JUNE ILLUSTRATION CONTEST: TREEHOUSE

[Kevin Longueil]

@Katrina-Fowler Really nice to see you back! - your work is so good....you must not realize how good it is...or believe it when folks tell you - i still remember Lee saying some Extremely positive things about your work when you won the Third Thursday - it was something to the effect of "9 or 10 more images like this and i see a book deal" - i may not be remembering correctly - but i remember thinking Wow she is awesome and he is right - anyways..i hope i'm not making things worse somehow - This new piece looks great! Really nicely done!

@smceccarelli this came out really nice!

@Katrina-Fowler This is great! I'm a sucker for ink and watercolor. I really like the simplicity.

Kinda confused at your "throwing in the towel" comments, but then, I'm new here. Obviously fodder for a new thread. Perhaps you'd like to share?

@NoWayMe Nice job on the final! The dappled light looks much better.

@MirkaH Really love this! When I was a kid I loved illustrations like this that you could look at a for a long time and see the different stories/scenes taking place.

These are looking REALLY good guys. I love the creativity you are bringing to the prompt. It's exactly what I had hoped for!

k, I'm going to go ahead and post these. It's more of a color comp at this point painted mostly with my finger on the laptop trackpad because I forgot my stylus. Not sure how much more time I'll have to mess with it. I did this on the plane which made my wife nervous. haha!

Total time around 1 hour in photoshop

@Lee-White Wow! One hour in photoshop sounds so nice It looks great.

@Katrina-Fowler I love this!

@smceccarelli This is beautiful! I love it, Simona!

@Lee-White That's so funny, This was totally the other concept I was thinking about trying. Looks great, stylus or not.

[Leontine]

@Katrina-Fowler totally awesome!

[Lee White]

Added this other color comp. I play around at this stage for a long time before moving on to a final. It's so much fun to mess around before going to final. I think this one works better than the pinkish one because the warm/cool separation is better.

Some day, I will live in a tree house. This is pretty high on the bucket list. Not for long, probably. Just long enough to say I lived in a tree house.
