            Oh man, am I ever not going to get butterflies when submitting work ๐Ÿ˜…

            This prompt was super fun and I had a great time coming up with a whole story for a little middle grade graphic novel. Except that wasn't the challenge! So I spent half the month on concept and a much shorter time on actual art. Oh well, I will for sure use the story stuff in the future, nothing is wasted! ๐Ÿ˜„

              EDIT uploaded my file again as I had uploaded the wrong one!

              Wow! Each project is a completely different learning experience... I wish I'd had more time for this piece, but oh well, I had fun and did what I could in the little time I had! BTW, I love how different all the submitted designs are... so beautiful!

                Hope everyone is well and enjoying life. Here is my submission for this month. overly underestimated how little time i would have with teaching remotely and taking two classess. I just could not let go of my personal goal of submitting something each month.

                What you see is just a quick piece most likely unfinished with zero planning. I apologize for the half finished work.

                I wanted to bend the boat into a more dynamic design, add bright bugish color schemes, and commuicate more of sky to signify the flying. In addition, there is something wonky about the perspective of the front of the boat. Anyways like this quotes says, โ€œAnything worth doing is worth doing poorlyโ€ here is my poorly finished dragonfly flying ship that I love. Thanks and much love!

                DD4ADBE7-007B-4348-88EC-DB445F7FAF36.jpeg

                Much love and God bless!

                          @sue so lovely, soft and a little mystery to go along with it. I love it. One of my favourites so far

                            Hi everyone: This is my first post, but I have been a member for the past couple months. This is the first challenge that I managed to finish. I am a teacher, so this will also be my last post for a while.

                            It has been just wonderful to watch the crits for the previous challenges. The SVS fundamentals courses have helped me develop some strong pieces and I am looking forward to continuing to improve. Thanks SVS! Good luck everyone!

                              @dafoota Thank you! I focused on the execution part this time and it didn't fight me as much as some previous efforts.

                                            I went for a comic book origin story idea for this one. I had a hard time coming up with something for this month, but this popped in my head and I thought I'd see how it turned out. Hope you enjoy!
