FEBRUARY CONTEST

[Johanna Kim]

I really like the Octopus theme because you can get a lot of movement with the tentacles, and point to things of importance. Any critiques are welcome and appreciated. ~ Johanna

clever

@orsi this is so visually appealing to me—not sure if it’s the colors, the focus , the composition, but it’s an illustration that pulls me back to this page to look again

[BichonBistro]

@johanna-kim very nice! I really like the transparency of the octopus and your ability to create a believable environment (I always have persoecyive-envy!)

[BichonBistro]

@cassie-chancy who knew that octopi (is that the plural?) were capable of such emotion? Your illustration draws me right to the heart of their relationship

[cassie chancy]

[cassie chancy]

@bichonbistro aw! thank you very much!

[BichonBistro]

@smceccarelli saw this on IG: loved it then, love it now—so imaginative and fun!

[Orsi]

@bichonbistro thank you so much for your lovely comment It's already a win for me to have been able to create something that brings you back to look at it again

I liked learning about octopuses as I worked on my entry. Here it is.

[heathertbl]

H everyone! I am fairly new to SVS and this is my first time posting in the forums, and my first time entering a contest I have gotten so much valuable info over the last month from the videos!

[Orsi]

@heathertbl I really like the idea of the two eating popsicles and the details and glow on the head of the octopus. Lovely!

[heathertbl]

@orsi Thank you!

I actually made a piece this month. Considering I gave birth last month and haven't had a full nights sleep since well before then, I think I get a prize just for having something to post.

(Also, those who think she ought to be doing more things with her arms are missing the ENTIRE POINT. Just sayin'.
