        @chip-valecek iโ€™m so happy weโ€™re back at it again. Something felt missing from my routine last month. Iโ€™m so excited.

          In the heart of the Western Wood there is the First Tree, the father of all the trees. And there the Caladani dwell in a city in the sky.0_1546632274017_INto the Caladani.jpg

          I might as well be first. Today was the last day of Christmas Break and I probably won't have time later this month. Done with alcohol markers and color pencils. Enjoy!

                "At that very moment, Jeff realised what a terrible idea his research was. Besides being nearly indestructible, the giant tardigrade was a total jerk."

                So here's my take to the subject ๐Ÿ˜„ It's drawn with a felt tip and technical pens. I kinda see a couple of things that might have needed some polishing (plus the paper got wrinkled), but never mind, it was fun little project!

                Is it okay if I post this on my insta-account while the competition is still running? It wasn't forbidden or anything in the rules but this newcomer wants to know she's playing by the book.

                    Here's my entry. My 3 year old is really into giants right now, so I had to go with Jack and the Beanstalk.

                      @Chip-Valecek just rereading the instructions it says to put your name and SVS on the image? Is there an example somewhere of the preferred way to do that?

                            @kristin-wauson what you did is perfect. Some people don't use their real name as their SVS name. But you do, so you did it right ๐Ÿ™‚

                                            caring for livestock, gardens, and bringing luck to all in the town, is a big job, so they deserve to end the day with a big drink. Just one is enough.
                                            Pencil and brush pen, then scanned and colored digitally.
