well, well, well...

I'm proud to show you the fourth version of the epic, legendary Man of the Desert. As many of you know, i was annoyed about the last piece of the serie i've made. 'cause finally, i took distance from the original idea. Even if i wanted to make someting in oldschool style, i had forgotten that with too few colors, the beauty and poetry of the picture vanishes. This time i've used fourty colors ><! And the picture is larger. The scene is 16/9 style :p

I wanted to make more stars and, much more light from the city at the horizon, but finally I dropped it. The town seems to sleep. It's better like that. In the original concept, I wanted more elements to be present. For example, i was thinking about putting somes big stars like nintendo style. But, there too, I changed my mind. The finished piece is simply soft and quiet, introducing the serie softly, with mystery without too many elements that make the composition heavier. I think it's just perfect for the first one.

The most difficult thing to do was the desert... (The next piece will make me crazy!). When i see the first piece, i'm astonished about the enormous change. Like everybody tells to me; "more shadow, less outline please!".

It's done.

I've posted this piece too late for the grafx2 challenge. Hope it's not... Too late T_T

Hope you enjoy the Desert's Man revised!
