JUNE CONTEST: A very different kind of prompt!

@deborah-Haagenson Thanks! I was hesitating whether to put the pineapple, papaya, and bananas in there as I thought it would be packing too much in. But, in the end I thought they kind of blend in with the jungle background and they didn't feel like they were drawing too much attention.

@miranda-hoover I love his fat plump belly, that adds to the teasing.

[Heather Boyd]

@esgoldman I really like Clydes facial expression and gestural expression.

[esgoldman]

@Heather-Boyd Thank you so much!

[miranda-hoover]

@Brad-Newman Yay! Thank you

[miranda-hoover]

@Heather-Boyd Thank you!

[miranda-hoover]

@Neha-Rawat Very charming! Great work!

Worked so hard on this piece!! I think I was a bit too ambitious, gotta keep it simpler... it took me all month! Happy with the result, though, even if not perfect...

They've been showing a lot of Bob Ross during lockdown in UK. I wasn't consciously aiming for a Ross style piece, but I think he'd approve of this approach nonetheless! I'm calling this "Joy of Bongo". It's even got a happy little tree, and countless "happy accidents"! Lol.

I did get a bit carried away and smashed my stylus to pieces when I beat the devil out of it.

Thanks to all those that helped in the forums, much appreciated!

@gavpartridge this came out great! I love your happy little orange tree

[gavpartridge]

@K-Flagg cheers mate! Got a bit lost in my values, and it turns out painting foliage takes a very long time!! But yeah, learnt a lot with this one pretty happy with it.

It was so fun to try something like this!!

I really like Bongo's yellow overalls

@Eric-Droke
Thank's for your kind words
Great storytelling on your illustration, I really like your Bongo character

[Paulina López]

@Jeremy-Ross Those PJ´s are so cute!! It totally gives the feeling of Bongo waking up.

[Paulina López]

@miranda-hoover I love the lay out and the color values look beautiful

[Jeremy Ross]

Thank you @DianaPau! Banana Pajamas!

[silvialcg]

@jdubz my problem was not expression as much as finding the right gesture, the right body movement for Bongo... so challenging! Love how yours turned out

[Brad Newman]

@drawnbyshawn Lovely graphic style you have. The croc is full of character.
