This is my entry for the Growth & Evolution contest! I felt the theme resonated with me most with my own growth as an artist and how years of hard work and a “never give up” attitude can lead to progression in honing one’s skills. I wanted to try and show that in the piece, with the mascot designs looking proud as they’ve accomplished their goals to glory, as well as show them reaching out(or looking forward to) greater and brighter futures, which I resonate closely with growing up whether as a person or artist, and finding bigger opportunities ahead of you. Happy 18th anniversary XP Pen!
