Ver. 1 of First Confluence

Sooo. I bought a sketchbook for my good friend Hyung Min's 21st birthday. : ) When I buy sketchbooks for friends, I naturally write a personalized memo inside, and draw a little something to get them started. He and the other Game Art majors kept talking about Journey, which had just come out earlier in the month. So I bought it on PSN and got about halfway through before finals took over. It was amazing, even at just halfway. It still is amazing. So for his doodle, I thought about Journey. I based it off this fanart I was painting in Corel.

This is another version of the painting. I put this through critique in my Illustration class. My professor had said that there needed to be some sand dunes in the foreground (mostly just more sand dunes overall), not enough value, and that the clouds needed some color. Yet another tried and failed piece, but there's a good start here, so I'm going to put it back into Corel and tend to the loose ends. 

If you note the watermark, you can find this piece on my deviantART: http://micalemer.deviantart.com/art/First-Confluence-301734283






And this is the sketchbook version, done in colored pencil ~ 
Thanks to my Korean friends for helping me out with the phrase (I'm still at the novice level to form a complex phrase on my own):
"너의 여행은 시작된다... "
"Your journey begins..."
