do it again without losing the screwdriver? Or wait some time for maybe Leon has a good idea again.

wishing you luck

I don't understand, what "bin with LEDs" you are talking about?

Where ist this bin standing?

EDIT:

Oh - do you mean the device in the cellar? If so:
Spoiler
After you placed the attractor in there press the arrow (down) and then you can press the button to start charging.

Sorry for all the nice entrys, but watching the abandoned home of the John's, I have no other choice:
Idea - zyndikate
Atmosphere - zyndikate
Design - zyndikate
Composition and functionality: - zyndikate
Technique - zyndikate

btw.
I couldn't find the "sign or signs (verbal or non-verbal) that this place is abondened" in the other entrys - or do I need new glasses?
But I like the "making of" from buckethead. Thank you for this one!

At the right side of the door is a pannel. There is a sign on it.

Search for this sign in the notebook for to get an idea, what is missing there.

Spoiler
In the cellar of the mansion you will find the right resistor for it.

EDIT:
Sorry - I remembered the wrong item and corrected the hint.  ::)
