      @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

              @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. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Yours is awesome.

                            It's been a while since I've entered one of these, I've been playing around with a more traditional style. Excited to hear what you think/feedback. Thanks!

                                    So many great designs, itโ€™s really inspiring! I decided to give this a go quite late in the day and whilst Iโ€™m a bit iffy on it the podcast gave me a little kick up the bum to get it finished and just learn from it. Looking forward to August.

                                          @DKRyland This cover is very interesting just from a graphic design perspective! It definitely stands out. I love the footprints.

                                            @Quackamos Very likeable character designs! I like the slightly sepia colors and the subtle way you handled the bricks. Also, cool font choice!
