@Kim-Rosenlof Thank you! I love the little squirrel and umbrella idea you did with your yeti.

@KristyM you could get an app that compresses photos. I would love to see what you did!

Didnt manage to pull myself together for the contest, but always wanted to try a turn around, so i did a small one for a grumpy yeti character.

Melissa_Bailey

@marek-halko that's so cool! How did you do that?

marek.halko

@Melissa-Bailey-0 thanks! I just drew him from eight angles and then used the animation assist in procreate for a loop play. It is not much consistent but it was fun.

Jules

@marek-halko So cool! I gotta tryout that feature some time! Thanks for sharing!

@KristyM Maybe your file is too big or not saved in the right format? I believe that the file can only be so big, but I can't remember the size. The longest side can only be up to 1200 px. How big is your file? Are you saving it as a jpg or png file (not sure if you can post other type of files or not, but I have uploaded jpegs and png files). What program are you using to do the artwork? Someone on the forums mat be using the same program and can help you. If you use Photoshop then you can export it, save for the web, and change how many pixels it is and the size will be reduced.

@Kim-Rosenlof 500kb is the max file size to submit, 900x1200 at 72 dpi seems to work pretty well. I don't think that's a limitation for uploading the file though. I sumbmit .jpg files myself.

When is the live critique for this?

I'm sure there is a very obvious place to find this information that I'm just completely missing.

@skillydan they will send out an email if you’re an active svs member, a couple days before, if you’re not I believe they will post it to Facebook or Instagram. It’s usually a Thursday In the beginning of the month. My guess is next Thursday.
