        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.

                            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!
