Painting and illustration - they're not so different

At least I finished a large painting I started some months ago. I wasn't sure about how to finish it so it was in stand-by for a while. I named it "Merrymen of the woods" (from the Robin Hood's companions). It is tempera on cardboard (cm 70x50).
In the last days I tried instead to use oil painting on paper for illustration/comics. The image below is an attempt of that technique.
