FEBRUARY CONTEST: NIGHTFALL

[jdubz]

@deborah-Haagenson thanks I appreciate it! That pretty closely resembles the swimming pool by my house growing up

@Gillian-Howden Thank you! I wasn’t so sure about the size of the moon... the bigger the better right:)

[nikstage]

@Coley you are too kind but there is a great amount of talent here! So happy to be part of this creative community:)

[nikstage]

@carlianne a very sweet moment executed wonderfully!

[Gillian Howden]

Thanks everyone for being willing to share your work and talent! I admire all of you and hope to improve my own work over time. Here’s my submission for this month’s contest

I love seeing everyone's unique take on "Nightfall" This is my first entry on SVS, and I thoroughly enjoyed incorporating some of my roots in this piece, including Lake Superior's "Sleeping Giant".

@nikstage thanks Niki! ️️

[Nathalie Kranich]

So many amazing entries this month!
I finished this a week or so ago, so I thought I best post before I forget.

Amazed by all that stunning work
My picture is something I love to do in summer: Just be in nature, look at the stars and enjoy the moment...

@jdubz So funny love it!

My 1st post here.. so not sure if I am posting it the right way.

Meet Nina, a girl who loved night and darkness as she saw night as the time to break-free and not be under the scanner of light, do what she loves to do.
Nina loved reading books and sing all night, but she was a terrible singer and wasn’t encouraged much by others to pursue her passion. To do what she loved the most she escaped to woods every night and sang aloud all night.
Hope you encourage Nina to pursue what she loves...

This is from me. I am a real night owl!

@deborah-Haagenson I've been working to improve my facial features for this style, so I updated my entry. It really is hard to transition from traditional artwork to digital illustration, so I empathize with everyone who is trying to make this change. I do continue to see improvement and will keep working at this until I get it right!

[Lisa Pickard]

Hi, just checking - if my illustration is a spread from a book is it ok to put the wording on with the image (a couple of rhyming lines) or does my entry just have to be the illustration on its own? Thanks.

[jdubz]

@Lisa-Pickard In the past, it's always been fine, but the caveat has always been: if it contains text, the form, function and aesthetics of the text will be judged as part of the overall design.

@Nathalie-Kranich This one is great - such a good underwater feel.
