These are really rad! The design and draftsmanship reminds me of the concept pieces for Studio Ghibli movies. As far as a critique, I'd say maybe push some more line and edge variety to help things stand out more. Right now there are a lot of cool interesting things going on the paintings. Try to push a hierarchy to these as to what's most important in the painting, and make design choices that will help get this hierarchy to work.

Thanks for the critique, ill try to incorporate your suggestions๐.
I'm glad it reminds people of Studio Ghibli, in a way I'm trying to create something that brings a similar vibe across. So I guess I was somewhat successful with my work :p

OH Wow you must have so much patience! Do you post this project anywhere available online? Would love to know more about it!
Speaking of critique... the most impression I have among these pieces is probably white "show through" are probably a little too much, like the ground area in the first image. But that depends on the style you are looking to achieve, and watercolour do let a lot of white show through.

Well I use Instagram, I donโt use it that much though (jonas._.draws on instagram). Regarding the white spots, some are intentionally left to leave the impressions of reflecting light, and some are just unfinished areas. Ill post an updated foto of this peace, have to say though that itโs still not finished yet.

Wonderful stuff. You have a way with materials and composition that I really love. (Clouds look pretty good to!)

If you aren't a Moebius and Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind fan...well...then you should check them out. Those are the things I think of when I see you work. I think you have a great future ahead in comic illustration if you choose it.
