Dragonfly WIP (#2 updated)
-
These are all great concepts, so lovely! I like all the sketches. 2-3 feel like they could be a part of the same story somehow. As for the originality of the idea I like the 2 and 3 best. Why not paint both if you have the time. They would make exellent portfolio pieces. The only thing in sketch 2 that I was now thinking about is the tree on the left sort of framing the picture. Makes it feel a bit constrained compared to the free flow and feel of the other sketches.

@Gary-Wilkinson These are all adorable, but 1 and 3 have the most engaging energy and composition for me. And I agree that 3 tells a very unique and heartwarming story
-
Hi, I like the story of #2 and #3 but #3 visually catches my eye first with "aww it is so cute that chucky dragon". #2 story and #3 story are funny, for those reasons I chose them.
-
Number 2. Your cute style plus a slightly sinister story= hilarity
-
I like 1 and 3 the best. Good work!
-
I adore #3! What a great concept. Dragonflies helping a dragon fly. Love it!
-
@Gary-Wilkinson I really like numbers 1 and 3! They are both super cute and would work wonderfully
-
No.3 is a really fun concept :-). I read "friendship" immediately. Great work.
-
@Gary-Wilkinson I like #3, it has a cute story with a lot of visual appeal.
-
#3 is pretty cool. I've gotta put my vote in for #2 though since it's so... unique (strange in a good way
) -
I would agree that #2 and #3 are the most promising. I know that the judges like having a funny hook in the picture. I think either of these would fit that bill.
-
@Gary-Wilkinson number 3 is very good and very creative!
-
@Gary-Wilkinson Number one grabs my eye the most. I think it is the cleanest composition, quickest read, and most appealing. Three would be my second pick but one really stands out for me... i think the joy of it may be a big part of its appeal.
-
@Gary-Wilkinson #3 is really charming concept though I wonder if something about it could match the dynamism of #1. #2 hilariously reminds me of something in the invader zim universe. #4 I like the idea of a costume but I feel the family portrait overshadows that focus. Not sure this helps but do whichever feels strongest in your minds eye
-
Number three! So fun!
-
1 and 3 are my faves, but I love 3 the most. So sweet!
-
#1 is just so lovely. Even if you don’t use that one for the arena. Just print frame and put it up just like that. I think it is dope.
-
Thank you for all the comments and advice. No. 3 seems to be a popular choice and I quite like the cheeriness of the scene so i'll try work on that one. Did a couple of color studies that I think might work well, I think ill have quite the task illustrating the dragonflies but if I add some near the foreground it should read better.
Also thinking to add some dragons in the background with a look of confusion and anger at the happy dragon.

@Gary-Wilkinson Oh my gosh, I love this idea so much!! It is so sweet and so adorbs!! Love the colors/lighting you chose, too.
-
@Gary-Wilkinson beautiful! i love the red one.
