@Larue thanks so much! This month was a nailbiter to see if I could get it done in time!

[Larue]

@Melissa-Bailey-0 I'm with you on that. Yours is adorable, perfect expression and body language on the little girls face "protecting " her art.

[Melissa_Bailey]

@Larue thanks! I love the perspective you chose to use in your piece -- you gave yourself a challenge! Your little veggieater is so cute.

@Melissa-Bailey-0 Thanks, I tend to use this vantage point a lot, I'm going to try to shake it up a bit next time.

Hello everyone! I am not sure if it is too late to submit artwork at this point but here is my take on the prompt. I have taken the feedback from previous challenges to heart and have tried to imbue the illustration with a stronger narrative and more palpable degree of emotion. I definitely wanted to explore other camera angles and compositions but was only able to come up with one due time constraints. As always I wish everyone the best and welcome (and appreciate!) any feedback!
