      Hi everyone
      This is my first time entering this contest. So fun but so difficult when everyone is so god ๐Ÿ˜Š
      I made this piece, thinking of two dragonfly-girls sharing a secret, what is she telling her? You tell me ๐Ÿ˜‰

          Three dragonflies carefully carrying their human babies on a high flying adventure! I want to be the one peeking over the side..why does everyone want to fly? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

              Hi everyone and happy August! Here is my entry for the dragonfly contest. It was definitely a challenge to think of a story concept for this one. There are already some great entries and I look forward to seeing all of them.

                        @Jordi-Ventura Aahhh I love how you executed the dragonfly! And your character is adorable! Absolutely loving the textures as well. Well done!

                          Already so many great takes on this! It was kinda inevitable I would be going down the meganeura (giant prehistoric dragonfly type insect) route on this one - I have two young kids who are in that real intense prehistory/dinosaur phase! So I ended up thinking Jurassic Park for insects, mashed up with a vintage travel poster for said destination...and here we are. If you look closely youโ€™ll see that the near future for our tourists looks similarly...uh...exciting...to the original...!Meganeuradone.jpg

                          I donโ€™t know why the quality appears so bad on the preview of the image in this post, I guess maybe it is just too big and condensed down, but if you click on it you can see it at a higher quality!

                                Zoe had never seen a fire breathing dragonfly before.
                                Updated- The coloring was bothering me so I touched it up.

                                    *Updated post. I wasn't happy with the main character's wings so I did a bit of adjusting.
                                    Here's my entry for Dragonfly. A shameful overuse of textures but it's my first illustration practising Procreate on an iPad 4 - so please go easy on me! ๐Ÿ˜†

                                      @StudioLooong this looks so good. Your lighting looks wonderful. Makes for a nice silhouette.

                                          Wearing a mask during this pandemic also keeps dragonflies from sewing your mouth shut when telling lies!
