Semi-Finalists 6

Sorry for the delay since the last post – it’s been a busy week, but for all good reasons.

The theme for this group of semi-finalists is

Jaron: Pirate, Warrior, and all-around Good Guy.

Jaiden

I loved the attitude Jaiden gives Jaron – this is definitely a cutaway moment from THE RUNAWAY KING! (Which you really need to read, if you haven’t yet, by the way)

Fariha

I’ve mentioned before that I love mood boards, and Fariha’s is absolutely beautiful. I could stare at each block alone, but it’s so much better when put together as she has done.

Gabryelle, Brooks, and Lizzy

This sibling trio entered as a group, each contributing to different facets of Jaron. The photo represents the gold from book 1, the whipping boy is from the second book, and the cannon is from the third book. They’re all so different artistically, yet taken together, they create a fantastic profile of the boy king.

Leticia

Check out this sword! This is exactly the way Jaron’s sword would be, and it is artistically so beautiful. Amazing job, Leticia!

Gabrielle

Creating any rendition of Pirate’s Cove would be incredibly difficult, but Gabrielle did a fantastic job of it. I love the perspective, and the view of Jaron having to scale the cliff as he did.

Mary

This is one of my favorite scenes from THE SHADOW THRONE (Have you read this one?), and is a moment Mary created so well. There is a determination on Jaron’s face that Roden must have seen coming from a mile away.

Jacqui and Grayce

Jacqui and Grayce created the Carthyan anthem, and performed it beautifully well. This was a joy to listen to, and I’ve replayed it many, many times.

Jackie

I’ve shown Jackie’s art once already, but these other two were so awesome, I had to post them as well. There is so much great personality that comes out in Jackie’s work!
