October Contest: GLOW!

@ArtistErin What a great idea, and potentially sad or even scary Eg if the girl realizes living in a dollhouse is not so great after all (especially if you have to always do what the big kid-'owner' wants), and wants to come back to her old life, but can't.. Then the story can go in multiple directions from there!
I love this kind of stories, a bit dark!

Mine was actually an idea I had as a child (5-6yo) - how cool would it be to have a terrarium with tiny ppl living in it? I remember clearly drawing that back then. A few years later 'The Sims' game emerged - and in a way I could play that out

Kim Rosenlof

@mzameckaart Okay, that makes sense. I did see the cave painting and that there were some that some of them were hunting as well as some around the fire. I figured that it was group of people living in "prehistoric" times, but didn't realize that they had just discovered fire. I really like the idea of it and think it would make a fun story.

Kim Rosenlof

@LauraA Thank you.
I see the girl holding a bottle in one hand and the other hand is holding the lid? I am not sure what she is going to do with it though. I am sure if I read the story I would understand what she is going to do with it. It is a really lovely piece. Now I want to read the book.

LauraA

@Kim-Rosenlof Do read the book! MG novels have been one of my obsessions ever since I realized I could get a US library card and download digital books.

It's a salt shaker, BTW. Works against ghosts.

LauraA

@Chantal-Goetheer Holy water is a good guess! Actually it's salt, which has a similar function in ghost lore. And yes, she's a little conflicted, for various reasons, and the action is moving really fast here, so a whole lot of stuff is about to happen!

Did a variation my dream farm entree. Its too late to enter the variation but what do you think? do you like this one better?
.Its based on a baby deer my son in law rescued out of a river on maui. They bottle fed her and she lived with them like one of their dogs.

The tubes I drew are based on the aquaponic systems . https://www.instagram.com/p/CcYP1MgJ9mB/ Sweet rescued deer is here. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKnooXA7Lk/

Martha Johnston

Martha Johnston

@BNyhof fantastic. love the colors

Martha Johnston

@stephanie cute characters. I like how the glow figure is smiling and the others not.

ArtistErin

Re-visiting these character poses. I am getting closer... trying to retain the innocent face, yet there's too much " older face " still. Children have a softness I am still seeking.

Thanks @Kim-Rosenlof!

I like your piece, too! What an interesting twist. I’ve been MIA most of this year due to work, but starting re-entering again past 3 months.

stephanie

@Martha-Johnston Thanks!

@kirsten-mcg

These are both delightful! Nicely done and the first has such a unique story. Love the warmth and coolness of your colours in both.
