Giants walk among us.

Not sure what this all is as I got the idea from a dream I had after binging on sci-fi. I liked the visual aspect of this woman cheering on giant robots walking across a vast jungle landscape and the image kinda stuck in my head so much that I had to put pen to paper.

As usual, picking a rather pointless element from the scene, I'm particularly pleased with the trees, which mark a new milestone in my efforts to represent vegetation with only 2 colours. The only bit I dislike is the beast in the distance, as I drew it longer than it should be and the shading is a bit too obvious.

Maybe one day I'll draw the place they're all heading for, or perhaps where they're coming from...

Great job my friend!.. movies and tv shows are always a good fountaine of inspiration.. and really I was about to say the opposite than you do.. I really like the one in the background.. mainly because with few lines you have created the visual effect that the machine is really far away, I think it is a good pluss of the composition and it looks it has a lot of details.. congratulations!..

Thanks for stopping by!..
