      @Larue Thanks! Yeah, it took me longer than I hoped it would, but at least I have a better gauge for something like this now. Hopefully be easier with time.

              Lately, I felt a bit burned out - working on this prompt was such a joy!
              Seeing all the different takes on griffins is very inspiring ❤️👍

                WOW all those unique griffins! Here is my version - it is connected to my submission from the previous month, I hope it makes sense. I am really having fun with this challenge.

                    I love this! So sweet. Gotta wonder what someone did wrong to deserve such a delicious offering.

                      @Larue Thanks Larue! 🙂 It's funny how different all these Griffin stories are, right? We went through each and every post with my kids, telling stories for every illustration. They loved your library griffin a lot!

                        Hello everyone!

                        I'm a professional philosopher and a bumbling illustrator. Posting anything publicly is a first for me.

                        I started working on these pieces a while back, when the prompt was first introduced, because I had promised myself at the start of the year that I would submit something to HTFYA at least once. Unfortunately, I got pretty sick a few weeks back and didn't get the pieces to where I wanted them to be. But, oh well, I made a promise to submit so that's what I did.

                        Although they are both not quite there yet, I thought I would post both because they are two very different approaches to illustrating the same idea. One of them is still pretty raw, in terms of rendering, but I ended up liking the chaotic energy of the piece. Plus, it made my 7-year-old chuckle, so... why not give it a go?

                        I think I have watched every one of the HTFYA webcasts and recently bought the course as well (although I didn't get to take full advantage of it yet - Thanks, Covid!). Given that I am completely self-taught, seeing someone like Will, Lee, and Jake critique other aspiring illustrators' pieces has been an eye-opening experience and I look forward to learning more from their critiques this month.

                        Thanks for doing this guys!

                        (@AustinShurtliff Sorry about the late submission, I've had trouble signing up to the Forum until Analise thankfully helped me out with it)

                          @Joshua-Chennault This is amazing! The idea, the rendering, the characters and their poses & expressions - everything is top-notch. I also love the chaotic energy of the main frame. Wish this was an actual animation that I could show my kid, he would love that.

                              @mag Your joy of working on it really comes out in this piece. Apart from being beautifully done, it also gives off such a lovely vibe. So sweet indeed!

                                            @cory-jensen Hi Cory, I think you might have meant to submit for the April prompt "Jack reached the edge..." . This is the space for last month's, which was just "griffin."
