Hi, everyone! Here’s my entry for this month.
You might have seen my The Little Prince wip earlier this month but I set that project aside because it was too complex. It had too much metaphors and i was hitting a road block. I imagine I could make it work in time but time is not on my side lately
I decided to go with The Paper Bag Princess at the last minute instead.
I especially like this book because of it’s brave and clever protagonist. This is just a simple piece. I finished it in a few hours and its concept is fairly simple as well. However, I like how it turned out. Though plain, i think I can still add it to my portfolio.
i hope also like it. Thanks!

@JennyJones I love her story concept - I think it would be fun for you with her permission to create a scene from very imaginative story.
-
Thanks for letting me resubmit my file in RGB mode, Chip.
Tip: If you submit your JPG in CMYK mode, your image will end up with faded color. It was driving me nuts last night.
-
@Stephanie-Hider Oh, thanks
Love yours as well.Nice composition idea, colours and funny characters! -
@JessicaClark Thank you Jessica!
-
@Johanna-Kim I submitted my jpeg in the same format as you did. I have been lamenting about how it looked dull as compared to the way I created it but could not figure out why. I’ll have to remember this for next time.
-
@JennyJones I like your cover for March. Is that the one that came out faded? If so, you should resubmit it before Chip does his photo album. Nothing's worse than spending hours/days on something and not having it look the way it should in the end due to a technical glitch.
-
@sigross Yeah, you captured that feeling spot on!
-
@Johanna-Kim Yes that’s the one. I’ll try the resubmit. Thanks for the compliment too!
Update: it looks like what really happened with the “ dull “ look is that I left a Layer turned on that I should not have. The rest of the color looks pretty right on. I would be submitting an edited illustration if I resubmitted, so I will leave it ( and pay better attention next time. ). Thank you anyway.

@JDRpictures wow
-
@Jon-Anderson Love the life that is in this picture! Great job
There is beauty in life!
-
@avfarrar Thank you!
-
@Sas Thank you. Yes, I used gouache and prismacolor pencils and then I edited a lot in photoshop.
-
@JessicaClark Thank you very much! I'm really happy you like it
-
@sigross This is wonderful, well done! One of my favourite books and think you've captured it really well
-
@ShannonB much appreciated. Thanks for the feedback. I hadn't read it for years. It's been great to go back, take another look at 1984 and re-awaken the story.
-
@JDRpictures I’m so glad you did this! It’s one of my favorite books (the literal worst film adaptation ever). This is wonderful!!
