This was my entry for the Writers and Illustrators of the Future contest, which i was a 4th Quarter winner of. This is an illustration of the story "Half Past" by Sam Murray, and is about a girl's trepidation to leave the house she has spent her whole life in with her father and the magic that ties her there.

 

This illustration was published in the Writers and Illustrators of the Future vol. 31 book, which is available from Amazon in both paperback and ebook versions.
