    Been exploring thumbs the last couple of days, still not entirely happy with any of them. I want to make a more complicated composition with more characters but I struggle with that. This is good for me though, I never do thumbs

      Hello! This is the first time ever that I participate in a challenge, so I'm very excited since Neverending Story is my favorite book and the movie is also one of my favorites. Here is my first sketch, I'm still going to change some things, I think I'll change Atreyu, I want him smiling, and Bastian probably won't anymore. If you have any ideas to how make it better, please tell me, I'm still a beginner in these kinds of things. I'm not sure If I'll be able to finish this since I've been having a looot of homework, but I'll try my best!

            This is what I was able to do today... just trying to define the background. I wanted to add more characters, but I think I won't... I would add the wolf, since he is the villain in the movie, but I also wanted to add Xayide since she is the villain in the book.
            But I think I'll just stay with these 4 main characters.

              I don't feel like my drawing is narrating anything, I'll have to draw the characters again, probably in some scene of the movie... Or should I leave it the way it is?

              Hi all! First off... really glad that storyteller made it back. I was feeling bad and abit guilty(because i wasn't making the effort to participate..) that the storyteller had to be put on hold. So now that its back, hope that there will be more participants, and I will try and make time to participate more.
              This topic sparked a bit of my childhood memories, which I'm sure it does for most people here. I couldn't quite remember the story, just a few scenes here and there. So I went to youtube to watch the full movie and I couldn't find any familiar scenes. It's then that I realized that I never really watched it before.... but its the sequel(Bastian already a teenager) that I watched when I was a kid! Still, after watching episode 1 I thought it was a pretty good movie . Anyways, enough rambling. Here are some thumbnails.

              Some ideas were already used so I want to go in a slightly different direction. After going through these sketches I decided to sort of combine some ideas, mainly from idea 2, 3 and 6, as shown below..

              Think I will more or less proceed in this direction. Comments and suggestions are most welcomed!

              onnirica - I think your drawing is narrative enough! I like the idea of having the necklace as part of the design. What you can improve on your current drawing is maybe have some of your char face other way, cus it seems all of them are looking at something on the right, but theres nothing... feels kinda awkward. Erm... just my 2cents.

              DanWarren - Cool! Your redesign of the flying dog is badass! The wolf pales in comparison... I'm thinking would it be better to have the wolf go on the opposite side of the dog rather than on the same side to balance things up a little. Just a thought

              Nice works everyone. keep it coming!

                  Just a question -- this isn't a Poll/Competition, right? This is intended to just get ideas flowing and participate with feedback on the WIPs/finals.

                    Hi!! Thank you so much for the suggestion!! I laughed so hard when I realized that I did that! You're right, it looks weird the fact that they are all looking at nowhere, I did that unconsciously. Now I got a great idea for where Bastian and the Childlike empress will be looking!

                    Your sketch looks great! I think the way you put together images 2,3 and 6 made it awesome!

                    Thanks again for the suggestion
