              This is the first time I've entered the SVS contest. Here's to new goals! I've had this image in mind for a while. Being from Oklahoma, we studied the bison quite a bit. It's our state mammal. When I was in grade school, the species was endangered, and now we are eating them again. I think that's a triumph, right? (Incidentally, the bird is a scissor-tailed flycatcher and is the Oklahoma state bird. Ironically, it is becoming endangered.) Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!!328c2187-f795-4f8a-8207-0a651823013a-image.png image url)

                @Tom-Shannon you have taken the ghost concept into a very sensitive perspective. I like that it has made me think. 🙂

                  Welcome to the contest!

                  @karammitchell not certain if what I am going to say was intentional for you but I like how the mountain shape has been repeated through the hump of your bison (don't you just want to hug him, lols) and even the top of your scissor-tailed flycatcher's head - it helps bring unity to your image (I think that at least). 🙂 Also seen in the clouds I forgot to mention.

                      Hi! I’m new here at this forum and I would like to join the contest this month. I’m not quite sure how to. Do I post an illustration directly here in this thread?

                        @Jenny-Lindqvist yes. Just make sure it's less than 500kb. I didn't know that for a long time.

                            Hey everyone! I'm going on a long Thanksgiving vacation through the end of the month so I have to stop working on this and just submit it!

                            Huge shoutout to everyone who gave me a critique when I was stuck. I printed out all of your comments and considered them one by one. Can't tell you how much you helped!

                            PS: I can't figure out this file size biz. Is this too large?

                            Happy Thanksgiving!

                                    Hi everyone! So this is my very first time submitting to a svs challenge. I'm pretty new and only in the past month or so started getting into children's book illustration, even signed up for a local (in person!!) workshop on children's book illustration starting in Jan so I'm excited about that. I'm still working on finding my style, I work traditionally and I love to draw in mostly pencil/ink/watercolour but I decided to bust out the acrylics on this one with a little digital fine-tuning at the end. I'm not super happy with how I couldn't get the details that I wanted with the brush.
                                    So is my Canadianness showing?? My original idea was a girl with braids playing hockey but decided it would be more fun with friends...this is very intimidating I might add 😛 thanks for looking! hockeygamesmall.jpg

                                            @SFischer I love this one! The creativity behind it and the action are great. Made me laugh out loud.
