          @Mary-Toth - what a gorgeous image! I love the character clinging onto the net, but also your colour choices and detailed finish produced with these traditional mediums is so impressive. It’s polished, skilful and beautiful. Love it!

                @Chip-Valecek wouldn't it be better to have one extra pinned dedicated wip thread where everyone can post their stuff and ask for it instead of everyone creating his own thread?

                    @djlambson This is brilliant! Our eyeballs have a refresh rate????? Wow. Like wow. Makes sense as to why our hands become blurry if we wave it too fast, hahah. Thanks for this gem, Deborah! ❀

                      Hi Everyone! Here's my entry for this month. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice in my WIP thread!

                      I thought a fun idea would be for a dragonfly to be learning how to fly with cloud "floaties." However, because clouds are a bit finicky, his mom spends a lot of time coming to the rescue!

                            @Mary-Toth Thank you so much! It's a color palette I'm definitely not used to, so I wanted to challenge myself a little. Glad it turned out. πŸ™‚

                              @Molambo If there was just one thread it would become to large with comments and wouldn't keep everyone crits organized that well.

                                @Chip-Valecek yeah might be true. discourse or whatever softwareyou use here with the endless pages is not good for such stuff. traditional forums with pages would fit better for such things.

                                  Hi everyone
                                  This is my first time entering this contest. So fun but so difficult when everyone is so god 😊
                                  I made this piece, thinking of two dragonfly-girls sharing a secret, what is she telling her? You tell me πŸ˜‰

                                          Hi everyone and happy August! Here is my entry for the dragonfly contest. It was definitely a challenge to think of a story concept for this one. There are already some great entries and I look forward to seeing all of them.
