Good choice for this topic. I was thinking the same, but you went beyond and thought of the children. Invaders do not think of the young. It would be hard to explain to a child why they do what they do as conquerors. Great dipiction

Comment from Charlie Newman


To begin with your rendering is very captivating. It clearly shows a high level of emotion and radiates both raw fear and sadness.
Your creativity really shows through in this piece.

I also felt that the older child has a real grasp on the situation and realizes the need to protect the younger sibling from the horror of the situation.

I have very strong feelings about people and situations that put children in harms way, so your rendition touched me deeply.

Good luck in the contest.

This is a really good idea for this contest Flood! There is alot of emotion shown. Everything has been drawn and colored/shaded really well. The use of light and initial impact are great! Really eye appealing.

Dang! If you don't have a contest winner here then something is very wrong with the world. As always, your attention to detail is amazing. I especially like the 3-D effect of the bricks, with different colors and depths. The facial expressions and aliens in the background are also exceptional. As a kid, I loved the original 1953 version with Gene Barry. You probably remember it too.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Excellent choice of subject with a great story telling factor.
Fantabulous presentation of the ancient image as seen or imagine through the eyes of a child.

Nice facial reaction/expression.

Purplish overtone is visually enriching.

Meticulous rendition of the bricklaying works.
Diminishing perspective gives a better depth....
3-dimensional, thought-provoking presentation.

Thanks for sharing...

What a story and what a great illustration - you are simply the best - super use of space - the story comes out through your composition - fantastic color range representing mood and situation perfectly
I think this is a very impacting presentation as the walls are heavy and she looks a bit like wondering and giving in
super detail work and well done as always

Wow. Pretty powerful images. I like your use of body language. The doll is interesting because she actually seems to be comforting the girl, as if she has a soul.
