JANUARY PROMPT "BIG"

Nyrryl Cadiz

@Ekenora omg the fly girl is so me a few times in elementary and highschool, I was always overlooked even though i worked so hard on my pieces/projects for someone who could afford to buy a fancy ready-made product... . I still feel cheated looking back.

@nyrrylcadiz Thanks for your like! Sorry for making you remember things not so nice but I've been there too :face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: . This time the past returns in the form of inspiration :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

@Ekenora No worries! Though those experiences were negative, i gained so much great things from them. it boosted my creativity and indipendence, knowing that I can do a lot of things that my peers could not on their own. Looking back, I still have some some issues but I also feel very proud of myself.

@Braden-Hallett what happened to that brave squirrel? But I like the dog a bit squeamish lols.

Heather Boyd

@KathrynAdebayo Thanks I really appreciate it. I very much enjoyed larger landscapes and smaller characters. I still have to work on my edges.

Since I'm not above double double-dipping, here is another of my Howl's Moving Castle images that happens to relate very well to the topic.

Thank you all that provided feedback on my BIG image. It was great to collaborate. I was unable to finish this as a lino cut like I wanted (I had to help with a sick relative) so I colored this in Inkscape. The line work was done by pen. I think I will actually finish the lino cut version just not in time! It will be interesting to compare the finished products.

Background: The story is about a young squirrel Rose whose love of pine nuts leads her to meeting a new friend who happens to be a BEAR! At first she is afraid of the bear. That is where this picture come in.

Text on page: She did, however, pause when a shadow covered the sun and a chill ran down her back. Looking up she saw a gigantic creature staring down at her. “Hello little one, how are the pine nuts today?” it asked.
