This is the best I can do haha seriously cannot get a picture to upload. Trying to do it from my iPad. Tried all the buttons. Help me so I can enter the next one

@KristyM Maybe your file is too big or not saved in the right format? I believe that the file can only be so big, but I can't remember the size. The longest side can only be up to 1200 px. How big is your file? Are you saving it as a jpg or png file (not sure if you can post other type of files or not, but I have uploaded jpegs and png files). What program are you using to do the artwork? Someone on the forums mat be using the same program and can help you. If you use Photoshop then you can export it, save for the web, and change how many pixels it is and the size will be reduced.

@Kim-Rosenlof 500kb is the max file size to submit, 900x1200 at 72 dpi seems to work pretty well. I don't think that's a limitation for uploading the file though. I sumbmit .jpg files myself.

When is the live critique for this?

I'm sure there is a very obvious place to find this information that I'm just completely missing.

@skillydan they will send out an email if you’re an active svs member, a couple days before, if you’re not I believe they will post it to Facebook or Instagram. It’s usually a Thursday In the beginning of the month. My guess is next Thursday.

@Laurel-Aylesworth - these images are just beautiful! This little chap has a lovely air of Sendak’s Max from “Where the Wild Things Are” - just lovely!

Lorna H

@JDRpictures - what a fantastic character! Beautifully rendered too, you have awesome skills! Well done!

Lorna H

@carlianne - love this little guy! He’s so appealing and beautifully sketched. Amazing!

Lorna H

@RioSim1 - I read your post on your separate thread about feeling out of your comfort zone doing these illustrations as you’re usual style is more realistic, so I just wanted to say well done for submitting these especially as it’s your first submission! Double credit also for using traditional media as so unforgiving of mistakes with no delete option! I’m always super intimidated posting each month as so many of the submissions are epic with super talented creators, but it’s a lovely supportive group and helps you to learn helps. Roy is awesome and a butterfly yeti is totally unique!

@Naters-Calderone - @Naters-Calderone - this wee guy is one of my absolute favourites! I loved seeing you develop him in your WIP thread. Your character designs are awesome. You were right, reducing the size of his horns made him much more yeti-ish! He’s a triumph! I’m in awe of your skills

Lorna H

@jdubz - absolutely love this character. He has a wonderful Dr Seuss feeling and the pairing of a yeti with the office world is epic! Amazing skills as always from you!

Lorna H
