      @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 πŸ™‚

        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.

              I adore #3! What a great concept. Dragonflies helping a dragon fly. Love it! πŸ™‚

                  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 πŸ™‚ )

                        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 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 πŸ™‚

                                    #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.

                                    Much love and God bless!

                                      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 I like the colors in the first one because it really makes the character pop.
