    This is very reminiscent of the old Where's Waldo books for me. The inking style, the scale of the image and the general design is very nostalgic feeling! it's a fantastic piece!!

    The more "simple" the figure, the more skill it takes to draw

      @@vaughan2632 you can draw very simple figures but they wont necessarily look that good. to be able to draw a super simplified figure in an eyecatching way requires an understanding of the important details and how to shape them, whats ok to get rid of and what you have to keep. the simple artstyle makes it look deceptively easy to achieve!

      It's true, somehow; the most amazing artists draw FANTASTIC stick figures-
      Albeit derpy and silly, when you draw a lot, little parts of you inhibit your stick figures and make them feel more alive!
      You'll feel an urge to add motion, gestures, better facial expressions- it's really crazy.
      Not to mention, when something is simple, they only have a few defining features. Meaning getting the position or proportions slightly off will change things a LOT!

    I used to draw castles sieges when I was a kid, as I was very, very fond of chivalry, knights defending the poor and the oppressed, strongholds, deep forests, and Middle age era overall... When I see this, I wish I still believe in it all and had such skill and talent as yours to draw so beautiful scenes. Thanks for sharing. 👍

    I have never witnessed the process of creating a painting like this. It's beautiful and mesmerizing! Two things that struck me - the inking, after the sketch, it is like confirmation of reality. There is no way back and this/that figure stays in this world and is realized. The second one is the fact that creating such a detailed painting with so many characters, yet each unique, I imagine that when drawing or painting, every figure has a name. Or if not a name, at least something special like a code word which the author remembers them by. Because us viewers see the finished piece and the whole scene, but painting it one by one, well, I imagine that you spend a lot of personal time and focus on each and every one of the figures and are quite intimate with them.
    Thank you for sharing your world!

    man i love that!! the scratchy looking lines are super interesting to look at, its surprising how neat they look despite being wonky up close :0 i was a little wary when you started to paint it because i wasnt sure if itd keep the same sorta vibe but it did and not only that but the colours really elevated the entire piece!! and the colours you used for shading are super good too, i struggle with shading colours so this is actually helpful :D
    i love the style of it too, the dot eyes and big noses, the scribbly look and watercolours really remind me of pictures in history books i used to read in class (they were the only interesting part of history class)
    also that sea monster is my favourite bit hes so cute
