Title: Are we there yet?
Notes:
The story behind this image is happening in the world of the small living things.... bugs.

Just like people, bugs organise themselves, they live together, travel together. If bugs invade our kitchen, we freak out, but for them, we are the invadors, so the solution is... if they're not stronger than us, they'll leave us alone...

The journey begins when Jimmy, the freaked-out worm runs away from home and his gang of buddies starts looking for him.
First place to search for Jimmy is actually his mushroom home, and Marty the snail already complains about being tired.
" Marty: Hey guys, are we there yet?? my shell is starting to crack open, I'm getting old you know?? Can't we just rest a bit??
Uncle ANToine(blue ant): We're nearly here, stop crying you big baby.
AUNT Betty(brown ant): Oh will you shut up and watch where you're dropping your ooze?? Messy messy messy! "

They should hurry up and find Jimmy before those birds get him. Spots, the lady bird bug is worried about that.

" Honey(the bee): They'll taste my needle before me if they try anything funny... I'll show them!
Uncle ANToine: Aniway.. we should hurry.
Marty: HURRY????!!!! "

Well.. as the felloship slowly searches for Jimmy, the sun sets slowly and those birds are flying fast. Don't let them get you, guys.

---------PAUSE---------

So, this is the story, but a journey just begins, so, it doesn't end here. That's why I pressed the PAUSE button. The story will finish some other time, in "The Journey Ends".

Aniway, hope you like the picture, and wish you all good luck in the contest...

Cheers!

Title: Detail shot
Notes:
last detail shot.. the bee turned out best.. in my opinion.


So, for me, the overall mood of the pic looks fine, but if the colors seem too disturbing to your eyes, please tell me.

I will soon upload the final image. Cheers!

Title: Final coloring..
Notes:
Listened to Zephyri's advice.. and drew a fence in the background, added a subtle fog to express depth...(silly ideea, but couldn't do anything else, or think of) In this pic, depth is not so noticeable, but it's mostly expressed by the sky and the panorama.

There were major mistakes that I didn't notice and fixed them all.

As final touch-ups, I added some glows on the liquids and smooth surfaces (bugs' eyes, worm's skin). Also some rain water on the weird plant right side.

Also added sun on sky, some clouds and smoke from chimneys. The sun gives an almost dusk appearance.

I am done, I guess... can't think of other modifications.

Hope you enjoy it. I am going to upload four detail shots at 50 % of original size.
