Forrest's Sketchbook of Wondercanes and Dreamsicles.
hey forrest,

happy new year to you. I hope it is all good.

I saw your latest illustration on facebook (the one with the green dudes talking to the d&d guys) and I thought I'd do an overpaint of it.

I changed the following:

The overall mood was too warm for me to convey a sense of tension or danger, which is implied by the "calm down" gesture of the guy and the pointing of the main greeny.

I simplified some of the trees to have less wobblyness.

I added the grassy patches the main greeny has around its feet also behind it to imply it came from there, leaving growing grass whereever it steps.

I pushed all but the two main characters in the background by making them lighter or darker.

I added some texture and tree-mushroom for visual interest and to help the comp.

I added rimlights on the main characters with a gradient from warm green on him to cold green on her.

I hope you like it and it helps a bit.

Keep up that effort
