Thanks. I still went a head and edited the image. This is the updated version of the same scene:

Thanks, Weilyn. I just checked the number of layers in the updated picture and it reads 215! That has got to be my record…

I've started working on another Sandokan themed image. This has Marianna and Yanez (Sandokan's friend posing as an English soldier) walking together in a garden and talking about Sandokan. He has gallantly offered his arm to the lady, but I'm not sure if the posing of the hands is convincing. Any help would be appreciated. Yanez's legs also have some posing problems.

Oh yeah, and it is still a work in progress what comes to their faces and other details, so yes, I know they look weird…

I'm loving the Sandokan pictures! Have you written any background for them?

Sandokan and the rest of the stuff is based on this wonderful Italian adventure novel Sandokan – The Tigers of Mompracem by Emilio Salgari. I'm simply drawing scenes described in it.

Oh, cool, great idea!

By the way, do you have any tips for making backgrounds? Yours are just amazing, and I have a hard time working with a large background, as the "working area" of the HeroMachine is relatively small.

I'll tell you my secret. I have an "anchor" background with a simple floor and two bottles, one set to each end of the area which will exported so I know where the edges are. As so:

I have a text file for it, and when starting to work on a new image, I always upload it first so I know where the edges are going to be. Then I build the background on top of it.

Here is an updated version of Marianna and Yanez having a walk. The hand/arm thing is still my main issue with it. Now Marianna's arm looks more like a tentacle… And their faces are still not finished.

Marianna pose is very good. I love the thematic of the walk. Great execution.

Thanks for the help, Atomic. I had successfully forgotten we had that female arm… Using it did a world of difference. Thanks a million. Thanks to you too, Harlequin.

And I really should finally do their faces properly, as those empty eyes creep the hell out of me…

Thanks Hammerknight.

Next in order: A bit of venting and ranting. You folks here know the feeling you have, when you have put everything you've got into making an absolutely great illustration, and then realise that there is something horribly, almost uncurably wrong with it. Well… At least I know how it feels now… I was working on this new Sandokan image, but didn't have The Tigers of Mompracem at hand for reference and had to trust my memory how the scene I was doing was played out. And my memory failed me! So I practically have to re-do the whole thing from half way through. *insert a group of suitably nasty swearwords here*

But on the good side, the image is guite nice:

Even if it may be wrong story wise, it is still a fantastic composition. I really like the blood spatter effect.

You know what the fellow said – in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
