      Oh no! I hope I'm not too late. I would just love it if you'd consider either of these? (And credit would just be great, thank you so much ❤ my website is n0ireclipse.myportfolio.com Edit: oops. And my name is Jessica Perri. )
      The first image is surrounding the theme of "victory" in which the king of the land has finally gained dominance over the dragons and his knights are celebrating with him.

      The second is more of an exciting piece in which a girl went out into the sea during a bad storm and her friend goes out to retrieve her.

          How Awesome! What a great idea! I've been dying for some feedback! Would love to hear your critiques!

          This is from the one of the 3rd Thursday (I think the last one where we submitted works), This is Thomas the Space Fireman saving an alien cat from an asteroid:

          You can also pull from my Design 100 Space Explorers thread if you want: http://forum.svslearn.com/topic/2722/design-100-space-explorers

          I'm so looking forward to these! I always get so much out of watching the critique SVS videos no matter whose work we are looking at 🙂

            The concept behind this piece is just a quirky coffee truck serving coffee.
            I wonder if the scene would do better in a city setting showing building behind.
            (Also, I realize the white cat blends in with the snow in the background.)

              This is a 4 years progress, time in which I watched every tutorial that I could find or afford. Will Terry's influence is obvious.
              At this time I feel like this is the strongest piece in my portfolio so it will be a bit heart breaking to see the holes in it but also very very helpful. Thank you for your time and consideration!

                  @will-terry-art Thank you for the crit Will!

                  All excellent points and you didn't even make me cry! In all seriousness: that was a pretty obvious mistake regarding how I had the floor drawn. I also appreciate that tip on how it is a good idea to draws rooms with at least 2 walls showing in order to create more interesting pieces.
                  I think I was too nervous to put the person in 3/4 view at the time I painted it (didn't think I could pull it off) but I 100% should have done so.

                  Thanks again!

                        gulp Here we go - huge preview of a piece that will actually only be printed at 10cm high. 🙂

                        It is a tarot card, Ten of Pentacles, within a space theme. The card traditionally is a patriarch looking at his achievements and family, celebrating his accomplishments, family, and financial wealth, while dogs play in the foreground.

                        This is me: http://gila.be/ - https://www.instagram.com/gila.be/

                        I started painting in PSD a year ago, still have the luxury of having my money come from design work, so I am slowly shifting to illustration.

                            Hi Will, would love to hear what you think.

                            so this was done as part of a children's book pitch submission. Its a story of a boy who sees monsters.

                            Don't have a website but I can be found on instagram https://www.instagram.com/paul_joel_hendricks/?hl=en

                              Tools: Pen, Marker, Color Pencil, Pencils for planning out proportions.

                              The concept: "A future explorer landed on an alien planet to find mysterious monuments engraved with alien constellations."
                              This is part of an illustrations series I'm doing called Space Age
                              Artist notes: (Just extra thoughts)

                              • So one problem I found was the white line in the sky was supposed to be a small ring to show this was an alien planet. It didn't turn out like I thought so In the future I can do something different

                              • I wanted to try to have the light from the sky bounce onto the objects which I think went well, but would like to see a professional opinion on my colors and values.

                              • Because of the astronauts helmet I thought to have the hill rise up to show he was looking towards the monument. I don't know if it succeeded, but I tried.

                              Thanks for consideration. If you choose this I'm excited to see any professional advice you could give. Thanks again.

                                Here's my illustration.
                                I've done this one for my portfolio, to show consistency of work in a series of images from the same story, with same characters etc...
                                Mr and Mrs Mouse are working in their garden when Cat appears. This is when Mrs Mouse sees the cat, runs back inside and warns Mr Mouse

                                0_1489510084029_cat-web.jpg

                                Here is the first image I did (to compare consistency), which is actually the last image of the story, when Mr and Mrs Mouse prevailed against Cat and can safely enjoy a cup of tea:

                                  Just saw the first critique session on YouTube. Love this so much, a MASSIVE help already.

                                  Here are a few.

                                  0_1489521680869_Untitled_Artwork.jpg
                                  Concept: For a kids book about a dinosaur who has to travel through NYC to get back to the Natural History Museum.

                                  Concept: Another kids book. In this one the main character has just got disconnected from his ship and can't get back.

                                  Concept: One of the last spreads on a kids book project. The opposing team scores in the last seconds again a team of T-Rex's.

                                          Concept: this is a portfolio piece. The kids are diving looking for a perfect shell to bring home from holidays.

                                            hi @will-terry-art
                                            This piece is named "Blue Boy"
                                            It's about a baby that was left in an abandoned section of a working industrial plant and raised by rats, mice, and spiders. All the characters raised Blue Boy to fear the outside world and the day light they also taught him to horde scrap and steal from the factory workers while staying hidden. He is very creative, imaginative and inquisitive especially about the world outside in the light. One day the mice bring in a giant egg and lay it next to the furnace where he sleeps it eventually hatches a Blue Bird who becomes Blue Boys new best friend. As the bird matures he begins to go outside and fly in the sun light which then leads Blue Boy to the outside world and soaring in the sun light. I don't currently have a website or social media aside from this forum which you could link to where I post my stuff. "Blue Boy" the name both represents his nature of being blue as in "he has the blues" and also for his transformation led by his best friend the Blue Bird.
