                          @Eric-Droke Thank you Eric, I think the green sky goes very well with all the reds in the image.
                          @miranda-hoover Thanks Miranda! My character design style is still in experimental mode, so it will be interesting to see how it will evolve in my next illustration. Rely Love your Cover, it has such a mysterious feeling to it, not just the atmosphere but the fact that its in the "upside down" lol
                          @aprilshin Alright, Thank you Aprilshin, I goal was to make them as simplified as possible, it was an interesting challenge since in the game dev industry I usually have to make my characters very detailed.
                          Wow your Chinese interpretation is very unique, it reminds me of the Journey to the West, some grand adventure in the imperial China!

                                Hello guys! Here is my entry for this months' topic. I've registered to svs fully just to be able to participate (it is my first time), and it was exactly the kick I needed and the motivation to push myself a little bit. I have done it traditionally entirely (mixed media, especially lots of gouache and watercolour) and the final retouches in photoshop. There are so many great entries already though, I'd be happy to know what you guys think. Everything here is extremely motivational and awesome and it is such a cool feeling to see different takes on the same topic !

                                Hugs from Vienna, Alexandra

                                    @Freya-Chakour ohh thank you so much !! i was wondering if i hadn't overdo it, because i think I suffer of what i like to call colorhunger :)) i ve been sketching on top of sketching trying to get the right proportions Ihad in my head since I've read about the contest. But I ve seen this piece for so long now I am not sure of anything anymore..

                                      @Freya-Chakour oh wow, this is your entry ? it is so so good, one of my favourites ! i really like the composition you found a great place for the author name, and i like your scsare crow's fashion :))
                                      also very dreamy vibe accomplished with these shades of pink and purple, i wouldn't have dared or thought about

                                        Here's one of my two covers, didn't know which one to post so I flipped a coin. 🙂

                                            @jdubz You say grim, but considering how twisted the book gets in places I think it's just appropriate! At least that's what I told myself with my second cover. 😉 Yours is awesome.
