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!

@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!

@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

@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.

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!

miranda-hoover · 28 Jul 2020, 22:07

@Graham-Williams Thank you I almost went with a lighter color scheme, but there was something so fun about working with the green rim light.

@LauraLane I like the way you've designed the poppies and leaves to fit aroundeach other, you should do some textile designs for spoonflower (if you don't already).

miranda-hoover · 28 Jul 2020, 22:10

@LauraLane Beautiful style!

LauraLane · 28 Jul 2020, 22:21

@carrieannebrown Thanks, I've not spent much time on spoonflower! But I do love using patterns in illustrations
