Forest Tenders

[Proflooney]

Ok I went and posed the entire scene I had in my head minus landscaping and a few small details. after I got it all posed out i really liked the way it was looking without alien creature type humanoids.

So since i have only been doing this a couple months , and because I know when I was in over my head til I get the basics down, I decided to not do tree people for the tenders, and use regular humanoid types for people and go with my strong point which is composition right now.

I wanted the work-flow natural looking and not just something added to my creatures. that said I can still figure out an abnormal, nature type coloring for their skins.

Since I posed them I have some cleaning up of deformations to do, then start detailing everything.

the boy playing with his puppy will have something in his other hand not sure if I want a bone or a stick of some sort in it. the man will have a container or tray with bowls of ingredients for his wife who is attending a sick lion (maybe battle damaged from fighting with some beast) and the little girl has her fathers arm asking if the lion will be ok.

I haven't decided on what type of clothing for them yet. I don't know whether to go with animal pelts, some type of cloth, or some type of plant type stuff woven together. I thought about the leather theory with them being tenders of the forest and all, and what I came up with is that not every animal is good etc that there are also monster type beasts out there that they hunt in order to keep them from harming the animals and people of the forest. so naturally they wont let the kill go to waste but use it for clothing and other stuff.

for the landscape I am thinking they are just outside their village by a little pond in the forest. where the lion was maybe getting a drink and relaxing by the watering hole when he was attacked.

anyways I hope you enjoy my composition. it has been in my head since the start and figured if I don't show you the inside of my head everything is basically just guessing on your part trying to criticize my work.
