I haven't posted here in a little while so I thought I would share a new illustration done for a children's product. I hope you enjoy it.

It´s really nice, perfect for a children´s book. The colors and details create a beautiful scene.

I´ve seen your artwork before, and it´s great!

[pstraub]

thanks Cassandra, your comments are appreciated

I'm blown completely away by your stuff.

I especially like the repeating curly Q's and vibrant colors in this piece.

thanks Jester....just a little change of pace from the "concept art" seen here ( and that I normally do at the studio I work at). I was chuckling all the way to the end of the painting

Great Illustration pstraub

I wish I could jump in there for a while and just hang out.

Well done

[Gr8t100]

Very nice. Great style and use of colors. Reminds me a lot of Alice in Wonderland.

Hey philip!

You did great piece here. I already posted reply on the pic at gfx but this one just inspire. You didnt got into much details and pic now looks clean and eyecandy, specialy for kids. They'll love the little caterpillar and butterfly fellows.
I have only one suggestion to this picture. Imho I would give to the butterfly and cpillar also some more characteristic, cartoony faces so that they could show some of their feeling ect.
Anyway great picture :)

[pstraub]

agreed tiger.

The characters expression could be more "expressive".

[Lost Dragon]

I like the round swirly things on the stick.

[pstraub]

cool lost dragon. I almost didn't include the swirlies on the branch..glad I did
