Hi everyone, this is my entry for the contest! I used a poem as inspiration, I had fun doing it! Great entries so far, congratulations to everyone!

Here is my entry for this month! Great entries so far, I can’t wait to see all the awesome WIP’s get posted.

@Jordi-Ventura Aahhh I love how you executed the dragonfly! And your character is adorable! Absolutely loving the textures as well. Well done!
-
Already so many great takes on this! It was kinda inevitable I would be going down the meganeura (giant prehistoric dragonfly type insect) route on this one - I have two young kids who are in that real intense prehistory/dinosaur phase! So I ended up thinking Jurassic Park for insects, mashed up with a vintage travel poster for said destination...and here we are. If you look closely you’ll see that the near future for our tourists looks similarly...uh...exciting...to the original...!
I don’t know why the quality appears so bad on the preview of the image in this post, I guess maybe it is just too big and condensed down, but if you click on it you can see it at a higher quality!

Zoe had never seen a fire breathing dragonfly before.
Updated- The coloring was bothering me so I touched it up.

*Updated post. I wasn't happy with the main character's wings so I did a bit of adjusting.
Here's my entry for Dragonfly. A shameful overuse of textures but it's my first illustration practising Procreate on an iPad 4 - so please go easy on me!
-
@StudioLooong this looks so good. Your lighting looks wonderful. Makes for a nice silhouette.

@chrisaakins thanks

Wearing a mask during this pandemic also keeps dragonflies from sewing your mouth shut when telling lies!

Originally had a whole different thing going for this and got about 3/4 of the way through when at some mysterious point the top three layers merged (a problem for my overpaint-and-clean-it-later approach). I took it as a sign to pivot to the new concept my brain tossed out mid-shading on the old piece and ended up here.
-
@cynthia-bowman great concept! Looks good too.
-
Just curious as to why nearly every illustration seems developed for children or a children's market? Is SVS specifically aimed at illustration for children? Did I miss that? Thanks!

Here's my entry... thanks for everyone for the feedback! I struggled a bit on how exactly to crop it. This seemed to feel the best to me personally of the 2-3 different crops on the original.
