I wanted to try something simpler this time, whether it's a hit or a miss

I appreciate the opportunity these prompts provide for me to create more work for my portfolio and learn a new skill. I have begun to learn digital technology for illustration. Here is my submission.

This is my submission for HTFYA, I'm not very good at coloring my work but I hope you like it

This is my first time creating a full illustration digitally, though I have some knowledge of Illustrator and Photoshop from other things. I used Illustrator for this and had a lot of fun.

Text is not my strong point at all. But in order to get this done in time with all the hectic life stuff going on, I decided on a simpler text design. Originally I was going to have the title spelled out with items on a shelf, but I wasn't going to get that finished. Anyways, I'm loving everyones designs so far. And also, if you can't tell, I MASSIVELY struggled with the girls face. Realistic kids are hard! -
@MarcRobinson I love the color you chose for Godzilla and matching the color for the title was a good choice.

@MarcRobinson the caldecott medal is a nice touch
ha love it! -
@kayleenartlover hey thanks, I'm glad that came across and worked.
-
@MerryMary ha thanks! I was also going to put some "reduced" stickers on there too. But I guess it'd be too busy looking.

Why does the tea party with Godzilla always result in destruction?
Here comes my submission for this month's How To Fix Your Art. I did a ton of iterations and thumbnails for this one, spent a fair amount of time planning the watercolor too, deciding where to add the masking, what to paint first, and so on!

For this prompt, I started with reading about the history of the Godzilla character, and after seeing that he was rooted in the Japanese response to being nuclear bombed, I thought there would need to be a bit more serious destruction theme to the book. I thumbnailed out several ideas, trying to come up with images that implied Godzilla rather than showing him directly. For example, one idea was to show the "aftermath" where a little girl was kneeling on the ground next to a large crater in the shape of the monsters foot, and the surrounding neighborhood was destroyed. Another idea was to show a child in a car seat looking out the window as the family flees the city, with a silhouette of the monster destroying the city skyline. These two ideas seemed overly complicated visually, so I thought through simpler ideas. I landed on this one, where Godzilla's size and montrousness is implied by his hand, and the airplane is clearly trying to escape destruction. I picked the bright colors to bring more appeal to a younger audience, and fortunately since this is just a cover I didn't have to decide what kind of content would be in the book and how to portray destruction in a way that kids could understand and accept.
