      @Ruth-Tripp So great! I love your sketchy, painterly style. The composition really adds to the story, and the colors are absolutely striking! Really, really beautiful piece.

        @sigross Hah thanks. That's how I had originally read it when I saw "an edition" being not just the linear story. Could be wrong though and that's what he did indeed mean. We'll find out soon enough. My wife was over my shoulder when I was finishing it saying "Ohh, are you going to do a Wizard of Oz comic?" and I was like "Hah NO! Huh, maybe?"

                @JoshuaDages Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I LOVE your design, too! Your use of texture and light/reflected light is masterful. If you don’t mind my asking, what tools do you use? I’m using Procreate right now, but love learning about other artists’ processes. I’m amazed by how you captured that lighting! Thanks again!

                    @Ruth-Tripp Thanks Ruth! I usually do my thumbnails with pencil and paper and then scan them into Photoshop for the rest. I haven't used Procreate, but it looks like a lot of fun. I have been learning how to create my own brushes in Ps and used a few from Lee White's brush class to get the lighting effect I wanted. Then it was just a matter of playing with layer modes and such! Thanks again!

                              This was a fun and challenging prompt.
                              I decided to go for a cutout kind of style. Let me knonw what you guys think. 🙂

                                @Eric-Droke This is very original.
                                How did you do it? What did you use?

                                  @cathy-spee Very unique! I really like the look of this. It makes me think of a those old (still around?) sticker books. Good job!

                                        @sufitch thank you! Your piece is gorgeous too! Some parts are so deliciously textured, I feel like I can feel the pencil in my hand and other portions look maybe digital(?) How do you get that affect?

                                          @Ruth-Tripp thank you for the compliment! I'm actually really old school. My piece is all hand done with just touch ups done in photoshop. Yours looks digital, but still has a great hand drawn feel to it. I love the concept too. Well done!
