"Test Pilot"
It's early in the morning, the engineers and the pilot are ready for their first flight test. What could possibly go wrong?

Wow Lisa, great job!

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@lmrush I like your illustration so much. it's very cute.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@lydia-m Your concept is very cute and heart-warming. I like it. Your textures too! Did you paint it in Photoshop? What type of brush did you use?

[lmrush]

@tessw Thank you Tess, still not completely happy with it but happy to be creating and progressing

[lmrush]

@nyrryl-cadiz thank you

Lisa, this is a charming illustration.

It's a tricky one with value control though. Are these light shapes on a light background or darker shapes on a light background? Make your decision there a little more definite. I would tend to darken around the edge of your characters and boat. Darken your overall local colors in there and possibly use lighting to make the values read better. Look at some of Will's work. He is a master at controlling this kind of stuff.

Nice stuff to everyone so far! keep em' coming!

@lee-white Thank you, I will study Will's work. You guys make it look so easy, it is really hard-thanks for your time

@nyrryl-cadiz Thanks! Yes it's all Photoshop. I mostly used Kyle Webster's dry media brush called medium pastel.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@lydia-m Thanks for replying. It's very helpful.

I'm really hoping to make time to get an illustration in for this prompt. I've finally settled on a concept but it involves a prominent copyright/trademark character. Is fanart acceptable and permissible for these prompts?

[Lee White]

@jon-anderson You can enter it, but it probably won't place. I want new concepts for the challenges so you can use them in your portfolio.
