Heyyy this is great, I've been thinking how to convey a really short story with really strong... feeling to it, and you've done awesome job!

Hi! Here's my comic submission for the storytelling challenge. The short scene will hopefully speak for itself, but here's a brief overview of the backdrop I had in mind:  In early Christian Poland the tension between the old pagan faith and Christianity is mounting and feelings are running high not only between people but also between the spirits of old, folk saints and devils. A new dawn is rising, a war is afoot and those who want to take part the least will come to suffer the most. And that's that :) BTW, the title, "Zorza", means "aurora". Cheers!

This is incredible, do you draw your own comicbook by any chance? Cheers

Good morning/afternoon/night to everyone! New Proko member here. I'm basically an analog artist, but recently I'm starting to try digital illustration. That's why I'm posting both, the paper and pen sketch and the final digital work (used Krita for this). Excuse me if the quality of these images is not proper. When I saw this challenge's theme, it enlightened me in a way I never expected. I really like books and illustrations about them, so, after thinking a lot, I decide to jump in and put my skills to test. I'm conscious this artwork is rough, beginner-ish and slightly bent to a side, I made it "freehandedly": the idea just found me working and I developed it on the go. With that said, I actually like the overall result. It's the best I could do with what I have at this moment. The book I chose is "Hanteringen av odöda" ("Handling the undead" in Swedish) by John Ajvide Lindqvist. This horror novel treats the topic of undead people in the most unconventional way ever: a warm, spiritual and humanistic one. The first time I read it, I ended up with some tears, I was oddly heartwarmed. I have seen covers of this book, but I think none of them capture this book's essence, so here I bring my best attempt to represent it. Thanks for reading, I know it's long. And also thanks to Madi Harper and the Proko team for bringing this challenge, it's awesome participating and seeing other members' work too. Greetings from Colombia!

As for the horror book the cover is suprisingly heartwarming. The gesture feels very gentle, warm, and distressing for me at the same time, since it's flesh-hand. I utmostly enjoy that. If people are sensible to "feel what they see", I believe it is particularly true for hands, so that adds a creepy sense to it. I wonder if the undead hand isn't too dark in some places. It could be more visible., with balancing the lights popping out of shadows. Good luck in the contest!

Hey yall, this is my design for The Metamorphosis. I finished the book recently and I was kind of surprised that there weren't more interesting book covers for such an iconic book, so I took a crack at designing my own. I hope you guys like it, I also posted a couple other designs on my instagram @ruby.taylor.art :)

Hi, this is my final submission for "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau. Probably not my favorite book, but I read it once and I found it very cozy. I tried to keep it on a traditional feel but also with a modern touch.

"The River" by Peter Heller. This book is about friendship and going through a dreadful event together. It had a big impact on my and I hope I did it justice!

The Little Prince was the first book I remember reading in its entirety, I'm never been a good reader actually, thus that one felt like an accomplishment, with the years I kept coming back to it, is quite an interesting and rather philosophical little story. Through more than three decades since I read it, I notice that even when is a very well known title and character, very few people has actually read the full book, don't know why, maybe people think is for little kids? (not quite). One of its highlights is been the illustrations, possible some of the most iconic in the last century, thus I felt a bit daunting to choose this book for the challenge, at the end is for me paying homage to the story that stirred my mind since I was a kid. Original piece was done with Ink on Bristol paper, final is a digitally colored.
