Description For the James and the Giant Peach contest.

So there is no giant fruit in my imagined world. Perhaps I have failed as an artist. Mostly I think I would just hang out in the woods with monsters and beasties and we would tell each other stories and make art.

Also there would be a crazy wizard who would do puppet shows.

PS: Critiques/advice welcome.
PPS: The texture is from bittbox.com

This is absolutely my favourite of all the finalists in the contest, I love that scene, that kind of "story behind the picture", and I love that adorable giant shadow creature with big glowing eyes in the background...
Good luck in the contest final judgement!

Magical. I would frame this is a hot second and put it in my kid's room. (if I had a kid.) What wonderful expression! I'm in love with the dog's feet.

So far I think this is the best submission. It's done really well and actually shows your own imagination. I think some of the entries don't present what the contest is asking for.

carcadann In reply to soadown [2010-07-21 12:59:21 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I think some people might have misunderstood what the contest was about but I tried my best to represent "my imagination."

Thank you! Some of the other things are in my gallery. The dog isn't. It's just my dog. I thought she should come along for the ride too.

:3 Thanks! Kaerne (As much of his name as I ever type out) is always fun to draw and the puppet guy is in a comic that I want to write but I have yet to draw the other 495384333 comics that I've started writing.
