        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.

                  @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.

                        @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.

                                @Sas Thank you. Yes, I used gouache and prismacolor pencils and then I edited a lot in photoshop.

                                      @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!!

                                          When do they usually announce the results for the monthly prompts? Or have I missed it somehow 😮
