      Loved the challenge. Much to learn. Tried to keep it in the style of my last months submission. The more I work on it the more I think this would be a fun project to base a small 10-20 page comic story on.

        Think I’m done with entries, until my head is well again. Thanks svs I feel like I’ve really grown artistically since last November. This was a great and challenging prompt! Thanks @AustinShurtliff for being patient and working with me on the template process! Though I still haven’t got it down😕

                @AustinShurtliff did I get the template right on my last 2 entries? I’d rather lose quality than be disqualified for not using the template please let me know which ones you have, I didn’t see last ones on the website.

                  A humid inn, with chance for lots of sun - perfect for a tortoise traveler.

                    Think I'm calling this one done. Welcome to the Dam Inn 🙂 Built this as a waypoint for my rabbit character and his brave capybara companion!

                              This is my fairytale inn.

                              It rests at the bottom of the sea.

                              And is located within a popular undersea city. The city is surrounded by a huge oxygen dome, so there's actually no water inside.

                              It looks like a fish. But that's not all...

                              It can even uproot itself and swim away like a fish for evacuation during earthquakes.

                                  still having trouble with quality using the template though. I try and zoom in and it just goes straight to pixels...🤷🏻‍♀️

                                        @AustinShurtliff Has anyone else asked about the best way to use this template in Procreate on Ipad? Like @Asyas_illos I'm finding that when I download it and open it in Procreate, it comes out to 1200 px on a side. Alternatively, I can submit a square format image in the size and resolution you specify without that template.

                                          Here's my entry for the fairytale traveler's inn. I've had less time to participate in the forum this month, and I'm experimenting with a style that lets me work in watercolor and digitally together. What do you think? April_2021_Valerie_Light.jpg

                                            The Gentle Giant Inn - the final resting place of a careless giant has been turned into an inn by entrepreneuring mice.

                                            Like others I find the 1200x1200 pixels of the template to be quite restrictive. The same goes for the 500kb limit to be honest. If that is how its going to be, though, I guess you have to take that into consideration early on in the design. My image is too detailed for that size I think and had I realized this earlier I would probably have chosen another subject.
