Here's one of those commissions I mentioned. Pretty much, the gentleman asked for "Little Nemo with animals." Nice and open. Lots of my sketches involved a lot of action, craziness, and a jumble of figures, animals, and dreamscapes but they felt a bit predictable and disingenuous. The Winsor McCay comics were a lot about those characters and scenes that were zaney and wild but I was more intrigued by the storyline involving the boy who was picked to be the playmate of princess of Slumberland, and it was a journey to find her before she disappeared. This is a quiet scene in a dreamfield, Nemo stops to enjoy the beauty of this world that is so different from his own, while journeying to find that girl. Above are the final drawing and rough sketch.

Jk, seriously though, this is sweet, I always loved the Little Nemo story and I think this image of yours will really capture that moment before taking on his adventure.
I admit though, surprised to see no airships involved. heh.
great mood.
...ya know..airships might be a good idea. like a little on if i add more negative space to the bottom...
