Incredible work on the lighting! Especially with the color from the different light sources. I think you could even push the shadows a bit darker, mostly behind the trees and in front of the bush in the foreground. Your lantern pole is probably going to reflect a little light from the fire, so I would put a couple highlights on that as well. A few added pixels above the fire for embers floating up would be a cool extra detail. Lastly, the shirt blends in a bit with the background, maybe could use a little less dithering/texture or a different color. Overall great job, I love the interpretation of the theme too!

this is a nice contrast, seeing someone resting from the exploration part while planning ahead instead of seeing him in the act, very creative! and the drawing and lighting itself, oof, just all around great

Really like the lighting here, very nice scene

Ok yeah we can all agree this is peak

I love your take on the theme!! Really great choice of colors. The contrast of making a fire in a dark forest, it feels cozy and daring, like exploration feels!
