We’re having an amazing Saturday night, full up with a sword-wielding flower, a unicorn girl, a zero-g raygun-wielding scoundrel, colorful fairies and so much more – just check out our featured illustrations!<\/p>\n

“Sword and Flower” by Selina Fenech<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Selina Fenech spent 40 minutes creating this gorgeously atmospheric digital sketch<\/a> – she used her Cintiq and Photoshop. Riffing on Mayumi Ogihara’s prompt “Sword and Flower” with this illustration, Selina commented, “I kinda forgot about the Rose part… I guess she could be the rose?” Sounds good to us! After all, a rose must have at least one thorn.<\/p>\n

“Unicorn Girl Sketch” by Kathryn Whiteford<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kathryn Whiteford jumped in today after seeing Sarah Alden’s “Unicorngirl” prompt. Here’s what she wrote about her sketch<\/a>: “After a week of writing very boring official documents, I needed some fun sketching time. Also, it’s been way too long since I took part in Sketch Fest, so here I am! \ud83d\ude00 This was the first prompt that really captured my attention. I’ll be adding some watercolour to this soon, but it may not be before SF ends. At least I did the sketch in time!” We’re so glad you had the time to join us, Kathryn!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Space Girl” by Becca “Boo” Moore<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We love the creative angle Becca “Boo” Moore took with her “Space Girl<\/a>” illustration! Edward Cammarota prompted artists to create a “space girl doing a backflip shooting at an attacker” and this was Becca’s interpretation. “This was fun and challenging!” Becca noted. “I like the anti-gravity feel this ended up with!”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Stone Dragon” by Jools62<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We love this brief sketch of a “Stone Dragon<\/a>” done by Jools62 today, inspired by Rebecca McCullough’s\u00a0 prompt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Red Stockings, Black Dress” by Milkycat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Milkycat drew “Red Stocking, Black Dress<\/a>” inspired by Edward Cammarota’s prompt, and captured a magical moment full of possibility – a sparkling backdrop, a swanky party, and a pensive expression all make you wonder what the story is here.<\/p>\n
