November Contest: This was the end of the road for Kamari...

mzameckaart

I started drawing this after reading about the name 'Kamari', that it's an Arabic girl's name that means 'moon'. This inspired me to draw a girl who is the moon (moon godess?), travelling through the night sky until her journey is over with the sun rising. But for the world it is a new beginning - a beginning of a new day.
I wanted to draw this, even though while working on it I thought I won't submit it - it's again too much out there, too vague.
In the end I submitted it though, last minute

@Asyas_illos If they told you had longer, then I wouldn't worry about submitting tonight. I just had planned on submitting tonight because I hadn't heard one way or the other, and I didn't want it lingering over me into December (busy month). Tonight, when I looked at the email from last year's All-Stars, I realized that we had a bit more time last year than I remembered. If I am wrong, then you can reference this post to say that I told you wrong . I am sure that they will send out an email giving us more info.

Just made it on this one! I did a full page spread (which I like better), but decided to crop it for the actual entry.

Thank you to those who gave me feedback! I know I didn’t apply all of it, but I was cutting it a little to close to really bounce other ideas off people.

Didn't have time to finish this off but wanted to submit something so here we are. I was made redundant on Monday from my in-house illustration job (that revolved around dogs) with no warning so I've had a horrible, depressing few days and couldn't look at another dog straight away, haha. Good luck everyone!

Here's to my future in freelance!

Hi, here is my picture for this month.

Hi everyone, I just recently joined SVS after binging on 3point perspective podcasts and the SVS YouTube channel. Got through the whole lot in just over a week!

It's my first critique arena, and I'm now fully regretting my choice of character, as it is so miniscule! I had to take some liberties with scale after my brain exploded trying to get the scale right! And obviously I didn't account for the strip at the bottom till the end, so the shadow gets cut off at a weird place... But I got something in!

@marek-halko - you are truly a genius! Such a simple and perfect concept for a prompt that made my brains scrambled! Well done! Love it

Lorna H

@marek-halko - meant to say that the artwork is also beautifully rendered and unique as always!

@marek-halko Cute and hairy! Love it!

It's awesome to see some many different options where to go with this month prompt!
Here's my take on it.

My entry!

@Katherine thank you I appreciate that. The time I gave is just the actual painting part of the image. There are a few more hours of thumbnails and figuring stuff out at the beginning which I didn't count! But once I'm locked in, it all goes quite quickly after that.

MarcRobinson

@carrieannebrown sorry to hear about your redundancy. That's really crap. I like what you've done with the prompt. Great job. I'm sure freelance will work out.

MarcRobinson

@Katherine giant snail for the win! I like the direction you went with it in the end. Also think the white space for text is a clever addition. Well done.

Sarah VanDam

@mag Cute characters! ️

Chantal Goetheer

@carrieannebrown so sorry to hear that and still you finished your piece containing a dog. Hats off to you!!

Katherine

@MarcRobinson Do you remember the giant racing snail from The Neverending Story (assuming you’re my age)? I think that’s why giant snails have a special place in my heart. Thanks for your input with this one, Marc. I definitely took it in a very different direction than I would have without everyone’s feedback.

Katherine

@Bibi-Senthi Welcome! Bibi I can totally see your character and understand your concept so I think you solved that problem nicely. With the white strip at the bottom, you don’t have to put that on top of your image, it can go underneath. I can take mine into photoshop to do this — just make the canvas height a bit bigger than your image.
