jadamat: "Treasure Found"-2d-Final Entry

Hello guys,
As much as i want to edit more for my final piece but things are getting busier so i'll just have to stop from this point. Kindly consider this as my final entry. It's been fun the whole time. I learned a lot.
Artist's notes:
Objectives:
My purpose for this exercise is to create a visual impression that pulls the viewer and get engaged to the picture as if they are about to step into another world. Well, there had been a lot of changes since the initial concepts but i think the direction is still there.
Composition:
At first, i thought that the main focus of this piece is the silhouette of an architectural wonder carved into a cliff. But as the worked progress i had difficulty trying so i shifted the focus to a simple point and put an element, in this case a glowing tree and everything i thought was coherent.
What had been not discussed is the inspiration of the cave ceilings at the cave portal. The inspiration came from the stalactite arches of some Islamic architecture and these elements are important as these adds to the structural fantasies probably hard to do in reality.
Overall concept:
I did not put a title for the past 3 weeks since i cannot think of one. But a few days ago, I realize that this piece must speak of a general idea.The title "Teasure Found" was actually inspired by Paulo Coelho's novel the "Alchemist". The last part of the novel where the protagonist was about to find his treasures of gold and diamonds. But what really was the treasure?

In my piece the treasure is absolutely symbolic in a glowing tree form. Sometimes, we can't see how important the little things that had been around us all the time. Our focus being,shifted to the things we think are great but in fact just temporary about to get ruined. It's just necessary to step back and look at life what had been our priority in the first place. "Treasure Found" is an expression of that moment. It is a kind of a Eureka.

What is your treasure? Did you find one?

Anyway, here's some references that i got. I'm thinking of some lost (well that always had been the case ,lol) primitive ruins, that's carved from the earth:


Then I just recently watched this movie entitled "The tree of life" and was thinking of incorporating some thoughts into this piece.
Some ray of light perhaps to add drama, well u know what i mean...lol...

A lot of thoughts shoot from nowhere and i tried to sketch out of it, and so far here is what i got:

In parallel, i'm thinking of a narrative that will bring out the story of this piece. I still can't think of any title as this is subject to the work progress.
That's all for now, thanks for reading this and good luck to others...

5 days more to go...here's my latest WIP. I find it critical which architecture to adapt as I always wanted to make it primitive and less refined. But its stll nice to see those column details so the intention now is to create a ruined architecture when the earliest men was trying to refine their craft in construction..
