I'm unfortunately very late to work on this piece so let's go for a simple and efficient composition. I'd like to paint the Tibetan wild yaks (Os mutus) in the Harmony category (cat.9). My main idea was to represent a potential catastrophic/futuristic Tibet ravaged by floods and earthquakes in the background (due to global warming after effects)and have 2 proud yaks and a friendly kid in the foreground, sounds good but with almost no time left I'll skip the details :) they are supposed to symbolize the reconstruction of the area by a new generation working harmoniously with the local animals.

I've been very sick this morning but here is a WIP done last night. Working on top of the previous digital sketch I have started to outline the main elements, using this bold technique helps me save time on the rendering side :)

I've kept working on the black outline while balancing the light and shadow contrasts which wasn't that easy though, not as much as I thought it would be. Anyway, it's getting close to the coloring phase now that the boy is in place, all smiling!

Ok all the main colors were now placed and I only have to work on the fine details and color/contrast adjustments for the final image, almost there!!!

Final tweaks and it's ready to post, pffff so close to the deadline! I've decided to give it a vintage look because it often brings nostalgia, which means (not always true) > "it was better before"... So there are no ways to know this is happening in the future anymore but it doesn't really matters right? I hope we can feel the harmony between those guys, the wild Yak, the domestic one and the kid.
It was fun to do, thanks!
