@Ryan-Ehr the lion is so great in this

deborah Haagenson · 27 Jul 2020, 22:23

@Ryan-Ehr Another good one! I love your style, the color palette, textures and the characters.

Well, here it is. It is so fascinating to see all the variations! So many great ideas.

Ryan Ehr · 28 Jul 2020, 06:51

@Lucky-Platt he was tough to get right, but I'm happy how he came out

Seeing all these great character designs here makes me realize how lazy I am. But here's my version anyways.

To be honest, I've actually never read the book before this contest! I'm now somewhere in a middle and enjoying it greatly

Hi all. I just started SVS two weeks ago. All of your designs are great and kind of intimidating.

Heather Boyd · 28 Jul 2020, 15:42

@ryleygarcia this reminds me a bit like a video game. It is so very cheerful and I anticipate a great adventure on the edge of my toes.

Heather Boyd · 28 Jul 2020, 15:45

@jimmybrewster don't worry about it. You get better by putting yourself out there and trying and learning as you go.

@mag this is professional work right here! Great job!

ryleygarcia · 28 Jul 2020, 16:00

@Heather-Boyd Aw thanks Heather, I was hoping that sense of wonder and adventure would read through!

Ruth Tripp · 28 Jul 2020, 16:17

@Ayodraws love your style and the little monkeys holding up the sign! The cow reminds me of the movie Twister! Love it!

Graham Williams · 28 Jul 2020, 17:37

@miranda-hoover Very good! For me this is in the top 3 for sure at least based on the styles that appeal to me. This has a graphic novel type look and feel to it

amiklo · 28 Jul 2020, 20:29

@Eric-Droke I love this so much. The style is gorgeous and the storytelling here is so compelling. You've really captured something substantive. The graphic design is lovely too.

Eric Droke · 28 Jul 2020, 20:43

@amiklo Thanks a ton! I really appreciate the encouragement.

Eric Droke · 28 Jul 2020, 20:45

@mag Great job! I just love the characters and their expressions. Great textures, too.

Eric Droke · 28 Jul 2020, 20:48

@Ryan-Ehr These characters are adorable. I wish the road was a little yellower, but otherwise love it.

LauraLane · 28 Jul 2020, 22:27

Heyo! This is my first contest and I'm really happy to be participating. There are so many good covers in here! It's awesome and inspiring to see. I think I gotta step up my game next month... But I showed up and had fun (and finished!) so I'll take that for now Thanks for looking!

miranda-hoover · 28 Jul 2020, 22:05

@Coley Thank you! I couldn't help myself, haha!
