          @LisaF I would absolutely love Thursday critiques! Although the critiques for the winners of Mermay were very informative and I enjoyed watching it, I was a bit disappointed that they didn't critique everyone's pieces. I know that would be a lot of work, but that direct critique was SO helpful for me in April that I was really hoping for another critique this time, too.

          So yes, if there is a way to get more personal critiques going, I am all for that!! Especially if there's a video of them posted later. Excellent idea! Thanks so much!

              @Lee-White im curious did the mixups with the email system also affect you choosing which pieces to consider because I think you mentioned only subscribers submissions would count? Or am I mistaken.

                @LisaF thanks, it’s good the Critiques are going to be able to view for all of us, those of us that participate, put a lot of of work into these prompts, and the feedback is very important to all of the artists that contributed to the Svs Learn Mermay. That’s why we participated, for the feedback. And of course, living all around the world we can’t be at your same place at your time. What I like about Svs Learn is the accessibility, I can see what I want to see when I want to see it, that’s your strength. I think this live thing is fine but not backing it up with a recorded version is moving away from what makes svslearn valuable.

                  @Aleksey I’m thinking the judges judged the work based on what was posted on the Mermay contest, that’s my guess.

                    Thank you for posting the video soon. I didn't receive an e-mail, so I missed out. Looking forward to the recording.

                      @Aleksey Hi! All the contest entries were reviewed first without regard to subscriber status, the ones that were selected actually all turned out to be subscribers. A couple of the winning entrants did not get emails either 🤦♀ There were so many great images, it was so hard to choose! Hope that helps clarify!

                          @animatosoor I love this--the style is unique and I love the mermaids marching into town. Your colors are stunning also.

                                  @LisaF Thank you for all the work you obviously put in on this! It sounds like it was a major headache! I think we’d all LOVE to have more critiques from the guys, whether they are live or not. It would really help us see our blond spots & where we need to improve! Thanks again!

                                    @Norman-Morana I realize this is from a year ago, but just had to say this is fantastic - the world of it, the style, the story, that cat shadow!!
