MAY CONTEST: ISOLATION

[carlianne]

@Janna-Gomez I wish I had a pantry like that

[carlianne]

@Kim-Rosenlof this is as beautiful as it is heart breaking

[JoshuaDages]

@Cayleen Beautiful contrast. I really love your style.

[Coley]

@Kim-Rosenlof I love it. Beautiful

[Kat]

@miranda-hoover this took me a minute to figure out - very clever! I love it!

[Janna Gomez]

@carlianne me too!

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@miranda-hoover great concept about nesting dolls

[Cayleen]

@JoshuaDages Thank you!

[Elena Marengoni]

@Heather-Boyd I did a little bit of digging and searching, but I don't think I've found anything that looks similar in terms of subject... I'm super curious though Which one is it?

[JForrestRyan]

Not sure if it's too late... tried to post yesterday afternoon but wasn't a member of the forum yet. I enjoyed trying the challenge this month. So many great entries!

@miranda-hoover Love the concept and style of this one. Well done!

[LisaF]

WOW! These are really great!! I know I say this every time, but I think the judges are gonna have a tough time picking the top 16 A big thank you to all who submitted! We'll be doing the next Critique Arena on Thursday, June 11. Be sure to save the date!

What fantastic entries there are this month. Here's my effort! I hope I'm not too late either. As usual I was having trouble reducing my file size from Procreate without losing image quality. I need to master this for next month! I now notice there are a few other space themed entries, apologies, but I am far too slow a worker to change my image at the last moment! I am not speedy!

@Janna-Gomez - I LOVE your picture, it is exactly how I feel at the moment!! So funny. The contrast between the chaos of the kids and the exhaustion of the Mom hiding in the closet is hilarious and so true to life! Well done!

[Janna Gomez]

@Lorna-H Thank you! Moms need breaks, especially when the kids are home and driving us crazy 24/7.

Your piece is really nice. I really like the texture of the moon. I definitely get the feeling of isolation from the astronaut as he longingly looks at Earth with a broken space vessel behind him. Well done!

@Elena-Marengoni Now it's not a perfect match but Time Heist, season 8. The creature was separated from it's mate, locked away, partly displayed with all the other rare items she had and used. The creature also slightly resembles yours. What do you think?

[Lorna H]

@Janna-Gomez - thanks so much for your kind comments. As usual it didn’t turn out as well as I saw it in my head I’m still really unsure how to translate the way I work traditionally into Procreate, I don’t feel at all at home or like I’ve found my style digitally yet, but I keep trying not to be too intimidated to enter the contests because I learn so much from finishing pieces then looking at other folks amazing work and hearing all the critiques each month. This is a really inspiring forum! So thank you for the encouragement, it means a lot!

@taislemos - what an original concept and so delicately rendered, just beautiful. Well done!

[Lorna H]

@eriberart - love your image, it’s your lovely distinctive style again that makes the picture so appealing.

[Lorna H]

@cynthia-bowman - I just saw your picture today and wanted to say how much I love it! The waves are so hypnotic. I love the way you’ve captured the storm. Just beautiful!
