A new home

With the eye of a true connoisseur Semmie the Forest gnome inspects this truly beautifull mushroom. He has only just arrived in the forest and already found two very important elements for survival in the wilderness, being food and shelter. Thus far this is a very good start of the second part of his adventure.

De people who visit the Flight Forum will recognize this page. This happens to be the first page I colored some 9 months ago and posted on the forum. Then it didn’t have any text and the color palet was a bit different. Because the colors of page 13 turned out so good I decided to recolor this entire page in the same way I did page 13.

Have fun with page 14!

The Forest!

Finally, there’s the forest! Semmie is looking a bit overwhelmed at winding path that’s disappearing between the trees. After all his efforts he is finally there, this is the beginning of his dream…

This is the first page where the forest will be shown and because this is a key element in the story, I wanted to take at least half a page to show it. This provided a nice challenge because my coloring style proved too be to tight for coloring the leafy canopy. After a few failed attempts to make it more painterly I found a nice mix (if I say so myself) between a tight and more loose style of coloring.

Have fun with page 13!
