Today marks the completion of 300 pieces of art in 3 years!

That is a hundred pieces of illustration a year and a hundred stories a year to aid in the visual expression of my over active imagination. To celebrate I would like to issue a challenge to my fellow artists.

Those aspiring and those that consider themselves professional. Come one, Come all!! Before the debut of Maleficent 2 I would love to know how you'd add to my little excursion of though or interpret your own definition of love for the misunderstood harpy of fairyland, as suggested in my article, "Maleficent Fantasies & Dreams," https://avproductionsblog.wordpress.com/2019/08/04/maleficent-fantasies-dreams/

I will pay the first 10/250 submissions a prize fee and the top 5 will be given a promotional feature in October's article in which I will be discussing INKTOBER, and what I thought of Maleficent 2 the movie.

I remember in my youth, it was suggested that I should go to work for Disney. I knew at a young age, I would never be accepted their as an artist. My idea of art, illustration and being able to craft stories was more inclined with Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros., and any organization edgy enough to sharpen the curves on their pictures and seek to grab the attention of an older crowd. The first time I ever heard of the Sun eater Ifrit: https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/badoine/ifrit-final-fantasy-x was in 2003, such a long time ago. That was when I bought my first PlayStation. It was the Demo version of PS2 and it weighed a ton. The first few games I owned were Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy X. I really did not care for anything else at the time. By that time I was 14. Good years to be a teenager. There are many fantasies that etch the mind of a 14 year old and certainly lots of fun smut that comes from Rikku, LuLu, and wondering if oustide the main characters, would Tidus ever choose one of the girls to take his virginity before marrying that chick who can dance on water. Sixteen years, that is a long time to have grown up with Ifrit.

I ride around my town and I am disheartened by the lack of appreciation their seems to be for comics. There is only one comic book store in the whole city of Chapel Hill NC, only one store in Raleigh, and that is it. Drives me crazy that I can't find the one in Chapel Hill and if I ever did, I'd have to pay for parking cause it is hidden in some obscure part of the city and you can't access it on the main road. Sigh. Anyway, when asking people for directions they don't know where it is or what I am talking about. Pretty sad. Because I create my own works and enjoy expressing my own ideas, there is no one need for me to go to one, but I am spoiled and like to see what others have made. I don't need to commission artists to draw my fantasies for me, but I am lazy and spoiled and like to know what others think about my topics from time to time.

In completing my renditions of Maleficent and finding her a lover: https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/maleficent-fantasies-dreams-dirty-version

I'd ask others to do the same to see what they'd come up with. You now know who I would choose to love and seduce Maleficent and why, feel free to share your art, ideas and the desires that spring in your mind when thinking of a lover for the beautiful harpy.

There are only two months left before INKTOBER begins and because I am so slow in developing content I will be spending the time now preparing for it while I hold out to hear from you all about your ideas on Maleficent, I thank those that have supported me: and wish you all the best in your own art adventures. I hope your love for illustrative works only grows with the years.
