Y’all must really love FALL because we got lots of GOURD-geous entries this month! We AUTUMN do this prompt again 😂🍁🍂 Thanks to everyone who submitted!

Without further ado, congrats to Lenny Wen, who took 1st place with her cute forest creature getting a new ‘do for Fall!

Here’s Lee White, who judged the contest: “Lenny's cool little monster is so quirky and weird that I had to give it the nod this month. Such a wonderful color palette and the painting technique is solid. My only real crit is that I want to see more!”

2nd place was a two way tie between Susanne Herrmann and Braden Hallett. Sometimes it’s hard to pick just one!

Susanne made top honors with her adventure-seeking mice.

Per Lee: “Susanne's parachuting mice is adorable and so much fun to look at. Love the golden color palette. Very clean image. She makes it look easy!”

Braden is back this month for another win with his take on every kid’s favorite fall past-time.

“Braden's dive bomb into the leaves is a joy to look at as well. I saw this one developing on the forum and knew it was a strong one. Great animation style. Love the details like the glasses flying off!”

R Cartwright, who is a regular around here, took 3rd with his unnerving look at forest creatures claiming their turf.

“This one is awesome! Love the warm against cool palette and the animals are all cute and menacing at the same time. This would be absolutely terrifying if you came across this scene while delivering pumpkins!”

Lee also picked 7 more entries for honorable mention, check them out with his comments below! To see ALL the entries, check out the slideshow compiled by the awesome Chip Valecek 😄

Another contest for the books 😄Thanks again to everyone who took part! Excellent work everyone!

JUST FYI: For our October art contest, we will have a guest judge by the name of Jake Parker. Not sure who he is. Some guy who does some ink thing, we think 😉 Let's show him how Inktober is supposed to be done! More details TBA 😋
