Here is my entry for this one, which has been a beautiful journey to create. This is Arien, she has a fire inside that she has had to learn to use for in the right way for her journey to help her people. I too have a quokka in my story, which is an Australian animal, and for those who have never heard of one, google it, it will make your day so much brighter X K

This is Peanut - my cousin’s pup. I didn’t intend to make it in a realistic way but if you give me something to draw that has hair I will spend as much time as I can on it because it’s my favourite thing to draw anyone else have their one thing they love to draw that’s like a meditation and you could do it for hours? My other love is tree branches..

I‘m so sorry I have to be a real nerd and clarify the ‘flare’ part of the prompt - is that a typo and you mean flair or do you actually mean like a fiery flare? Or am I over thinking it

I love that you’ve brought this up and put it into points like this. I’m a beginner story illustrator, and I have always thought that these contests were to help us follow, design and execute a very specific prompt. So I do get somewhat confused when I work so hard to follow the prompts, to train myself to be able to deliver what is being asked (I don’t though, I think I have to work on my style and learn to break out of my comfort zone more but you know what I mean..) I would definitely like to get more clarification on this
You are very spot on with your points and they’re really good advice, thanks so much for sharing

As someone who lives out in the bush with chickens and pigs and a dog I can fully appreciate the context of this illustration and it makes me giggle when I think about how our animals like to make chaotic choruses together haha love it! On the technical side, I am not super experienced myself, I have only just started learning more about illustrating but I really like the composition and I do love the story it’s telling

Welllll I did a couple of images that I was gonna share even though I missed the cutoff date but feeling like an amateur because I could not upload them haha if anyone has any tips for the next round that would be great First time doing this..
So many super rad illustrations up on here - love it!

@chrisaakins that’s so spot on and always the way!

@Melissa-Bailey-0 thanks so much my first time entering the comps, feel like I’ve finally taken a jump in the pool haha hoping to learn a lot from it!

@Jeremiahbrown oh man love it!!

@Kori-Jensen I don’t know anything about DND but this is great

@Asyas_illos thank you, that’s good to know

@RachelArmington so does that mean people can potentially have a few entries selected for the top 16? I’m still a little confused about it, I missed the zoom demo
