MAY CONTEST: ISOLATION

JoshSchouwstra

@Heather-Boyd Thanks! I can't take total credit for the idea, though, my wife suggested the minotaur

JoshSchouwstra

@JoshuaDages Thanks! My wife suggested the using the minotaur in the prompt, but I was also inspired by Jun Chiu's The Cursed Girl which is the story of Madusa.

@taislemos Wow, this is gorgeous! I love the colors and the style.

Hi, all. My inspiration comes from pre-Covid-19 days. Being the new kid can be particularly hard and “isolating” at lunch time, leaving one fiddling with a milk carton and not eating much food. I explored patterns to provide the energy for the noise/conversation from others in the room.

I've been a bit quiet here lately. I've been experimenting with combing traditional and digital media lately and made this today

@Chip-Valecek I love his eyes. I get a deep sense of his longing. the alien

@eriberart Really nice! I love how the watercolor looks, it's something I think can't really be replicated digitally yet. I did a similar thing this month with a watercolor background and a digital painted character...I wasn't quite sure if I made the digital and traditional bits feel like they "belong" in the same image, but I feel like you integrated them really well here.

@Braxton thank you! I’m happy to hear that as its been something I’ve been struggling with to make sure they look like they belong together

@Melanie-Ortins This is lovely! I like how you have so much detail, but it doesn't detract from your focus.

I'm loving the range of styles here! Good job, everybody! Here's my contribution

K.Flagg

@miranda-hoover Thank you ...I tried for a bit more of a softer style than I usually do but I was pleased with how it came out

Braxton

@mcucchi I really like the style and vibe. Out of curiosity, did you make a pencil drawing then color it digitally?

mcucchi

@Braxton Thank you! Close! It's a ballpoint pen drawing, colored digitally.

Have you all noticed the rare things happening during the pandemic? Snowrollers are a rare phenomenon, so I imagined an isolated hare caught as possibly responsible. It's a cover for a middle grade mystery novel that I haven't written yet .

I have really enjoyed seeing everyone's entries so much. We're still pretty isolated here so it's been nice to have this forum. Can't wait to see all of them!!
