SVS Virtual Studio November 2022

@Jeremy-Ross What??? I love your work, whoever rejected you must be blind.

[Jeremy Ross]

Thank you @Mia-Clarke! Means a lot, but I take it as I sign that I’m not ready or that I just haven’t found an agent which resonates with my work.

If you build it, they will come, lol.

@Jeremy-Ross @Asyas_illos @Mia-Clarke you all make such great pieces! I only hope one day in the far future I become as good as you. Keep at it, it has to happen one day, because your art rocks! And I could picture it easily in a book.

[Jeremy Ross]

You are too kind @Chantal-Goetheer! ️️️

[ArtistErin]

LOL I Love Slowvember, definitely looking forward to it after Inktober and Folktale week...

@Mia-Clarke Put up a countdown of at least 50 markers to check off for each rejection. Don't allow yourself to get blue until after you've received at least 50. I would recommend 100 just to keep yourself sane. Lol
Then buckle down and work harder.
Good luck

[Mia Clarke]

@burvantill That’s probably the way to do it, you’re right. Thanks for the encouragement! It’s hard though to not take it personal, but probably better to pool the heartache into every 50 rejections rather than to go through an artistic crisis every time someone says no.

@braydin-hawlette haha I'm laughing so hard. Love this!!

[burvantill]

@Mia-Clarke Yes! Keep yourself mentally and physically healthy and know that you are not alone in this.

[ArtistErin]

@Jeremiahbrown Sooo well done Excellent rendering and lighting... Great job!

I've been slowly working on this one since the beginning of fall and finally finished it during the last days of fall!

[burvantill]

@JacksonAdamsArt LOVE the color!

I have completed my comic!!!! Here is the art for the cover (sans type).

I am building a new website layout that will handle comics. When that is up and running I will share the link and you can all go check it out (if you like).
I just want to remind everyone that this comic was the one that I had planned to complete for Folktale week 2021! I realized before the week had started that there was no way I was going to finish this in a week and have it be anywhere near good. So I stopped, re-planned and worked bit by bit in my spare time (after day job and caring for family). Here I am 1 year later with something that I am so proud of. I can't wait to show it off, but I'm gonna because I want to make sure I'm doing it justice.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving All!!

Hello my friends. I am curious if anyone here is interested in taking over the monthly posting of our SVS Virtual Studio starting January?
It's time that I pass the torch. =)x

[Asyas_illos]

@burvantill Ooh I’d love toooo!

[Sarah VanDam]

@braydin-hawlette Oh man, YES!!!

[Sarah VanDam]

@Asyas_illos If anyone could do it, you could.

[Asyas_illos]

@burvantill unless there’s someone who’s been here longer who wants to, I would gladly step out of the way for seniority.

[burvantill]

@Asyas_illos Done! Thank you for stepping up. I'm going to start my web comic and I know that I will forget to keep up with the monthly svs post. I am happy that our art friends will still have a casual place to share. Sometimes the pressure of making a new post to share one thing seems too much and then we (the viewers) don't get to see the great work that is happening behind the scenes. So THANK YOU! =)x

I will announce it when I post December's Virtual Studio. ️️️

[Asyas_illos]

@burvantill cool! As long as I’ve been here you’ve done wonderfully, I’ll do my best to keep up the good work!
