@Melissa-Bailey-0 Thank you Melissa! He was fun to work on but I was amazed at what a challenge it was to work out the positions in space.

Thanks for submitting everybody!! This is gonna be a tough one We'll be convening the next Critique Arena this coming Thursday, July 8 at 2pm MST. More details soon!

@ruth thanks so much! Since I love wombats, I jumped at the chance of designing my very own wombat character. (Diary of a Wombat is one of my favorite picture books, so I was definitely inspired by Bruce Whatley's Mothball -- and tried not to copy!)

@Isabel-Reyes-Feeney @Oana I don’t think I can see your submissions in the critique arena page carousel. Have a check as it sometimes skips images when I look at it but I’m sure they are missing.

Hello everyone, nice to meet you all! I had so much fun with this challenge!!! This is my first submission ever, what do you think?

I submitted this at the end on wednesday night. Since it's the first time I do it, I'm not sure if I did everything correctly...is it normal that not all submissions are visible on the Critique Arena website?

I loved to see all of the different interpretations here! Really amazing works!
