Happy New Year, Rabbits
, both old and new! Today is the first blank page in a 365 page book that is just waiting to be filled with your creativity. I hope all of your dreams and goals are fulfilled this year.I don’t usually make resolutions but this year I want to promise myself that I will be more consistent in producing art each week, and I’m looking forward to sharing with all of you. Do any of you have a goal/resolution you want to tell us about?
Now, let’s share what we’re working on for January!
Remember: Don't be shy. Just imagine you have invited all your SVS friends into your studio for a peek at what you're working on. We're all here to admire and encourage. This is NOT a place for critiques. You may applaud, encourage, ooh and ah, only. Relentless kindness.

@Larue I love the colours - gives a lovely vintage winter feel. And the snow splatters look like fun.

I recently completed my 2023 Folktale Week series of illustrations. I chose to do them more in the vein of Lee White's "Slovember" approach, and really took my time with each one. I also used the key words to help flesh out the trajectory of the story I'm developing, which is an adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood heavily inspired by the folktale but nothing like it. How's that for vague? LOL!
This year's words (Lost, Ink, Underground, Sleep, Sea, Illusion, and Found) fundamentally helped me flesh out the story, too, and I got a LOT of writing and development done on the project, which in turn inspired yet more imagery... So even though the event was technically in November, I'm still working with the ramifications of the inspirational directions it led me toward.
I really enjoyed the experience of "exploring" the story through visual imagery, and letting imagery lead to text. Some of these aren't going to work at all, but they were useful tools in the process. It has been a great experience thus far.
Here's a collage of the Folktale Week series.

I'm looking into deepdiving into the fundamentals of art. I've got quite a journey already, but I bump into issues when drawing anatomy, color and values. So I thought. Lets start the lessons on SVS learn. So here I am (since november last year).
So thats my resolution for the coming year. Finish the course ! I hope. or at least come pretty far with it
.Anyway, what I've been working on last week: A commission for a friend. A pandaren from the world of warcraft realms, but with a twist. She ran into some nasty gnomes that needed to experiment on someone... and well, she needed the money.
Let me know what you think

Welcome @Avondrood-art ! There’s lots to learn here on SVS, but the key is doing the assignments and posting your work in the forum.

@Jeremy-Ross Thank you! You've got amazing art yourself. And yeah, thats why I'm here, to do the assignments. But in between I'm happy when I have a commission, because it pays the course

Here is a bit of an image dump. Been really busy working on some creature concepts for a client and found out recently my wife and I will have a booth again at Emerald City Comic Con so I'm scrambling to create something new for that. It will be a part 2 to my "The Oddities of Evergroan Manor" book I did for my first comic con. I'll post stuff from that soon.
Other than that, I've been a bit quite here so I'm hoping to dive back in a bit and be more active. Anyway, here are some mindless noodles and doodles from recently that helps keep my brain creative and relaxed.
