1st place // @cizzo “Lost in a crowd”
The crowd collapses in like a tsunami, hitting every one of Greg’s senses. He looks at the faces zooming by, each one stressed or bleak. 5 pm, closing time, and it’s already dark outside. Greg hadn’t seen sunlight that day, that damn elusive winter sun. The streetlights cast ugly shadows on each stranger’s face. Everyone rushing to get home. Each person with their own life, enmeshed in their own worries and cares and hopes. Some big oaf plows into Greg’s shoulder. Not a word exchanged between them, not an apology, nada. Whatever, gotta catch the train, gotta get home, gotta go. The crowd rises, ebbs and flows. Then, he sees her. Walking towards him, her expression like a bright beacon in a deep dark unforgiving ocean. Greg smiles. She smiles back. They pass each other. Rapid-fire thoughts of saying hello, of a future, of what-could-have-been, bombard his brain. He looks back. She’s looking right at him, her hair shimmering in the wind, beckoning him. The ocean parts and Greg walks towards her.
2nd place // @yusaymon “Ghost on the beach”
That day you could breathe the sea in the air, the shadows palm trees cloned below a cool breeze , It was a long vacation to an earthly paradise, that day I met a girl in a beautiful house near the beach she turned to look at me when I was buying a diving snorkel , "Do you know swim well ? ". she asked me "Sure, why? could you teach me?". I replied... In a few minutes I was walking by her side talking about her family and what they were selling.! I tried to improvise a wooden seat but in that moment she had disappeared , I felt restless and I started looking for her in the beach feeling the hot sand on my feet I didn't see her that day again.
3rd place // @kellyjanderson “Catcalls”
He had been following her and catcalling for almost three blocks, when Jessica came to the narrow unlit alley. With a short pause and a furtive glance over her shoulder she slipped into the shadows of the narrow passageway, wondering if he saw her leave the sidewalk. A scrape of heavy boot behind her and his bold “I like the way you think just as much as I like that ass of yours”, shortly answered her query. Turning her body and looking over her shoulder she could see his silhouette against the streetlights, and she bit down hard on the inside of her lip. The metallic copper taste, filled her mouth and with it the blood lust rose in her like a crashing wave.
Sorry that I’m making this post so late! I’m usually pretty good with releasing the results of the contest maybe a few hours after the deadline. I was on the phone with @lonniedi until late and I was too tired to make this announcement post. Yesterday was the worst day and I spent a majority of it avoiding everyone. I know what I’m like when I’m in a rage and it’s not pretty.
This weeks fox tales sketch is more simplistic than the last couple of weeks. I loved how the hand turned out in this one. I also really missed sketching on a black background so you’ll be seeing a range of different styles of drawings this week. I like to keep things spicy....or I’ll get bored. I want to continue to enjoy drawing and I hope to never look at it as a chore.
