The uncharted path

Here's my entry for the Character Design: Wayfarer contest hosted by @cabalen. Initially, I was unsure about the direction, but I decided to illustrate two sailors who have finally arrived at the outskirts of a forest-side community . They're accompanied by their loyal pet, which was intended to be a dog. After being shipwrecked on an unknown island during their quest for treasure, they ventured down a lush green path and discovered a strange, breathtakingly beautiful land. "so this is Beauty" the man kneeling exclaims

Here's the process starting with my pen

Next I converted into a digital style format using comica, and the painting starts with medibang paint on my android phone. I would have preferred my pc but it's currently in a bad state.

Thanks for viewing
