@chrisaakins great piece Chris! I love your take on Riley.

[Holumpa]

@angelinakizz Looks great! I can imagine this easily in a children's book. I love all the details the
viewer can explore.

[Holumpa]

@chrisaakins Great storytelling, this is really fun

[AngelinaKizz]

@holumpa thanks so much! Riley really tugged at my heart strings on this one, she was inspired by my very creative, 7 year old.

@notfitkid OMG, this is hilarious! Great expressions on all the characters!

[notfitkid]

@johanna-kim Thank you, Johanna! I was hoping it would elicit some laughter!

[ruth]

Here’s Riley! Super proud and flying high! Not sure I’ve completely followed the brief but I had a lot of fun with it. Do those look like rotating propeller blades to you? Hoping they do. Good luck this month everyone!

[Holumpa]

@ruth I love the style, the colors are absolutely beautiful to me. And the propellor works great!

[AngelinaKizz]

@ruth it turned out fabulous! I love all of the vintage images of her inspiration that you added In. I also really love your color palette. Great work!

@ruth Great expression on the dog! He looks loyal and trusting but clearly still has his doubts. Great image!

[ruth]

@holumpa Thanks so much for your lovely comments!

[ruth]

@angelinakizz Thank you so much for your kind words!

[ruth]

@jeremiahbrown Hehe! Thank you! Yes the dog has realised that heights are really not his thing, but he doesn't want to let Riley know and spoil her moment

Here's my Riley!

This topic was such a struggle for me! Lord please don’t ever give a a book deal that revolves around a trashed garage

I don’t know if my Riley can claim to have “made something” but he certainly accomplished something to be proud of, if you are a squirrel. This picture comes from living In a rural area with a lot of industrious red squirrels.
