I want to thank those who've voted for my piece on Critique Arena. With all the great designs entered I was surprised to have been selected for one of this month's Top 16. I also want to congratulate @baileyvidler for advancing into the Top 8. Her piece made for a tough competition.

@Amanda-Bancroft aww, thanks so much! Yes, this prompt is right up my alley — animals are one of my favorite things to illustrate, especially cute & furry ones (of course).

(And this character has inspired me — he needs his own story!)

My Albert is taking his time to digest his loss in the contest.. But he surely is happy for the winners!! Congrats, Mag and Melissa, brilliant character designs!!

@Irina-Demirci-Pak Ooo I love this!!! And Albert the Muskrat wants to join your Albert But it was a very good learning experience and I feel I have made some progress. Now I am working on character sheets for ather two characters I draw, I feel it will help greatly with consistency and posing! I hope to get in the 16 though, at some point, for the awsome critique....

@Oana haha good he is not alone in his feelings )))) and you are right, I also learnt so much from this task and will keep going! Good luck in the next turn

Sadly, I couldn't attend the critique arena live, as it was around 2 am my time. I was wondering if there is any way I could see the votes? Thanks!

Late to the party because we were camping...but had to check while we're driving home. Congratulations to the top 16 and to @Melissa-Bailey-0 and @mag!! My family and I loved yours. My kids wish there really was going to be a PBS show called Albert now. Can't wait to watch the Arena and learn from you. Good luck designing houses, we can't wait to see more of the story.

@Katie-Carling thanks so much! Albert was such a fun character to design -- everyone did so great!
