      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!

                First time entering this contest (or any art contest)! I had a lot of fun doing it and learned a lot.

                        @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.

                            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.

                                    So cool!
                                    I like the characters and their expressions.

                                    Makes me want to read the second book 🙂

                                          My first digital piece using a drawing tablet and Photoshop. How did I fare? 😛

                                          I wanted to highlight both the start and end of the story. The corners of the page are dedicated to each type of fruit that Bongo comes across. He finally gets his beloved, juicy orange and outwitted Clyde as well. This scene is just before Bongo realises he has to find a way to get back across the river! 😅

                                          Drew inspiration from the yin and yang symbol, to depict the dualism between the two characters in the story. ☯
