SEPTEMBER CONTEST: Ink Fairy
-
@Sara-Nilsson I don’t understand why yours wasn’t chosen. I wish they would explain why some really good ones don’t get chosen. I love yours.

@Krista-Blue , I like how the wings are folded paper.
-
@Chris-Philpot , I almost missed that we are looking through the camera. It would have been nice to have some more icons from the screen/viewfinder to help out with that. But I love the drawing and concept!
-
@Miriam Thanks! Yeah, I probably could have reinforced the viewfinder with more icons. Good idea! I learned a lot this month.
-
@miranda-hoover This was my favorite entry this month. So glad it won. Congrats!
-
@Mairin-Kareli , I like your drawing.
I think the ink fairy is going into the camera lens, but I don't understand the math homework. Is it a photo of the homework, and the fairy is altering the photo? Why would you take a photo of homework?
Just a tip for the future: You wouldn't see four sides of the camera (you have the front, top, & both "sides"). If you think of it as a cube, you'd only see 1. the front or back, 2. the top or bottom, & 3. one of the sides.
But other than that, I think the camera is great & the details really add to it. I like the style & the "world" on/around the camera makes a fun & whimsical image. The plants are beautiful & the little bunny-like creature is so cute!
-
@Gary-Wilkinson This is soooooo Brilliant Gary! Loved seeing it make it into the top 16. Congrats!
-
@carolinebautista, This one is a lot of fun.
-
@miranda-hoover, Your squid fairy & all the ink drops are so adorable!
-
@Miriam Thanks
-
@Chris-Philpot Thank you!
-
@Chris-Philpot The more I look at this one, the more I love this take. I'm sad it wasn't included in the top 16 this month. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with for next month!
-
@Miriam Thank you!
-
@miranda-hoover Thanks! I enjoyed this one. I think I'll focus on showing a set-up or aftermath for the next one. I've been a bit on-the-nose with my story elements so maybe that will help.
-
@ruth thanks! I have so far to go
-
@miranda-hoover congratulations 🥳 and my new goal is to not be matched up against you in round one again lol
two months in a row lol. Your piece was deserving of the win 
-
@Coley Hahaha, thank you! I'm excited to see what piece you come up with next month
-
@kimmypie Oh thanx that really warm my hart and made my day <3. I think it´s becourse it´s to week in gesture and showing the concept. It doesn´t read as well as the others, the story isn´t really clear unless I tell it in text first, or U have to search really hard to understand what I was thinking. But thats just why I think mine wasn´t picked this time.
-
@Miriam Hi! Sorry I was on a road trip to the grand canyon and back and interenet was non exsistent out there! Just got back last night. The idea was that the ink fairy was doodling on the little girls math homework. I was thinking that she was imagining capturing the fairy at her mishchieveous work, messing up the girls home work.
The camera is not rectangular - nikons have sloping sides, I used a reference and this is how it would look from the front, but I understand the confusion. Its on me if those angles not 90 degree corners of the camera don't read properly.
THANK YOU sooo much for commenting on my image and for liking its quirky style! I appreciate it soooSOOOOO much!!!
