This grimoire describes the process of making a potion, capable of allowing the user to breathe underwater for a short period, no wetsuit required!
I think this was the quickest I've ever drawn a fish-

Here's my attempt!

First time trying my hand at a pop-up book. I wanted to make it like the pages came alive. My favorite part of the piece is the rotating circles with Celeste and the shooting star.

Honestly wasn't gonna do this one but y'all made it seem fun, I just had to try!! My only regret is that I don't have anything to color this with... wish I'd started sooner :'D

I took this morning off work to try and get a spell of nausea in check, so I managed to get to these entries earlier than planned. As a result all entries have now been accepted.

The next stage in this contest will be staff voting once all three contests entries have finished being reviewed. At this time I cannot give an estimate as to when the poll for public voting will go live.

I appreciate everyone's patience with the once per week ticket distribution cycle used in this contest. If you are familiar with events I host then you would know that I normally aim to approve entries within 24-48hrs of submission, so this change might have been confusing. I've been spending up to 5 nights a week away from home and ~12hrs a day in the laboratory trying to complete a malaria research project before I leave my current role next week, so it was easier to carve out a half hour each Saturday to go through the entries than to check in daily like normal. Apologies if this made anyone worry about whether or not their entry was going to be accepted!
