@MirkaH love it!
-
@MirkaH I really like it, The rabbit scene hitting the ceiling with the broom is very funny.
Maybe the background is so dark, or perhaps is my computer. -

Well, I've certainly made a mess of the posting process. Better luck next time!

@Lee-White
Thanks! Think I did it.Linda

@Jose-Ramos it is dark because it is at night time, but it still reads ok on my ipad and laptop screens.
-
@MirkaH Oh, yes, I know it´s at night, it´s just I meant to create a light glow behind the tree, so the tree contrast is more visible, but it´s only an idea.

This is my entry.
It's the treehouse of little Carlos, whose family lives on the junkyard his father works on. Even though they are poor, they are a happy family utilizing anything they can find on the yard. His father made this treehouse for Carlos, just to give him something for his own: a nice little retreat in which Carlos spends his time reading (and learning from) books found at this junkyard which makes him feel like the richest boy on the planet. And sometimes a kid just wants to swing...
I wanted to give it a warm, but also dusty feeling, in my thread someone said: hopefull, which is the general feeling I want to express. I also added a bonsai tree to it, just to get more of that treehouse feeling :).
Hope you like it!

I may do another one (and retire this one, if the other is better) but I will call it a day on this one - was fun experimenting with a new process (at least for a reasonable part of the time ;-))!
-
@smceccarelli Love the changes you've made! Such a beautiful piece!
-
@Kevin-Longueil Thank you! Turning the boy around was a really good tip.
-
@smceccarelli Much better with the kid going away from us! Very nice piece!

@Dennis-Spaans Hi Dennis, I love this one - very creative take on the prompt and really nice things happening already. Would you mind if I gave you a critique? I shy away from just doing it without permission since it's not WIP.

@Will-Terry Hi Will, thank you for your reply and kind words. Of course I am open to critique! Would it be ok to adjust and re-enter? I'm curious what I can do better :).

@Will-Terry Hi Will. Thank you for your suggestions. I can see your point. I like using the space more like you suggest so I will look into that. And even though the house itself is tilted forward in my drawing (on purpose) your suggestion gives me reason to adjust the perspective as well, so you're looking at the bottom of the house.
Again thanks, and I hope I can adjust it in time ;).

Hey guys!
So here is my entry. I was trying the best I can to think outside of the box. So here is a character I designed from back in grade school, Cpt. Weird Beard. I figured if he was to have a tree house, it may look a little something like this. I always like to draw night time images because I remember as a kid that bedtime was lame, haha. And always imagined nightfall being a whole new world and mysterious. There were a few things I wish I added, like a parrot frantically clutching onto weird beards shoulder as they zip down the slide. and maybe a kid fishing from the crows nest. Would love to hear feedback. thanks!
