These are great. The 4th one is my favorite, but as you said, its not accurate to the story to have it hanging on the wall. I think you could make it work if you set the framed photo on the floor in an attic-type space with some other portraits laying or stacked close by. Maybe a few cobwebs and mothballs? That way you'd still have the contrast with the other pictures whose faces are not messed with. I really like the 2nd and 3d versions too, though. They are all very eye catching.

@Squirrelsize I love this! I love the texture and the trees and I like the orange you added too. It makes the characters pop I think since it’s refleced in the water as well.

@NessIllustration it’s so pretty! Congratulations!!

Here’s another version I made last night. Gahh! I don’t know which one I like. The funny thing is that this is just all based on one of my thumbnails: I had about 3 or 4 more completely different concepts I wanted to explore.

@burvantill thank you! Yea. I’m going to rework all the lettering. It’ll be tricky with gandalfs symbol, because it looks like an “f” but hopefully it won’t look like I gave me self a bad grade.

@Sarah-LuAnn thank you!

@Aleksey thank you! That’s very helpful. ️

I recently finished reading the Hobbit out loud to my kids, so it made sense to do that ( except that it is incredibly intimidating). I had several ideas, one of which turned into these four separate versions. My kids actually had a lot of helpful input on all of this. My artwork tends to be a whole family affair. Ha!

I went more for "Jurassic Park" cover art simplicity. I wanted to try a very simple design because it such a well known book and there are so many more painterly or movie poster-like covers already out there. Any ideas or feedback? Am I going too simple? Are the colors okay? Are any of these working? (Sorry about the writing. It was done mostly with my finger in procreate on my phone, so its obviously going to be cleaned up when I finish.)

@irina I have a private Instagram for family pics and things and a separate Insta just for art. It’s super easy to switch back and forth between the accounts. I recommend separating them.

@theprairiefox I was going to try to center the building. I didn’t get it quite right in the sketches. ️
