@Johanna-Kim thanks so much Johanna, just had a look at your work and it's beautiful! Love your rendering style and your characters are super cute! X

@Johanna-Kim This is one of my favorites! I love how the turtle wins because all those rabbits took the turns too fast!

@amandalo
Your reply made me howl! Haha yeh I do enjoy a pun! 
Thanks so much, I really do love drawing characters, it's definitely my favourite thing. Just had a nose at your work and your characters are absolutely adorable! And I've been browsing the past critique arenas and remember your tree house and thinking it was super cool, would have bloody loved that as a kid! Actually, I still do!!!

@marek-halko thanks so much Marek. Ooh I do love Julia Sarda but never looked at Miroslav Sasek so have been googling his work and love it, so thanks for that as I'll definitely be checking more of it out. I've been catching up on some of the past critique arenas and your work keeps popping up- love your funny concepts and honestly it's like you could be doing colour or lighting keys for animation, seriously impressive. Looking forward tonseeing more of it.

Better late than never?
I wasn't feeling up to drawing last month (I have chronic illness), but I kept thinking of my idea for the July Critique Arena prompt. So I decided to draw it anyway. I just thought it would be fun to share, even if it isn't eligible for the tournament.

@helenbrady Thank you Helen, thats too kind of you!

Congrats top 16! It’s up on the critique arena website if you haven’t seen yet!
I’m camping with family and will miss the show tomorrow (first one in three years I’ll be missing!) so good luck to all! -
@LisaF Hmm, I notice my entry isn't in the full list of submissions on the Critique Arena page. Is there a reason for that?
-
@Eugene-Tan it looks like you just missed the deadline you posted 17 days ago which means you posted on the first of the month instead of last day of July.
-
Congrats top 16! Some really great entries! I can’t make the arena tomorrow, but I’ll be eagerly waiting to watch it later tomorrow night. Best of luck in the arena!
-
Congrats everybody that make it in the top 16! I wasn't pick; hope I still get the chance to get a critique as an honorable mention.
@Eugene-Tan Did you submit your artwork at the critique arena website? I submitted my artwork here on the forum without knowing I had to upload it on the critique arena website. I ended submitting my entry on Aug 1 and they were very kind on replying back asking me to fix the dimensions of the image, because I even got that wrong
. They were really patience with me. -
@Eugene-Tan Hi! Sorry about that!
We had sent the image back to you for resizing, as the dimensions were off. There were several entries in the same boat as well.
But, they were still all officially accepted into the contest! Your image was submitted to the judges for review, so they got the chance to check it out
-
Congratulations to the top 16 finalists! They're all so different, and amazing!
On a personal note, having been in the top 16, and even won on occasion, it's always a painful reality check when I don't make the top 16. But I try to take the sting I feel right now, and use it to work even harder and smarter on the next piece. Meanwhile, I look forward to watching Critique Arena later. You can learn a lot just by hearing what resonates with the judges most, and of course, seeing who wins.

@j-sienkowski Thank you! Yes, it's watercolor with some digitally rendered details.
