@Jenna-Jenks This is beautiful. Was this done traditionally?

Yes! I don't do anything in digital form at this time (Most of my work I take on the go to my other job LOL!) This piece is India Ink though if you were wondering the medium

[Jenna Jenks]

@chrisaakins The falling monster is such a fun picture! (especially with the book he's reading :P) The shadows are nice too

[Jenna Jenks]

@sarahlash I love the perspective of distance you give the ladder, and the droplets on the webbing and brightness of the etched design from her throw is really nice touches

Nightfall . . .

[sarahlash]

@Jenna-Jenks Thank you so much!

[Georgia Wilson]

@robgale Thanks so much! Yeah it's meant to be a giant plant!

[jenithornhill]

@marshallx this is really nice. I love the coloring in it.

First time posting here! This is an illustration I created for my portfolio. It will be presented with some made up text on the right hand side where I put my info.

I'm not sure if this is allowed, so just disregard it if it isn't, but I wanted to do some speculative book covers for my portfolio so tried to combine it with this month's theme and did a book cover for Peter Pan

[eriberart]

Maybe I'm not posting in the optimum format/dimensions, but when I post images they tend to be low quality unless you click on them to open them in a new web page Not sure why this is, as no one elses images look pixelated to me!

[NicolaSchofield]

@eriberart On both my laptop and phone screen your image looks fine. Not pixelated, and when I click and open it I can't tell the difference.
I know what you mean about it doing that sometimes though... no idea why.

Nightfall or Knight-fall. Inspired by Lee White's hot yoga session.

[eriberart]

@neschof Strange! The quality of my own image looks so poor on my laptop... I guess that is okay if it looks fine for everyone else though haha!

[deborah Haagenson]

I work with the resolution at 300 dpi in PS. Then when I'm ready to submit, or submit for feedback, I reduce the resolution to 72 dpi, change the dimensions to about 1200×900 and save as a .jpg, with quality of 11. This keeps the size down to the 500 kb and the image looks pretty clear when submitted. Keep a 300 dpi copy though to make changes. I was given this info by another member a few months ago.

@Coley I love that! The render on the mouse is so fluffy and the texture and lighting everywhere are beautiful!
