[Melanie Ortins]

@aprilshin Thanks! (My day job is literally as a pattern designer lol, can you tell? )

[aprilshin]

@Melanie-Ortins No wonder! They're really beautiful!

Am I the only one struggling with coming up with a jungle scene that contains an orange tree?

This is going to be super fun!! The creative freedom and space is what is going to make this whole story exciting. Can't wait to indulge my time into this.

This is my very first time entering an SVS contest. I am so impressed by the level of talent in this forum. I had fun with my cheeky little monkey and the hungry alligator I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's entries!

@sarahlash This was my favorite moment in the story, too! Love how you captured Clyde's laughter! Great work!

[aprilshin]

Hello Everyone! I missed a few months, but I'm back!

@Matt-Haggard Hi Matt - I think you captured a good moment in the story and illustrated it well. At this point some one reading the story would be wondering how the monkey was going to try to get that orange - That great big, juicy orange, with the alligator looking up at him.

@franksandovalart Beautiful rendering- that water is amazing!

Something might be wrong with me, because I laughed out loud when I read the last line. I imagined all the animals of the jungle waiting to play "Bongo's game" on his return journey. It didn't hurt that there's already some awesome versions on the other key points, so I'm just gonna slide over here at the end :D.
Going for a retro newsprint style testing out different textures.

[aprilshin]

Oh my gosh, I am seriously loving all these submissions! They literally make me smile when I see them.

[deborah Haagenson]

@Ryan-Ehr Very nice, both the style and the point in the story you chose to illustrate!
