It's so exciting to see new artwork coming in nearly every day now. This one was handed to me before the competition even started by a very keen young lady named Shannon who looks about 13 years of age, but I didn't think to ask. I hadn't announced the competition criteria back then, so it doesn't really fit into any of the categories. I think that if I don't get entries for all the categories, then I will choose other pictures sent in for this or earlier competitions. I met Shannon at a high school talk I gave on character development. I really like her imagination in deciding on a mermaid fairy for the Hunters of Reloria series. Perhaps I'll write her into a future story. |
