MAY CONTEST: Fairy Tale Traveler situation

Melissa_Bailey

Ah-MAZE-ing entries this month, everyone!

Here's mine. (Did you know that if acorns are put in a fire, they pop and jump around? It might have inspired my fairytale situation -- out of sight but ready with a plan to frighten away the enemies!)

I tried doing this one all digital. I have to admit that I struggled with doing it this way, and those of you who do digital have earned my respect! It is something I need to practice. I have a Wacom Intuos Tablet that I hope to replace with a Cintiq or an Ipad someday. I like the idea of drawing directly on the screen. This is still a WIP, but I won't have time to finish it more before the deadline.

@Melissa-Bailey-0 Thank you! Amazing work! Really eye-catching and I love the perspective. I keep looking at it and notice things that I didn't notice beforehand, like the flame on the acorn. Funny!

Georgios Christopoulos

@Melissa-Bailey-0 thanks Melissa! Your entry is awesome too!! Good luck!

Today I'm just coming back to this page and looking again and again at all the amazing art! All are fun and interesting, and many are just really beautifull and professional! (Good thing I was too tired last night to see the other entries before I submited, I might have been too shy to do it )

Woohoo! Just managed to slip this one in last night before the deadline and now I'm uploading it here! This prompt was so much fun!! ( I ended up drawing a little wide and then cropping it to the correct ratio for the submission.)
