      @jdubz I really like what you have done. Such a peaceful image. Isolation can be a good thing.

        Tried something a little different this month. It's a combination of traditional watercolor and digital. Update: changed the lighting to more of a night scene.

          I haven't submitted to any contest's this year, but that was for personal growth. Over the past 5 months I have had a lot fun experimenting and finding a technique I enjoy to use. I started a series of alien illustrations and isolation hit a idea for me. Here is my submission.

            @Heather-Boyd Thanks! I can't take total credit for the idea, though, my wife suggested the minotaur 😁

              @JoshuaDages Thanks! My wife suggested the using the minotaur in the prompt, but I was also inspired by Jun Chiu's The Cursed Girl which is the story of Madusa.

                    Hi, all. My inspiration comes from pre-Covid-19 days. Being the new kid can be particularly hard and ā€œisolatingā€ at lunch time, leaving one fiddling with a milk carton and not eating much food. I explored patterns to provide the energy for the noise/conversation from others in the room.

                      I've been a bit quiet here lately. I've been experimenting with combing traditional and digital media lately and made this today

                          @eriberart Really nice! I love how the watercolor looks, it's something I think can't really be replicated digitally yet. I did a similar thing this month with a watercolor background and a digital painted character...I wasn't quite sure if I made the digital and traditional bits feel like they "belong" in the same image, but I feel like you integrated them really well here.

                            @Braxton thank you! I’m happy to hear that as its been something I’ve been struggling with to make sure they look like they belong together 😊

                                      @Melanie-Ortins This is lovely! I like how you have so much detail, but it doesn't detract from your focus.

                                          @miranda-hoover Thank you ...I tried for a bit more of a softer style than I usually do but I was pleased with how it came out 😊

                                            @mcucchi I really like the style and vibe. Out of curiosity, did you make a pencil drawing then color it digitally?
