          OMG..Guys.. I've just noticed, that in a work I have submitted on the sitting pose there are no Horns 🀦 It seems like the layer was OFF and i didn't notice it.. so I have changed it and submitted the second time with the same character but this time with horns. Do you think it will be valid?😒

            @Georgios-Christopoulos Thanks so much and it's great to see you back in the forums! Edward and Ron are wonderful characters!
            @juliemillardart Thank you☺ !
            @Braden-Hallett It looks terrible as usual Braden but I'm sure that if you work hard enough eventually you'll crack the top 16 πŸ˜„ (It looks really wonderful, such a professional looking piece).
            @K-Flagg DYNAMITE! Great detail, nice varied line thicknesses and uses... a master example of the "Ink" part of Inktober. Lovely stuff!

                I guess you can write them a mail. It's a lovely little character πŸ™‚

                        @Koaila-art I noticed after I submitted one of my characters that the eye and the X on the skull design on the pirates hat are reversed in one of the poses. I just left it. I am sure they will figure it out and use the new one you submitted.

                              My submission is of Oscar the orangutang.
                              He is confident, joyful and just happy to be alive.
                              His dad sells bannanas as a banana vendor at the local stadium and Oscar loves banana splits!!!!jonathansolomon-september2021.jpg

                                  Well, I ended up doing this in a real hurry this evening and it is waaaaaaay past my bedtime but after spending time early on in the month doing the close up of the face I really wanted to β€œship” it even if I would have liked to spend more time on it!

                                          Hi πŸ™‚ Its my first time working on a monthly contest/prompt; and I left it until the last minute as I've had a busy month moving house, but wanted to enter anyway to make myself cross the finish line. I've not had to use layers and editing files digitally before - I'd never heard of a psd file let along used it. I just draw doodles with pens and pencils, so by doing the challenge I have at least learnt how to do some basic file editing stuff. I didn't have time to properly finalise the drawing or text.
                                          I also wanted to give myself the challenge of drawing a character without traditional character features (ie eyes, mouth) - loosely inspired by the way Pixar turn inanimate objects into characters, so went with a jellyfish with just imaginary eyebrows.
                                          I struggled with arranging the images in the square as I'd drawn them separately, and they don't fit together very well - definitely something to think about next time!
