Thank you so much, everyone. I am so honored to have so many of you helping out and confused as ever, hahaha...
I will be submitting 1,2,4 this time. Mostly to diversifying the subject matter.
no. 1 outdoor nature scene, mother and child relation.
no. 2 indoor scene, anthropomorphic character
no. 4 city scene, imaginary creature.I will be submitting 6 and 7 for the AOI's world illustration competition. The deadline is also this weekend if any of you are interested. It has an entry fee, but it is open for both members and non-members. It will be my first time submitting to that competition as well. I am looking for all possible outlets to promote an upcoming book I illustrated (which no. 7 is the first spread of that book).
https://theaoi.com/wia2021/I have been at the edge of burnout lately, and just had a rather tough day today. Coming back to be a bit more active in the forum really helped to cheer me up. Thank you so much for your support!
Love from Norway :-).

@xin-li I was goi g to pick 1, 4 and 6
. So many great choices. You will have a very strong showcase! -
So hard to pick, but I will go with 1,2 and 3 although 4 is wow!
-
Thank you very much @Coley and @shereen-said. I went for 4 instead of 3, because my non-artist husband said 3 is a nice and cozy image, but 4 made him wanting to know what happens next. So I went for that :-).
-
@xin-li number 4 is epic!
-
@xin-li really beautiful work. I love them all but Iād pick 1,3 and 4. 3 for the lovely relationship and 4 for the buildings and overall creative imagery. Good luck!!
-
@xin-li 1,4 and 6 look like they are from the same book1
-
@xin-li I like these the most 1,2 and 4. As they show off a range of skills and competence in covering a range of subjects. 1. People interacting with nature, culture and motion. 2. Animals, ideas and concepts, 4. Epic creatures, magical storytelling and grand scenes.
-
All of them have such fantastic story but in my opinion 1, 2 and 5. 1 has a great composition, wonderful colors and clear focus of characters. 2 has a great sense of lighting, a lot of detail but still soft and strong character with wonder. 5 is a fantastic spot illustration, full of color and showing the conditions without a gloomy background, which keeps it fun.

Thank you so much everyone. Always nice to hear how fellow artists see my work. I am making room to develop more personal pieces in 2021. I see that the best work I do is almost always personal work, and with the help of the forum here :-).

1 2 and 7...but you could include them all!
