The prompt says nothing about the pooch being glad its back from the other side, so that's where I went with it.

Edited to keep the file size down.

Lucky rabbit's feet are only lucky if you're not the rabbit.

Gave myself plenty of time early in the month to work on this, then almost forgot to post it! Some fun entries for this one.

Looks like my month is filling up quickly, so I might need to post this now and then tweak it if time allows. Fun project!!

Decided to redraw this after watching Will Terry's alien TP abduction piece last week but couldn't get this to post last night from my iPad intro this thread, even though it posted into my WIP one. Hope that doesn't disqualify me.

Things have been crazy around here for the past month, so much that I didn’t even submit anything for the Wizard of Oz book cover design. Last week, my wife and I took a day and went for a drive to get out of the Phoenix heat for a few hours. We ended up in Sedona and had lunch beside Oak Creek, watching the dragonflies zooming around the rocks and little waterfalls. I’ve been doodling little racing dragonflies in the margins of my notepads since coming back from Sedona, not realizing that “dragonfly” was the theme for the August contest until yesterday. Thanks to dumb luck I’m actually on time for once!

Spending the day watching canceledcon and doodling. Another personal project inspired by one of the cats sneezing in my face.

Time to call it.

Dragonfly race! Played with a limited color palette for this one.

Once again, it seems like the month has gotten away from me. This scene is an excerpt out of the Navajo tale of how the constellations and night sky came to be, and is really a great story. After the First Man and First Woman, among others, get through hand-setting all the constellations, a great Coyote grabs the blanket and creates the Milky Way!

Thanks guys...I like these ideas. I’ll tweak it since I have some time!

I (still) haven’t seen any of it yet, so when the internet exploded about the show my old brain went immediately to dad jokes.

And the original recipe:

How is it the end of another month already!?!?

@baileymvidler That's got to be it...I mostly draw in the evenings, and keep my screen blindingly bright. Who needs sunlight anyway?

Not as fun as anything else on this page, but more from the super-sexy world of utility infographics!

@TessaW @jdubz Good point...moving it up in the timeline by just a few seconds like the original C does give it a little more anticipation.

Kind of an un-related note, but does anyone else notice how dark Procreate is when you export and then post? I feel like I always have to run it through Photoshop just to lighten it up so I can see it before I post it. The same image as above, just lightened up slightly in Photoshop, where as the one last night was exported and posted without the Photoshop pit stop. Wonder if my settings are out of whack. @EliaMurrayArt I just saw you mentioned the same thing while I was typing! Nice fix...I haven't got in and highlighted the foreground yet but I really like what you did with the yellow!

@Neha-Rawat Yes, I’m struggling with that too. My goal was to make sure clydes mouth was big enough to get the monkey in between his teeth. I may be over thinking it but I don’t want the next scene to be a monkey in thirds

@baileymvidler Looks great! The value study reads really well too, just by itself. I would love to be able to just draw in values like some people can but I can’t seem to get my head around it.
