Here is my entry :) It's a long, long time I don't draw a self-portrait (...and a portrait in general): I had a lot of fun doing it :)
Painted digitally, trying to keep quite readable the brushworks. Hope you like it!
Hi! Here is my entry for this Prokochallenge! Malagasy folklore says that the lemur moves his tail to create a question mark when he is curious or interdicted: I found it really funny, so I've thought to scene strange enough to makes a lemur curious... a grasshopper that play the accordion can serve the purpose!

Great Streaming! I had some fun doing this sketch, even if I'm not so skilled in creature design :)

It's a drawing full of atmosphere... I love it!
The only little thing that I can find is about the shadow of the hair on the left side of the face: I loke it, but at the same time I think that is maybe a little too dark, at least in the section near the nose.
And I don't know if I like the black outline of the "window" so much, but here it's more a matter of taste.
However it's "wow"
Oof thought I wasn't going to make it, so close
Was a bit hesitant on going for a more gloomy tone but it's a theme that speaks to me a lot and hopefully I was able to properly communicate it!
Hope you like it!
Here's my entry for this Proko Challenge, with and without titles :)
I've always been a great fan of animation and fantasy, so this film talks about an epic quest, where a square head man looking for a legendary magic brush (because the magic wand has already been found)... but, that's enaugh: I will not say nothing more to avoid spoiler!
I hope you can have some fun looking at it, at least a fraction of fun that I feeled while I've drawn this theme :)

It's wonderful! I literally love the colours of this piece!
The only thing can be the shadow in the bottom-right corner: in my opinion maybe it's a little too dark and consequently the deltoid seems a little small... but can only be my tendency to always expect muscular characters when it comes to fantasy subjects :P
Really congrat, however: as I already sad, wonderful painting,ù

Good job and cool character!
In my opinion cold light are quite tricky to use... In that case in particoular I think that shadows in are a bit to saturated and the light a bit to blue.
I can suggest to look at some video of @Marco Bucci where he talks about colours and light: here's the link of one of them: https://youtu.be/gwLQ0cDb4cE
Regarding blending, instead, I can suggest last video by @Sinix :

First of all, my congrat: in my opinion drawing comic is very complex and if you succed in handling with 40 pages without any experience, well: very good job, I'm impressed.
For this page: when it comes to drawing action scenes, in my opinion perspective and shots are the most important things, because are the best weapon to convey speed and strenght. So, for the first scene, where you paint the fall, i would use a three point perspective as if the camera where just behind the captain, while he's looking the villain tha fall in the dark. Or, au contraire, you can put the camera behind the villain, while he is looking toward the captain at the top of the cliff.
Issue number 2: you have to connect this vignette (Vignette 1) to the one in the top right corner (Vignette 2). To do that, I appreciate your approach (erase the contourn line of the vignette) but I would go even further: why don't make the close-up of the captain bigger and fuse it with the left side of the page? You can do it with simple blur or in many other way, maybe using the shadw of the Vignette 2 as a "transparency layer" that let you see Vignette 1 (I hope I have express this idea clearly: P).
As reference, for fantasy battle scenes, there are a lot of different comics: I suggest you Senzanima or Dragonero (Sergio Bonelli), Berserk (by Kentaro Miura), and Bone (Jeff Smith: more cartoony, but one of the greatest milestone of fantasy comics). But there's a plenty of good stuff: all depends by your flavors.
Hope it can be useful!
PS: I hope I can read your comic one day ;)
