Description

My entry to the Feleryan Mentor contest!

I was looking at an old photo album that we got from my grandfather when he was in the Pacific during WW2. The old slightly warped black and white photos (more of a tanish color actually) of him and his buddies, airplanes, island Natives in the jungles, etc.

So I then got this idea! Many Mentors teach you simple skills to live by, the range is quiet diverse. They can be any adult, a parent, a coach, an elder or just someone more experience and knowledgeable than you are in the given subject. Just someone to teach and train you so you can do what you need to do. So lets apply that to village life amongst the Tulmslei tribe of mine.How to build things, how to hunt, grow food, fishing, make cloths, make fur hides, fight, etc etc.

("Don't ever give a mouse a cookie"...same deal with a neko and a old polaroid, haha, or they'll become a shutter bug!)

This is the end result, and I don't really want to think about how many hours I put into making this. If the deadline wasn't here already I would have put more shading into the old timey style photos to make them more expresssive. But oh well, hopefully the little details will make up for that. I personally like how alot of the people (humans and nekos) came out, for example the mother neko with her baby neko. In addition to some of the trees and such, but making the stone wall and well in some of those pictures was just very tedious to do.

As before this is all done by mouse (such a pain, but I think I'm getting better at it) with MyPaint on my laptop.

Comments are welcome as always.
