Hello! This is my first time posting and entering the contest. I'm also a new SVS member so I'm definitely learning a lot as an illustrator! For the prompt, I went for a two page spread. Was going for the little boy, Will, following the tracks to a bigger reveal. (big foot face planted) I loved the challenge being about illustrating something that's hard to draw. It took me a minute to figure it out.
Hi there!
I'm adding to the forum another WIP post of the February Contest of Nightfall. This is what I'm coming up with so far. What do you guys think so far? The colors? Perspective? Can there be more narrative? Just curious what else I can do to make it have more interest! Thank you!
@Braden-Hallett Yes! I was using this image for the sky to make it seem like it's nightfall aka dusk, and I also wanted to include a lake to reflect the sky so I was planning on adding a small boat in the back or a dock or something!
@Braden-Hallett Oh and I wanted to have the lightning bugs be the main source of lighting! Should I have another light source?

@chrisaakins Thank you! 
I was going for a transition to night time with pinks, oranges and purples, but I think I can bring in the purple a little bit more to make it clear that it's about to be night time. I think for the lightning bugs, I'm going to actually add their bodies and wings. Just faint enough so that they have a bit more detail.
