Here's a link to my website where you can see this picture in much more detail. It was designed to print at 11x17!
https://www.valerielightillustration.com/projects-8@Johanna-Kim @Kim-Rosenlof @Sarah-vandam @AngelinaKizz @Asyas_illos Thank you guys, sincerely, for encouraging me to repost this at higher res. I was feeling pretty doomy at deadline time yesterday, and all of your kind notes really lifted me back up when I read them today.
This project, and your comments, prompted me to think more in depth about what presentations make my art look best. I think I'll be redesigning my webpage to support much bigger images, like this link has begun to do.
@Erichousel Yes! I LOVE the idea of working on a game map of some kind.
@Jeremiahbrown Thanks for appreciating all that detail. I really got carried away, but honestly it was a ton of fun for practicing animal poses. I just now took a sec to count hem all. 115 I think?!
@aurelia I'm so glad you could get the humor from it! -
@Jeremy-Ross man every time I scroll through here I find ones I missed! I love this, the mo-ped cracks me up!
nice work! -
So I have been awol for a couple of months! Had alot going on and working alot so I am back on the forum and would like some feedback on this entry that I just did not finish in time for Critique Arena.
Something I am trying to develop more is my understanding of values and the composition within those values. Does it all translate and what can I improve?
Thanks guys... so glad to be back- I've missed being here every day...

@frankiiij I love the highlight and shadow!

Thanks @Asyas_illos! Went for a different execution on this one. Love your entries!

@Valerie-Light Just looked at the larger version of your illustration. Wow! I'd vote for you based on super fun storytelling, character design, humor, and making something kids would have a blast poring over. This could be a poster or puzzle. And your website is great. I especially like your Bio page. It has so much personality.

@Jeremy-Ross I really like the style and thanks

@Johanna-Kim Wow, thanks Johanna!

@Valerie-Light BRILLIANT!!! You really took this prompt and ran with it in a unique direction, full of AWESOME witty detail, and I love it!! Great characters, too. I remember the guys recently critiquing your website on the podcast, and I’d say this is definitely one of those standard raising “pinnacle pieces.” Of course, not all illustrations need such high detail, but you have a serious knack for it when it’s called for. Super excited to see more from you… and I want to see if I can make something just as good.
Game on.https://sarahvandam.art/

@Sarah-VanDam WOOO Thank you for that awesome praise!
-
@Eliana-Bastidas Oh, that’s so frustrating! Glad to see your image here, though. That’ll be great if they can make an exception, but if not, come back again and compete again soon!

@kirsten-mcg Lol. Thank you!

@Sarah-VanDam Yeah, will definitely try to compete again. The good thing is that is not going to happen again

Hi Everyone, I am new to SVS, and I love the content and all the input and helpful advice I am seeing on the forum! I am a fine artist looking to ramp up my creative juices, so I am looking to learn more about visual storytelling through illustration. I joined in June, so this is my first entry into the Critique Arena! Please let me know what you think, I am open to any and all helpful advice. I’ll end with a question, can you tell from this illustration what two words I am trying convey?

@lucy_gow I love this Lucy
-
@aurelia love this Aurelia, super cute characters and lovely colours
-
@Valerie-Light ah no! It looks amazing though Valerie, please post a higher resolution version on here so we can see it properly! X
-
@Valerie-Light I went to your website and read the whole thing. If I were a kid, I'd want this on my wall in a heartbeat. It's fun and really well done, with appealing characters and layout. Unfortunately it would be hard to see in the Critique Arena even at higher resolution, but don't let that discourage you.
-
@LauraA Wow, thanks, Laura! That is really encouraging. I think I was really feeling uncertain about how this one would be received, but I just had so much fun letitng myself get carried away. I'm glad it's working.
@helenbrady you can see a much bigger image at http://www.valerielightillustration.com/projects-8

Ahhhh! First time entering critique arena! I am super impressed with the entries I have seen so far! Well done everyone!
