Lights of the forest 8/4/2020

Lights of the Forest Illustration.

Initial sketches and reference material

This latest artwork for my Visual Development art portfolio project for university is based off a small story idea I had back in College. 

The story being in a world of fantasy and magic the balance between dark and light has been unbalanced for years, however a young girl discovers the essence of light (the crystal round her neck) which was thought to have been lost years ago after the conflict between the Brother of shadows and the Sister of Light who was sadly destroyed.
Now the young girl and her companions travels to the realm of Equinox to restore the essence of light to the world and prevent the Brother of Shadow from taking everything in darkness and shadows. 

This is a concept idea for a scene where the girl and her two companions a lone lake man and a firefox travel through the forrest towards the Equis valley.Then as dusk approaches the fireflies emerge from the light of the crystal.
