Theft case in casino
New painting ! The work describes about the protagonist Jia-Jun had fun in the casino. But something bed happened to her and she was beckoning to the waiter for help.
This is a painting for my personal project "The Mysterious Journey of Jia-Jun" in 7-Peccata (a creative project at Plurk) which is co-creation by an artist and a writer - you can watch the full novel content here https://www.plurk.com/p/oef476 .
Hello @cedricgo, thank for your feedback.
Honestly, when I drawing these two artwork, I thought that there should be no characters in the scene, because applying for the job of drawing the scene setting was my goal at that time.
Although the job titles are written "concept art", the work content is about drawing scenes, texture, props, etc. If there is a need to draw characters, then the job title will be written "character design". So at the time, I thought it was enough to focus on the scene in my profolio, and there was no need to draw characters.
Is my thinking wrong?
I'm not sure if I want to apply for "concept art", whether it should focus on setting the scene, or focus on the storytelling?
Okay, I see. If these are meant to be environment designs or concepts then it might not be as important than if they were meant to be illustrations. And I believe you're right. If you're going to be an environment or prop artist, you'll probably not work on characters, although it might depend on the studios.
With that said, I think there can still be room to add a bit of storytelling without adding characters. As brohawx said in his comment, there could be a flower, tree or castle with a little something special on the outdoor scene. As for the room one, you could have things on the table that tell us a little bit about the people who live there.
In the end it depends if you want to go more into concept art or illustration. For illustration, the storytelling is going to be a more important thing to focus on. But if it's for concept art, then what you have might be fine. Although I guess adding a little extra spice to your work to impress art director is never a bad thing 
But I think you're doing good so far. You're showing good skills,so I think whichever path you'll pick you'll manage to succeed 👍
The following is my workflow. I hope to get feedback on the workflow. I have been working on this artwork for over 14 days, and I hope to get some quicker ways to complete it.
Step1.
Looking for reference, and composition by Blender.
Step2.
Finding more reference to draw the lineart. Item first.
Step3.
Making a color scheme. Although I have never been to a casino, through the photos, most of the decorations are mainly yellow and red.
I think the reason for color scheme is the same as McDonald's - the use of red and yellow makes people feel excited and anxious, promoting consumption.
Protagonist Jia-Jun's seat moved one to the right to avoid her being obscured by the arm waiter raised.
Step4.
Setting slot machine.
Step5.
Detailing every object. When necessary, I will customize the textures, such as ceilings, carpets, railings, etc.
Step6.
Add more detailed people, props and lights.
Wrinkle of clothes is the most difficult, I spent a lot of time on it.
哈哈，没想到能碰到中国人，你已经做的很不错了，支持一下你的作品，你还是学生吗。
I see. Thank you very much for your suggestion. I also agree with brohawx said. I think adding more storytelling will make the scene look better! So I have already planned to do it. I hope these two work are better, and process will continue to be posted here.
