I love the wonderful bird with its armor plate. I do not think the squirrels will win because the mice were trained by William Tell. The colors and details are terrific.

Comment from Trajan


I love the emotion and action in this!
Great colors and a strong narrative feel.
So, I take it the tree squirrels are shooting the arrows as well as the mice?
Sounds like the beginnings of quite a battle!
Nice job on the penwork and shading.

Absolutely amazing. Great fun animation. It really tells a story and your write up supports it well. Like the colours chosen and can happily see this in a kids book.

Comment from Thorsbaby


Very vivid colours & great story to go with it! lol I think the bird is a tad leary of the aim of his warrior. I would break up the blue background with something, not that I know anything about drawing, just my humble opinion; otherwise great job.

Very neat idea. I can see kids reading and enjoying a book like that. Awesome colors, so bright. And it really tells the story. Even the shadows are so cool, amazing with a Sharpie!

My money is on the field mice and birds by 3:1.

Trade mark bold, bright and exceedingly vivid colors.

Fine detail in the drawing, note the feet in the stirrups - excellent eye.

Great initial visual impact.

Well proportioned subjects of interest with very good placement in the frame.

Another 'sharpie surprise' from MK ... B-)) Bob

A great entry for the contest Mark. Definitely full of action and color. Sounds like you have a lot of ideas for future stories. Just make sure you Never start the stories of GI Numbnuts and all the bonehead things he (we) used to do. They would call it fiction anyway ; )

Best of luck in the contest ~ Top
