        I adore #3! What a great concept. Dragonflies helping a dragon fly. Love it! πŸ™‚

            No.3 is a really fun concept :-). I read "friendship" immediately. Great work.

                #3 is pretty cool. I've gotta put my vote in for #2 though since it's so... unique (strange in a good way πŸ™‚ )

                  I would agree that #2 and #3 are the most promising. I know that the judges like having a funny hook in the picture. I think either of these would fit that bill.

                      @Gary-Wilkinson Number one grabs my eye the most. I think it is the cleanest composition, quickest read, and most appealing. Three would be my second pick but one really stands out for me... i think the joy of it may be a big part of its appeal.

                        @Gary-Wilkinson #3 is really charming concept though I wonder if something about it could match the dynamism of #1. #2 hilariously reminds me of something in the invader zim universe. #4 I like the idea of a costume but I feel the family portrait overshadows that focus. Not sure this helps but do whichever feels strongest in your minds eye πŸ™‚

                              #1 is just so lovely. Even if you don’t use that one for the arena. Just print frame and put it up just like that. I think it is dope.

                              Much love and God bless!

                                Thank you for all the comments and advice. No. 3 seems to be a popular choice and I quite like the cheeriness of the scene so i'll try work on that one. Did a couple of color studies that I think might work well, I think ill have quite the task illustrating the dragonflies but if I add some near the foreground it should read better.

                                Also thinking to add some dragons in the background with a look of confusion and anger at the happy dragon.

                                      @Gary-Wilkinson I like the colors in the first one because it really makes the character pop.

                                        @Gary-Wilkinson I like the red because I feel it is more dynamic while I like the lightness/weight (as the colour makes the dragon appear to be able to flutter on air better) of the yellow one -so now I can't decide. Oh bother. lols

                                          What a great concept! I really like the yellow one. Seems to contrast a little better with the blue sky to me. Also love the idea of the angry dragon in the background!

                                            @Gary-Wilkinson so so cute!! Love the yellow one. I think it gives a nice contrast to the sky and doesn't blend with the purple of the dragonflies.
