Hi everyone at SVS forums,
This was a great contest idea. I'm looking forward to seeing the other submissions. There are already some great ones and all are very unique! - Graham

@JessicaStauffer I really love the art style of this. The character design is unique and there is so much to discover!
-
@DKRyland I really love this. I could see this as the cover for a 1930's Futurist re-write of Dorthy's adventures or something. Really beautiful portrayal of Oz. The vintage textures are terrific!
-
Hi Everyone! Here's my submission this month. I wanted to do something completely different than I've ever seen for an OZ cover. Coincidentally, I've been working on my own version of this story for about a year now, so this was super fun to work on for me! Hope you enjoy!

Hi everyone, here is my entry for this month's contest.
-
@JoshuaDages Thank you so much! I really love the green glow of everything and the texture on your piece, it just makes it feel like there is something beyond !
-
@JessicaStauffer LOVE the tin man and the Lions posture!
-
@Ross-Cuellar-0 Thank you! I took the gesture drawing and character design classes SVS has and they helped me soooo much with the design/movement in the characters. I was really happy with how they turned out!

Hello all - here is my submission:
-
Here is my completed piece, I wanted to do something also in the graphic novel/comic style, and as well as incorporate a hint of the "rubber hose" style of cartoons for fun! I'm nervous posting, but I really want to try get more pieces in my portfolio this year. :' )

My entry for the Wizard of Oz book cover illustration

Here's my post for the July contest. It was a challenge working with such an iconic piece of literature. It was tough trying to avoid the original aesthetic, not to mention the movie's influence. I'm still very new to this, so definitely a good challenge for me.
These are the gifts (in the book) given by the Wizard: a silk heart filled with sawdust for the Tin Man, a scoop of bran filled with pins and needles ("bran new brains") for the Scarecrow, and a bottle of "courage" potion for the Lion. (Also, Dorothy's shoes are silver in the book.) All these things were just substitutes for the real gifts acquired along the journey on the yellow brick road... love, wisdom, courage, and a way home. Hope you enjoy!

Here's my submission. I'm kind of out in the weeds on this one a bit because it's more of an adaptation of the book, but I really wanted to push myself with mixing styles and I've really been wanting to practice some graphic novel looks, so here we go

@Quackamos it’s so cute!!!! This looks like it could be the cover of a comics

@jdubz ha!
this is a fun one. Maybe instead of “Missing” you could write “Departed”, The Departed Wizard of Oz.
