Couldn't resist the sea lol. Thought this was a fun prompt so I had to give it a shot.

@Jason-Crowley
Winner, winner chicken dinner. Love everything about it!

Couldn't resist this prompt - I’ve been really inspired to take part after seeing all the great work and really useful feedback over the last few months. I wanted to set my scene in a murky lake but maybe it’s gone a bit too murky?! Anyhoo, it was great fun to create and try my hand at some underwater lighting.

[Julia Hegetusch]

@ruth love the colours and the story telling

[Joshua Chennault]

I let this one stew for a while, so I think I will call it done. Fun prompt and I got a whole graphic novel story brewing for these characters. Will hopefully circle back to them one day and expand on it.

@Joshua-Chennault love your final rendering and the color palette!

[Sunniva]

First time submitting! I love seeing all the different interpretations everyone has posted. This was such a fun promt

[Harry Gruson]

@thomas-young I like your style

[Virtual SG]

@Jason-Crowley ...Such a lovely illustration. I really get the sense that he lives here and the lignting/composition/focal point is nicely done (and jaws)

[JennyJones]

@AustinShurtliff I know I should know the answer already. Does May 1st mean 12 am May 1st, or does it mean by 11:59 pm on May 1st?

Ok, I wanted to participate in this since I've started lurking in here but I somehow didn't realize that May is almost here and silly me wanted to attempt a double spread in like three days Simply, it's not finished but I'd like to share it anyways. I enjoyed working on it, I'm quite proud of my work on it so far, it's my first time doing a double spread and although not finished and polished I managed to get it to... let's say somewhat presentable level at least I will finish it later. It was a challenge I will definitely make sure to start much earlier next time

Thank you for your time and consideration.

[Erin Hawkins]

Apologies for the double post -- this is the file I'd like to submit. This was done in colored pencil, pen, and gouache with some digital edits. Looking forward to feedback -- thanks!

@Norman-Morana
Love your textures and palette!

Hi, I wanted to make an image from a world of characters I drew for Inktober some years ago. Making a color illustration was a great challenge and fun!
