Coinhero's sketchbook

[Coinhero]

For today I wanted to make a second Egyptian themed painting where I show more of a bird eyes view because I've never done anything like that. I spend a long time looking at reference and my sketch changed a lot. Most of the super early stuff I deleted but here is an example of an early sketch before I decided to go with a 2 point perspective and change things around.
I like the guy in the foreground I think he adds more of a story to the image but I'm not sure how to use him in the final version.
it took a while till I got to this point but I'm happy with how the sketch turned out. I'm not sure how to paint this but I'm going to try and find some reference to help out.
